  • Did I hear "God give me patience"?

  • OO ee oo ah ah tin tan walla walla bing bang!

    OO ee oo ah ah tin tan walla walla bang bang!

  • "Drop the public option Obama because if you don't i will no longer get my million dollar pay cheque from AHIP!"

  • Lucky Obama won, right?

  • lucky.. no gravel should have won

  • On a good year, Congress will consistently overstep their Constitutional bounds. The war in Iraq, 100% un Constitutional. Congress has sole authority to declare war, they cant give their power away. Patriot Act? Real ID? Anything from FDRs New Deal? Nixon? Bush? Clinton? Wilson? Reagan? And all the Congressional sessions and Supreme Court Justices in between have overstepped their authority.

    This is why some 33 states have passed resolutions declaring their sovereignty under the 10th amendment.

  • Goddamn weasely no good Republicans. Warts on the ass of society.

  • i usually try to use reasoned, well though out logic to make a point, but my hats off to you. You summed it up perfectly.

  • While I have no such love for Republicans, an Ad Hominem attack is the sign of a failed argument, or the sign of ignorance on the issue.

  • Yeah he could possibly somewhere in his agenda have a valid point, but chances are he annd his buddies aren't out for the love of mankind. To care for his fellow man is in all likelihood not his or his ilks goal. These are the odds.

  • I can't for the life of me comprehend how some people beleive they are totally within their rights to deny others the right to good health care? Why? because those certain nay sayers have good coverage and they don't want to lose it? EVERYONE should have good health coverage when you live in one of the richest countries in the world. Nobody should die from preventable illnesses when you have million dollar hospitals on every corner! You shouldn't put a dollar value on a life.

  • Just say hell no! Call on KING JESUS CHRIST HE is the only way out of hell fire! KING JESUS CHRIST is THE BREAD OF LIFE! Repent of your sins and turn to KING JESUS CHRIST before it is to late! Call upon THE LORD OF HOST the end is near!

  • You mean the Invisible friend of many people.

    i believe his name is Jesus.

    You guys didnt gave him a lastname ?.

    To me he sounds like an illegal Immigrant lol.

  • GOP scare tactic "socialed medicine means you will wait for treatment and die while you wait", ppl, that is total bull. I have had nothing but excellent timely care. I wouldn't have it any other way. I feel so bad for all the people in the US that are left without coverage. What a shame.

  • Then Harvard releases a report stating that 44,000+ Americans die every year because they lack health care....You have to love the Bullshit the GOP and select Democrats are spewing

  • Our Constitution does not guarantee you the right to health care. In fact, our Constitution doesn't even give the Federal government the right to vote on this issue. Its just Congress wasting time when they could be doing real things, like ending the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and bring home our troops in Europe and Asia. Eliminating corruption by repealing McCain-Feingold, Tort reform, and basically repeal every other piece of legislation passed in the last 100 years that are UN-Constitutional.

  • Our constitution may not guarantee it, but it should be a basic human right to have health care.

  • Should be is a WHOLE other story that is not relevant. Read the Constitution. Not only does it NOT guarantee it, but by the fact that the Constitution has no provision giving Congress the power to pass such law (Hint: General welfare clause in the preamble isn't an actual enumeration of power) means that the only entity with the authority to do so is the State.

    The tenth Amendment gives the STATE the authority to pass "Universal and comprehensive health care," NOT the Federal government.

  • I am Asian? LMFAO Ok loser. Keep on trying.

    The User name i use moron is a video game in the 1980's. You are obviously an American. Dumb as rocks. You and Sarah Palin must be twins.

  • Without a public option all this is pointless. I would rather pay taxes for healthcare for all instead of supporting endless, mindless war that enriches only the arms manufacturers and the undertakers.

  • Yeah, all they say this "This would lead to a government takeover." and the other shit.

    This isn't like the auto bailout or the banks. We deserve an option that's not having 70% of what we pay going into someone's pocket.

  • lol You don't deserve anything of the sort. The Constitution doesn't give you the right to Health Care.

  • McCain has no credibility here as he is one of the highest paid muppets from the Private Health Care companies.

  • The sad thing is this healthcare could be good but its not. ITs been written STILL to benefit the major healthcare companys. Major Military Industrial Complex have TRIED this plan as a beta and the employees all thought is was ridiculous. Mandatory vaccinations, have to prove you are working out and on a diet...on and on...Our leaders don't give a damn either way democrats or republicans. People are so stupid they don't get this. Look at how much money both Bush and Obama gave the banks.

  • I would probably be able to work and contribute more to society if I had healthcare. I have shingles on my face and I can't afford prescriptions tpo treat them. I will return to work as a subsitute teacher after eating advil for a serious illness.

  • your so FOS

  • Mccain is way to pale to live in arizona

  • Or maybe you'd like a corporation in charge of the police too!

  • Rep,Teapartiers are CEOcommunist...They want you pay your bloody rates to the CEOs gains and private health care bureaucracy!

  • Of course, why not? Obviously the laws of supply and demand would be more efficient at allocating security to the citizens. Damned socialists...

    (that was sarcasm, btw)

  • pruanelover4ever- and not to mention the little public groups called the Police and Fire Departments.

  • Single Payer National Health Care NOW! The public option IS the compromise. ENOUGH WITH CORPORATE GREED.

  • The only prob is that if everyone has free healthcare, then people who don't work for money or anything will be taking money from those who do work..

  • OMG guess what!? People who don't work are allowed to walk on the sidewalks and use public restrooms that YOU paid for! We need to privatize these industries asap.

  • yeah, but people aren't going to care to piss in them more and take advantage of them.

  • He clearly tinkered with the audio to the clip; noone would just keep going about pointing their fingers at the crowd if they weren't getting a clear resounding response.

  • kuwageta- clearly you haven't been to one of these rousing gatherings

  • TO Fulloook wherever you are in here that wrote this:

    You want everything for free?? I would not mind higher taxes if that meant I could go to a doctor! Where the hell do you think schools get built and roads maintained??? READ THE PROPOSAL FIRST!!!!!!!!

    It comes from tag fees, and the taxes we pay for school. Public schools suck I know I had a son in it and now is in Private school. So yes Universal health care is a joke. Like throwing a bread crumb to a bunch of pigeons. Everyone wants a bite

  • why is universal health care not a joke for the other thirty countries who have it. instead our employers are suppose to provide it. WHy? Why should employers be linked to health care?

  • lol, republicrits.

  • You show me where his stimulus package is working I would like to know. The cash for clunkers is a waste of money. Socialized medicine doesn't work , when its free there will be lines. We are the wealthiest country in the world because of capitalism competition with other companies not monopolies. If people want these things then leave the country period! We are a republic. People keep thinking its going to be free its not! There are going to be higher taxes to cover this.

  • You want everything for free?? I would not mind higher taxes if that meant I could go to a doctor! Where the hell do you think schools get built and roads maintained??? READ THE PROPOSAL FIRST!!!!!!!!

  • I do realize that I could have my own private insurance even though this socialized medicine does go into effect, but the problem is nothing is free. The money has to come from somewhere which means its going to end up costing me anyways. Money out of my paycheck and higher taxes on everything is not going to solve anything. If we want to save our country government needs to step off and let us grow the country again instead of taxing the hell out of businesses.

  • The US is probably the most purely capitalist nation on earth. Your government has 'backed off'. In fact, it never got very close to begin with. It isn't working though. Tens of millions either uninsured or underinsured. Your overall healthcare is inferior to countries where there is socialised medicine.

    This is a human right. Just as protection under the law is a human right. Just as having a fire dept. to stop you from burning to death is a human right. Accept it please.

  • Per capita, Americans already pay more for their health insurance than other countries with universal healthcare. Your taxes will go up, but you'll still save more.

  • What a crock. They just don't want the democratic party to succeed they want the country is fucked up because of them.

  • The Dems need to use the power granted to them by the American people to get things done. GOP had a crack at it and trashed our country, taking most of the world with us. Unemployment is always the last thing to level off and recover, it has slowed down and will recover. The president and the house should not be worried about getting a few Republican or Independent  votes next time around and just take care of buisiness while they are there. Might as well have Republicans rule the house.

  • Appeasement didn't work against the Right-wing radicals in the 1930s and it won't work today.

  • The American confidence is falling because the GOP is up to its old tricks of scaring the shit out of people with lies. The president needs to just come out fighting and call these people out and expose the lies of "death panels" ect. There is no shame in calling someone a liar in public when you can prove it is a lie. Just say NO to the party of NO.

  • Ope "TRICK OR TREAT! The "TREAT"

    obamer on CBS NEWS..... "First of all, I'd like to create a situation where we're dealing with illegal immigration, so that we don't have illegal immigrants," he said. (Amnesty for illegals?) "And we've got legal residents or citizens who are eligible for the plan. And I want a comprehensive immigration plan that creates a pathway to achieve that."

    Now the "TRICK"!

    obamer... "The H.C. Bill will NOT give coverage to illegals!"

    Which is it???

  • Unfortunatly even with Dems in charge, they seem to have the need to "dummy down" everything they do so the GOP followers can understand it, like the "death panels" ect. If we dummy down everything we do so they can understand it or get rid of completely because they cant or wont understand it, we have Stupid people running our country anyway. Sad to say and sad to see.

  • The Republicans have figured out how to win even though they lost: Scare the winners into not walking away with the trophies. "Just say no" to the Republicans. We won fair and square. We voted against the war in Iraq; we voted for health care for everyone; we voted for an return to our ethical ideals; we want the trophies on the mantle.

  • Suppo,

     Well, it looks like obamer was playing "TRICK OR TREAT" on the people that he fooled into voting for him... NOW they're finding out that obamer is giving them the "TRICK" and "NO TREAT"!

    Did YOU fall for obamer's "tricks"?

  • The only "TRICK" is trying to please the GOP who are blocking every move he makes to get things done. Trying to please the GOP is just not the way to get things done, the majority of Americans voted him into office to change the path we were on and following the GOP off a cliff is not the way.

  • Ope, Same old left wing liberal talking points for the failures of your OWN party! You have obamer running the W.H. & the Dems in complete control of Congress & you're STILL blaming the GOP? LMAO Like most liberals, don't want to face the facts that the American people DON'T want your liberal agenda!

     Those that voted for obamer wanted "change" but instead they're getting the same old politics as usual! We already had Jimmy Carter... why bring back Carter dressed up like obamer?

  • Ope "TRICK OR TREAT!" The "TREAT"

    obamer... "I want a plan that will ensure that ALL Americans have the H.C. coverage they deserve!"

    The "TRICK" The Congressional Budget Office Report... July 17, 2009 to Charles Rangle... "Under obamer's Plan.. there will still be 17 Million people with NO coverage even after 10 years!"

  • Ope, "TRICK OR TREAT!"

    The "TREAT"

    obamer..." we NEED to pass this $787 Billion Dollar "stupidlus" bill to keep the economy from getting worse and I promise that unemployment will NOT rise above 8%!"

    The "TRICK" Unemployment is NOW at 9.7%, the economy has worsened, and obamer's out there ignoring the economy but instead... SO focused on his "entitlement" programs!

  • Oh my goodness since when is Socialized medicine a good thing? A Universal Healthcare is about the dumbest thing we can have. People think its bad now they haven't seen anything if it is passed. Sure its free, but will you get the care you need? odds are nope. Ready to wait up to 10 hours to see a doctor who will tell you to come back next week? Long lines, waiting to see a doctor, clinics closed on Sundays. Wow Socialized medicine a good thing? yeah right.

  • Trust me I live in a country with universal healthcare and it's infinitely better than your system, and there's almost none of the things you people are afraid of involved innational healthcare. And you do realise that if you didn't like the public option you can choose to stay with your insurance company, don't you?

  • Funny how quickly the republicans forget the tarp I bailout which had zero regulation and oversight.

  • Republicans will work with Obama if Obama and the Dems consider the republican plans for reform that is what McCain means. Obviously this won't happen.

    As far as skyroketting costs... yea insurance costs are nasty but the quality is top notch.

    The public option would be cheap... yea but why so cheap? Well when 60-70% of $ spent is on the elderly... just give the elderly hospice instead of treatment. Now healthcare is 70% cheaper but is this really ethical?

    Examine the GOP alternatives.

  • what value does the Health Insurance industry contribute to the US economy?

    They don't build or design anything, they don't expand science or education, they don't improve transportation or telecommunication.

    What am I missing? What value does the Health Insurance industry contribute to the US economy?

    What if we could start spending that $Trillion/year some other way?????

  • Jrubin What are you missing? Well, let's see...

    How about ALL those people that are employed by these companies? And all those employees pay taxes, buy houses, buy cars, food, and so on and so on! But what has obamer contributed to the U.S. Economy? His additional Trillion dollars to the Fed budget and his 787 Billion dollar "stupidlus" bill... and the economy still has 9.4 unemployment, falling GDP, negative numbers in consumer confidence, etc.

    NO obamer would save trillions!

  • Health Insurance doesn't ADD anything it just takes a cut from the transaction between a health professional and a sick person. There is NO value-add worth $1Trillion/yr and if Gov't competition puts them out of business so be it. Rich people might still want it for private hospitals but the rest of us will save some $ and put a CHUNK of that $1Trill to better use: alternative fuels, science ed in an economy based on reality, not the Creationist BS created by Fox Noise.

  • Jrub,

    Read this...

    Congressional Budget Office's Report.... July 14th, 2009 to Charles Rangel (Chair on Ways & Means)

    Page 1..."Enacting legislation that embodied those specifications (rates & sources of insurance coverage) would result in a net *increase* in *federal budget deficits* of $1,042 billion over the 2010/2019 period."

    Page 5..."But on average, the public plan would be about *10% cheaper* than a typical private plan offered in the

    exchanges."

    Only 10% cheaper? That's it?

  • Jrub,

    "if competition puts them out of business.. so be it"? Should I assume that you were against obamer bailing out G.M.? I mean... if competition puts them out of business.. so be it, right? And the same with the other "bailouts" obamer did like the banks, AIG, etc.? And I'll be sure to tell the people that are employed at various levels of insurance agencies that you're all for them being unemployed and increasing unemployment under obamer to 31%! That'll help obamer's numbers!

  • you must have missed the part where GM started building something, lots of cars in this case. AIG? I don't like them either. The various employees of the 3-card monte game of Health Insurance? Phase it out and let regular attrition draing their ranks

  • Jrub I see... it's letting companies that YOU *don't like* "go out of business"? And let's give out all that money to the greedy car sales people & labor unions! And talk about a "game" of cards.... ever been to a car lot and the sales person starts writing on a piece of paper with all kind of numbers on it? Then he/she divides it into 4 parts? It's called the "4 SQUARE" game to see how much money they can make off of you! You should check into the profit margin of Car Dealers! LOL

  • The fire department does a good job w/o a profit motive. Baby's are good and the Octomom is bad, does that compute?

    who said anything about giving all the money to the car industry?

    The Health Insurance industry doesn't add anything to the US economy that is worth $Trillion/yr and any industry that has enough power to push a legislative agenda that benefits its shareholders at the expense of the country needs to be checked: Military Industrial Complex, East India Co.,

  • Jrub, Have you seen what the F.D.'s workers make in salaries lately? And you STILL think that there's NO ONE that works at an insurance agency and works for a paycheck?

    But you STILL miss the point that for ONLY 10% savings in insurance coverage, we'll pay more than twice that in TAXES to pay for the TRILLION dollars and more to run this garbage!

  • When did I say "NO ONE" There is some value in the industry but it is not proportional to the political clout they wield. Private insurance shouldn't go away entirely, but nor should we have 46million people who can show up an the Emergency Room w/o contributing to the system they are benefitting from. They'll pay for the services now in the form of taxes. It's not the MIC, we don't NEED the industry and it should conform to human decency.

  • Jrub, There's political "clout" in ALL major industries & corporations! The auto industry, oil, banking, real estate, G.E., MicroSoft, Walmart, Coca Cola, etc.... And you still dont see the massive losses due to the Gov running the industry much like Medicaid / Medicare that are in financial ruin now and were from the beginning! Some of the massive savings Americans would see is if those illegally here in our country were not permitted to simply cross the border to get FREE H.C.!

  • Do you understand the difference between an Industry and a Corporation? No, MC/MC gave the WWII veterans and the Boomers the safety net they needed to take chances and work in the varied industries that made the US the economic powerhouse we are. Illegals WON'T BE COVERED stop spreading lies, it's annoying.

  • Jrub, Don't YOU understand that Med / Med have begun, the politicians use them as "piggy banks" to pull funds from or pull taxes away from for their special pork barrel projects. Or, like Pelosi & Reid wanted $550 Million to buy 8 additional private jets to fly around in? And instead of using funds from obamers 787 Billion dollar "Pork U Lous" bill to put into Med / Med, obamer & the Dems are using it on 1160 Pork Barrel Projects! Or use the funds to payback obamer lobbyists!

  • Jrub, And obamer has full intentions to cover illegal aliens!

    As shown on CBS NEWS......

    obamer...... "First of all, I'd like to create a situation where we're dealing with illegal immigration, so that we don't have illegal immigrants," he said. (Amnesty for illegals?) "And we've got legal residents or citizens who are eligible for the plan. And I want a comprehensive immigration plan that creates a pathway to achieve that." Spreading lies? It's what obamer said!

  • You were spreading lies b/c you are skipping the big step of turning illegals into legal immigrants. Don't get me wrong, I too want to seal the borders but I think the best way to stop illegals from coming here is to put a $10k fine in place for each illegal someone employs. As for the ones here, I just can't imagine what it would take to put millions of people on trains into Mexico....I don't want them here not paying taxes but I can't say I want that spectacle going on either. ur solution?

  • Jrub, Another place is where obamer said that he wanted to "ensure that all 47 Million that have no coverage have coverage", right? Remember the quote and the campaign slogan that obamer's used over and over again? According to the CBO once again, in the 47 Million are the illegal immigrants! And on making illegals legal citizens, I think that they should use the current system in place but streamline the process so people don't have to wait years to become citizens!

    (cont)

  • Jrub, The immigration process, we should require illegals to become Americans & NOT what THEY want to be! They should also (like Mexico) have proof that they will be an asset to society & NOT a drain! They should earn what they receive and not get handouts or freebies when they cross our borders! We should know who they are & if theyre felons! They should be required to learn and use ENGLISH as their primary language and NOT FORCE US TO TRANSLATE EVERYTHING FOR THEM!

  • Jrub In short... let ALL in that want to become Americans and our NEW FRIENDS and NOT Americans conforming to the illegal's needs! In this modern day of data confirmation and processes, this shouldn't be that hard at all! So why are the politicians keeping this from happening? Why is it SO HARD to allow people to live in the country legally? Is it that liberals DON'T want them to follow the rules Americans follow? Is it that while they're illegal, it's cheap labor for big business?

  • Jrub, And I agree! If ANY employer willfully hires someone that's breaking the law (crossing our borders), empose massive fines each day! And, for ANY politician that hinders a process of processing illegals in a proper fashion.... VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE! And this is NOT to be confused by the "Amnesty" bill that even Bush was for! That would have simply changed their status with NO insistence that they conform to the American way of life, learn English and obey OUR laws!

  • The problem is that the Latino vote is now so big that neither party will take a stand that will offend them so it will have to be a 3rd party. I'd like them to learn English too but I improved myself by learning Spanish b/c I can get paid to talk to more ppl. I do worry when industries get powerful enough to push a legislative agenda though, I don't want Northrop starting a war to sell more planes no matter how many jobs it provides. The Health Insurance industry needs to be checked.

  • Jrub Agreed! And I do so look forward to a day when those that come into our country become Americans legally and add on to the diversity we so enjoy! And knowing other languages is fun indeed! Here in Texas... it's the best place to learn Spanish with so many to practice on while you learn! They're gracious when you mess up and enjoy when you help them with their English as well! I still wonder why politicians don't want illegals to have the same standings /status /rights as WE do?

  • Well you do have all those cattle trains, it seems like a well-organized group of real Americans would be able to maintain order as they gathered the illegals and ship them back across the border. As long as the liberals can be kept away there wouldn't be any problem dealing w/ those 'anchor babies' right? If Jesus loved them he would have given them better guns, right? God, guns and guts made America great. GIT'ER DONE!

  • Jrub,

    The main underlying issue is that under obamer care, the CBO projects ONLY a 10% savings in premiums! When people w/o coverage continue to get care by showing up to the E.R. for free, instead of the Ins. Corps raising their rates, the Gov will simply increase taxes! So youll STILL be paying premiums but at a 10% discount, but offset by the increase in TAXATION and youll end up paying far more! Unless youre in the poverty income level... then its really free... or will it be?

  • Jrub, For those that truly get the free H.C. insurance.... theres that possibility of obamers Cap & Trade thats estimated to increase the total "carbon" taxes of $3,600.00 to the average household with some credits for the poor. Then theres still under consideration the National Sales Tax (VAT) of up to 25% on TOP of existing taxes on almost ALL that we purchase to pay for these entitlement programs. So the end result?

    ALL WILL PAY FAR MORE IN TAXES, TAXES, and MORE TAXES!

  • Whatever. You don't want to pay any taxes? You want lax gun laws so everyone carries? You want no Educational system, no Science Foundation? Arts? FDA regulation? Highway Dept? Move to Somalia and LIVE FREE! Some people want to improve our civilization and the Profit Motive is not our God! Children under 15 and old people are drains on the economy but retirees should be considered more valuable than their bank balances.

  • Jrub **It's what the PEOPLE want!**

    Latest polls show that..... 70% (MAJORITY) prefer Government that provides FEWER services with LOWER TAXES! 80% say that its LIKELY that the middle class will have to pay HIGHER taxes to pay for obamers socialistic programs!  SIMPLY

    LESS obamer

    LESS socialism

    LESS dictatorship

    LESS gov spending

    LESS taxation

    LESS prohibitions on businesses

    LESS control over our lives

    NO MORE deception & BS from obamer & the Democrats!

  • Dictatorship? Like Bush suspending Habeas Corpus?

    Control over our lives? Like freedom of Choice for women? Gay marriage? Medical marijuana?

    Slavery was a business that ended, was that bad?

    I know what Reps are against, it seems like they are only 'for' getting Americans to hate Americans.

  • This wrinkly bastard is still talking? When is his old ass gonna hurry up and die???

  • Actually, it's mostly because of losing independent support. Liberal support may be falling a little, but independent support is falling off a cliff.

  • well gusse what they dropped it fuck yea.

  • the confidence on his abilty to face this issue is diminishing thanks to your friends at fox and that stupid bitch you chose as VP talking nonsense and scaring people. true fucking patriot you are John McCain

  • The people spoke in November and the repugs lost, Pass the health care

  • Nom, the nation had Bush fatigue because he was terrible. But we independants do not want socialism, we are still center-right, and you misread us. We want Obama to keep world peace, and thats about it. You ram healthcare down our throats, and give those illegals amnisty next year, and you lose everything next year in the elections.

  • This country needs health care and we need the public option, The Insurance companies are assholes. They dropped me after 20 years of paying premiums Fuck the Insurance companies, They are nothing but a bunch of greedy fucks

  • affordable psychologists/psychiatrists to treat the nutjobs before they kill or hurt people.

    free psychology needs to be a part of the public option

  • That "just say no guy" is incredibly annoying, he in no way has the voice or charisma to be a public speaker.

  • this is obscene these bastards do nothing but work for their corporate masters.. they don't care for anybody but the elite

  • DEFEND YOUR RIGHT OF FREEDOM OF CHOICE!!

    AMERICANS seeking AFFORDABLE cars with BETTER GAS MILEAGE bought Japanese cars

    MILLIONS of REPUBLICANS own Japanese cars

    They were FREE TO CHOOSE

    But for MILLIONS of AMERICANS who were denied HEALTH COVERAGE or can't afford the HIGH PREMIUMS of Big Insurances---you have NO FREEDOM OF CHOICE!!

    REPUBLICANS want to DENY YOUR FREEDOM OF CHOICE to switch to a GUARANTEED & AFFORDABLE PUBLIC OPTION

    DEFEND YOUR RIGHT OF FREEDOM OF CHOICE!!

  • Thanks librophile! You always make so much sense and it is so refreshing! Have a great Sunday!

  • Bigtex501, just another yo-yo that thinks ACORN is just an entity that helps democrats, this is laughable folks and proves what will happen if you watch FAwX SnewZ (fairly unbalanced) you will not get the entire story. What Snewzy Faux doesn't want you to know is that it was the Messiah Saint Ronnie Reagan who gave Acorn their first MAJOR funding back in the 80's. Bigtex501 is still a little butt-hurt from his guy getting crushed in the election, poor baby.

  • LittleTex501 better go get some more marching orders from Faux News and the GOP, the ones they are giving him now are making him look like a total idiot.

  • Yes, Medicare and VA, do not allow you to eat fast food!

    You're right!

    If you eat fast food, you probably have to go before the DEATH PANEL?

    What a crock!

    Jesus loves rich CEO's who keep raping the middle class and the poor, doesn't he?

  • Jesus wouldn't want a public option. He wouldn'y want the 4,000 poor that die every month due to only lack of heathcare, to live, would he?

    Jesus is probably for the private insurers CEO's, getting a raise on their 11.5 million salaries?

    Jesus, probably don't want fast food employees or waitresses to have health care.

  • 1911, Hey, you're using the same "religious" desperation mode obamer's been using!  Are you liberals really that desperate?

    What's next? Al Gore saying... "obamer Care MUST be passed before we ALL DIE"? LOL

    BTY... Jesus wouldn't be much in favor of ALL the government waste that obamer and the Dems are using on Pork Barrel Projects from the 787 Billion Dollar "Stupidlus" Bill that most agree has done NOTHING to help the economy!

  • 1911, And on the "fast food" employees..... They'll need far more than "health care coverage"!

    They'll need NEW JOBS due to obamer Care forbidding anyone from eating "fast food" from ANY of those places and putting them OUT OF BUSINESS!

    More unemployment courtesy of obamer!

  • we don't want the PUBLIC OPTION!!!

  • 1. No illegals will be covered in this or any bill

    2. The cost will be under a trillion, check your facts

    3. Medicare is a godsend so all seniors don't mock it

    4. The bill hasn't been finalised

    5 Of course this has to be paid for so expect some kind of tax. We don't get something for nothing in this country

    6. Obam inherited this deficit. We almost lost this contry ecomomically. Programs are starting to work and the deficit will be reduced.

  • Fring

    I have indeed checked the "facts" and obamer's vote in the Senate, and his OWN statements are plenty!

    And I'll stick with the Congressional Budget Office's numbers over what you or other liberals say! Thanks!

    Medicare good for Seniors?

    Under rationing obamers going to use... Seniors KNOW that theyll be left out due to cutting costs as needed per the bill!

    The final bill?

    If it gets that far, well only have 6 hours to view it before passage just like the stupidlus bill!

  • We could have passed health care reform months ago if we did not have to deal the economic cluster fuck that the Republicans left us in. Acorn? Are you serious? Again, out of 400,000 employees, 2 have been convicted of voter REGISTRATION fraud. Not ONE (1) vote was cast illegally. The rest is meaningless. You are just pissed off that Acorn registered minorities, and we all know that they are intelligent enough not to vote for a Republican. Now grab your kleenex, wipe your tears, & quit whining!

  • Philli

    WRONG again!

    You could have passed ANYTHING months ago since you have complete control in Congress, but it's YOUR OWN party that says "obamer's socialistic programs are NO GOOD"! LOL STILL need to do a bit more research on ACORN and the massive fraud going on there! But I'm guessing too that you, like many liberals, oppose people having some type of photo ID to prove who they are & if they can legally vote! But then again, the Dems would loose SO MANY VOTES that way! LOL

  • OMG, your ignorance is pathetic. If you call 49 Democrats, 49 Republicans, and 2 Independents, (complete control of Congress), you are higher than I thought. I am a C-Span junkie and was watching Congress in action during the last 2 years of your friends bush's lame duck presidency. The ONLY thing worth while that passed was minimum wage. And the GOP only voted for that to try to scrap together a couple more votes. You are such a comedian! An ignorant comedian at that!

  • Phillip, You like to change subjects in midstream it seems! Oh well! lol The majority I was talking about is today! This year, obamer and the Dems could have passed ANYTHING they wanted but couldn't due to the Dems saying "obamer's socialistic programs are NO good"!

    But obamer's going to use the "nuclear" option of 51 votes instead of 60 if other Dems don't go along with him on this! And even that's questionable at best if obamer will even get THOSE votes! LOL

  • Reconsilliation is what it is called, and God Speed on that! This reform WILL pass! When you were talking about a majority, you were talking about the last two years of bushys presidency. Please, you have a hard enough time with the facts, please don't lie! I enjoy a good debate, but please be factual. If you don't answer my 2 easy little questions, it will prove to me and all my friends that you don't know what the fuck you are talking about. You have made that pretty clear so far!

  • Phillip, OH, another fun one for ya...

    Rasmussen.... 51% of voters rate their understanding of the health care plan as good or excellent! Only 21% say their understanding of it is poor. JUST 22% say Congress has a good or excellent understanding of the plan! (that's sad.... but probably true! LOL)

  • Then you'll have to read it. As far as rationing goes we already have rationing. Your insurance co. has been doing that for years. If your ins won't pay for a med or a proceedure that's needed to save your life that's rationing. That's been going o for years and you know that

  • Fringe, Some kind of TAX??? Well, finally someone admits we'll pay for this "freebie" H.C.!

    And currently being discussed in Congress, is the National Sales Tax (VAT) of up to 25% on TOP of existing taxes! Then there's the Cap & Trade hoax to generate MORE TAX income for obamer! And of course.... the TAX CUTS of Bush are about to expire so we'll have our taxes increased by default from obamer!

    obamer did indeed walk into a deficit, but not solely from Bush! In late 2007....

    (cont)

  • Look, if you make less the 250k a year you won't be taxed. As far as going back to pre-Bush taxes that's fine with me, we thrived in the 90's

  • Fringe, Under $250K no new taxes? Think again! Should Cap & Trade go through, you'll pay dearly for that and have virtually NO changes to the environment per Carlin with the EPA under obamer! And did you forget that members of Congress are discussing the National Sales Tax (VAT) of up to 25% in addition to current taxes being paid at the moment? Then we have the Democrats wanting to put additional taxes on consumables that THEY feel you shouldn't buy like Coke, Burgers, Fries, etc!

  • You can still buy a burger, fries and a coke. Whats your point? Oh by the way, you shouldn't be eating that shit anyways....gonna give you a heart attack! The national sales tax is bullshit though. I must agree. i say tax consumer items all day long (cigs, beer, fatty foods etc - that will help me quit smoking and eating shitty foods) but as far as income tax, that shit has to go.

  • Blug, The point? Well, only a liberal would have to be told this! LOL The point is the removal of OUR FREEDOMS to eat a hamburger if we want! And WHO are you to determine what we should eat? But let's use YOUR theory for a moment...ok? If people are getting killed in Auto Accidents each day.... then let's remove ALL AUTOMOBILES from the road and let people walk instead! That'll save lives! And.. you shouldn't be having SEX either...You'll get HIV or AIDS and die!

  • Actually, most people that die in auto accidents in America were not wearing their seat-belts. Are you against seat-belt laws?

  • Scerp The idea of a National Car Insurance Plan has been brought up as well from obamer! Then there's obamer's National Life Insurance Plan as well! And let's not forget the National Veterinary Insurance Plans obamer has Nancy Pelosi working on as well to cover ALL your pets to, obamer........ "to ensure that NO cat or dog will ever again go without Veterinary Coverage! Just think how that'll REALLY help the 9.4% UNEMPLOYED these days! NO jobs.. but PLENTY of Insurance! LOL

  • Dude are you drunk when you comment, National Car Insurrance was passed way before Obama

    And second, the unemployment rate was actually 8.1% but has surmised to 5.4% since Obama took office

    and 3rd there is no active Life Insurance Plan as of right now, they're talking about it, but no plan

  • Scerp, BTY.. heard about Al Gore's NEW theory??

    Al Gore...., " It's time that people wake up and realize that man is digging up too much dirt therefore making the Earth flat and increasing GLOBAL WARMING"!

    Gore continues, "I'm pressing obama & Congress to pass this new bill ""CAT & SPADE"" to stop tractors & people from digging around the world"!

  • Scerp,

    Cont

    In support of Al Gore, The National Science Association states, "excessive digging will change the Earths surface therefore flattening the land to where the sea will exceed the land masses just like the phenomenon of land falling into the sea in California."

    The NSA continues, "This also escalates the trend of GLOBAL WARMING caused by man by increasing distance of the surface to the core of the Earth therefore allowing the inner cores temperatures to escape to the surface!"

  • Dude what are you, some texas redneck that believes everything you see on the web? Digging in the Earth has nothing to do with Global Warming it has everything to do with the Sun, and the wobble of the Earth's rotation, and it's fixing to get worse after 2012 as the Earth will complete another polar cycle completely changing the Earth's climate worldwide

    2nd, the other reason why your statement is wrong is because of volcanoes where Magma escapes from the Earths core and released to the surface

  • actually, fossil fuels are just stored solar energy sequestered in the plants for millions of years and we are re-adding it to the atmosphere. More sunlight won't help, you are correct, but the added CO2 trapping those rays won't help either.

  • Scerp, (cont)

    The NSA concludes,

    "If nothing is done about this digging by man, the Earth's median temperatures could easily exceed 140 degrees by the year 2011 killing ALL inhabitants on the Earth."

    The CAT & SPADE bill supported by Democrats in Congress, admit that the CAT & SPADE bill will increase taxes but only on those with an income of $5,000.00 or more!

    obama commented by saying, "This is a frightening development and should be addressed immediately before we all die!"

  • Hey look I hate it too, but if we did nothing at all you and I would be on a soup line, Now that's putting it alittle harsh but it took 8 years to get here and more. 8 months a recovery doesn't make

  • Fringe Late 2007, the economists agree that the recession had begun! But during this time, the housing market (which was mostly under control of Barney Frank) bubble burst! Frank knew full well that there were problems with Fannie & Freddie, but said "all was fine"! Along with high petroleum prices, the economic collapse began! And... keep in mind.... the Democrats began their control of Congress once again in early 2007! But THEY did nothing but spend, spend, spend to fix things?

  • WTF bigtex? When Fannie was having problems, bushy was in office with the GOP in control of Congress. Barney Frank had NO control. Please do your research, you are pathetically mis-informed. You fucking Republicans got us in to this financial mess. Are you bitching that by the time the needless/illegal/immoral war in Iraq is all said and done, that little price tag will be 3 TRILLION. So, again, you sound ridiculous and stupid. And you were voted out for a reason!

  • Fringe, Programs starting to work? Like obamer's "Stupidlus" bill that he's used only 12% of and unemployment at 9.4%? GDP still in negative territory? Consumer confidence still falling? Deficit reduced? You need to listen more to what even obamer himself is saying... his latest estimates show the deficit projections at almost 10 TRILLION Dollars in 10 years. (he did admit he was off just 2 TRILLION initially on previous estimates! lol)

  • And you have to listen to what's happening now even though only 12 percent of stim has gone out. Because of the cash for clunkers act 4 auto plants that closed because of ressesion has now opened and has hired all their 4,000 people back. A auto plant just reopened,The new housing market has grown for the first time in 3 years. You have to give this pres time. 8 months does not erase 8 years of neglect.

    Oh and yes there will be a health care bill signed and delivered

  • Fringe You should look to see what the "12%" has been spent on. The Cash 4 Clunker's program was a temp program that gave temp jobs for maybe a month unless the Auto Indus. sees an increase in sales w/o C4C!

    Was the C4C program really all that good? It put MORE people in debt during tough economic times... and added 3 Billion dollars of Government spending to obamer's list of accolades! Where do you think the 3 Billion dollars for C4C will come from "IF" the dealers ever get paid?

  • "It put MORE people in debt....".  That's economic growth buddy. I hate to break it to you but our global economy is run on credit (which equals debt).

  • The Cash 4Clunkers just opened and hired back over 2,000people and has reopened 2 car factories. also 1 factory that makes car winshields. The reports are saying that they can't make cars fast enought to keep up with the demands since the whole inventory was sold. Also A rubber plant has also reopened and hired back 500. Sure there are big problems but to clean up a mess will take a long time

  • Fringe The housing market has grown????

    Think again....

    CNBC (obamer buddies) 8/20/09 Sales of new homes are down 72% from their 2005 peak, while existing ones are off 24% from their peak a year later. As a percentage of total sales, new homes are well off their historical average of roughly of 12.5% and the 16% average share of the 2005-2006 boom period. (Then Barney Frank took over in early 2007!) In 2008, market share was down to 10% & is running under 8% so far this year.

  • Why would anyone want a plan that NO ONE has read? If Obama came out and asked all dems and repubs to read his proposal during their recess and come back with some serious discussions for or against it, do you think the people would feel a little better about it? But because he rammed down everyones throat, people don't trust him.

  • If the Republicans were so fucking interested in healthcare reform, why didn't they do anything about it? They have had plenty of time, so lets move on without them! Pronto!

  • Phillip, If the Democrats were so interested in H.C. Reform.... they could have passed it MONTHS ago! But it's your OWN Democrat Party that's keeping it from happening!

    Nice try.. but you can't blame it on ANYONE else but your OWN party! LOL

  • The bigger picture, other than Obama, is the the congress men and woman, selling out our country !! Obamas Czars are a big issue. Mark lloyd, The fcc chairmen. Investigate these people yourselves and then make your own conclusion on where this country is headed !!!!!! Van Jones "THE GREEN CZAR". John Holdren"science czar" you make the call !!!!

  • i bet bigtex501 touches himself sexually everytime McBush talks. Dude sounds like another republitard lackey. I don't really care what John McSame has to say because he isn't the President, and THANK GOD he is not! he would have the this Country in great depression if he was. Thank god for President Obama!

  • Stop making liberals look bad.

  • I am not liking Obama much lately but between him and the RepubliKKKan party I will stick with Obama. I just hope he pulls a rabbit(and a SPINE)out of his hat and gets the Public Option through.

  • 666B, Hey, great comment! You've made some really good points there to support obamer's plans! And I like your reference to that page in H.R. 3200 on obamer's plans for.....

    Oh wait.... you didn't read it did you...

    Oh well! LOL

    Another obamer supporter that has no substance to her support of obamer! lol

  • Questions that they DO NOT want you to ask!

    Why will obamer include illegal immigrants in the H.C. Bill?

    Will the costs to the Taxpayers be less than 2 Trillion dollars?

    Why is obamer putting us into a H.C. plans that is nothing more than Medicare enhanced even more?

    Why is obamer and the Dems in Congress NOT reading the bill they want to pass so bad?

    Why will people that choose NOT to pay for ANY coverage need to pay more in TAXES?

    HOW COULD obamer be off $2 Trillion on the DEFICIT?

  • Illegal immigrants are NOT covered. They will continue to use the emergency room for their primary medical needs. After the cluster fuck Iraq war is over, that little price tag will be 3 TRILLION. So, what is 1.5 Trillion over 10 years to insure your fellow Americans. I know, I know, you want YOUR tax dollars to go to the MIC to kill people.

  • Phillip, Wrong once again! LOL

    Their use of the Emergency rooms has been part of the escalating costs that drive the Insurance Industry to charge MORE to the Legal citizens!

    You don't seem to mind that, do you?

    And like those in Texas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Florida (to name a few)..... many come across the borders to get their "free" H.C. and then return home!

    However.... How does obamer feel about this and does he support FREE H.C. to illegals?

    (cont)

  • Phillip (cont) YES.... obamer does fully intend to cover illegal aliens!

    As shown on CBS NEWS......

    obamer...... "First of all, I'd like to create a situation where we're dealing with illegal immigration, so that we don't have illegal immigrants," he said. (Amnesty for illegals!) "And we've got legal residents or citizens who are eligible for the plan. And I want a comprehensive immigration plan that creates a pathway to achieve that."

    But there's more.....

  • You want to sound like you know a lot about illegal immigration. Answer these questions:

    1. How many illegal immigrants have brown skin? 2. Are illegal immigrants a drain on our state and federal government? Now, if you answer these questions correctly, maybe we can have an adult conversation about immigration reform. Otherwise, you will simply be just another GOP racist.

  • Phillip, Obamer ..."I think that if they are illegal, then they should not be able to work in this country. That is part of the principle of comprehensive reform, which were going to crack down on employers who are hiring them and taking advantage of them!"

    BUT THEN.....obamer votes NO to....

    S Amdt 4231 to S Con Res 70: To establish a deficit-neutral reserve fund for border security, immigration enforcement, and criminal alien removal programs!

    (obamer... do make up your mind!)

  • After 8 long nightmarish years of watching a complete & catistrophic failure of a GOP administration, were you lobbying YOUR leaders to enact reform? Or did you wait until the Democrats took over to voice your xenophopic views? Answer honestly now! Just for the record I live in Southern California, (Ya, we are in debt thanks to our "Republican" leader). Oh, I also work in construction and am very well informed about the illegal immigration issue. So, cowboy up bigtex and start stating facts!

  • Phillip..

    Other obamer "votes"

    Voted "YES" to funding for social services for non citizens. (obamer co-sponsored this bill)

    Voted "NO" to declaring English as the official language of the US government.

    Voted "YES" on continuing federal funds for declared "sanctuary cities".

    Voted "YES" allowing illegal aliens to participate in Social Security.

    Voted "YES" on giving Guest Workers a path to citizenship.

    (now this is a good one finally!) But there must be a "guest worker" program 1st!

  • Again, why didn't the Republicans do anything about immigration reform when they were in control? Because the don't have any balls! Thats why! Too busy killing innocent civilians and spending our tax dollars on the MIC! STFU, you barely make any sense.

  • When you see people like Bigtex501 trying so desperately to keep you from visiting my profile you should ask why it is that he sees it as such a threat.

  • Shut up you left wing extremist. You spue garbage out of your mouth and expect us to listen to you? You're a biased piece of shit and have no clue what you're talking about. It's insane that people subscribe to this shit.
