Please, I would not wish any part of Pelosi on anyone!
--------------------
Please Political Jesus,
Make the headache of Health Care Reform and BO's obsession with it go away.:rolleyes:

Well, they did it. They did it at 10:30pm on Sunday. All the arm twisting, deals, bribes and threats worked I guess.
Remember this day America. And my dear Hannah.... Please forgive us.

*** ETA BONUS! We get to pay for the lady who wants to be a half ton!!! WOO HOOO!!!!
Hooray for enabling mediocrity!!!
Don't ask her for her forgiveness yet.
We get off the floor and keep fighting. How can you lose when you look into her eyes and say, "I tried."
Beats the hell outta telling here you stayed on the floor.:eek:

We still have to 'clean house' and there are some legal challenges that have been tossed about regarding this bill.
I passed up the tube today because I knew all the morons would be gloating and patting themselves on the back.
LOL, I could 'write' in my votes for the next few years.
The letter "D" just ain't gonna cut it.
Yeah, I read it on Yahoo this afternoon.:rolleyes:
Bravo!
Bravo indeed... LOL
So, you are OK with the government having the precedent of being able to FORCE you to buy things?
Oh yeah, one more quick thing....
The last couple of votes were bought with a Executive Order. That order said that there would be no federal funding of abortion.
Wait... So the President can just modify the law of the land, on his own, with no oversight? THERE's a neato precedent.
Bravo!
I have no problem with having to buy insurance. If you cannot afford it you can sign up for Medicaid.
I welcome the ability to buy coverage in the event I don't have coverage at work.
I support the new Heathcare laws. I am far from alone with this opinion. I just don't have a loud mouth.

Well, I guess there is not much else I can say then. If you are OK with the government telling you how to live your life.... No whining when they FORCE you to do something you don't like.
You might be far from alone... But you ARE heavily outnumbered. By people who know and understand history and what this really means.
If you cannot afford it now, could you not get Medicade, now anyway? Do you really know what this bill does?
NOt only that?
The Supreme court refused to put a cap on Pain and Suffering awards in medical court cases.
LOLOLOLOL,
Read thru 2k worth of pages AFTER THE fact.

NP and her cronies were probably delirious.:D
NP clearly was. Did you notice her facial expression as she walked w/her huge gavel? Aside from the fact that she didn't have to do that and could've saved herself from hearing what "the people" had to say, she had that glassy-eyed look and the painted smile on her face.
This is why I trust no politician. If they had come right out and said "We know the people don't want this but we do, so it's going to become law", I still wouldn't have respect for them but at least it would demonstrate that transparency that they love to bandy about as though it actually exists. But oh no. They keep saying that they hear the people. Really? Did they not hear the protestors shouting "Kill the bill" and "We will remember"? Were they not aware of the polls that showed the majority of people didn't want this? Yes, they were aware. They chose to ignore it all b/c they wanted it or b/c they were pressured into it. God forbid it should damage Obama's presidency. :mad:
LOL, that's the most wood she's held in her hand, in years. Dare i say orgasmic?
Just did.

Here's another effer that passed under the radar.
The med companies now have a 12 year buffer from the challenges of having a generic drug put on the market.
---------------
My mom had a wonderful saying for times like this.
Por el culo de el? Le miran el sol!
Lol, that should replace one of the most feared procedures on the planet.:D

I plan on going bareback when I vote next time.
Nothing but the best for my reps!
I still don't understand how forcing people who can't afford to buy insurance now to buy it or face a big fine is such a wonderful idea? Am I missing something? When did we become a dictatorship? :confused:
Back in the '80s the Houston Astros had a pitcher named J.R. Richard.
This dude was like 5 foot 20 inches tall and was a commading pitcher.
He ended up having a stroke when he was 30 years old and never pitched in the major leagues.
That season I went to a ball game and there were some OBNOXIOUS Houston fans sitting behind us.
They started to talk crap about Houston not winning the division and the only reason my team was going to win was because of that.
I turned around and told him that if that is the way we were going to win the division, we didn't want it.
Some people want to win at all costs and have no qualms about running roughshod over the losers and will bend the ear of anyone one that will listen.
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

What refund? Haven't had one in years and years.
They are planning on raiding the SS trust fund to help pay for all this. Only problem is, they raided that after 9/11 and never paid it back. Guess we will all be moving in the White house with the Pres soon. :rolleyes:
It went where "projections" always go, into the trash can or down to the market for use as fish wrapper.
Politicians lie. To each other, about each other, and against each other, especially when campaigning.
Long term economic projections are nice targets, but in reality they're useless.
LOL, now to see how the dimbulbs are going to end the war.
Let's see how they react to a population they have no control over?
On second thought,
Who cares about the soldiers?:eek::rolleyes::(:o
The first federal "intervention" into health care was in.....1798? At that time the Merchant Marine Services Act taxed employers of merchant seaman to ensure sailors get medical care.
Those Founding Fathers! What were they thinking???:)
It charged the seamen who opted to use the service $.20 per month, not the employers.
It charged the seamen who used the service.
The seamen had to work to get the service.
Also, at the time, the merchant marine was considered the wartime reserve for the Navy (look up the reasons for supporting fisheries discussed at the time of the revolution), so it was, in a way, the predecessor to the VA.
By the way, Pres. Obama, what happened to 5 days of public review of any bill before signing?
Do you even KNOW what's in the bill? I know there are members of Congress who don't, and they voted for the damned thing, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if the President hasn't read the thing. There were people howling mad last night at work when they found out their FSA accounts are getting cut in half.
