Yeah - we started by addressing his challenge that Senators Warner and Webb don't support us.  We've gotten in touch with both Senators' offices and they're not happy that a Republican used their names like that.

Forbes is an idiot with too much pride if he thinks he can drag bigger name politicians in this and actually walk away clean from it.

And yeah - that was an outrageous claim.  He did indeed do some sort of robodial inviting doctors to talk about the health care law.  I happen to know one doctor in the district (Wynne LeGrow) who says he got the call to join the conference the day after the conference call was held.

Maybe Forbes is telling the truth saying that the doctors in the district he talked to hated the law - probably because either the only doctors willing to call him back were Republicans or he willfully left out doctors like Wynne by calling them too late.

This looks like bullshit that could easily be knocked down with a few phone calls. From yesterday's interview with Forbes:

"We literally called every doctor in our district, over a thousand," he said. "I don't know of one who didn't think that this bill is an absolutely terrible piece of legislation. Every doctor over 50 said that they would consider retiring because of this bill, and there is going to be a huge doctor shortage."

Barrett,

Here are some interesting statements made on religion by Randy Forbes' district representative in Emporia, VA last week:

I just uploaded that video to youtube so it may not be ready yet.  In the mean time, you can enjoy Forbes praying for God to tell Congress what to do:
