You guys that are barking about what is or isn't in the "Obamacare" bill do realize that there are in fact several bills under consideration and that none of them were written by the Obama administration, right?

[jasonsadventure]

no, i'm not blind, your angry, cynical and deluded. who, except right-wing ideologues give a crap about tort reform?

what an absolute pile of worthless crap that a bunch of utterly angry, bigots use when they need something to shout about.

and how much more free market power do you want to give to health care giants so they can more systematically take more of our money to deny life saving treatments, procedures and medications when we actually need it.

sorry bro, but you are a fool

You may have enough craftiness and celebrity status to convince millions of innocent people of your socialism, but this is America. Is the economy recovering? I don't see anything happening. Haven't you learned your history? People who tried what you are trying, failed.

Are you fired up ? You blew 10 million in Nebraska and Blanche Lincoln still won.

No, it wouldn't have occured to them, because there was no such thing even as healthcare (modern medicine wasn't).

But there were roads to build - for all to use. The advantages of a common currency.. etc.

"Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of a day. But a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period, and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers (administrations), too plainly proves a deliberate systematic plan of reducing us to slavery." - Thomas Jefferson

His first draft is one to read. There are many reading that follow the cross sections of our founders agreement to create a limited Government.

Provide laws to restrict govt power.

You're not being an independent thinker, you're ascribing to group-think. You are refusing to bend your thinking in the slightest and are so sure of yourself that you chose a name to reflect that racist belief that's been around for several thousand years. You ascribe to a dogma: "Jews are evil". I'm merely challenging that heavily biased belief and suggesting an alternative: cooperation, tolerance, and open-mindedness.

Yes, the morals of the people. If the government does not live up to the standards expected by the people then they will be voted out. The revolutionaries knew how terrible a thing civil war is, so that's why you celebrate the 'peaceful transaction of power' on inauguration day. The constitution also allowed for slavery, but that changed. The role of govt. has changed many times in your country - the idea that it could provide for the health of its citizenry would not have occurred to a founder.

"Fear and bigotry are going to make your kids unemployable in an adult work world where they compete for jobs with the rest of the globe -- as if a lack of critical thinking and education won't do that, too."

The declaration of Independence states we are free from the monarch.

You know if I were to create a government, I think I would put that protection in there....O wait duh...Our Constitution's strength was the morals of our people. Constitution also outlines governments rolls and By no means is it BIGGOVT.  Tyranny is not built in but created out of misinterpretation of ROL and rights. Aspirations of freedom compound as the ideals do.

Well a big FU right back. Hope you don't have any kids.
