This is what the great George Putnam referred to as “Fabian Socialism” — a process by which the enemies of liberty satisfy themselves with small but incremental steps towards full blown conquest.

These nitwits pay $600 for a hammer and $1,200 for a toilet seat and we're supposed to let them decide what's a fair price for health care insurance?

Really?

I think a lot of American’s might welcome a “trigger option” here...but perhaps not QUITE what the clowns are thinking!!!

[Kakaze]

Just once, I would love to hear a politician say........we do not need any bills this year, in fact we are going to review and remove old bills.

These people think they need laws just to prove they are working.

[muawiyah]

These are all “trigger words”.

[Tarpon]

Bats in the belfry comes to mind.

These WDC politburo people are so full of themselves they can’t see that America does not want rulers. They want representatives. They want something that might be good for America, for a change.

Excellent example of the IQ of the ME voter

[Obadiah]

Yeah, I got your trigger option for ya!

[Carley]

Trigger this!!!!

It's very often darkest right before it goes pitch black.

Also be aware that in an effort to avoid paying $600 for a hammer, they tend to put in massive layers of overhead and cost verification which ratchets up costs to unbelievable levels -- but, dammit, those hammers are just $15! Whoo-Hoo!

The government just doesn't do things well. There are a few things, like National Defense, where they are the only game in town, so we need to have government do the task. But Health care? Why should the government do that? And why does anyone think they would do it well?

The Trigger Option, Olympia Snowe version:

[Obadiah]

"Trigger"

[IbJensen]

The homely traitor, Snowe and her little pal Susan need to switch parties. They’re clearly aligned with the Communist-Democrat Party.

[paulycy]

Stuff your plan and the Trigger you rode in on.

[IbJensen]

I’ll bet you’d like to have that nose filled with Krugerrands.
