Iremember so many bills in the Senate under George Bush being passed with the help of democrat Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut ONLY and how the republicans would say at their pressers, “This was a bipartisan bill!”. Well, we now have a republican “Joe Lieberman” in the U.S. House named, Rep. Joseph Cao of Louisiana, who helped the historic health care reform bill to pass!
Wow. Feels so good to have republican support on this bill, doesn’t it?!!! Thank you republicans for putting aside your anger and disrespect to do the right thing for the American people! /s
Now that republicans have helped to pass historic Democratic legislation in the House, it will go into Committee and then onto the Senate for a final vote. Woohoo!!!!! Go republicans go! Thanks so much for all of your help!
I love Congressman Mike Michaud of Maine! Here’s what he said in his latest press release on the historic health care reform vote:
ONE Republican hardly counts as bi-partisan.
Bullshit, it did count when the repubies got ONE lonely dem to vote for their crapola, so as usual a double standard is working here,
bi partisan when the criminal repubies need it to be, but not when the liars and crooks in the party of NO don’t eh?
stupid reich winger
Really? Well then how do you explain Joe Lieberman (a Democrat) being the ONLY Democrat to vote in republican bills under George Bush and the republicans doing pressers stating the bill was a bipartisan bill? Oh wait! It’s okay when republicans do this, huh?
One republican and one Democrat agreeing on the same thing would be bipartisan wouldn’t it? Bahhahahahahaha! This is fun.
They passed a bill that the majority of the American People are against. It was accomplished by strong arm tactics and, hopefully, will result in the demise of madam pelosi. Never has one person done more to destroy the democratic party than her. We need a leader in the house not someone who is so crooked she is transparent.
She will be exposed and than we can find a democrat leader who is good for the party and for the nation.
The majority of the people want a public option. It’s in there, Pete. You’re part of the right wing fringe who supports the health insurance companies while the rest of us support the Americans who don’t have health care insurance and need it.
Denny Hastert R-IL was CROOKED. Remember him or were you not paying attention under George Bush? And then there’s Tom Delay! Remember him? Oh wait! Again, ole Pete just started paying attention when Glenn Beck told him to form armed militias against health care reform!
Idiot.
Well Kay you are wrong on all counts, you really should try to become informed instead of just lashing out at anyone who has a reasonable opinion.
I am not a republican but neither am do I follow the democrats no matter whet they try to do, that what happens when you have an informed opinion instead, you actually think for yourself.
This is a bill that few if any of our elected officials read, gave away several of the things it should have contained and was pushed through so pelosi could say she got it through the house regardless of what it contained.
I support government assistance in healthcare but this is not it. You really should give up being a yellow dog democrat and become a thinking one.
Oh suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure you’re not a republican. Let me guess….You’re an “independent who leans right”? Yep! You betcha!
There is plenty of time to perfect the bill. The goal right now is to get through committee, then through the Senate for President Obama to sign into law. Then it’s about getting more liberal progressives elected into office to make sure this bill will be the lowest cost insurance option out there for Americans to purchase!
Implementation is 2013, did you know that wingnut? I doubt it.
If conservatives are elected next year and so on, SAY HELLO TO HEALTH INSURANCE RAPING AMERICA’S ASSES EVEN MORE THAN THEY HAVE ALREADY! Oh, but you’ll be fine with that, right?
I didn’t say I was an independent, I just said I am not a republican.
If the government is involved in the implementation of a healthcare program it will provide less service at a higher cost.
Wrong, the VA health care system proves your a right wing lying troll and nothing more, probably a stupid libertarian to boot
I have tried to think of one thing the government has a hand in that works.
Post Office is broke
because of the downturn in the economy, which has reduced their income however they can’t as easily drop post offices or carriers because they are required to serve all americans, nice that you conviently ignore the reality of the situation.
Amtrak looses $35.00 for every rider
because of the way the republiscum lead by bush has tried very hard to destroy their business so they could be sold to the private sector, where passenger rail service failed decades ago,
too bad republiscum won’t let Amtrak to follow the European example and make train travel one real option instead of trying to kill it
SS is broke
No, currently it is not broke, future projections claim it will go broke however since that has not happened yet yto claim it is broke is dishonest at best … the SS trust fund currently has a 4 trillion dollar surplus son tell the truth
Medicare is broke
No, since it is a federally funded program it can only be broke if congress refuses to fund it, however that hasn’t happened yet, so quit lying
Medicaid is broke
No , it is not same as Medicare
GM is broke and now wants more money
Yep, it is, since they actually followed the stupid greed over all lassez-faire capitalism meme they fucked up and went bankrupt. GM refused to change till they went broke just like the republiscum refused to change till they have become a rump party of NO in american politics
Fannie Mae is asking for more money after causing the worst housing debacle in history
another lie son, the wall Street scam wasn’t created in fannie nor did fannie play in the scam while Goldman, AIG, Lehman brothers, JP Morgan and Merril lynch fucked the entire planets economy up,
Quit Lying son
After approving 850 billion in a job stimulus program, unemployment is up but it did create 600K jobs mostly in government.
Unemployment began rising in 2008 while Bush, Cheney, Paulson ignored it and even claimed the economy was sound. since employment is a lagging part of any recovery, this won’t change till the crap lassez-faire screw everyone for greed capitalism style of the republiscum and those they serve is crushed like FDR did in the 1930’s… but nice try at deflecting blame for the trickle down fuck every one but the rich economic system Reagan and both Bush’s pushed for decades till the whole system crashed, just like last time the stupid economic principles of lassez-faire ignore the consequences was tried
Now lets make the government responsible for your healthcare, sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.
I am a believer in fire all the politicians and start over. If they had to earn a living most couldn’t.
Typical libertarian juvenile praddle, what else could you expect from somebody who is so wrong on so much?
Sounds like somebody ought to take his own advice
clif
This Pete clown sounds exactly like the clowns from a site in Minnesota. Could be….but then all republicans are ignorant and sound the same.
I assume you delete opinions that differ from your own and that is the reason my last post was deleted. It does appear you agree with me on government incompetence since you have yet to point out one thing they do with any sort of competence.
Well son your assumption has made an ass outa you, cause
First of all I don’t do demands of classical juvenile fooles like you,
Second of all i don’t agree with ya at all foole.
You take the stand that it is all republican’s who are at fault,
Since they had control for 14 years in the congress and eight years in the white house along with the failed philosophy they pushed that if ya remove the goberment all would be well, Reagan’s second biggest lie ……….
They did fer wall street and that crashed big time …… Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act in 1999 (all republiscum)repeal of Glass-Steagall Act of 1933, which allowed wall street to become a casino and hide from regulators their more onerous bets till the whole house of cards crashed
Second they pushed real hard for privatization of goberment which is why so much fails like the private contractors who fucked up in Iraq while receiving billions of tax payers borrowed dollars.
Or how contractors made billions screwing the residents of the Gulf coast especially Katrina victims, (hint the trailers that rotted in Arkansas), private contractors got paid well fer that screw up.
Of course how they screech fer Amtrak to mimic private rail companies who failed totally at running passenger rail in the 60’s instead of how the Europeans and Japanese SUCCESSFULLY promote and operate passenger rail
Or how they semi privatized the post office to see costs rise while you claim service is failing
that was the dumb as dirt republiscum
I take the stance that it is unilateral with both sides sharing the blame.
which is why you sound so stupid most of the time
Maybe we should throw them all out and put Kay in charge since she knows everything.
See how stupid you sound
Or maybe Cliff since he has been to Afghanistan and knows what the people there want.
sorry but another wrong assumption pulled outa yer asshole son
Never been to Afghanistan , many other places while serving but never there.
Here’s the reality:
THE GOVERNMENT PROVIDES A GREAT SERVICE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, and it’s the citizens, WHO COMMIT FRAUD AND FUCK IT UP.
See? Prove me wrong.
I guess since you stated you knew what the Afgan people wanted,
Well shit fer brains they keep saying it, to the S Russians when they were there, British when they were there …. get the picture yet numbnuts?
US out, that you had been there, my error because I forgot you speak without knowledge just conjecture.
No cause I can read both English translations of both Pakistani and Afghan papers, something you seem not to have done … nice to see how ignorant you really are …. keep it up you make a good argument that right wingers are ignorant most of the time
You have no answer to what the government does right so we will leave it that I am correct and you agree.
Sorry son just because I don’t play your third grade games doesn’t mean we agree on any thing, try that crap on the freeper cl;owns and goofballs
Stupid is as stupid does and you have yet to show something intelligent here
Geez Pete….do you ever pick up a newspaper and read it or watch anything other then the FUX entertainment channel? The Afghan people have wanted us out of their country for a while now just as the Iraqi people wanted us out of their country. Boy you are stupid!
Doggie, your opinions like you do
Stupid is believing what you read in the newspapers. If you believe what is in the newspapers Obama has an approval rating of 52% but another says 42% so what do you believe, the answer is what you choose to believe.
Stupid is ONLY using Corporate owned US media to form
I have yet to see a vote by the Afgan people on wanting us out but I may have missed that.
all votes ain’t done by ballots, the original vote to create this country didn’t use ballots but bullets, and by that measure the afghans have voted out many foreign troops and their government lackeys
Looks like our fearless leader is on the fence about what to do in Afghanistan so he must not have seen the vote either.
No shit fer brains he just can’t figure out how to clean uop the total fuck up the republiscum lead by Bush and cheney made ovver there, sorta like the way republiscum fuck things up then dump their messes on others to clean up.
See CIA-bay of pigs, Eisenhower/Nixon mess dumped om Kennedy,
Vietnam Eisenhower/Nixon mess dumped on Kennedy
Reagan/Bush Iraqi mess dumped on Clinton.
Bush’s Somolia mess dumped on Clinton.
Bush/Cheney Iraqi mess dumped on Obama.
Bush/Cheney Afghan mess dumped on Obama
Seems to be a trend here
