Senator Conrad Accuses Republicans

[Smartassawhip]

Throughout his Senate career, Conrad has accepted over two million dollars from the health care establishment ($2,147,200 to be exact), according to the Center for Responsive Politics. This is broken up as $824,837 from the "Insurance" industry, $604,432 from "Health Professionals," $275,766 from "Hospitals/Nursing Homes," $253,450 from "Pharmaceuticals/Health Products," and $188,715 from "Health Services/HMOs."

And this language is? Is this a new Republican scam? OMG it could be lipstickonapig code. Or is this cool international communication? This site is cool by the way. Democrats actually work with foreigners.

[DonkeyofHeaven]

Actually this is the effective difference between Republicans and Democrats an dwhat makes the Republican Party stronger than the Democrats. Republicans have the guts to fillibuster on almost anything while Democrats won't even fillibuster against the war funding.

[anner442]

Um, sorry donkey of Heaven, the Republicans filibuster everything that the Dems or others recommend. They would filibuster your need to got to the toilet if you were against them. They are well organized (better, way better than the Dems.) and if you disagree with them you are going to be filibustered too.  Sorry, if you don't lock step with the party you are out.

[SporadicMovementz]

i fricking hate people who say, "i'm proud to be an american". unless they risked life and limb to get here.

being born here, though?

you're proud of where you fell out of your mother's

vagina? you didn't do anything to get here except emerge from a uterus. big fucking whoop.

[anner442]

I grew up overseas on mil. bases and I would whoop your butt on being an Am. However, I would probably agree with your definition of American. Many idiots take advantage of our system and brag about being so patriotic of their own pathetic countries that never would have educated them without pay past 6th grade. I agree. There are a lot of *&&'ed people that are complete retards because they come here and demand rights that they would NEVER get in their own country. Go BACK? They won't!

[aforesti]

gemini067, you may be thinking for yourself, but that's not very helpful when you're utterly ignorant. The world health organization ranks the US health care system as #37 - it's 3rd world grade. Your saying we got the best health care in the world is based on no data, and at best a minute amount of thinking.

[WhiteHousedotGov]

Ugh! Let's get our troops home!

Click on my name, to see my flagged anti-Bush video.

Powerful.

Hated by censors.

Loved by others.

Leave a comment, to let me know what you think...

[bubukiteefuc]

The Republicans (and their minions on YouTube, it seems) are happy as pigs in shit living in their world where everything is as they want it to be. Reality will be biting them in the ass like a bitch come 2008.

[micsc50]

The economy has never been better. The unemployment rate is lower than ever. The deficit is is rapidly dropping. Stock market is stronger than ever .The congress has done absolutley nothing with democrats in the majority. They have to blame their inability to rule on the republicans. Cindy (moonbat) Sheehan is going to kick that whore Pilosi's ass out of congress because she has done absolutly NOTHING. Whats Wrong DummycRATS?

[ArmchairRevolution]

Trying to stop the obstuctionism from the Republican Party?

Great to hear.

[andotech]

Republicans loathe American soldiers (christians can look up the word 'loathe' in what's called a 'dictionary') and American workers. There is no doubt about it. They are the party of death, disfigurement, greed, and destruction of the Earth. The sooner they are shunned from public discourse, the better off we will all be.

[gohoda]

amen

[gemini067]

andotech, now we have another word for asshole, we will have to add your name to whats called a dictionary or better yet to something called roget's thesaurus.

[andotech]

I'm not sorry for offending religious people. There is no reason to respect someone's religious views anymore than the views of someone who says the world is flat. If you want to tell me that the world is flat, then you are an idiot. The same goes for faith in God. If you need that crutch, you ought to be embarrassed and keep it to yourself. God is not real- it's all in your head. Grow up.

[gemini067]

andotech, your original comment is about republicans,american solidiers and american workers, now your refering to God and religion, what do republicans have to do with God that the democrats or independants don't? belief in God is an individuals right gauranteed by the constitution, and to top it of I still think you are an ASSHOLE.

[andotech]

You think I'm an asshole and you may be right, but I think the reason is probably because I say things which you don't like. If you can, try to deny that republicans are the party of death, war, greed, torture, inequality, intolerance, against the right to health care for all, etc. Republicans think it's ok to abuse the earth and its inhabitants so long as it forwards the success of an individual. I think these principals are bullshit and I will call out anyone who holds them dear.

[gemini067]

andotech,you think like one but that is just my opinion, and we all know opinions are like assholes, we all have one. What party ran the government when we got into WWII, Korea, Vietnam, bombed and sent troops to the former Czechoslovakia, and almost invading Cuba, they were all democrats. It was the republicans that defeated the Soviet Union, without going to war. I was told, that when the republicans were in there was a recession, and when the democrats were in there was a war.

[andotech]

Not even the actions which resulted from the communism paranoia of the last century were as botched and misguided as Bush's war(s) in the middle east. Right now there is an entire generation growing up in Iraq (and its neighboring countries to a large extent) that will know one thing: kill Americans. Meanwhile, its 2007, Americans have substandard health care and education, and good jobs are leaving like never before. Don't get me wrong- I make killer money, but these republicans are fucked!

[gemini067]

your info is biased, we have the best health care in the world, even illegals come here for it, and like the "poor" they pay a nominal fee, if any. Do you know anything about medicaid, SSI, CHIP and federally sponsored health clinics? you must find other places for your info, and compare. They poll people on the street and thier biggest concern is the economy, though they are doing fine. the economy has been the best ever for the last 4 or 5 years. wise up and think for yourself.

[andotech]

I don't have time to educate you about the American reality, but I'll do it anyway just this one time.

Medicaid: disabled, old, or children

SSI: old or disabled people

CHIP: children

If you don't meet the requirements for these programs, you are screwed. Middle class families are screwed. Single adults are screwed. You sound like a member of the last 20%- out of touch and unwilling or unable to comprehend these simple truths. I can't force you to open your eyes and ears and I'm done trying.

[ViaPurifico786]

you are out of your mind if you think the us has better health coverage then Canada....

[gemini067]

okay, I have better health care than most canadians, hows that. if you do not like the health care here, move, better yet just move, period.

[ViaPurifico786]

are you in the middle class category?

and I'm not american... baka....

[gemini067]

I am very sorry you are not American, but then God can only bless the ones he deems worthy. Don't feel too bad there are billions like you in the same predicament and there are some here who are not Americans but want to be, but they pretend and just breathing the air here helps with thier depression.

[ViaPurifico786]

lol... you're actually PROUD to be an american? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHAHAHAHHAHAHH­AHAHAHAHAHAH

*GASP*

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAH­AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH­AAHHAHAHA

[gemini067]

please don't choke remember your not in America and the health service there will make you wait about six months, unless of course you are in America and your back is not dry yet, but not to worry, we take care of everyone at the local ER. I am very proud to be American, say what you will,but who will you call next time you have a drought, natural catastrophe, crop failure, epidemic or god forbid a war.

[ViaPurifico786]

you are the reason why the whole world knows the phrase, "Stupid Americans"

lol... I'm sure not all americans are idiots like you, but you most certainly are one of the "Stupid Americans"

[gemini067]

"stupid americans" "idiots" come on is that all you can say? when you can't think of anything to say you resort to name calling, my grandson could do better. when entering a debate you should at least know a little about the subject before submitting a statement.

[ViaPurifico786]

I could pull up an entire facts sheet and my history essay that I wrote in university, but what would be the point when the person, "debating" is an arrogant prick who thinks that his/her country is something just short of a deity... so sorry, I only "debate" with people that actually have sense to admit their faults and work toward a progressive future, not just say random bull shit about how their country is so great... which it isn't....

[ViaPurifico786]

and if you have a grandson, it must mean you're at least in your middle years, which is a shame because your arguments are that of a high school kid, not to mention your manner of speech... but then again, what can one expect from a supposed 1st world country that has one of the highest illiteracy rates among developed countries....

[gemini067]

We do not decide our birth place, but if it were possible I am sure I know, by the way you degrade America, where you would have been born. I am what you can never be, but then who cares.

[ViaPurifico786]

I'm glad I'm not american... and on that note, I'll put an end to your idiotic bantering... BLOCKED... baka....

[gemini067]

If you are as well educated as you imply then you should know the first thing a loser does when he/she/it fails is name calling, fact sheets are as only accurate as the author, writing essays, we called them compositions in grade school. Universities do not make one intelligent, they try to expand your ability to think, but in more cases than not they do not succeed as I suspect is the case here.

[anner442]

Don't be so bitter, there are plenty of us out there like you that believe in a better world. And remember you can't debate a fool. "A wise man can learn from a fool, yet a fool can learn from no one", bad quote from Confucius...but completely appropriate! Sad though to see so many stupid people in our country when we have so much more rights, opportunities, and freedom of religion, and we negate them all with "hollywood" and stupid governmental figures. It is so sad.

[anner442]

Name calling? "Stupid?" That is a fr more polite way to argue that the Am. system is messed up and wrld relations have deteriorated to the point where Amrcs have no respect in other countries. I grew up over seas and hv never saw the amount of "scorn" and ridicule that we have now over the past few years. People pretend they are Canadian for safety and respect...I am torn, but have done that myself for safety. That is pathetic! That my country is so disrespected because our Pr. is an idiot.

[gemini067]

anner; "Name calling" and then you go on to call our prez. an idiot, you do not have to like Bush, but he is our President, and if that bothers you, leave. Stop pretending to be American, go to Canada, they love American haters, so you should fit right in. America is disrespected because the rest of the world is envious, America is the richest, most powerful country the world has ever seen, but we are also the most charitable and compassionate country in the world.

[anner442]

I grew up on US military bases overseas stupid. You go do that and experience that. You are a retard. I am an AMERICAN...suffered and been there. You have been here...? Go join the military and then bitch about my lack of Americanism..ism...you stupid twat.

[gemini067]

anner; All you liberals have an excuse, "I grew up on military bases overseas", what the hell is that supposed to imply, "suffered and been there", who made you suffer, and been where, everyone has a story, and many expierences, not all good, what do you think makes you different, "go join the military", that does not make you American, Americans do not degrade thier country or call thier Prez. names, they are proud of thier country, and will defend it. Why pretend you are canadian, leave.

[anner442]

We have a lot of Stupid Americans including our President...but that definitely does not mean that all Americans are stupid. Many of our protests were never shown/aired. and that definitely makes us look more stupid.

[gemini067]

anner; You are right about some "Stupid Americans", but you can alleviate the problem a bit if you would leave, we have enough stupid people, who hate thier own country, now. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

[blackjamm]

So the Republicans actually want the congress to basically fail because they're no longer the majority? Well how patriotic.

[distanthowl]

Yes Yes Yes Yes

For God's sake!

Why has it taken so long?

Yes

[themightylex]

that's our government at work folks. Great.
