Do whatever it takes to defeat this health care bill.

YAY HOOTERS!!!!!

Starr? You would complain if they hung you with a new rope. The fight against Obama care needs to continue, right up the the last vote. I think Hooters is a good example of our free enterprise system at work. The young people that work at Hooter's do not want to pay for the health insurance of the 30,000,000 to 46,000,000 people that do not have health insurance. The guilt tactics of the democrats will not work on the voters that understand the current welfare system. Not one of the proponents of Obamacare say anything about Medicaid, they just make it sound like society is going to let poor people die because they do not have access to health insurance. That's just plain wrong and you know it.

Good hit, mister!

Thank you, Semper Fi, I love that image you found.

LOL Ironic that you make that argument - since many Hooters employees and a majority of restaurant workers generally don't even HAVE health insurance coverage because of the right wing obstructionists. I can understand that YOU would feel no guilt about the millions of uninsured people out there who are going to die because of your greed, but the right wing abandoned any pretense of having a conscience long ago. The bottom line is that the right wing's efforts are going to cause people to die who would not die if they would stop opposing anything and everything for the simple reason that the President proposed it. Half the republicans in congress are proud of the fact that they are opposing a bill that they haven't even bothered to read.

And I have nothing against Hooters. It's not exactly my personal choice of a great place to go, but I do respect the "free enterprise" system and I have no objection to anyone choosing that form of "entertainment". What bothers me, and what ought to bother you, is that bribing people for their votes is not exactly what a democratic society is supposed to be about. Both parties do it, and I am not singling out the right wing. I think people should be informed about issues and support or oppose proposals based on facts and not on where they will get the biggest reward.

What happened to Medicaid? What happened to Catastrophic Health Insurance? What happended with the charitable health care that almost every hospital has available for patients that are unable to pay? The only thing different is the control. The last time I checked, most hospitals were still privately owned and managed. Your party has not gained complete control yet, however, I know you are working very hard to take over the entire Free Enterprise System.

You don't need to answer my questions, I already know how you think and I don't want to hear more of your socialistic views of government intervention, control and ownership.

By the way, I have never been in a Hooters.

It's the "charitable health care that almost every hospital has available" that is one of the primary causes of the financial crisis in the industry. It's BECAUSE hospitals can't turn away uninsured people in their emergency rooms that their costs continue to go up, and thus your and my rates continue to go up with them. That's the whole point of working towards universal coverage. Just as the cost of uninsured motorists drives up the cost of everyone's auto insurance.

And it has nothing to do with socialism, as you know. It has to do with simple economics and basic human decency.

And actually, I've never been in a Hooters either. Tell you what - if we both promise to put politics aside for a few hours, maybe we can do a "joint investigation" and report back to our respective camps. First round's on me. :)

[No, I'm not crazy. Just feeling a little Christmas spirit LOL.]

it's more like socialized medicine and we don't need it

You stay classy, Chamber of Commerce.

Hot Dawg! Where do I get one of those?! ( I just go there for the wings, of course)

yepper sign me up

this is soooooooo conservative , the stench is overwhelming

Stench? Only because your head is up your....

If you notice, the survey is on a 3rd party site that tries to get you to sign up for all kinds of emails. It's not USCC specific.

Ok....this isn't even on the USCC website! It's on a 3rd party website that lists dozens of other things to sign up for in exchange for doing the survey!
In the "survey", you can also sign up or opt in for info on discount travel, colleges, etc.



Grassroots campaigns include getting your message out. When the USCC signed up with this company to promote their newsletter(along with others), I seriously doubt they specified Hooters as the incentive to completing the survey. By the way....it's not even the USCC's survey!

Quit trying to make something out of nothing!

From TalkingPoints:

"The Chamber contracts with a PR firm to handle the campaign, which then sub-contracts with an online marketing firm that handles the process of actually signing people up for the Chamber's campaign, an industry source explained. The Hooters card is the draw. Blinking pop-up ads and web pages offer readers the card in return for entering their names and personal information, and filling out a survey asking if they want to sign up for various offers. In this case, those offers range from agreeing to receive information about getting your college degree online, to signing up for the Chamber's emails. (You can also click 'no' not to sign up for each offer, and still get the Hooters card. But chances are you'll sign up for a few.)"

Quit trying to make nothing out of something!

Exactly as I stated! Your blog makes it sound like it's specific to the USCC. And it's not the USCC using Hooters as the incentive, it's the marketing firm.

You really should check out that college ad.

Ah, the blind are so blind...... Listen closely.... the Chamber of Commerce sponsored this. They "laundered" it so that people like you can pretend that it was not the Chamber that was engaging in this lascivious behavior. The Chamber HIRED a firm to do their dirty work so that their name could not be directly linked to the ads and thus the deniers, like you, could pretend they weren't involved.

God you do get pathetic after a while.

And coming from someone who obviously found High School too oppressive to deal with, your other comments warrant no further response.

"lascivious behavior"

Like PAYING senators for their votes on health care? Like they did in bribing Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu with $300 million dollars? JUST FOR DEBATE CLOTURE! That's not even to vote for or against the damned bill!

Her words... "I am not going to be defensive," "And it's not a $100 million fix. It's a $300 million fix.

By the way, I have a Masters Degree in Commercial Art. Unlike you, who has a BS degree in liberal arts. We all know what the BS stands for. *lol*
