Wow. Someone spent a lot of time making a big, colorful, confusing poster - pics
Edited on Sat Nov-07-09 01:06 PM by Kadie
Now if they could just put that effort into something productive...


House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, refers to a large poster as he speaks at a news conference on pending health care legislation on Capitol Hill in Washington, Saturday, Nov. 7, 2009.

Yes, I am talking to you,


House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, points to a poster as he speaks at a news conference on pending health care legislation as Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, R-Mich. , left, listens on Capitol Hill in Washington, Saturday, Nov. 7, 2009.

and you too.

52. All lined up nice and neat and orderly
it's to confuse the lies and disinformation.

2. That's just mind boggling -- How NOT to explain your message clearly and concisely. nt

The whole POINT was to draw something like that and say that this represents the bureaucracy of
the Democratic plan.

I'm sure they drew the layout first and filled in the bubbles later.

29. Guess it would have helped if I actually read the explanation and followed
the link. :blush: I guess I just WANTED this to be the Reps' plan. :evilgrin:

Although I'm sure, as you said, they drew the layout utilizing every inch of space possible THEN entered the info, it's probably not too far off the mark. Everything that comes out of Congress is soooooo convoluted. They can be as transparent as they want, our brains turn to jello trying to follow it all.

Okay. Now I'll go and read this. Thanks for pointing that out to me before I sent it to all my friends screeching that this was the Reps plan. :hi:

15. I'm sure they had that in mind, when designing their prop.
Notice the bright unattractive contrasts and lines to daze you into their spell... Now they are practicing Voo Doo medicine on people for Health Care.

Yet these jack offs didn't say a word about anything in the Bush years.

40. MY EYES! Is this guy for real?
On his message board, he talks about how he hates male homosexuals but loves female homosexuals. He then gives some rambling nonsense about how being a lesbian isn't against the bible.

I could actually see some of the tea baggers actually thinking this way.

it can be found in a box of Crayolas. No technology on Earth can match that hue.

21. No No No...
The point of this poster is to show what a fucked up mess public health will be. You are NOT supposed to understand anything on this poster - you are supposed to be scared shitless by it. You are supposed to think about government's inability to manage anything easily. You are supposed to think about the Department of Redundancy Department and $5000 hammers. You are supposed to think government is your enemy.

That is all...

33. +1 -- how is this lost on everyone in this thread?
They want to portray the "Pelosi" plan as a bureaucratic hell, rather than the current "try to get an appointment, try to get treatment, try to pay for it" program.

34. I'd bet real money that this bozo does not even understand
what his stupid poster is trying to tell everyone. The stupid posters, pie charts, graphs and other point-to-it propaganda cost a ton of money. Some underling has the job of making these. Bet that person doesn't know what it means either.

Grrr. I can't stand Boehner.

35. I know I know who made it
The gave Palin and Bachmann magic markers and this is what they came up..colors colors colors.

What is so sickening is the news commentators who interview these creeps. No one has asked them, "If you have such good ideas for health care, why didn't republicans pass one when they were in control of congress? Which the last time I looked was from 1994 til 2007".

Edited on Sat Nov-07-09 05:33 PM by Vehl
Posters are supposed to be clear, concise..and to the the point.

This poster has no uniform formatting at all!. seems like some 3 year old pulled some boxes and circles together and dumped em on a board....verbal diarrhea
