The House tries to pass Obamacare in a big hurry, breaking how many Constitutional rules/regulations??
FOX news coverage can be seen online at http://www.blinkotv.com/ (select "HD Test")
The future? We have no future.
Hang them now.
Always the same old sweet stupid song!
BUT COMPASSION IS NOT STUPIDITY OR BRIBERY.
Real compassion is smart and fair and face reallity driving to individual and collective progress
You're right though I hadn't thought of it that way.
I have to wonder if they've been promised that their families will never have to go on gov't care. How else could they pass something like this knowing that their daughter could unnecessarily die of breast cancer or their son of prostate cancer, all the tests that will eventually be rationed because their only goal will be to save money.
Exact opposite of current system where their goal is to make money so they run the tests and catch much of it in the earliest stages.,/p>
God help us!
The mantra is now- "Live Long & P*ss-poor!"
WTH
The trials at Nuremburg will be small compared to the ones necessary after this travesty and treason.
To join Medicaid you must meet income guidelines. Many people cannot get Medicaid because they make too much money. But at the same time they don't make enough money to buy health insurance.
Now THAT is funny.
And sadly true.
Strech Pelosi speaking...fear not, my friends. Remember, it's a good thing if the House passes this bill today. The bill will still get held up by the Senate or in conference, and the Blue Dogs will get branded for voting for this Statist bill -thus paving the way for the Republicans to re-take the House.
AND a chicken in every pot AND a car in every garage AND a mule AND 40 acres, by golly by gum!!!

Go hang out at Democratic Underground or Daily Kos and lurk, and you’ll get an education—REAL FAST. Talk about racists and intolerant morons!

Dang! That’ a good spin. I hope you’re right because I’m very depressed right now. I would like to have seen it killed tonight and dead for 10 more years.
Because a few have problems, they are destroying our entire healthcare system. It's no more than an excuse, there were about a billion ways to take care of those people without trampling our freedom and killing our economy.
No one, and I mean no one even Democrats, can possibly believe they are doing anything good with this monster.
Precisely. Don't forget that the "priviledged few" have their own Cadillac health care plan. And that amendment that supposedly "forced" them to go on what ever plan is enacted states that is a voluntary move. They can stay with what they have till they die.
“Neo-Conservative”
normally, liberal/left-libertarian pejorative code for “Jew” or “Jew-lover(s)”
That is the second time I have noticed your use of the term, this ‘go-round’ applied more broadly and generally to the entirety of this website and therefore ostensibly, to the majority of those members who frequent and post here.
Some “neo-cons” are self-defined as such, and let them be who they are, as they are.
This site is NOT by/of/for a list of political positions which constitute a checklist of neocon beliefs, and you make such a judgment at risk of marginalizing yourself and making any/all of your future postings inherently suspect.
Here at FR, most of us support Israel in general terms. Not as an unqualified, they-can-do-no-wrong kind of blanket acceptance of any/all political/military choices Israel exercises, but simply as opposed, for example, to the broad, pan-arab muslim camp which ludicrously ascribes the palestinian problem and all other mid-east problems to Israel and her doings.
Simply put: the muzzies will not be “happy” until/unless Israel as a state no longer exists, and that, because thay have succeeded in murdering most or all of the Jewish people.
You have some stones on you essentially taunting longtime FReepers and baiting so many by calling FR a “NeoCon” site...
Which is neither a wise, nor recommended course of action. Also not factually accurate, personally tolerant, or generally defensible.
In general, FReepers are (by simple majority) Christian (but quite tolerant of Judaism), pro life, pro American military, supportive of the War On Terror, fiscally conservative, in favor of significantly more limited gov’t - both legal powers and spending habits, and morally conservative (anti gay marriage and not supportive of “same-sex” unions or state-provided benefits for same sex partners.
We may or may not be split on the finer points of “nation building” and how it is defined and who gets to define it...We may also be at odds periodically over how to define and determine when US military intervention/action is required or wise, but we do not differ muc on the notion of how we should give an account of ourselves when we fight.
When we choose to go to battle, the objective is to win by overwhelming conquering, subjugating - our enemy. It is in order to either destroy them, or to inflict so much damage and so many casualties on them that we extract their unconditional surrender.
We loathe politicians who dither about and/or politicize what should be, decision-making by military commanders only.
We love our guns and how well they serve to protect our Constitution - our right to speak freely, to assemble together, and to worship as we choose - to possess life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
If you want to call those principles “NeoCon” then I pity you. Your stay on FR will be both short and uncomfortable
A.A.C.
No thanks, time is too precious for that type of “education.”

I went there, took the questionnare and after 73(!) questions it told me I may be eligible for 9 types of assistance (all related to HUD). LOL
