  • LMAO IT WAS RULED UNCONSTITUTIONAL OBUMACARE IS OVER PAY FOR YOUE OWN DAMN INSURANCE TO HELL WITH FAT PEOPLE AND SMOKERS THAT YOUR PROBLEM NOT MINE I GOT MY OWN PROB DONT TREAD ON ME!!!!!!

  • @roppokai1 the ruleing is going to be overturned

  • @roppokai1 Sorry pal. Can't steal money from the poor now can't you? LOL. You will change your ideas to American values or you will lose your life. LOL.

  • @syzygy501  DONT TREAD ON ME!!!!!!

  • YET. there has been proosed a health data base for years. it's not the health care its the inusrance quit making insurance andhealth care seem like they are the same thing. lack of insurance is not lack of health care that's what money is for.

    Making a farce our of reality does not change it unless you plan to support it while i's hidden till it is sprung on the masses who are busy watching jerry springer instead of cspan.

  • This is funny and sobering in the same vein.

  • there are no health police, there are the police and military police. they are dogs of the government. they will do this. cig tax, soda tax. you young turks are shrugging truth off. did you see how many pages? some thousand in a couple days? most didn't read the entire thing.

  • Yea, the stuff the republicans are saying has been completely absurd, however, requiring that people have health insurance is too far in itself.

    Providing health care for everyone is different than requiring it, right now, the plan in congress does require you register for health insurance.

  • Fac and Darmo right on and until we get rid of Legal Bribery our votes are useless. What is curious to me is why peeps aren't yelling about it. It's bribery and its legal and humans are frail creatures and actually very easy and cheap to bribe i.e. the Russians bought ton's of secrets for next to nothing.

  • Cenk,

    I wish you had also brought up that this party is the same one that supported warrantless wiretapping of the conversations of US citizens! Talk about Big Brother intruding into our lives!

  • I hate when commentators like Cenk and Keith Olbermann and Maddow paint the conservative v. liberal arguments in this country as though they were actually that. In reality, there are the Republicans, who are 100% married to their corporations because they're bribed to be. Then there are Democrats, who are maybe 30% married to their corporations. There is no ideological debate going on here. It's just people who make a buck by raping this country versus those who want to make it better.

  • Democrats are "married" to unions, lawyers and campaign contributors... Corporations hire employees and pay a lot in taxes. What do lawyers and unions do?

    You think its a coincidence that the banks that got bailouts were huge Obama contributors? How about why Obama isnt going after TORT reform? Or why the UAW got a massive sweetheart deal from Obama?

    Youre right that both sides are raping America but whos voting in these people?

  • Why are unions a bad thing? Reps always say that but I never understand, I have a union at my job and its the best job I've ever had. The unions protect the employees from being abused, and we need something like that bc it's not fair for individual employees to have to try to fight an entire corporation should they need to.

    I don't think Dems are really married to lawyers, so I would need more info on that to comment.

    No, I don't think it's a coincidence that the banks that were bailed...

  • I used to work for the UAW and saw first hand how it led to lower productivity.

    The jobs were the easiest youve ever seen and people were making $28 an hour.

    My problem with unions is that it drives wages up to the point that businesses cant compete. My biggest problem is when unions get into small businesses (card check) where profit margins are already paper thin.

  • I make a lot less money at my union job then I did for non-union work, and I also have to pay union dues so it's a lot less.

    Secondly, you wrote that small business owners are affected by unions but keep in mind that the owners don't pay for the union, the union members do through dues. The only way owners are affected is that they can't screw over employees anymore or treat them like shit.

  • ... out were Obama contributors. They were also contributors to the Reps and Dems who passed the legislation. I think Obama intentionally helped them for money and he should have been impeached for doing so, but he won't bc the people who should have impeached him did the same thing.

    I don't know why he's not going after tort reform, he does have a lot on his plate right now so I don't hold it against him much.

  • Hes not going after tort reform because trial lawyers are his 2nd biggest campaign supporter after unions.

  • Um. Yeah. Uh, people with more money get taxed more, naturally a corporation would pay a lot in taxes. But they're still doing well and thriving. Look at Haliburton! They're kicking ass in the construction business, making millions, but DAMN, they sure are paying a lot of taxes. Poor ol' Haliburton. I feel SO fuggin' bad for them. [/sarcasm]

    When you say companies pay too much in taxes, you're an idiot. If you're that worried about a deficit, maybe you should have stopped Bush from warring.

  • in 2008 what percentage of bankruptcies were directly caused by folks paying for health care ? As I remember, it was 20% or more.

    ....And thats a good health care system ?

    ...and why do people continue to repeat the lies about what MAY occur. I get socialized medical, 100% paid for by tax payers, administered by the Gov. MY health care is better than my mothers and she is rich...as I look over the commenter's I notice I'm almost the only one with a valid experienced viewpoint.

  • where is the money gonna come from? oh sure taxpayers great idea our government is trilions in debt now lets make it trillions moreto reform a health care. Hey sop taxing the fk out of them make the hopitals have some sort of price cut in how much they charge for all everything i mean it 200$ just to go there thats crazy maybe then they could afford to cut our copays and monthly cost if our wonderful Gov didnt tax the shit out of them

  • Youre talking about catastrophic care. Not the overall health care system.

    If thats your issue with the current system, have the government cover catastrophic care for its citizens... But the government isnt pushing for that are they? They want TOTAL CONTROL of the health care system.

  • Thats the last thing I expected the chairman of the RNC to say...is it too much to ask for our politicians to just...you know...think?

  • Lets say youre running a business... Are you really going to spend money on a health care plan for your employees when the government has a free plan? Employers drop their insurance plans and employees are FORCED to the governments plan.

    Health care insurers also have the petty little problem of making a profit. The government has bottomless pockets so to call the government health care "competition" isnt really a true statement.

  • They are gonna force us into this plan dont matter my man its all in there fked up plan for the one world government they wanna control every aspect of our lives. Step by Step day by day soon enough everyone will see they might not notice and protestors will be known as terrorist and be killed then steralzing us all if we dont learn not to reproduce oh its not pretty what they want and are doing

  • odumba is running out of countries to appoligize to and now must put his plan into action,dumb down the sheeple take over all aspects of your lives from birth to death, the elderly are at risk because with socialism they are worthless and not contributing so why keep them alive. the libs have a plan to make all equal and dependant on gov. for everything. but first you create massive unemployment,take control of lives and then you can lead the sheeple wherever you want. wake up odumba socialism

  • odumba has made alot of this mess with his idiotic stimulus and how is that working not one job created or saved unemployment out of control and now odumbacare at 1.5 trillion,for what so we can cover illigal aliens? destroy the greatest healthcare in the world its all part of the socialist odumba plan,make everyone equally poor and dependant on government . tear down whitey and take over as in nazi germany,

  • Comment removed

  • So......you are serious about the fact that you'd much rather have a nationalized system as opposed to private?

    BTW - You realize Obama's plan would instantly give 12 million illegal aliens healthcare? How would that help our country?

  • So, you are going to sit there and tell me that Canadians do not come to the USA for medicine? LOLOLOLOLOL......Canada's healthcare system is horrible, dude.

  • In theory - it is possible.

  • I liked Steele better when he was "Humpty Hump".

    "...the Humpty Dance, here's your chance to do the Hump.....!!!"

  • What's the point of free health care if it's not actually free?

    And Cenk--you ever heard of T.E. Lawrence?

  • cock sucking poloticians they all suck! hry this is the fuck you police you have the right to eat shit fuck face!

  • Uninformed people are sucking on the FOX NEWS tit. They have no idea how overseas health care works...the only information they get is based on their cable news channel. I know a doctor in London that lives very well...yet not extravagantly. Two cars, Townhouse in the city.

    In fact city police do well there too...I should check it out. :)

  • I see all caps is compensatory for small anatomies. A true left-winger you are!

  • Just disagree with the system as a whole.....I want immediate care when I'm sick and I get that under my current plan.

  • You get it under your current plan but what if...you get fired or RIF? Do you expect me to care about you then when the hospital has you sitting in the emergency room for 8 hours? Or you have to pay 160 dollars for simple blood pressure medicine?

    Nope, wont care a bit...just like you.

  • You've got to realize that under a publicly-funded system, there are patients who will take priority based solely on how severe their illness/problem is, keep that in mind.

    Honestly, if I was in charge. I would propose a two-tier system (which I believe is actually what this bill proposes, correct me if I'm wrong). By two-tier system, I mean that people will have the option to stay with a private insurer, or go with a govt. plan. That way, you can get immediate care for elective procedures.

  • This country is in need of health police.This a very disgustingly out of shape populus

  • Hey, if Canada's system is so much worse than ours, then why hasn't their health care crisis driven them to try privitizing health care? Come to think of it, why is the rest of the developed world suffering this failed system instead of electing someone to office to end it? Could it be that the vast majority of people in those countries like their system, in spite of the higher taxes? France and Canada both have nearly 90% approval for their health care systems. We dont even have 90% coverage.

  • Lawyers are disqualified for Talk Radio Commentary.

  • You can picture how we end up, once poor or old or both they will just give you the shot that sends you to the grave. Keep in mind to the Insiders, the Rothschilds and Company we the people are useless eaters once our funds are gone or old. Obama's Administration picking up where Hitler left off.

  • Uncle tom shut up your not the leader of gop is rush is

    get big business out of my health care

    yeap looks like uncle tom nees to be put on a diet

    same with blue cross blue shield everytimg you use it they keep the records and then try to get some ins later

  • WTF did you just say whore? fuck yo republican fashism... the flames in hell won't be conservative bitch, and learn how to spell....

  • It's spelled - fascism. The irony of you ripping someone else for spelling errors when your ignorant ass can't spell is too funny.

    BTW idiot - Obama's pullout plan from Iraq is ONE less month than Bush's.

    As mentioned, go fuck yourself.

  • April 27 (Reuters) - President George W. Bush pledged on Friday to veto -- and go on vetoing -- legislation that includes a timetable for pulling U.S. troops from Iraq but Democrats urged him to sign it.

    Bush may have been forced to "say" he had a plan but it dosn't mean we would not have been mired in his war for years to come. HE LIED ABOUT THE ENTIRE WAR and ITS POLICIES. Over 9 Billion US tax Dollars was lost in that WAR. Double that between 2005 and now.

  • at least Obama wants to spend money here in US,not in every where else.I know that Afghanistan is costly,but for a fact,if the terrorist get control of Pakistan we are way more screwed than Iraq.This is a response to HokiesAndDawgs comment.I am not putting you down,just a thought.

  • This a-hole totally missed the point.

  • i think you did you mark ass lame...

  • You realize that you morons making these videos lose your audience more and more by being biased idiots, right?

    These guys love getting on their knees and slurping up all of Obama's stupidity.

  • I'm the gynecologist police!!!

  • Do you need an assistant?

  • And then 'the police' read the brushstrokes on your panties.

  • check out spilla flo video

  • Blind obedience to the federal government will eventually ruin this country (And by "eventually" I mean pretty damn soon). Steele sounds paranoid, but the truth of what's happening to our personal liberties and protection of privacy cannot be ignored.

    Just listen To Rahm Emmanuel and tell me that asshole isn't into serfdom for the masses.

  • You are a cavalier idiot. Don't you know that with Gov't run health care there will be rules and quotas? da...look at what has become of our tax filing. You can not serve the masses equally without sacrifice of quality. Furthermore, putting these decisions into the hands of politicians rather than the individual or physician / specialist is VERY SCARY. And why is it that Congress is exempt from this universal plan?

  • Fuck govt health care and fuck any politician that supports it.

  • Amen to that

  • I don't want the government telling me how to live my life. I think I should be able to decide how I live it and not be told how to live it.

  • health ins companies does then they want pay and then you will not be able to get insurance form anyone else

  • Thens i realizedsdss that iz waz drunk and insurs dont takas me cash uway

  • dis guyz da real deal he shood get hired by foxnews or somethin'

  • Holy shit, this Michael Steele guy is paranoid.

  • It's not paranoia, it's the truth. The government will not pay for your healthcare if you're living a "reckless" lifestyle. To save money they will tell you what to eat, how much to sleep, if you can smoke or drink, how much excercise to get. You think they want to pay for someone who will be in and out of the hospital?

  • like most CONS are he is just afriad of what to say without running it by russ first

  • Single payer is the best.

  • Go visit Canada and Europe for a year or two. Don't sit here and talk about what you've never had to experience.

  • NAZI, health plan=Obama health plan.

  • rather than just equate words, why the fuck don't you give us facts chewbacca? seems to me you're just another fucking lying "christian"republican who just refuses to understand america is tired of your lies.

    why the fuck do you think young americans are turning their backs on you bastards?

    cause you haven't learned the virtue of telling theyour christian truth! lies are the only way you're party is able to win elections.

    well, chew, we're disgusted with you sanford et al! get the hint?

  • Facts, no useless eater program has started.

    No mercy death, euthanasia or the elderly and chronically sick is official government policy, yet.

    "The dean of health-care economists, Victor Fuchs of Stanford, has long maintained that we will get health-care reform only when there is a war, a depression or some other major civil unrest. It's beginning to look like we might just have all three...."

    —Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, "The Financial Crisis and Health Care," the Chicago Tribune, Oct. 12, 2008

  • BTW, I'm not a Demopublican or a Republicrat.

    Those fools are the one's that have sowed the seeds to economic disaster and erosion of my rights.

    Good luck to you.

  • ah, shut the fuck up chew, you're an asshole on the level of ensign, haggart, swaggart, gingrich, foley, livingston, craig and vitter.

  • Touche'.

    Very heavy stuff, your judo is better than kung fu, very dense.

    When I submit documentation, or links to support my position and Obamatons can't connect the dots I'm an "asshole".

    Well at least our debate didn't include any empty rhetoric or slogans substituting for meaningful dialogue. .

    Peter Whoresack financial health cuts mirror NAZI cost cutting in healthcare. I suppose you don't think we have a Fascist economic system either.

    Once again good luck to you.

  • imbecile

  • Lmao. "There are a lot of issues you can debate, but that ain't one of 'em!"

  • Meathead, with all that lard, above and below the neck, you WILL be doing some hard time. Hey, you know the "fat tax" is coming.

  • Apesta

  • Doesn't it make sense for health insurance to charge more for clients who are at greater risk of becoming unhealthy?

    Why not complain about car insurance companies that charge risky drivers more money?

  • Let me get this straight. You're compairing Car insurance to the health of a human being? What are you, a fucking Martian?

  • my question for you TYT is have you read all 1,200+ of the pages of Obama's healthcare program??

  • Aren't private insurance companies already doing that? Raising premiums or dropping coverage for "risky behavior"?

  • Cenk is an idiot. The government ALREADY tells people what to eat, what to smoke, what to drink.

  • Comment removed

  • gov't healthcare isn't in the Constitution, is it..? did I miss something..?

  • the 22nd amendment was not added until 1947 should we just do away with that too? 

    Oh, if they had not thought of it before 1791 then it must be bad for us. Are you completely reatarded or just mildly?

  • Constitution is messed up anyway... its how people interpret it... in the first amendment it talks about the freedom of speech, press, religion, some other stuff. but if we badmouth the president or political leaders we get our ass kicked.. i guess they decided..hmmm... healthcare...okay...

  • hippa..?

  • YT's....more STUPIDITY of libs.

  • so bias you cant be respected so say on your little channel and now independent thinkers are leaving your forum aka channel

  • obama/0sama no difference

  • there's a b instead of an s

  • People should watch the pilot episode of SLIDERS It was about the us being communist. That is what Obama wants to accomplish. If you want to know what will happen they should watch it.....

  • if obamas health care plan passes students will be told they have to be doctors, current doctors will be forced at gunpoint to move to areas that dont have enough doctors, our libertys will be stolen in the name of the greater good and so begins the fall of freedom in america courtesy of the great socilaist obama

  • What are you? A moron?

    How are they going to force you to become a doctor at gunpoint? Is that what they're doing in Great Britain?

  • They already know the state of your health , they already know what you buy where you buy it and how often , and thanks to mobiles/cell phones they know where yoou are , who you talk to and what you talk about , the people in control can already tell everything about you if they want , and it makes fuck all diference , if they dont control you what the fuck does it matter what they know about you ???

  • If I am going to fucking help pay for anyone's health that isn't mine, he'd better take his fucking ass to a health clinic. Fuck him. Fuck his couch. Fuck his mom and his unhealthy eating or smoking or heroine addiction or anything. I have no Idea how to deal with this, but, WTF!?

  • any other country with universal health care dont even think about that, its not even an after thought. if people get sick they go to a walk in clinic, they go to a hospital, w/e. and they dont have to worry about paying for a thing, except experimental medication. if you get healthcare you can think of other things to worry your selfish cockroach ass about.

    ps- fuck you

  • It's not that extreme yet but we're on our way. I'm sure you've heard of cities not allowing fast food restaurants to open up in certain parts anymore.

  • sounds like NWO....

  • Republicans are a bunch of ignorant malcontents, who can be worked into a frenzy about anything. They simply can't live with the reality that they lost the election so badly. Their desperation has lead them to look increasingly insane. Their divorce from reality and retreat into the political netherland of subjective hate and fear, runs counter to the direction of the conciousness of our country. These Palinesque optics will lead them to a major defeat in 2010 and 2012. Life is beautiful.

  • Michael Steele doesn't have the fearmongering propaganda down pat like his fat,white,under educated, toothless, tea bagging counter parts do!

  • What?!? Yes, Micheal Steele and his interpretation of Obama's health plan is just stupid and he's a fucking moron. But I 100% agree with charging people more for living unhealthy life styles. You know what happens when they don't, everyone pays more across the board. Why the fuck should I have to pay more for my health care when I don't even have a fraction of the doctor visits that the lazy, fat ass, and smokers do?!? That's like car insurance not going up for a reckless driver.

  • The card and ID system is exactly what we have here in canada. The dieting and mandate is unfeasible.

  • I doubt they would ever implement a dieting system.

  • Im a proud blk republican and I cant stand STEELE. I never met one blk republican who thought highly of him. We demanded that he steps down.

  • michael steele is an idiot...

    but I did hear an Obama speech this weekend where he talked about a national computer system which tracks health care for each individual...

    I dont know how it tracks us, or to the extent it does...but to deny that such an idea even exists is kinda disingenuous...

  • health care != food intake

  • warning warning Steele's a twat!!

  • He's moving those pieces.

  • The GOP needs to do itself a big favor AND GET RID OF MICHAEL STEELE RIGHT NOW!

  • lol no, keep him, look how stupid he sounds.

  • Honestly, any foreigner, other than England, walking along the streets of any american city would have to say that America could benefit greatly from health police.... I live in Japan, I am American.... Americans are fat disgusting slobs.... Really.

  • im fat but i am in good health.

    but you make it sound like all Americans are fat slobs. you do know that if your fat that does not mean your a slob. there are some nice clean fat people. and if your American you dont have to be fat.

    don't group every one together

  • Check out statistics on health care, life expectancy, obesity, diabetes, heart attacks, etc compared to other industrial countries. Americas health is very poor statistically and visually.

  • i agree no debate there. most cant go to the doctor when they do get sick. something needs to be done.

  • But the government isn't the solution.

  • ....but the profit driven insurance companies are? Open your mouth here comes your tea-bag.

  • yeah i hate the notion that just because your fat makes you LAZY! oh noes!

    in reality, people are doing the same shit they were doing 20-40 years ago, going to work, watching tv etc. We just eat more unhealthy food/pre-packaged foods. Somehow we're slobs now.

  • pules all the unhealthy foods cost less then food that is good for you. if you want to eat healthy you got to pay more.

  • Don't take life so seriously..you can't get out alive anyway.

  • If the overall cost is extremely high because America has unhealthy habits, the people who don't have such habits will become more vociferous in wishing others to curtail their unhealthy habits. I doubt this will happen immediately, but what about a few years down the road after the system is in place.

    Is there any way we can resolve the health care issue without creating a system that will likely get abused by our corrupt politicians in the future?

  • I usually agree with Cenk, but I'm not sure if I can on this issue. It is true that there aren't currently any 'health police', I think that Steele had a somewhat valid point. We're opening a door with this, which will make it possible to pose an argument in favor of limiting people's unhealthy activities for the benefit of everyone.

    The current health plan may not include such a system, but it could put us on course down a slippery slope.

  • I had that same line of thought.

    You can not have everything. But some thing are doomed to failure without others, and in the long run doomed to fail even with it in the long run.

    This needs to be thought out carefully.

  • I fuckin hate how that buzzer/alarm sound, find a new one to use

  • Cenk no someone SHOULD be charged for smokeing and drinking. Also obeese people and malnourished people should pay more.

    Thats just common sense, everything else I agree with though. 5/5

  • And how do you propose we check everyone's daily diet? Some people are naturally chubby or skinny, do those people pay more too?

  • Shut up! Fuckin people always so annoying!

    I said OBESE and MALNOURISHED

    who in the FUCK is

    naturally OBESE or MALNOURISHED?

  • Ok first of all take a chill pill, that level of stress is unhealthy and will make your insurance costs rise ;)

    Second, my point is where do you draw the line? I am always being told I look malnourished even though I eat three meals a day and generally fairly healthy food. So do I count as malnourished or not? How do you decide who does?

    In principle your suggestion makes some sense but in practice a whole lot of people fall into those gray areas.

  • Yea you're right but man you have NO idea how many people have sent me retarded ass comment replies and even private messages.

    As to you appearing malnourished YOU'RE NOT. Obviously in a physical they don't say "well he LOOKS malnourished!" like come on man

  • any healthcare system is expensive--we're looking for the LEAST expensive method. and sure, people need to be responsible, but things like cancer, etc aren't necessarily people's fault.

  • I'm still scared of Obama's health care proposal. It's expensive and I think it is up to the individual to take care of his own health.

  • roflmao, what if people can't afford that, they just have to die?

  • hospitals have to treat you nomadder what its just that you will be charged alot more

  • How can it be up to the individual when the USA bombardes us with unhealthy foods that are proven to kill us and have created diseases that did not exist 50 years ago. When organic foods are made to be more expensive due to the way the system is set up so that unhealthy foods get substitites from the government. Like corn,which becomes corn syrup,and so on. Where there are barley ANY grocery stores that cary real whole foods. HOW can a person making minimum wage take care of ones own health?

  • Why hasn't the GOP already got rid of Michael Steele - don't they realize how much his stupidity is hurting the party?

  • Cus then they'd have to admit they made a mistake

    You could've asked the same question about Palin

  • The party is made up of Micheal steels and goofs like Ann coulter.!

  • "Health police"? Where do Republicans get these bizarre, paranoid ideas?

  • Criskity, Probably from the same warnings that under obama....... the Department of Homeland Security advisory recommends watching the "right wing extremists" or "conservatives" (now called terrorists) that are targeting Military personel to join their conservative movement...... (see DHS website)

  • sad thing is...they have a following (although now its a very small following lol) that actually believes this crap. not only is this bizarre, its downright dangerous/scary.

  • What is this Logan's Run? LOL

  • that's funny I am also warning people of his health policy but for different reasons, mostly because it's not socialist enough

  • Micheal Steele, another douche that is on my list of people I believe must die for the country to survive. Because right now America is one of the greatest countries on earth only by default.

  • great video, i totally agree!

  • I don't get out much, but who believes this shit? Michael Steele, more like Michael Lies.

  • what?

  • god forbid people be given preventative care

  • The GOP needs to get rid of Michael Steel NOW -- he's such a clown he's doing damage to the party.

  • This just proves that Republicanism as it stands has nothing to do with race. It has to do with the mind—and like most Republicans Mr. Steele "the strategist" is a complete moron.

  • Puff the token NEGRO!!!!

    I hate this man!!!

  • I HATE'EM TOO....

  • what a load of old poppy! these scumbags seem to think that most people in the USA are morons!(ok most of the morons who watch Fox news are morons,but that's besides the point!)

    as my old sarg once said.."Follow the money" (and you will be amazed just who is in the pocket of the health insurance firms!) these dickheads cant seem to get over the small but vital fact they LOST the last election and are coming up with all these scare stories to fuck the US people over with!

  • Steele = Useless

  • Steele says he doesn't want the health police knocking on his door...does that mean he wants drugs legalized?

  • I have always said it. The Rep. Party chose this men because the color of his skin not what he has in his head! Does he have anything in his head?

    Keep at it. Dem. Party will be in power for 40 yrs. LMAO!!!

  • Michael, Michael , Michael... i dont understand for the life of me why people are against a healthcare system in for people who struggle day to day anyway and a system that would benefit them. Also it is a system where people get to choose wether they want to use a govt ran system. if you are so against govt, and want to protest govt healthcare, fine, dont get the plan. Obama is not forcing you to use his plan. what it does is forces the private ins. co to tighten up w/better rates for people

  • Well fat people buy more food than regular people, so are already paying more tax to compensate for their unhealthy lifestyle, assuming the tax collected on the food purchases counteract the cost of their healthcare, though I gotta be honest, often it's not the case.

  • what's next...chipping people.

  • Son, you got pwnd!

  • Are you referring to me...someone who lives in an country which has been independent from British authority since 1931. You guys need to do some homework.

    God save the Queen.

  • Comment removed

  • You know, when you hear the likes of McCain or other senior GOP Congressmen speaking against government-funded healthcare it's extremely hypocritical. They've received government-funded healthcare for decades and EXTREMELY good healthcare at that.

  • mandating our diet? i still can't believe how stupid that is. do people even take this garbage seriously?

  • "So Mr President, what are you going to do about Iran.... Wait, wait, wait, I gotta see what Billy Bob is eating".... ROFLMBAO

  • Do you even know how Commonwealth Realms work. I swore Allegiance to Her Majesty, the Queen of Canada", when I joined the service and I did it with pride.

    As for Canadian health care...if you knew how it worked you wouldn't be so harsh. From a simple checkup to open heart surgery we walk out without a bill. Can you say that?

  • What's weird is all of these poor white GOP people. Who ideaologically vote against everything that will benefit them. It's remarkable how indoctrinated and brainwashed they are. They sit behind this blank fog/wall waiting to hear buzz words like "Holy Spirit, Gun, Nigger, Socialist, Communist, Baby Killer, Ayrab, Osama, Abortion, Us, Them, " they don't really know anything else except what they are told. White Jesus the pied piper in full effect.

  • I would give my left nut for a steele/palin ticket in 2012. What you have to understand is that a good percentage of GOP voters wouldnt vote for a half arab half black guy. And if steele dosent run then their is a great chance that bobby jhindal will. If you dont think that the GOP is a dying breed then just wait untill 2012.

  • Each province in Canada has it's own health card... It's more for billing from the doctor to the government then a tracking system. Conspiracy nut jobs.

  • Funny thing is if they wanted to track you they already could, through your credit card, your email, god knows what else.

    If Big Brother thinks you're worth watching, trust me you're being watched.

  • No Health Police but there is a Dream Police!

  • Once again Michael Steele shows what apathetic and incompent man he is.

    He has done much to further the crisis of the party he is suposed to be the leader of.

  • I find him to be quite entertaining. I hope the republicans don't kick him to the curb no time soon...

  • steele is so funny
