The people who think the President is trying to steal their freedom are simply IDIOTS.

All of you idiots should go live in an entirely privatized society somewhere else. You can elect Dick Armey to be the president then you dumb asses can see what corruption really looks like.

...idiots...

To all Obama Critics: What is wrong with you, guys? The only thing you are doing is complaining, NO ONE of you brings up suggestions, ideas for solutions, NO ONE! The only thing you can do is bashing on a hard working man who tries his best to help. Obama stands for change. The american people voted for change. And that's what's happening now, change. You should stop being afraid and give it a chance. None of the previous models worked out, alternatives deserve a chance.

@ZsTARR64 God,you have to be the most long-winded little runt weasle I've ever seen.Look,if I see you at the polling place in 2012 trying to vote for obama I'm gonna beat the crap out of you.OK?

[ZsTARR64]

@rw5791 So, because I don't agree with... well, I'm not sure what you're point was. All I see is that you keep making these ominous and/or hateful replies which have absolutely no bearing on this debate, well, if you can call it a debate. By the way, you provided absolutely no reasoning for what you just said. Are you pissed because I don't agree with you? I'm going to go ahead and leave before this turns into some childish squabble. By the way, you spelled "personnel" wrong.

[rw5791]

@ZsTARR64 the really scary thing is that you get to vote for the next president of the united states.Personally,I feel the voting age should be raised to 25 except for military personell.

[ZsTARR64]

@rw5791 Also, what is wrong the bill(aside from the tax), as its not communist(You can still go to non government owned hospitals and get insurance). Besides, at least Obama tried to do something, and if Republicans have hosted such a great host of ideas, then why hasn't anything changed, huh? Also, I asked for examples of republican solutions, not some bullshit that you pulled out of you rascist ass! All you're concerned about is throwing a freaking temper tantrum, I mean, what are you, eight?

[ZsTARR64]

@rw5791 Okay, I think it would be better if they eliminated social security(as it's just an excuse used by the government to screw us over, your never going to see that money) so that we don't to pay an idiotic and useless tax AND were not all up to our balls in Insurance and hospital bills. The new health bill adds a tax, sure, but if you don't have to pay insane hospital and insurance bills it kind of balances out, hell, you may be paying less in the end.

[rw5791]

@ZsTARR64 so instead of getting screwed over by insurance companies we can get screwed over by obama?It's actually a good thing what obama has done because this obamacare fiasco will ensure that he's a one term president,and a miserable one at that.

[ZsTARR64]

@rw5791 No, It took me a week to check my inbox because I have more important things to worry about than an idiot who can't keep up a relevant argument. Even though you keep saying that it doesn't change the fact that you pulled it out of your ass, and by the way, the point behind the health care plan is to keep people from getting screwed over by Insurance companies that can set their prices as high they want to because they work together and with hospitals to make sure they empty your wallet.

[rw5791]

@ZsTARR64 It took you a week to come up with the wrong answer?

[ZsTARR64]

@rw5791 Okay, we don't give free healthcare to anyone who isn't legally a U.S. citizen, you pulled that out of your ass.
