    These idiots continue to fucking astound me, we should vote conservatives in and repeal this peace of shit!

  • What a bitch.

  • Under the new health care bill - did you know that all real estate transactions are subject to a 3.8% Sales Tax?

    You can thank Nancy, Harry & Barack and your local Democrat Congressman for this one. (Or should it F U ? )

    If you sell your $400,000 home, this will be a $15,200 tax.

  • Ron Paul 2012

  • I wonder if she beats her husband

    ISN'T THAT HOW YOU RUN THINGS RIGHT?

    WHAT YOU SAY IT SOUNDS LIKE BLACKMAIL??? WHY ?? I TOLD YOU IT IS A REALLY NICE CAR AND YOU MUST HAVE IT..

  • Nancy you are an amazing women.

  • The state of Virginia and the state of Idaho have passed laws that say it is a citizen of the state to decide if they want health insurance or not, regardless of federal programs, regulations or mandates. Virginia and Idaho just told Obama, Pelosi and Reid to fuck off.

  • She doesn't even know what shes talking about. stuttering and mumbling words. shave her head and you'll see 2 thorns atop! (666)

  • @timkaro Well ! Guess what ? The McCain and Palin clown team are together again....I fee so, so Sorry for you guys..LOL..!!! McCain-Palin in 2012...!! Yeah..!!

  • You commie bi**h. You think the states will follow this piece of crap? You'll see more states not following along than you think. What are you going to do then? Stupid ass democraps.

  • Law of the Land???She says that like she thinks she is a queen. The states don't have a choice. We know the people don't have a choice. The founding fathers would be ashamed.

  • The Law of the Land? She says that like she thinks she is a Queen.

  • Carol: She is your Queen...!

  • the Law of the land

  • I'm just glad that laws are made to be repealed.

  • I guess the new mantra is "to Hell with what the voters want".

  • Just how much more of this nonsense is the American taxpayer going to take? This is a complete sham!! The only ones who are going to benefit are folks who do not pay a dime in taxes and the insurance companies who will continue to rape the ones of us paying our premiums and taxes. Those of us who pay our taxes and pay for our health care are going to see our services decrease, our insurance premiums increase and taxes increase. All to care for 15% of our population who do not pay taxes!!!

  • sure right a very few points ,what a complete moran

  • the fact is ,you are slamming down an agenda of crap ,that will destroy health care for all .

  • yes what you are doing ?get real nancy

  • yes this is nancy ,listen and laugh .If this rich out of touch moran slams this down without a vote it will not be funny ,while I'm standing in line asking for a doctor .

  • the problem here that everyone is overlooking is

    the fact that they are calling it " Health Care Reform "

    when they are actually NOT reforming it but taking it over.

    reform would be to make a few changes here or there and to regulate

    what the insurance companies do and say and how they perform.

    kind of like when they started "reforming" home insurance companies.

    they didnt take them over they just regulated them.

  • The bill will be historic! HISTORIC IN CHANGING AMERICA!

    NOT FOR THE BETTER

  • he spent way money like it was going out of style, took too much executive power, and lost sight of why he got elected in the first place. I know you are thinking I am a Dem, but I'm not. I'm a conservative Libertarian, if I was a senator, I would caucus with the Republicans. I am just saying keep your eyes on both parties, because if the Republicans aren't careful, they will disenchant the people just like the Dems are now if they go back to their old ways.

  • Apparently the American people do not want this health care bill to pass. There have been enough Tea Parties, demonstrations, marches to prove that, and they are still continuing. So why are is Obama and the Dems. so hell bent on passing it. Well thats because the Government wants to tell you what to do with your money. They want you to pay more taxes and more on taxes. They want you to pay for things that we don't need and what they want. Keep fighting for your own health care or you will pay.

  • Yeah, I completely agree with you. But there are Republicans that are riding on the backs of the tea party movement, who are not real conservatives. It's easy to stand on the sidelines because it's the popular stance on health care to oppose it. The Dems right now aren't accomplishing crap, and perhaps thats a good thing, but there are bad Republicans too. It's time, in my opinion, to not just take back the majority, but also take back the Republican party. Bush was not a good conservative,

  • Juan Mccain is a rino.

    Vote JD Hayworth

  • test

  • test

  • pssst hey Mossad, here is your next target! Dont forget Osama too!

  • We are way overdue for health care reform. However, the Obama legislation,--a real rush job--doesn't cut it and will have disasterous consequences, many of them unintended. The Republicans should be ashamed of themselves for being merely obstructionist and not coming up with a better plan.

  • I don't buy that. The R's know that the US Govt. who can't run ANYTHING shouldn't be taking over 1 sixth of America's economy. Either way, what's really sad to me now is that so many D's are being "bought off" right now (bribery) to get the votes. Hey... If you really think that the way to reform is for Obama and Govt.. to take over... wellll I just disagree...

  • @vincet2009 republicans do have a better plan and are not being obstructionist. the american people are being obstructionist. your boy obama however must have ear plugs in or hes just that dumb because hes not listening to the republicans or the american people...

  • Nancy Pelosi who was elected to get America out of Iraq but upon getting elected instead quietly agreed to strip out of the $100 billion funding bill for Iraq a provision that would have required President Bush to seek congressional approval before launching any new war on Iran.

    Because AIPAC and Israel asked her to.

    She is a traitor

  • Don't spend too much time on Republicans and Democrats; Bush was more progressive than conservative, just look at his actions. Focus on their actions. Forget this Dem/ Rep crap. What it boils down to is learning who in D.C. is focused on growing government. And don't let the Republicans sitting on the sidelines saying they're opposed to health care fool you; they know they have a great chance in November, learn who they are. If they have been in there long enough to be corrupted, kick em out.

  • @backtowethepeople Here we go again, its ok, I'll keep saying it..Could've , would've, should've, when is the left going to stop finger pointing...Who gives a shit how we got here, We are HERE, NOW..And the Dems have done very little to get us out! The only thing the Dems. have proven is that they every bit as worthless then anyone who has taken office and has taken this country in the wrong direction. We are deeper in debt, and 360,000 peopel are still out of work. Screw health care reform.

  • W was mor conservative then progressive.

    THX W FOR KEEPING US SAFE

  • I was not totally clear on what I was saying. W was thrown a curve ball by 9-11, and did do a lot to keep us safe. And I admire him for sticking to his faith even though he came under fire for it. I should been more clear. FISCALLY when the first proposed bailout (by the as of 2006 Dem majority) came across his desk, he should have been more careful; instead he spent like a wild man. I don't disagree with the premise of the patriot act, but he used a lot of executive power. That was my point.thx

  • Look I'm conservative. I understand our matra is, fiscal responsibility, less government, strong military.

    Many I included loved Reagan, yet he was not fiscal responsible.

    He ran huge deficits, he had to though to build the military back up after Carter slashed it.

    He did help in bankrupting the Soviet Union.

    W wasen't fiscal responsible either.

    2 things both deficits blew up, when the democrats controlled both houses.

    Most important things happened under both great men.

  • They both kept us safe.

    God bless Reagan, and W

  • Yea, it will be historic alright, a historic disaster for true American people! Progressive liberals don't want jobs, because they want to live under a welfare state. True Americans know what's at stake with this government run health care bill. Health care is not a right, it's a privilege! If you say "health care is a right", then you're giving up your responsibility as a human to take care of yourself and forcing others to give up their rights to accommodate your right. That's called slavery!

  • You know what I love. Us Conservative Republicans have one media outlet that caters to our Ideology and yes thats FOX. And you guys, with ABC, CBS, CNBC, CNN, TNN, and every other single liberal network, can not handle the power that Fox has. You know why we are the number one news outlets in the world, yes in the world, is because we do not stack the decks. They give equal time to each ideological opinion. And your outlet's... give me a break, and let me get you a binky.

  • They want to destroy the United States with these entitlement programs!

  • @BeantownJim entitlement? what? could you explain? because i see no "entitlement" in the bill

  • a perfect propaganda minister in female (sexless) GARBS.

  • anyone who comments that they defend marxist obama and the democrats spending our way to economic disaster and collapse because the other corporate sell outs ( republicans) did it under hitler bush are either idiots or not true americans. get your heads out of your asses because the dollar will collapse soon. the social security ponzi scheme is bankrupt as of this week, and iou's are now being used to pay benefits to retirees. youngen's out there. don't expect to ever be paid social security.

  • ...okay, so your solution would be to let the banks collapse, and take with them every cent we have in them...and to let healthcare costs skyrocket to the equivalent of a mortgage payment? What IS you're solution? ...oh let me guess, laissez-faire, anarchy

  • ...but they're both interrelated problems.

  • Nancy Pelosi who was elected to get America out of Iraq but upon getting elected instead quietly agreed to strip out of the $100 billion funding bill for Iraq a provision that would have required President Bush to seek congressional approval before launching any new war on Iran.

    Because AIPAC and Israel asked her to.

    She is a traitor

  • 34 Attorney Generals in as many states are already gearing up to challenge the constitutionality of the mandate which forces everyone to buy healthcare insurance in lieu of jail time.

    When the Supreme Court rules against this mandate [and they will] and the major source of the funding planned to pay for this scam suddenly vanishes, the whole thing will fold up like a house of cards. Everyones premiums will then skyrocket thru the roof to compensate for their failure.

  • ...in lieu of jailtime? Where did you hear this little factoid? From limbaugh? People are forced to pay-into social security (which is basically a big insurance plan for disability, and retirement) Where is your constitutional challenge for that? Wake up---insurance premiums are already through the roof!

  • Where have you been? It's been all over the news and YT has videos where Pelosi is justifying this measure. Do some research!

    People keep complaining about rising healthcare cost, but they fail to realise that 3/4's of this increase iis directly attributable to unpaid medical expenses incured by illegal aliens. they don't pay and the cost is passed on directly to us thru increased medical cost and higher premiums. That's why we have a 30% increase in California, but it applies everywhere.

  • I never thought I'd ever see such an assault on our democratic, constitutional process. Democrats make me sick...and very angry. They will pay dearly for this at the polls in November and for decades to come.

  • This is an unconstitutional bill that will enslave us. Additionally, this so called health care reform is for the masses NOT for the people in congress. If this reform is so great then why isn't congress partaking in it as well? Answer that question Pelosi!!!

    Republicans and Democrats do not care about you! Both parties are corrupt and want to control the people. This is a power grab.

  • paranoid ramblings. part of the bill ensures that people can buy into the same healthcare plan as congress has (with the group discount instead of individual) get your facts straight. yes, both parties are corrupt.

  • Lawmakers and their family members will get preferential treatment in federal medical institutions and have ready access to their own general practitioners and specialists.

    They will not have to wait weeks or months for tests and procedures as the rest of the public will. In Canada, patients have to wait many hours before they can be seen a doctor. Surgical patients have waiting lists of months. Cardiac surgeons have reported that their patients have died due to these long waiting lists.

  • In addition, these elected officials have their health care subsidized by taxpayers. Dont be fooled.

  • pelosi is an idiot, she does not know what is in this bill, she said it herself. the dems came into office about 3 yrs ago, and did nothing but spend the taxpayers money, and bush did nothing about it, now the dems have not fixed anything since coming into office, they are making things worse. both parties are totally useless, but the dems are worse

  • The uprising has already been brewing. This will fuel it to a much higher intensity. This is as unconstitutional as it gets, totally against our founders principles and intentions.

  • The democrats were right there with the republicans voting to spend more and more on the "war on terror". Pelosi promised to stop the war, how is that going?

  • The Republicans controlled both houses, that the democrats fell in line is irrelevant. The republicans charged everything on a credit card, refusing to put the war in the budget. Who bankrupted this country? Pelosi has no power to stop the war, unless she cuts spending for the troops and leaves them in harms way. Claiming Pelosi hasn't ended the war is simplistic scapegoating.

  • Of course, it depends on which conservatives you are talking about. Many principled fiscal conservatives have repudiated the Republican congressmen and senators who betrayed the voters with deficit spending, so they're still holding the high ground and are just being consistent when they criticize democrats for deficit spending, too.

  • Comment removed

  • Now that the Democrats are really going to pass health care, there's a stinky smell it the air. It's the smell of repukes fouling their pants!

  • it will be historic because if passed it will cause a civil uprising.. you'd better have underground bunkers to go to you Traitors, and hope we don't find your air intake ducts..

  • ooh I'm so scared!

  • Every time she starts lying, she starts in with those crazy hand gestures. She looks like she is trying to conduct an orchestra or something. Creepy plastic bitch.

  • Nancy Pelosi who was elected to get America out of Iraq but upon getting elected instead quietly agreed to strip out of the $100 billion funding bill for Iraq a provision that would have required President Bush to seek congressional approval before launching any new war on Iran.

    She is a traitor

  • Man, I have never seen our Flag, so stained as to see this Bitch's face in front of it! There should be a law to protect our Flag from desecration!!!!

  • Pelosi and her ilk have lost it. They're just plain comical at this point. They will fail.

  • This is pathetic! If democrats act like republicans whats the difference? The cave to republican pressure on every issue. You vote btw the two and than we have bipartisnship lol. wtf kind of shit is this! You vote one party in and they go and make deals with the party the people removed. The only difference btw parties is that the republican party is much more hostile than that of the Democrat gang. The beat the shit of the democrats to get there objectives across. And all they other party can

  • You cannot say you love your country and hate your gov't. It doesn't make sense. So you don't agree with this healthcare. MAKE SOMETHING NEW. You damned republican conservative Tea Party Evangelical psychos! Do something about it beside sitting around saying no! JESUS! U want progress but you do nothing but fight bak instead of adding new ideas. YOUR SO STUPID ALL OF U GOD!

  • Brilliant ~

  • shes so gorgeous

  • Yeah, like a Cobra!

  • It will be historic alright, when America is a 3rd world country. But Pelosi and Obama know that because thats what they are trying to do.

  • State sovereignty will prevail Each state will tell the US federal govt to go to blazes And at the present count it's over 32 states that have claimes state sovereignty! Stick that in your socialist pipes and smoke it!

  • Comment removed

  • This bill will only fill the coffers of insurance conglomerate and they will still deny all coverage. All this does is force poor working class Americans to buy shitty insurance that they can't afford and that will cover nothing. I don't know where you posters get your info but it's bogus. It's not free coverage it's just another looting job by the big corporations to continue to loot the people they could not touch before this bill. Get it yet? It is to smash the middle class.

  • The bitch said it herself, "once we pass it in the house, it doesn't matter what the senate says, it will be the law of the land."

    The state of Va. did right by passing a state law saying that any citizen living in the state of Va. can decide wether he or she wants healthcare, regardless of federal regulations or federal laws.

    The house would not have to have a reconciliation about Nebraska if the Dems. hadn't paid bribed Nelson to begin with.

  • Nancy Pelosi who was elected to get America out of Iraq but upon getting elected instead quietly agreed to strip out of the $100 billion funding bill for Iraq a provision that would have required President Bush to seek congressional approval before launching any new war on Iran.

    Because AIPAC and Israel asked her to.

    She is a traitor

  • she and Dems were also elected to arrest Bush for war crimes.. we've been taken, folks..

  • fuck the goverment.. WE ARE IN DEBT UP TO OUR ASS AND WE CONTINUE TO SPEND! no health care! period save s.s.i first

  • And Jesus is coming back as well..it doesn't matter what anti-Christian bigots in gov't right now want either. God has already won..everybody knows that this healthcare "reform" is nothing more than an agenda...sure we want reform but not Obamacare. Doesn't matter tho...if the gov't thinks it is "god" then by all means let it face the True Living God of the Bible...

  • @jwv651, that is unconstitutional and criminal as well.

    They will pay for it by never having a Democratic majority again.

  • I want Govt to downsize, so the problems of the American people can downsize. Also I want police to do their job and arrest these criminals.. Better yet use their freshly reinstated Patriot Act and hold them indefinitely for terrorizing us with more of their special interest "deals".

  • if they passs this it will destroy the DNC for the next 30 years!

  • we need to get this lady out of there. she is going to f**k up this country more then what it is now. instead of changing the whole thing .. lets fix whats wrong with it and move on. duhh

  • Look health insurance is high because healthcare cost are high and rising. Even if you shift premiums from private to Gov. You still have high cost care and it is still rising. This bill gives $338 billion of you tax dollars to insurance companies to subsidize the exchange. It is cost shifting premiums but does nothing to lower actual healthcare cost. Worse this bill forces every citizen into a contract w/ private insurance or gov to buy a product or service they may not want or need.

  • What's the matter with subsidie, I'd rather have my tax dollars spent on us than Bush Co and their 40 friggin companies sucking up our tax dollars in the Middle East. And it will control costs. Didn't you hear the part about keeping the insurance companies from these rate hikes? Ya know - we've got more important things to worry about. Take a look at that psycho McCain's new police-state S 3081 bill. No trial for Americans. Lock you up forever without charge. Don't need proof. What Constitution

  • What is wrong with subsidies? It is your money. Right now if we had to pay our debt off they would have to raise taxes 230%. We are broke. The bigger the Government gets the stag net the economy stays. We are already headed for high taxes and inflation. Our unemployment rate is not going to come down any time soon. We can't afford another entitlement program that will break the middle class. We need reform not an expansion of our failed system.

  • Let me ask ya something, do you think there's no cost to doing nothing? What is the cost over the next decade to see people in the ER? What is the cost going to be to our Government if we leave this corrupt Medicare system the way it is? I think you'll find those subsidies doing a lot less damage than doing nothing. This reform is supposed to save us money, not the other way around. And I don't want to hear the right-wings bullshit projections. This bill can be tweaked along the way if need be.

  • I think we need reform in way of fixing the broken system not expanding it. You do know Gov. already sets the prices for 1/2 the healthcare sector and controls production and consumption thru regulations and mandates that reduce choice and competition and drive prices up.Government restricts many aspect in healthcare that a real free market would drive down cost. The Government side is broke so the private side in many cases covers the shortages of medicare/medicaid hospital cost. We can fix it

  • I guess they think we're stupid. Ya know - I don't think this is Obama. I think Obama is left accepting table scraps because he can't get the votes. He may be the President, but he's not calling the shots.

  • The problem is the Congress is bought and paid for by the healthcare industry and the lawyers. So they will never ever do what is best for the people. The only way would be to get a private non partisan commission of Doctors, business, economist and others to write a bill that bill benefit the people and lower cost even if it hurts the pockets of politicians and their lobbyist. Nothing will get done unless we get rid of lobbyist. That is a sad fact. Giving the Gov more power is wasteful.

  • I agree, 100% This is half-ass reform. But it's the best we'll get out of this (like you said) bought and paid for congress. I sure do get a kick out of watching those Republicans talk about the free market while keeping their largest campaign donors in the money. And I loved watching the Democrats protect their drug company pals. We can't have drugs from countries with safety standards as high as ours, but the drug Co's are allowed to poison us with their cheap shit from China to make a killing

  • ugh she's so fake.

    call her Dr Death

  • she reminds me of the alien leader in "mars attacks" 300 years from now, her preserved, botoxed head will still be cranking out ideas to take over the world..

  • hey take it easy on the Dems., 49% of the people in the U,S. have a below average I.Q......they need spokes people too....now theres the love

  • She is such an idiot. There's something seriously wrong when they feel they know better than what the people actually want. Even if you want government run/regulated healthcare, most of you know this is not anything like what you wanted.

    I hope people finally wake up and stop electing these idiots to office that try to get everyone 'free' stuff.

  • HISTORIC in the sense that our elected government goes against the will of the people!

  • couldn't of said it better myself....

    But maybe instead of historic.....tragic????

  • This is another example of the GLOBAL RULING ELITE going ahead with their socialist agenda without listening to WE THE PEOPLE. We all want healthcare reform... BUT WE DO NOT WANT GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE. No more Massive GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES!

  • @btrask3 Right, we should continue to let the healthcare insurance companies run the show like Lehman Brothers ran Wall Street. Great idea.

  • Inc co. lobby congress to pass legislation that benefit them and the politicians at consumers expense. However Insurance goes up because healthcare goes up. Insurance profits aren't huge and stay close to the same % each year. This bill bails out insurance with $338 billion (of your money) in subsidies to set up an exchange for 7% who can't afford insurance. This bill does nothing to deal with why HC cost are so high and rising. It is not reform and will cost you more.

  • @quizerry I don't like the bill as it is at all. As far as healthcare insurance costs, the CEO's make massive sums, while denying care. The simple solution would have been a public option/ medicare buy in/ drug price negotiations/ import cheaper drugs. Any or all of those options are doable, but the Government doesn't give two shits about the people, Dem or Repub.

  • Medicare is broke. Gov already sets the prices for 1/2 the HC sector directly and the other 1/2 indirectly. They control production and consumption thru regulations. They have done a lousy job of keeping down cost. 50% of Dr. don't take medicaid and 30% won't take new medicare patients. More and more hospitals won't take medicare. Very few take medicaid. Reimbursement rates from Gov. are in below actuall cost. Those loses are shifted to the private sector. The system is broke

  • you summed it up perfectly....the government already has fucked up healthcare enough with its interference..itll be much worse with them running it all...and people need to stop comparing us to canada and britain....the number of people here is far greater to manage than they are....

  • and?! whats that got to do with anything? last time I checked we're in debt more than they are. Hell even China is doin plans like this and their approaching us FAST financially.

  • This bill does Nothing to fix the problems of high cost healthcare. It just expands our failed system and will cause even higher premiums and taxes. All to cover 7% of the population. And give government more power to screw it up worse. There is NOTHING in it that will lower cost.

  • @quizerry Didn't say there was, but the Gov certainly could help the problem in a big way simply by allowing Medicare buy-in, for example. It's called competition. You seem to think healthcare insurers aren't scalping the public. That's laughable.

  • Medicare reimbursement rates for many procedures are below actual hospital cost. So that cost is shifted to higher prices for the private side. Even if you shift premiums from private to government you still have high actual care cost that are rising. This bill does nothing to cut actual healthcare cost. Even with the private side paying to cover loses in medicare , medicare is broke.

  • See thats where the mistake lies. One out of three Americans under 65 were without health insurance at some point during 2007. During 2008 Nearly three out of four uninsured Americans were without health insurance for at least six months.

    Almost two-thirds were uninsured for nine months or more.

    Four out of five of the uninsured were in working families.

    Thats a whole lotta folk. They don't go to the Drs... for check ups and prevention so when they do, we pay for it. But u like that right

  • No I don't, but the only way to cut cost of healthcare is to cut consumers spending on it and to create free market competition. We have a private market for 1/2 our system but private isn't a free market when Government calls all the shots. Sense Gov. got a heavy hand in healthcare cost have risen above inflation.

  • See that the problem. GOVT DOESN"T HAVE A HEAVY HAND! Dude read the news, do ur homework. Insurance companies run shit, and its PRIVATIZED> This is YOUR capitolist country as it is! you want to stay capitolist and free market, be my guest... we'll collapse on ourselves... I'll tell ya that much. So you get ur ass up and stop staying stupidness- cause YOUR SYSTEM IS FAILING. you don't believe me- look around. You ppl say nothing changed..well then that means ur old system is there and still sucks

  • Hey toolbox......the last time I checked Lehman Bros was a Financial Co and not a health insurance carrier.

    Go back to your liberal jerk off playbook and blame George Bush for something.

  • @JoeAverage86 Last time I checked, Lehman Brothers went under and took a lot of innocent people with it due to LACK OF REGULATION, ie: lack of effective Government.. If you can't follow the conversation, keep your mouth shut,.

  • Well, this is certainly not the country I once knew. The Fed is taking away all of our rights, and leading us to Facism and Socialism. Reconciliaiton? Because one side did it does not make the right for the other side to do it. We are no longer represented, and this health care bill is proof that Dems are taking us down the road to financial disaster.

  • There will be blood over this

  • U mad? faggot?

  • Yes, I'm mad. Why the unnecessary insult? You work for the media or in the White House?

  • No we're taking out Republicans to shoot it down. The reason being is that Repubs, don't care about small ppl, they care about big money! and that's there perogative! But you can't expect ppl to sit by an let that fester. Ppl are fighting against that to help ALL the ppl, not just the oned that can afford it.

  • This H-Care bill is just like the nuclear weapon "Genie" once it is out of the bottle, there will be no way to put it back in!

  • This is just a huge bureaucracy spending and taxing bill that does nothing to cut healthcare cost. It will raise premiums and Taxes. It is sad that such a huge bill has no support by one party and the other party has to give sweet heart deals to get votes. The Majority of American does not see this bill as reform. We want reform to find the faults with the system and fix them to lower cost for all. A year of wasting tax payer money for the worst bill ever written in the History of the U.S.A.

  • Sounds like a pretty good plan to me...

  • Good job Pelosi.

  • Does she have swine flu? Since she's such a pig hahahahaaa

  • Reconcile with my cock you whore!

  • Go Pelosi!! Get it done!!!!

  • Scrap the bill and start over!

  • Start over for what - so they can agree and disagree on the same exact shit all over again, wasting another year of taxpayer money. The only reason the Republicans want to start over is so they can build their numbers and kill it all together. You think they actually give a shit about your healthcare? The faster you die, the more money their corporate pals make.

  • The speaker wastes $60,000.00 a week flying to CA to DC weekly, and you want to talk waste? Pelosi's new 757 crew, fuel etc. Al Gore will sell us carbon credits for the Bitch!

  • Who do you think you're talking to here? Like all the assholes on the other side aren't doing it? The GOP already tried playing this game, and they got their ass handed to them. They thought they could take a chunk out of Pelosi's ass over her use of Military aircraft last year - turns out the Republican prick before her topped her by a mile. For everything you can find wrong with the Democrats, I can find double on the Greed-Oil-Poverty party. If ya ask me - they all need to fucking go...

  • Newt flew commercial! I'm talking to a misguided liberal who thinks big Gov. hand-outs are going to lead us to freedom when the contrary is true! 12 million illegal aliens will be added to the cost of this boondoggle if it passes, and that means all of us pick-up the tab! So your calling the 95% here ass-holes? Typical liberal!

  • Yeah Yeah - I know my Hemi Heads. But you're a little slow on your politicians. Must be because you're old as shit, (just kidding) I was talking about former Speaker Dennis Hastert. And stop making up lies with the illegal alien crap. All you GOP'ers are alike - you love yur scare tactics. You should be glad there's somebody in Washington that actually gives a shit about the people. Even if it's only a little bit. The GOP think our Government is their cash-cow.

  • Yeah man, I did time in Vietnam so I'm old, it will happen to you if your lucky? I watched my best friend take his last breath there, and I have hated liberal politicians (LBJ) ever since, so shoot me, I've got good reasons to feel like I do!

  • The way Washington works, we all have a reason to feel the way we do. And I'll bet alot of the people fighting these wars right now are pissed at the GOP like you at LBJ..Well - the ones that figured it out. It's funny, they send you over there fighing commies - now they have all our jobs and own us. What's wrong with this picture??

  • My experience with the VA medical system is like the system Dems. are proposing! You would not like it!

  • I know the VA was a mess in the past. And I know guy's like McCain left Vets pissing in the wind when it comes to funding the VA, But I also know Obama put a lot money towards the VA recently. And if our Govt. healthcare system is so bad, why do the old people say they wouldn't trade it for anythig else?

  • Not all are happy with the VA, agent Orange has claimed about 160,000 and it was 10 years after the war was over before they even admitted it caused cancer! Eric Holder called us cowards but he and Obama and the like have never served 1 day in the military! Obama has thrown money around like it grows on trees! That's why the deficit has tripled in the year he's been in office!

  • Eric Holder called you cowards? I didn't hear about that one. And did you ever stop to think why Obama's racking up so much debt is because he's got shit for tax revenue? He's got over 700 billion less in tax revenue than Bush's last year. He can't pay the countries bills. And he also knows if we don't invest in ourselves we're fucked. What do you think will happen if the ecomony get worse - or if we keep losing industries? We'll default like Greece No more dollar as the world reserve currency.

  • @Wildkkat1 Lol the Republitards won't even allow Grayson's Medicare BUY-IN Bill anywhere near their corporate holes. Nice try, though, with the same tired blame-it-all-on-the-poor-and-i­llegal-aliens bullshit.

  • Dems can push threw anything they want with their majority! Try again!
