- John Boehner looks like a naughty frat boy showing off in front of "bro's" when he shouts "Hell's no"
- Less than ten votes btwn civilization & Nazi Communist Black Panther Muslim Socialist government takeover!
- "No You Can't" should be GOP slogan
- "It is the responsibility of this house 2 defend these [unborn] children" til they r actually born, @ which point they're on their own/ freeloaders
- Stupak is like a boyfriend who starts saying all the right stuff after you've decided to break up with him.
- Stupak acknowledges that democrats are better on life from birth-death. I'm fine letting anti-choice people think they're better for a few months.
- The Republicans "born babies-senior citizens-killers." But it doesn't have the same ring as "Baby-Killer."
- OMG! The person who yelled "baby killer" @ Stupak had a southern accent. i CAN'T believe it.
- OK. The person who called Stupak "baby killer" was me. I couldn't help it!
- The President is on TV! do we still call him president? Or is it officially the fuhrer? Or Comrade in Chief?
- Getting onto subway. I REALLY hope people aren't waiting in bread lines &/or speaking Russian when i get out.
- A great metaphor for the difference btwn MSNBC & FOX: MSNBC still covering healthcare and FOX has moved onto TMZ.
- In all fairness 2 GOP & their sour grapes, rich white men advocating 4 rich white men r not used 2 losing. But they did 2nite!

In following the major plays and pundits, it was clear that one side was using fear tactics and name calling more then the other. I found it odd that the GOP crowd would say that wanting to provide healthcare for all our citizens was an affront to G-d. I might not have a college degree in religion, but I think that most religions encourage compassion and empathy for other. Makes me wonder what religion the GOP follows.
The GOP took a gamble. They wanted to In the cripple the President's agenda by preventing even a partial win in healthcare. If the GOP got on board to help the people they serve and worked the Dems on reform, I know it would have been a "better" outcome. But no, the GOP decided to throw us under the bus and put politics of the people. In the end Dems got together and were able to pass a healthcare reform bill. Even as a supporter of the bill, I know it could have been better.
The system we have works best when the parties work together. Unfortunately, the GOP is acting like a little child. I think that the members of the GOP need to put on their big boy/girl underwear and act like adults.
The Democrats's bill is simply Government Expansion... nothing else.
The cry-babies are the Democrats, "oh,.. they used the "N" word!" Oh... they called us names....
ohhhh they called us baby-killers"
i guess Pelosi better hurry up and get government-paid mental counseling for these poor, poor
democrats! Hurry Nancy!
As I look into the future, I am reminded of when I lived in Central America. I noticed that child "house-slaves" were very typical of rich houses -- a status symbol. They even imported children sold by poor families as far away as Peru to be little house-slaves. These children did the same full day's work one might expect from an adult employee -- for room and board. They usually slept in sparse rooms with only a bed and a picture of Mary holding Christ on the wall. They did not attend school like other children. I remember one occasion a group attended the cinema. The house girl contained her secret delight of being allowed to accompany the other girls.Her pleasure might stir jealousies, so she carefully concealed her excitement, obediently taking instructions, carefully reminding the mother she was leaving the house fully aware of her lower station -- to avoid a later beating, no doubt.. I sensed her 11 year old body served a function to the father even. Will America's orphans and disadvantaged become a new class of child not seen in the US? Will the United States see the dysfunction and human rights violations of Latin America in the absence of legal abortion?
I'm glad for doctors who don't have to experience the burden of doing the procedure. comes with responsibilities..
Is this the perfect bill? Far from it. I am reminded of the Civil Rights Act of 1957. You've never heard of it either, huh? Don't be embarrassed if you haven't. It wasn't much of a law - a mere pittance, really. Nothing more that a dew scraps tossed out in order to appease the "American Negro" (in the parlance of that day and age). But its passage made the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (the one we remember) a little easier to get though seven years later.
We'll live to fight another day.

the government Nanny holding their hand? Protecting them? When will these people grow up
and start being adults? When ? Its been over 50 years now of government programs, and oh yeah....., they work, don't they ??!!
Hey, but I guess if these people do grow up and take responsibility for themselves, they wouldn't need the Welfare Party to help them, would they? Hmmm, so its a self-fulfilling prophecy, they need each other....
