Traitor Roberts got that moniker for a reason.

This famous statue of Lenin stands in Seattle's Fremont neighborhood in the 7th Congressional District, represented for a few weeks more by Baghdad Jim.

It’s not “American” not to force individual citizens to purchase an insurance policy whether they want to or not? Maybe in McDermott’s fevered imagination “American” means “dictatorial” - with him it would explain so much.

I wonder what that is made of. And what kind of chemicals would eat through it.

Standard bronze statuary brought over from Russia as a trophy of the Cold War. Some people see it as a conversation piece, and others take it seriously.

It's only been six years! That makes it "American?"

Hey voters, McDermott wants the government to continue forcing you to buy insurance.

The individual mandate’s existence is un-American. As is the rest of the horrid, misbegotten, misnamed “Affordable” “Care” Act.

For a Seattle communist like McDermott, absolutely.

The only mandate needed is one forbidding healthcare professionals from spreading the costs of treating the uninsured to people who have coverage.

Subsidize the poor and you will get more of them.

Free food, free housing, free healthcare, free transportation, free cell phones, free income, etc.

Who wants to work?

It's bronze. Acids tend to attack metals, generally.

Urine is acidic.

I am not responsible for whatever you may choose to do with that information.

I’ll be nice, and just reiterate he’s Democrat, therefore a lip flapper.

With all due respect to Rep. McDermott, low-information McDermott does not seem to understand the following.

Since the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate healthcare purposes, he violated his oath to protect and defend the Constitution when he voted for Obamacare.
