I'd like to thank all those duers that would rather talk about lie-gate than the HC speech

[Lorax7844]

Bravo, guys. Cause this is the most important thing that happened tonight.

Fine, mandates, Romney care, no big deal. A fucking asshole acting like an asshole, wow that's real news we should care about.

1. You're welcome, Mother Superior -

your pissy little scold is so full of substance, I'm just underwhelmed....................

[Lorax7844]

8. I want some fucking answers.

I want to know how this is different. Feel free to bury in your head in the sand and get fucked, don't be mad at me.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

20. State your questions, then,

instead of sneering at what people are discussing.

Jesus, aren't you the sanctimonious and intolerant one?

Ask the questions. Go on...................

[cliffordu]

25. Yep, I think underwhelmed about sums it up......

[aquart]

2. Seems it's all you can talk about, too.

And I love being chastised by the self-righteous.

3. lols

[Arkana]

4. Thank god you're here.

Now I know what I should talk about and what threads I should respond to. DU poster "Lorax7844" has told me so.

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

12. And to think I use to listen to what Lorax7843 told me to do...

[BumRushDaShow]

5. Congress makes the laws

not the President. And the state of Congress and their ilk, can never be off the table as a subject of discussion.

[Lifelong Protester]

6. Oh geez, lighten up already, there will be plenty of time to

talk about the important part of tonight. Sorry, it is just human nature to stop or slow down to gawk at a car crash~which for the GOP is a pretty apt metaphor, if I do say so myself.

Plenty of time to parse the better part of the evening.

7. Remember Obama's great acceptance speech after getting the nomination?

Remember the next day after McCain picked Palin that most of the threads here were Palin, Palin, Palin with far, far less attention given to a great speech than it deserved. DU is easily distracted by lesser events.

9. Don't worry. The parade has to end sooner or later. We're just being

bombarded by celebrations at the moment. I'm not sure why. I guess after all the fawning we'll actually be able to dissect his proposal and see it for the huge giveaway to private insurance it really is. :shrug:

[seabeyond]

10. my first post tonight, and on you thread about not talking on health care. hm.... there is room

for both.

not only have i been reading about wilson, i have also been reading ALL the health care threads. can be done.

[proud2BlibKansan]

11. The GOP going down is a bad thing??

Since when?

[Jennicut]

13. Some of us can walk and chew gum at the same time.

The President may have not gone far enough for you but tonight was about reframing the debate on heath reform and I think he did a good job of that.

[Webster Green]

14. No chance of shit like that being ignored on this board.

Multi-tasking is always a possibility as well.

There's plenty of time to trash repuke assholes and discuss the issues. It will blow over soon enough. It just happened, so naturally everyone is talking about it. :shrug:

[elocs]

19. But do we really need DUer after DUer posting exactly the same threads?

Are they really incapable of posting to the already existing threads or do they actually believe they have something unique to say.

As someone who didn't see or hear the speech I come here to DU and there are far too many threads talking about Wilson and too few talking about Obama's speech and what he said. How about DU obsessing about the point of tonight instead because that would be a change?

[Webster Green]

26. I have to agree with you on that.

It would be better to post on a thread already started on that topic.

[tabasco]

15. I got a better idea.

How 'bout you STFU.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

23. No, NO!!!

The OP, the one I correctly identified as "Mother Superior," claimed s/he wanted "ANSWERS"!!!

See how meaningful that is?

So, where are the OP's questions?

I like your idea, tabasco, and I second that emotion.............

:toast:

16. No acutally what happened tonight was... either a SWISS OR GERMAN MODEL

and there is no way in the US we can get single payer... that is the political sucky reality.

Yes it sucks, but this country will NEVER get single payer, or at least not as long as I am alive, or as long as it remains one country...

It sucks... yes, absolutely... but the Canadian model ain't coming to this country anytime soon. Yes it sucks... but at this point I have given up on that changing. Our RIGHT WING has too much power, and we really do not have an organized or radical left, no matter what the propaganda says.

Wait, the USSC will make the fascism official.

Did I depress you enough?

But if we get a solid German model, we will increase coverage and should be affordable, why IT IS.

[blogslut]

17. I can do many things all at the same time

...comment on the President's speech, comment on Wilson, moderate another message board, Tweet on Twitter and work on designing my newest blog. Aren't computers wonderful?

[LostInAnomie]

18. *slow clap*

You're welcome to use hide-a-thread.

[BuyingThyme]

21. Yeah! Who started this thread?!

[msanthrope]

22. Get off the cross. We need the wood. n/t

24. Joe Wilson IS TO Obama AS Michael Jackson IS TO Mark Sanford
