2. And Coburn considers himself a human?
He's a fucking worthless piece of shit who deserves nothing more than to live in poverty for eternity. I think he thinks he has the answer to everything, except he isn't aware of his own ignorance. That's what makes him a danger to America.

Take away his money and he would be begging for a bone just like the rest of us. Scum!

9. Since the repukes
Edited on Wed Dec-22-10 11:54 AM by More_liberal_than_mo
have demanded this bill be paid for, the dems added that it would be paid for by a special tax on U.S. corporations that have moved the HQs offshore to avoid U.S. Corporation profit taxes, thus eliminating the corporate offshore loophole in the tax code.
This is all about protecting offshore tax loophole and Repukes' corporate masters. They could give a shit less about ground zero heros. ASSHOLES!

11. ah, makes sense, so that's why they don't want to talk about it!
Shep should point that out as the possible reason. I remember that's how it was paid for but I've never heard any republican say that's why they won't vote for it. But it prolly is.

Thanks for the answer. I had a head slapping "duh" moment.

14. There are two kinds of MDs...
those who got into medicine to help others and those who got into it for the money. I'm certain he's the latter. What a douche.

16. These filthy Rich only govern for the Rich.
That's what they do.

Crumbs for the rest (and only when they feel like, which is not the case for these Heroes).

Eff that Rich and all the other slime-balls like him.

8. If he had a heart to begin with, this situation would never have arisen.
Edited on Wed Dec-22-10 11:49 AM by BrklynLiberal
One can only hope he is capable of shame and feeling humiliated.

10. An MRI of Coburn's heart
would show it to be many "sizes too small." These First Responders singing brought tears to my eyes.

I have seen a lot of greed in my lifetime, but Coburn's justification for denying these people a pittance of care has established a new standard for avarice, as well demonstrating a total lack of conscience.

15. I wouldn't beg the bass turd
I'd BURN HIM!
Damned hypocrites like him should be burned at the stake, and their burnt heads put on a pike outside the White House.
