I want them called on their bull shit
I am so sick and tired of the pukes going unchallenged when they say they were shut out of the process. It's been a whole year of debate on health care, and Obama did nothing but kiss their asses and extend the olive branch since he took office.

They were very vocal in saying they wanted him to fail, and snarkily predicted that health care reform would be his "Waterloo". What a despicable bunch of assholes and hypocrites. I love to see them squirm. It's karma at it's best.

1. I believe the final bill grew out of th Senate Finance Committee bill, which was drafted by
3 (R)s and 3 (D)s

Then there were 167 (R) sponsored amendments added to it (if my memory serves).


I don't think anyone wants to call them on it so that the (D)s get all the credit for it once people begin to understand that they like the reform.

3. It's just like the way they control the news media and then tell everyone that the media is liberal
They can have their cake and eat it too.

They get news reports slanted their way and simultaneously convince their followers that the real situation is even worse.

And people keep swallowing.

4. Sadly, this is the 100% truth. I wish it wasn't.
