    You don't have to be computer savvy. There is a phone number to sign up.

    It means you don't even have to know how to turn a computer on to sign up for Obama Care. Just pick up the phone and sign up. He is using not knowing how to use a computer as an excuse for the low sign ups.

    What in the hell does a phone have to do with Reid's comments?

    Clearly he was talking about signing up online. Not sure what the phone thing has to do with anything.

    Harry Reid: Obamacare Enrollment is Low because People are Too Stupid to Know How to Use the Internet


    If you don't know what a phone has to do with it, you can join Harry Reid. Not knowing how to use a computer IS NOT the reason for low sign ups. Not when you can use a phone. Is that getting through to you?

    Ah yes, the snotty comment.

    What is so (*)(*)(*)(*)ing amazing, is that i was addressing the thread topic, not prattling on about telephones. Why do you fleet he need to insult me or attack me because I am not buying into some off topic (*)(*)(*)(*) about telephones? Why? Is it because I rightfully pointed out that Reid never called folks stupid? is it because I am not simply bleating bad talking points?

    Snotty comment? Did you read what you said right before that. "What in the hell does a phone have to do with Reid's." comments? I thought it was quite clear. Not being able to use a computer wasn't the reason for low sign up's when you can just pick up the phone and sign up.

    For (*)(*)(*)(*)s sake, I do not see what a phone has to do with Reid's comments. I have made that expressly clear. It has nothing to do with me. It has nothing to do with what Reid said. if you want to use a phone to sign up for the ACA, go for it. I do not care.

    Bleating excuses for bad behavior by elected officials isnt any better.

    Its rather obvious Reid is senile. He IS one of those stupid people he refers to.

    Give me a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing break.

    I did not excuse jack here. I simply pointed out that Reid's comments were not as they were portrayed.

    You don't see what a phone has to do with Reid's comments? Your kidding me right? Reid is blaming the fact to many people haven't signed up for Obama care because they don't know how to use a computer. I am pointing out that isn't the reason for it because everyone can sign up by just calling in and signing up. I really don't think it's that hard to understand what the phone has to do with it.

    Back to the snotty comments?

    Clearly sat no point in this thread was I discussing the various options of signing up for the ACA. Very clearly.

    The phone nonsense is yours wholly. It has nothing to do with any point I made int his thread. I apologize for inject fact and accuracy into this thread in the form of noting that Reid did not call anyone stupid, nor imply it, but that does not mean I wish to discuss the various ways of getting in contact with people.

    At this point it is clear that your argument is going to be about phones, and when I do not wish to discuss phones, you posts will hurl juvenile insults aver my refusal to engage such trolling. I must kindly ask you to leave me out of the incessant chatter about phones.

    Gee, I guess those of us who heard his comments with our own two ears misunderstood huh?

    We must be too stupid to understand English.

    If that is your self critique then run with it.

    Personally, I think his comments actually seemed accurate and made sense, but at no point did he call anyone stupid.

    What Raid simply said is that education in America is getting worst and people is becoming more ignorant. Only individuals with the luxury of studying in private schools and or hire tutors can have children with capacity to understand the Obamacre online application... the rest, people who went to public schools can't meet the minimum requirements of understanding when applying for Obamacare.

    Reid is actually right, has hit the target...

    Excuse me sir, but I'm not using words that have to be blocked out. I brought up the phone because Reid was blaming the lack of intelligence of using a computer as the reason for the low sign ups. I wasn't trying to be nasty to you. It's just that you couldn't seem to understand what I was talking about using the phone, which I felt I was being very clear and showing Reid was wrong in the reason for low signups. It seems to still go over your head. Lets see if he was calling people stupid.

    You wouldn't mind posting Reid's precise quote, would you? I'd like to see who the stupid ones really are.

    PB, you have had a half hour to look at the quote and answer. But your silence tells me you really didn't want to know the truth. You were only hoping to catch us wrong.

    His 'point' is that he thinks people are stupid. I have listened to these condescending libs for decades. They are all the same.

    People have had six months to sign up. Reid is trying to alibi for the dismal enrollment numbers to-date. As I said, libs always blame the people when their plans and laws are not bearing the fruit they desire. It's because we do not understand and need further guidance and education. That is code for 'we are too stupid' whether you agree or not.

    I disagree.

    Whilst I am no fan of Harry Reid, I must say I think he makes a valid point in this case.

    Given the fiasco of the website roll out, and the simple reality that not everyone may be as computer savvy as you are I, nor have access to computers, I do think he is correct on this one, and that there was no condescension nor derision intended.
