dangggg, My brother is pitching a fit....
now, mind you, I do not like the bill that was passed today without a Public Option, its not the bill I want.
Nonetheless, my brother is frothing at the mouth.
I have never seen him like this.
I did take the wind out of his sails when I asked him where he was when Bush was ramming illegal war policies down our throats using our tax money . (He does agree with me about Bush, finally.)

so, he hates the bill because he listens to Fox, I hate it because it doesnt go far enough.

its just all so weird.

I am just shrugging my shoulders at this point. But I have never seen him get so worked up. I dont like the bill because it doesnt go far enough, he doesnt like it because he listens to RW propaganda.


I feel like I live in Bizarro world.

2. As Hoyer said, "we have the votes". You have always been
against this, so why bring your bro into it?

And fyi, I have two rethug brothers for some strange reason; we don't chat. We also don't argue.

11. No, it's not really. It's only a discussion board if you agree with everything
the party says is good for you, and are really good at nodding your head up and down with a vacant stare.

Go Team D.

3. ask him if he thought the bill died when they won their 41st senate seat
I have a theory that they all thought they had won at that point and now that they are figuring out that they have lost they can't understand how it happened.

That is what listening to FOX will do, they tell the RWers what they want to hear and when it turns out to not be true they can't grasp it.

4. Call him up and yell "loooooser! Neener, neener, neener! "
Really loud and obnoxious. That's the only language they seem to understand.

He'll get over it.

8. I'm not concerned about your brother, but
There are some truly unbalanced people out there that are even angrier than your brother. :( It's a little frightening.

9. I know what that's like
But my brother today doesn't seem to be as upset as your brother. I didn't bring it up today when I saw him, and I haven't seen him since the vote. He watches NOTHING but Faux Noise. I was just watching the rerun of Obama's speech, and saw no teleprompter?????? Did he write all that on his hands? LOL!
That's how God does it.

10. If Bush was lying, maybe FOX was lying with Bush?
Maybe FOX is lying about Health Insurance Reform.

Health Care Insurance did become too expensive, and despite having the Presidency, the Congress and the Supreme Court, Republicans did nothing for years as the problem grew and we all knew it was growing.

We'll all have to wait and see together anyway.

Good luck with the Bro.
