I wish Rep. John Barrow of GA. would go ahead and change his party affiliation and admit he is a Republican. He always votes with them. He is a disgrace to the Democratics who put their trust in him to vote their will.

GOP women. I'm ashamed of you. You cannot in good conscience be for all of this nonsense. If you can't find your voice in public, remember there is a curtain in the booth where you vote.

No war on women, right Cons? Taking billions away from life-saving screenings, specifically for women, is a GREAT way to show how 21st Century you are. Have they voted down equal pay for women yet?

Too bad my reps thought it would be ok to take money from women's health care to pay for this. Of all the ways they could of funded this the GOP yet again choose to slam women. Still say there isn't a GOP war on women?? Think again.

Keep in mind that the democrats were the one who gave their approval to the bill. It is easy to sit in a comfortable home and slam someone else when you do not know the facts.
01:28 AM on 04/29/2012
Odd the GOP didn't pass the legislation to reduce their own salaries and benefits, to reduce budgets for pork barrel porjects, Homeland Security or defense ... No, they "saved" the students (and obstensibly, their votes) but gutted health care. They will by-God make sure women and the poor are treated like chattel.

This should be a vote on student loans and health care should be another issue as well as protecting big tax cuts for their buddies after all one of these indiots apoligized to bp for have to set up a fund to pay back some of the loses that people had. I guess we know their priorities.

What a trade-off! While realize student loans can be a problem for many (including me), I fail to understand why this legislation had to be tied to preventive healthcare. Repubs really know how to set their priorities in order to make "their" point.
12:08 PM on 04/28/2012
Why can't congress just vote on a bill without attaching all these other previsions to it that have nothing whatsoever to do with the bill at hand. Why tie the Obama health care bills to this??? Congress is so screwed up. On both sides. Now we have a choice (or should I say no choice) in the coming Presidential election between Obama or Romney. As a lifelong Republican voter and a middle class American, I say we have no choice. And our congressional representatives are no better. It is all about gaining power and votes. Nothing else. If you think any of these people are looking out for you, you are crazy.

Why not eliminate tax loop hole for the wealthy to pay for this instead of preventative healthcare for women and children.

Most Democrats voted "no" while the majority of Republicans voted "Yes." Why is that?

Tell me why you are right.
07:23 AM on 04/28/2012
Because the bill eliminates the funding for preventative healthcare. The Republicans use every opportunity they can to try and deund the healthcare act. Why couldn't they just vote on the interest rates?

I am ashamed to see my two elected member's from New Hapshire vote yes. Why would they give these people a break? they have recieved a good education with these loan's and will be getting a good job with that education.
Now there is another 5.6 billion added to our national dept so these people who are going to get high paying job's are getting a break on the interist for these loan's.They will be able to afford to pay a little higher interist.
We do not need any more money added to our national dept. It look's like the lower paid indivdual's are getting the shaft again. Why not get them a lower interist on there loan's?
