[imjeffrey88]

Republicans suck!!!!!

[quizerry]

I say shut done the Government forever.

[edster2003]

@quizerry haha

[MikeandSara88]

Eric Canter is a dickhead.

[Panchee123]

THis President is a joke, he is a non leader and a hack. And these guys are gonna run healthcare?LOL

[wowamonn]

@Panchee123 Where in the New Healthcare bill did it say the Govenement was gonna run a new Healthcare program? Because I thought that folks still would have to buy Private Health Insurance? Only that it is mandated and the government would provide limited help via Mediaid ETC.

[Panchee123]

@wowamonn mandated.....and you still put faith in these lackeys. Keep drinking

[wowamonn]

@Panchee123 I dont have faith in anything just expectations. I guess is like putting on a seat belt and going the speed limit in a car that is covered by car Insurance?

[quizerry]

@wowamonn The HC bill has 34 new government agencies that will run several different new programs. Subsidized programs with insurance companies and another health department a statistic department to study who gets help and a added program to medicaid. IRS will need 35,000 new agent to collect all the money from those who don't have health care. Medicare/medicaid is broke yet we are going to be adding 11 million to medicaid and appx 20 million on a subsidized program like medicare advantage.

[wowamonn]

@quizerry Please provide the source for the information because this sounds intresting?

[Panchee123]

yeah, it's the Tea Party causing the problems. You sir are an idiot

[veryn]

The debt was caused by conservati­ves who passed temporary tax cuts for everyone while the nation was at war.

They ran up the debt because they didn't fund those wars.

Now the interest on that is astronomic­al.

Then they deregulate­d everything and Wall Street banksters and corps robbed us all, and collapsed the economy.

They violated our civil liberties with the Patriot act, and use them to spy on Americans and incarcerat­e them more than any nation in the world.

[uyd]

Lies lies lies and more lies= Republican politics. If the country is broke why are the Republiars not agreeing to do away with the tax cuts for billionaires and corporations which are costing the U.S. Treasury 700 billion a year. Why no cuts to the defense budget? Cantor and all Republicans are liars!!

[demmmmm1]

Today’s Republican party is pure evil.

Democrats have put MORE cuts on the table than Paul Ryan and Boehner wanted in their FIRST proposal. Democrats have MORE than compromised. Problem is - Republicans have chosen to eviscerate all things good and have no problem with a shut down. Heck. Some of ‘em CAMPAIGNED on it, for God’s sake.

VOTE DEMOCRAT 2012

[passionitliberal]

@demmmmm1 I know but I'm worried about what is gonna happen. Do you have any idea I mean Obama or the democrats don't stand up to them. It seems like this country is headed towards 3rd World status. Blame the oppressed, and the most vulnerable. Meanwhile let the rich and the corps get away with everything and bow down to them. It is scary.....

[demmmmm1]

@passionitliberal Yeah. It’s a tough battle. Our competition includes the wealthiest people on the planet. But many Democrats are standing up. Look at what happened in Wisconsin. Recall elections are gonna happen there.

Our Dems in Congress are standing up against Repub efforts to destroy the place with their insertion of radical ideological crap into spending bills. It’s gonna be a tough one, but more people are seeing how damaging right-wing zealots can be and who they really stand for.

[lambdaofbacon]

@demmmmm1

Ok. Dems had an entire year of Dem controlled house and senate to pass a budget. AND DIDN'T!!! Standing up against what? They can't even do their job without a real Repub opposition. Oh and that was for the Oct deadline. Then they had till January to pass a budget and didn't.

And what radical ideological crap? You mean like don't ask don't tell in a defense spending bill? Or cutting 44 billion from a 3400 billion budget? Is that too radical for you? Trying to get a decent budget?

[lambdaofbacon]

@demmmmm1

Democrats are pure lazy bums who can't do their job.

A year to write a budget without real Repub opposition. AND NOTHING! Then from Oct to Jan. NOTHING! Now you are saying 44 billion out of a 3400 billion budget is eviscerating? I think you are just addicted to spending way more than you make.

[demmmmm1]

@lambdaofbacon Uh...Republicans opposed EVERYTHING Democrats tried to do. Everything, including health care for our 911 heroes.

And “evisceration” we’re talking about is not about the numbers. It’s about the WHAT they want to cut. Keep tax cuts for the rich, keep oil company subsidies, but destroy Planned Parenthood (even though they don’t use federal funds for abortion services). Gutting the EPA is hardly good for the country. But, somehow, deregulating everything for the Koch’s...is?

[phantasmbunny]

The cheering and clapping and booing on either side is ridiculous. The House really shouldn't be a bloody panto.

[JImmy4336]

this is a disgrace, apparently we don't have a congress that can stay in order. you just have a shouting match back and forth. It's disgusting.

[perezDeSanFernando]

@JImmy4336

Reminds me of British politics. They have this parliamentary session called Prime Minister's Questions, which gets very... heated... at times.

[LittleValo]

Damn it! Where's the rest? Eric Cantor is GOD! lol! JK.

[uTubeismyTivo]

gtfo republicans

[sk84food923]

Isn't Steny Hoyer the Minority Whip?

[bkiser10]

Um, how about the whole thing?

[HavingfunEnjoylife]

Who was in the oval office when America economy bring down to its knee over 8 years upon 2008 ?

[MuslimObama2012]

@HavingfunEnjoylife Your mom was.

[surfsalem7]

@HavingfunEnjoylife and who ran Congress when the housing bust (which was the start of the downturn) occurred? Democrats....

And just so you know, blaming Bush is becoming less and less effective for the liberal argument. While you could spend all you're time blaming Bush, the Democrats didn't do anything to fix it and still aren't doing anything. So handle it.

[wowamonn]

@surfsalem7 Doesnt the President of US have veto power?

[surfsalem7]

@wowamonn yes, which he didn't use. Yes, I'm talking about Bush. But that does not nor will it ever change the fact that blaming Bush will win the Democrats anything from here on out. Well, except maybe in California.

[wowamonn]

@surfsalem7

or all or Most of the the North East.

[surfsalem7]

@wowamonn pretty much the vast majority of America is sick of the blame Bush tactic, and won't vote for Democrats who use that card. The only thing that concerns me is that the Tea Party just might screw things up.

[wowamonn]

@surfsalem7 I am pretty sure the Tea Party will screw the Nation. In my opinion you cannot cut spending until the Entire budget is on the table including Defense.

[lambdaofbacon]

@wowamonn

How about we cut defense spending in half along with Medicare and Social Security? Then cut unemployment for 18months to 2months and require it be paid back afterwards?

[wowamonn]

@lambdaofbacon I am for cutting Defense and Medicare but not Social Security. Unemployment should remian at 18 Months.

[surfsalem7]

@wowamonn most real fiscal conservatives are putting Defense on the budget cut line. I don't think the Tea Party is aware that they are fighting people that are like them. Which is one of my biggest problem with them, they are the type that seem they have no problem throwing their own people under the bus based on false assumptions and knee-jerk reactions. And as much as Dems suck... I must say, they know how to stick together, must be cuz their so few of them.

[ayotee2]

Republicans are like annoying 2 year olds.

[MuslimObama2012]

@ayotee2 And democrats are what you would find in their diapers.
