You seriously have no idea what ur talking about. 80% of the american people support the public option. There would be riots if they DIDNT pass it. Have a heart attack already old man, nobody wants ur srry ass around any more.

delay delay delay. Get to it, you corrupt lazy pansy asses!

[jasonsadventure]

ah, wait.

they have done this before haven't they? i mean, this is not the first time they've finalized legislation and needed it scored before voting on it, is it?

I'm a democrat all the way & i'd LOVE universal healthcare, but Kent Conrad is definately a liar. you can just tell by looking at him

I like how some goof ball is typing away on her blackberry while Sen. Conrad is talking

Do you seriously think that these basterds have your best interest at heart?!? Their one and only goal is to screw the people they are nothing but con-artists that play the foolish masses against each other using a false left-right paradigm. The politics you watch on the news are no different then watching the WWE it's all staged.

Baucus thinks he's got himself a clever analogy there...we're in a "box," apparently.

Q: "What's the Box?"

A: Uhh...the thing set under the guillotine, for catching yr head?

Pompous, disingenuous asshole "A" with 640,000 people in his ENTIRE STATE, & pompous disingenuous asshole "B", with 970,000 people in his ENTIRE STATE scapegoating the CBO bean counter (w/ the inevitably flawed computer model) as the latest ploy to strenuously serve up the healthcare lobbyists' their 'druthers.

You can't read it unless you have the Annotations/codes and other abritrarily placed Literature, Purposely Put into Complex jargon that A lawyer would need Help Deciphering. H.R. 3200, I read it. Thanks, Big Bro, for putting you best "GUYS" on the bill. We are indebt to you for Infiuencing/Manipulating every Aspect of our Lives. God Bless Corporate Facism...... I mean Democracy!!!

How do you know its full of tyranny if you have not read it yet?

[animeownage86]

A ten thousand page bill loaded with tyranny that no one is allowed to read until just before the voting, also time is needed to threaten or bribe everyone into voting for something in which they have no idea what's in it.... stupid fools sign away our future because of blind faith in the government and greed. and of course the sheep will cheer when a bill which all they know about comes from the government owned media passes. Look into the Baxter avian flu mix up then tell me you trust them.

Abortion is not murder- if it was, a bunch of OB/GYNs would be in jail.

And I don't really understand the arguments against abortion, because they're all arguments based on your religion. But if you can't even prove your god exists, and other gods do not exist, why should I give a flying fuck what your "god" thinks?
