This is something that everyone knows and has know for years and it’s considered brave to some to stand and point your finger and wave it in the face of the self-established power representatives; the same ones that are supposed to be representing us.
Franken is a comedian [was], but he sure seems to be able to stand on his own and shed light on the lies and corruption that’s in Washington.
And as anyone should know… if you’re going to stand for something; you should really know WHY first.
In a few moments of heated but controlled anger on the Senate floor Monday evening, Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) slammed Sen. John Thune (R-SD) and the GOP for essentially lying about the nature of the Democratic health care bill, suggesting they haven’t read it.
"We are entitled to our own opinions; we’re not entitled to our own facts," Franken said. "Benefits kick in right away."
Thune then took the floor and stressed that "tax increases start 18 days from now" while "spending benefits don’t start till 2014."
Franken got angrier and reclaimed his time. "Spending benefits start right away," he stammered, also rebuffing Thune’s claim that the bill in all pain and no gain in the short-run. It "will prohibit insurance from imposing lifetime limits on benefits starting day one."
"He doesn’t want to hear it," Franken said in a heated voice, while pointing to Thune. "We are entitled to our own opinions; we’re not entitled to our own facts."
