      The truth hurts. Bush 43 hid the cost in supplemental budgets and pres Obama decided to overule that policy, even before his election.

      War kills people, it's serious and it costs money! Health care saves people, people serious need help and healthy people lower costs! Mr. Frank is right to bring up the comparision of the deficit regarding the war. Generations are going to be paying for it and we got nothing out of it! We will receive benifits from health care and healthy lives.

      WTF?

      If these idiots were so in favor of the war, why the flock aren't they over there fighting?

      The war still costs more per year than the projections for a public option in the health care reform legislation..

      "non-partisan" = astroturf.

      The Pentagon doesn't want some of the programs that the Neocons in Congress are supporting.

      I love the applause after Frank asks "On what planet do you spend most of your time?"

      IDEA: get a group together, go to a town hall meeting, and when the hecklers get rowdy, start a chant: Mind-less chant!
      When the hecklers are drown out, stop.

      What the first guy doesn't realize that by doing NOTHING, health care costs will double in 10-15 years.
