  1. Sorry. Sarcasm requires the little ;) after it. Helps. Either way it was funny.
  2. Thanks for the FAUX news talking points.

    "There are no cuts to the traditional Medicare benefit. The lion's share of spending cuts are in Medicare Advantage -- a program that uses private firms such as Humana and UnitedHealth Group to deliver Medicare benefits. Many of these providers offer extra coverage and some of those extras could be dropped as Medicare Advantage subsidies are bought more in line with the cost of traditional Medicare benefits. Medicare Advantage payment rates will be frozen in 2011 and then gradually reduced giving companies time to adjust to the changes." - Reuters

    "Young adults' ability to attain and secure health insurance coverage for themselves is often difficult. Ordinary transitions in and out of school and jobs throughout their 20s affect their ability to remain on their parent's or guardian's policy or become eligible for employer-sponsored health insurance. Entry level low-paying and temporary jobs typically do not offer health benefits. Purchasing health insurance in the individual market is unaffordable given that 50 percent of uninsured young adults reside in households with incomes below the federal poverty level." - NCSL

    Wisconsin has had that state law for a number of years… requiring coverage up to 27… and full-time students called to active duty can be covered beyond 26.

    I'd link to some of your personal attacks, but I don't have time to wade through all your cartoons, pictures of food, alcohol to find them. Sorry. :)
  3. Dave >meet > sarcasm. Now get up off the floor.

    Sheesh.
  4. Speaking of hook line and sinker "His dark skin may be the result of his ethnicity." ROFLMAO!!

    “[Boehner] is a person of color, although not a color that appears in the natural world" - POTUS at White House Correspondent's Dinner
  5. House Democrats sided with 25% of America that wanted higher taxes, cuts to Medicare, and rationed health care.

    House Democrats voted against 75% of America that clearly opposed Obamacare.

    House Democrats foolishly think they are immune to the voters' wrath come November.

    And I am DELIGHTED that Republicans said no to young adults remaining on their parent's health insurance until they are 26. Are we supposed to hold their hand forever?

    And no, liberals can't make a substantive argument and they can never refrain from a personal attack. They are such a loving, warm, compassionate bunch.
  6. Is it even possible for a liberal to make an argument without a personal attack on someone? In fact, I think I may be offended. His dark skin may be the result of his ethnicity.

    By the way, you seriously believe this entitlement program will reduce the defecit by $1.2 trillion?

    Wow. Hook. Line. Sinker.
  7. The public roll-call vote on the health care bill had every House member vote on these key questions:

    Q: end the right of insurance companies to deny someone insurance because of pre-existing conditions?
    A: Repubs - NO, Dems - YES

    Q: end the practice of insurance companies who cut people's insurance off when they're still sick and starting to cost the insurance company too much money?
    A: Repubs - NO, Dems - YES

    Q: allow young adults up to age 26 to remain on his or her parent's health insurance?
    A: Repubs - NO, Dems - YES

    Q: reduce the federal deficit by $138 billion in the next ten years and $1.2 trillion over twenty years?
    A: Repubs - NO, Dems - YES

    The Republicans played politics, siding WITH the insurance industry and AGAINST the AARP, the AMA, tens of thousands of Catholic nuns, and a bill that will reduce the federal deficit by $1.2 trillion over the next 20 years ...

    John "spray on tan" Boehner hit the nail on the head, The repubs have "failed to listen to the America".
  8. "Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth."
    Abraham Lincoln

    What happened last night was none of the above.
