Obese Pennsylvanians To Specter: No Reinforced Chairs or Free-Donut Tuesdays in Obamacare

Arlen Specter has - apparently - invited an all-obese crowd of Pennsylvanians to "discuss" health care reform. The angry and overweight mob came prepared, citing Pharma-issued talking points that the morbidly obese recited like trained seals.

Specter was slow on the draw. One would think that the answer to a person who says, "page 58 of this bill says whatever" would be, "which bill are you talking about? The Senate version or the House version?" But Specter kept his powder dry.

From the looks of the crowd - literally - their biggest fear is that a government plan will center on preventive medicine. That could lead to the government restricting the number of beer-flavored donuts a person would be allowed to consume each day. It might also deny free government money to reinforce furniture, concentrating instead on helping people lose weight. Another downside expressed by the mob was the fear that within a year or so, they would be forced to purchase new wardrobes to accommodate their weight loss...and that would mean shopping at a commie store like Target, rather than their beloved Wal-Mart, which currently doesn't stock pants with a waist under 48" nor dresses under size 16.

But most of all, the mob expressed concern that the things they worked long and hard to earn would be earned by others. Not that anything would be taken away from them, but that others would enjoy the same benefits.

The meeting was finally broken up when Specter announced that the guards had been given the day off at the Krispy Kreme factory a mile away from the town hall, at which point the hall emptied in near-record time.

2. As someone who is overweight...

By society's standards, yet healthy as an ox with abolutely no health problems including blood pressure, cholesterol, joint pains, or any other "obesity related" illnesses, I encourage you to go screw yourself.

This is America, and if I want to eat IHOP pancakes for breakfast, McDonald's cheeseburgers for lunch, and Taco Bell burritos for dinner, that is my right. This bullshit that the government might "help me lose weight" by a fat tax or other policies which will in essence, curb my freedoms, is horseshit.

Furthermore, your condescending attitude towards fat people is disgustion, and again, you can go screw yourself.

Hmmmm.  One wonders what "disgustion" is.

7. As a person who lost 50 lbs 2 years ago, I can say this to you: look in the mirror. The "freedom" you enjoy today to be overweight will bite your health in the ass eventually. That's the statistical truth.

Do yourself a favor and channel that anger into self improvement, and losing weight IS self-improvement, whether you're morbidly overweight or just mildly overweight.

Obesity and overweight conditions are a major expense in our healthcare system. Your individual "freedom" combined with the same "freedom" being exercised by millions of other overweight Americans costs ME money every month in my health care premiums. I'm paying for your "freedom" and I don't like it.

In the meanwhile, you can go **** yourself.

3. There is no Senate version yet. You'd probably be better served educating yourself instead of making fun of people.

6. Well, aren't you a wit?

First of all, I'd like a link. I notice you didn't include one in your little screed.

In the meantime, if this is what Pennsylvania has to offer, I'll stay out. Those who can't wait to bash the fat have no idea what it's like to walk in our shoes every day. Aren't you lucky you won the genetic and metabolic lottery? I'll bet it makes you feel important to bully others, doesn't it?

It's evident to me that there are many here who never matured beyond elementary school. You are one of them. Give yourself a pat on the back!

This bonfire's not doused yet, but I bet it will be.

It's been doused, and quickly.  It was pretty mean-spirited wasn't it?  We've seen their picture threads.

It "WAS" America, you DUmmie, it is now the Communist States of America. You will eat black bread and government cheese when the store has it, get constipated and like it.

DUmmies says, "This is America, and if I want to eat IHOP pancakes, McDonald's cheeseburgers, and Taco Bell burritos for every meal, that is my right"

I think thats more better lol

I love it when they turn on each other....good stuff.

DUmmies were getting diet advice from a 480-pounder the other day.
