ONCE had good health care. Quality of health care not to mention affordability have been declining dramatically, in case you hadn't noticed, and just because things are working out in your household doesn't mean they are for everyone else. And don't try to pull the old "they aren't working hard enough" "poor personal choices" "want something for nothing" b.s. There are a lot of hard working people who pay heavy premiums for health plans that still will yield 5 or 6 figure bills, and possible dropping of coverage, in the event of a serious illness or accident. Even the most fiscally responsible person can't absorb an incident like that. NOt to mention all the problems with denial of coverage. I cannot believe you seem to think this is not a problem. My main issue like anyone with this bill is whether is really is affordable for the country. The general accounting office (or whatever, I forget, the nonpartisan one) says it will reduce the deficit. I'm skeptical, but we'll see. My ideology? My ideology is nothing more than I believe that in a country like this that everyone should have equal opportunity to access health care at a rate that each person can afford according to their income. Nothing for free, but no one being left in the gutter.

FW, what do you think of the fact that the pundits driving the debate on the conservative side, a la Beck, etc., feel it necessary to remind their listeners not to use violence, "yet"? That one is reminding their listening audience not to kill people if they lose politically. How proud they must be to have this demographic as their audience. But for sensible conservatives, I would think this would be insulting and deeply disturbing. Today Palin spoke of "taking back OUR country". If you are sensible and believe in a unified country, I would suggest that the first thing sensible conservatives need to do is take back their party from the raving lunatics. Apparently David Frum is now a libtard, as are most of George HW's and Reagan's old advisors. Who are these people speaking for the other side now?

Not surprised. He's a politician. That 3000% claim was hyperbole. Not everyone is going to love this, and there is much not to love about it. But it is a process that can and should continue to evolve and amend as time goes on. I said it before, at least we are moving on it and we can work towards something that will provide equal opportunity for everyone. Let's see where AT+T and others are in two years. Right now, people who have benefitted all along are naturally throwing a fit. They might have reason. We'll see.

Spilled anyone's blood on that tree, yet?

You on the same flight with Rush? He would be, but there's no room on the flight- weight restrictions, and all...

Shit. Didn't work for me. I got "Extreme Rush Experience" and "Ann Coulter" WTF is right!

I'm looking at an ad at the top of the cc.com sponsor bar for $49 Rolex's right now! WTF? Me too! Too funny. Coincidence? This site has been hacked!

More than Obama and Clinton combined. Wow, that's pretty tyrannical to top both of those tyrants. You're pretty far Above the Law! Nothing wins an argument more effectively than a good personal attack.

http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/03/24/congress.threats/index.html?hpt=T2 No comment, at least not until Fairweather uses an unspecified ChoadaBoy threat to defend this as "refreshing the tree of liberty". Anyway, viva la revolucion de hombres blancos!

Please define poor. A typical level of your brain functions.

I can hear it now, with her annoying voice narration to visuals of pristine scenery: "Alaska...land of endless opportunities...millions of acres of forest just waiting to be cut down...thousands of crystal clear lakes and salmon-rich rivers ready to receive untold quantities of toxic mining wastes- no need for pesky feely-good cleanup operations or spendy disposal! Only those gosh darn natives are out there to complain, but they ain't 'real Americans' now are they? Alaska...a limitless supply of exotic and wild animals, all waiting to feel your bullets tearing through them in the course of making men out of boys. Who needs Viagra? Alaska...you can practically feel the rumble of oil beneath your feet-that's no earthquake! You betcha, that oil is just sooo excited to come spurtin' out of the ground...kinda like sum boyz I use'ta meet out behind Wasilla High back in '85! Kyu-kyu! Like I did, we should oblige and release that pressure. We don't want the earth to get blue balls, do we? Alaska...the land where folks come to skate by, hide out, and contribute as little as possible to society. You can't be too fat or too dumb up here, no sir! Alaska...an untamed landscape that begs to be exploited, an opportunists dream! A land of quaint, funky villages of trailers, patched together lean-to's, abandoned snow machines, 4 wheelers, and rusted appliances, supplied by vibrant cities with architecture that hearken to the glorious 1970's and the inception of the strip malls we've come to love. Alaska- what are you waiting for? Don't cut that mullet!

So this Ruth trip- it'll just be you and a couple of your favorite hookers?

Ok. Ok. I get it. Do up the door!

Nice belay, Taylor. Are you gonna free the whole pitch?

Actually Sarah won't need to leave, the new Death Panels will take care of her.

ZJ? Que es esto?

Beck will also be beating off in the lavatory with a picture of Sarah, in between lines. Did you see his creepy interview with her?

As soon as the find a flight with three open seats together so he can fit.

As I stated before, I am glad to see an attempt at moving this issue in the right direction; on the other hand I'm not convinced it is really doing much if anything to address the real problem of costs and institutional issues. Therefore what I fear is being forced to buy expensive and inadequate coverage in the future. Before FW chimes in with a "told you so", this sentiment diverges from the Republican proclamation that the bill stinks because our health care system "is the best in the world" and it works great for those who can afford it and aren't already sick. My hope is that by getting more citizens insured and with continuing debate the reform process will continue to evolve according to what proves to work and what doesn't; this shouldn't by any means be the last word on this and I do hope- probably futile- that the R's will join the reality that the train is moving and will try to contribute meaningful content rather than childish obstruction and hysterical exaggeration and mischief. It won't help them or the country.

it beats nitpicking typos You failed to capitalize "It". And you forgot the period.

i could care less what rob said or what your motivation was for posting his mustacheness - my point was it's ironic that you hold in contempt a man who's central fucked up idea, that only some people are worthy of life, you also appear to be in agreement with Hey Ivan, The least I expect from a schoolteacher is for them to know that a preposition is something you should never end a sentence with. yeah - i noticed that little pearl was fucked about 10 seconds after i posted it - then figured the surest sign you've gone roudn the bend is when you start parsing your spray for its forking grammar Can we get back to some real insults, you horse fuckers? STFU NOOB?

Except for Bush's "mandate" to "spend some political capital" in 2004. You were cool with that if I recall. But maybe next time the Republicans take the Executive office you can rally to cancel future elections, since they're inconvenient when you lose them.

Raindawg should have an interesting view on this...
