So today's defeat for free-market economics and Republican values is a huge win for the conservative entertainment industry. Their listeners and viewers will now be even more enraged, even more frustrated, even more disappointed in everybody except the responsibility-free talkers on television and radio. For them, it's mission accomplished. For the cause they purport to represent, it's Waterloo all right: ours. -Former Bush speechwriter David Frum

And he's right. Limbaugh, Beck, O'Reilly, and their ilk will work the right wing nutjobs of this country into a frothy frenzy over this. It's going to be an ugly three years.

So today's defeat for free-market economics

Didnt you guys prove a couple of years ago that free-market economics dont work? WTF is this dude smoking?

Republican values

have been proven to be a myth.

And what about responsibility-free listeners and viewers? Think there aint any of those?

What a fucking tool. So you got a partial health care model signed into law, big deal. The rest of us have been doing that for 40 years. Wake up already.

The end is near ....
... now it's TRULY gonna suck, to be not only an adult, but, to be a business-owning adult!

What a fucking tool. So you got a partial health care model signed into law, big deal. The rest of us have been doing that for 40 years. Wake up already.

For the umpteenth time, read the legislation. Above all else, we got fucked.

I think both sides are missing the really big picture.
We can now move on to shutting down Guantanamo and letting fags serve loudly and proudly in the army.
I'm glad the health care thing is finished. We only got fucked if you look at what could have been. This bill is an improvement over what we had, there's no question.

Why would I? it doesnt affect me...

Doormouse makes a great point. Think of this as better than what we already have, and a step in the right direction.
As i said on FB, Tort reform is so desperately needed in ADDITION to new healthcare, but I just cant see that ever happening in this sue everyone's ass society

No I understand. People like you who need their zoloft are going to be ok. People like me who need our prostates removed are going to die a painful death.

I am just happy I won't have to hear about procedure anymore.

Someone should have been honest and just said, "Look.  Turn on C-SPAN for an hour or two.  35% of what we do is procedural bullshit.  60% is grandstanding.  The last 5% is actually doing anything."

Yes! Me and my "zoloft" are fine! Fuck that. Currently I am unable to change my ass raping of an employee based health insurance because I am female (Bad) and carry a preexisting condition (worse) and a syndrome that is only found in females (worst). I am fined because I have a genetic syndrome that 1 out of every 10 women have. That is so wrong it makes my fucking blood boil. My premium has tripled since 2008 by the by and just gets worse and worse. Oh and the medication costs thousands per year... that is WITH my shitty health insurance (which has no dental OR vision) To cover a spouse? that takes up half of my bi-weekly earnings. Guess I'm not doing that any time soon!

This shit is ridiculous and had to stop. DO i like every part of it? Absolutely not. But this bill is a start.

holy shit emp, I know! And all I kept hearing was "another 20 minutes there will be a vote..." a fucking hour later...

ZOOMIE?!?  Did you change your view on National Healthcare?  'Cuz, YEAH ~ there just went my liver transplant and any hope I had of living past the age of 65...

Fuck.  I'd better get busy with the poppy patch, since scum-of-the-earth crackers like me probably won't "deserve" decent pain meds.

There is no hope for us old white people.

Fyre I read the bill. All of it. Aetna and The Hartford are going to make BILLIONS and they can still say no. And those of us who already HAVE great coverage are going to get jacked by about 400%.

But it's ok, as long as everyone gets something I can die knowing that we did the best we could.

Nah fuck that shit,  mob violence.

Awww!!!  You can come and stay with me, Zoomer.  I'll take care of you.  We'll have herb, opium and whatever liquor we can make out of coastal hay and prickly pears!



OH!  And I'll start stockpiling (ReadThat:  stealing my dad's) Viagra so we can go out with a BANG!!!  rofl
