Edited on Sun Apr-04-10 11:27 PM by SwampG8r
asking me to help boehner turn the bill back?

i admit i have said that i thought it to be poorly written law for several reasons and have said so here a few time but....damn

i do understand that as poorly concieved as this bill is it does address many aspects i DO agree with
but consider this
if i posted an OP, one with a link to a boehner site to repeal HCR
i would be the prom king at the biggest damn well deserved gravedance in DU history

i understand DU runs on ads and donations and i let mine run out
i will send Skinner some cash as soon as i can
but.....damn

4. The ads show up automatically based on the contents of the page.
"Obama" and "Healthcare" are mentioned frequently on this site, and the ad you mentioned probably was shown because of that. The software that determines what ads show up on what websites is not intelligent enough to differentiate between liberal and conservative websites. It sees the words "Obama" and "Healthcare" and runs an ad critical of so-called "obamacare".
