Democrats might be a lot of things, however, they're not fascists. When Dems get power, you often see more freedom in general. When stanch conservatives get power, you see less with stout Fascism. The reason? Rational arguments or dissent against policy issues are terribly American things that sound arguments can easily withstand. But when your arguments are stupid, irrational, can't be explained, & suck; it makes the holder upset. Instead of having to convince you, they bully you

[Bolgernow]

@TheAffrontedAmerican if that were the case, why didn't the Dems ram through EVERYTHING? Single payer healthcare reform instead of what we got? Tax cuts repeal/let them expire, & virtually every Cap & Trade issue, bank regulation, & ever other equal rights legislation law they could including gay marriage? They didn't. Please explain that...

Man that guy was probably pissed off for crumbling the paper like that.

This is good. Let him piss of republican seniors and possible tea party members. See what happens.

FASCIST!!!!!!!

@xuserx2000 that I did not know. But it makes sense if true...

[Bolgernow]

@xuserx2000 so true. Single payer when polled as individual items did fantastic at almost 80% or better. But when big insurance does a smear campaign against any government program, it gets stupid people to believe factually incorrect things that aren't true. FOX is a prime example of a campaign disinformation arm of the GOP

[TheAffrontedAmerican]

Haha that's creepy, just saying.

[xuserx2000]

@genie0390 - ...right, and yet, here you are.

...as to financial ruin, what the F are you even talking about?.....i'm talking about hospital bills retard, not infidelity.

@xuserx2000

if you were up to speed you wouldn't be commenting on a video weeks old, get a life

as to financial ruin, I have seen financial ruin as a result of husbands/wives fucking around, families destroyed, children hurt

[xuserx2000]

@Bolgernow - The insurance MANDATE... is the one REPUBLICAN contribution to health care reform.

Conservatives often like to forget policies that they themselves supported....before they were against it.

[xuserx2000]

@Bolgernow - the majority of the country was all for single payer or public option or even universal...until Republicans started in with their ridiculous "death panel" bullsht, and turned health care reform into a pssing match and a political liability for everyone involved. Public opinion is fickle...Republicans prove it every election, they didn't have time to do what everyone elected them to do by the time the disinformation set in and everyone started getting wishy washy...
