Deborah's Comments (123)

“A man shouldn't take note, he should find a new girlfriend or wife. Real women would never be turned on by poorly written drivel who's target audience are teens/ tweens. This poor excuse for a "novel" speaks to the lonely and desperate.”

“Women and girls only like this book series because it depicts the kind of fantasy relationship that simply doesn't exist between the two sexes.”

“I completely agree. My wife loves this stuff; it grates on my nerves, but I learned to make it work for me. Just last week I made her breakfast in bed and put it in a New Moon lunchbox. I got points for being romantic, and in a way, I got to express how incredibly juvenile I think the whole thing is. And I was thanked profusely. Thanks, Edward!”

“Wow, you realy seem to live without any hope. It is possible that these bears may survive, they posses natural instincts and abilites. If not, there is still a food chain. Why kill them andnthrow them away? The poor hungry whales need to eat to.”

“As if your statement is only true with whites. I've heard some pretty nasty things come from Asians.”

“To be honest, if someone took out a loan on a house they could not afford, do we want them buying more things on credit.

What we need is safety net for those who through no fault of their own, have endured a hardship such as a catastrophic illness. We need to stop giving blanket solutions to every foreclosed on citizen because some of them were dishonest.”

“To this point, NO ONE in government has addressed the credit ratings cartel and how they can torpedo a family's attempt to extricate itself from debt. A bit of sunlight is needed here.”

“Yes - people will just have to understand you can't buy a big home if you don't have a job or income.”

“I say we recreate The Bastille”

“You JUST now noticed the war on the middle class, the GOP has waged for the last 8 years? Your way of life was taken slowly bit by bit and now you suddenly realize it is gone.”

“Amen.”

“Taking their health insurance away would do little, as they can surely afford a pretty impressive policy with the $4 million they just grabbed from insurance companies.”

“Well said.

The irony of the 7 year reporting rule, is there is little immediate incentive for the debtor to fix their situation, once the bad information has been reported. At this point, the debtor is almost better off claiming bankruptcy, than attempting to fix it on their own.

It's a sick cycle.”

“you hit the nail on the head.”

“well only Fox is saying those things. and thats exactly where the truth need to be shown. but even after hearing it they still will deny it.”

“Very scant, if any discussion on the real costs of our health care system. You will, however, hear them parrot over and over about the public option being dead. Welcome to the Corportate States of America.”

“They know which side their bread is buttered on and the insurance companies pay them a lot of bread. What Tass and Pravda was to communism our MSM is to Free Market Corporatism.”

“That is their goal. To destroy the little guy and force everyone in town to buy their crap. Also to pay and treat their employees like crap. Mention anything about forming a union and your fired. I want this company to go out of business. It would be good for America if that happens.”

“It even put all the other grocery store OOB where I live. Don't we have anti-trust legislation any more?”

“I suspect at the end of the day it will be. But it won't be a forced issue, everyone was allowed to the table and given a voice. Why do people believe everything they hear from media looking to gain ratings? I like the articulate voice of reason that looks at all options and at the end of the day, makes the choice that's best for all. Ramming something down everyone's throats is what happened before and no one was on board. Pres Bush got 8 years to destroy the country, and we are not happy that in 8 months Pres Obama has made a lot of changes to fix things??? I am happy. I am standing with him. I believe that at the end of the day, where we are going will be far better than where we have been.”

“what will you gain from health care reform? Why do you need it so bad?”

“Damn right!”

“So Deborah, are the repugs paying you minimum wage to type that crap?”

“hmmmmm....­.go back to repub land”

“Not too fast. We could have a Maddow.Dea­n ticket in 2012.

or if we are real lucky

a Waters/Conyers ticket”

“No. There are outlandish rumors because the Republican Party has set out to destroy everything President Obama tries to do. It is pure hate, not lack of information.”

“Problem is that there is no one health care bill at this moment, but 5 different bills in progress. This makes it easy for the antis to pick and issue isolated sections from each to create several strawmen.”

“Anyone who does not know the facts about health care reform must not want to know. The information is readily available.

“I wish it was politically feasible for Obama to present his preferred plan as a bill, and let congress debate that. That would have brought clarity to the conversation.

Instead, we have competing bills, with a variety of ideas dumped into a variety of stews.....­.”

“The information should be available, even if written in government legalese is HR3200, with others simplifying it as HR676.
Grab your favorite atty. and disect.”

“The short answer is "NO." Remember this bill runs thousands of pages in length. I've no doubt that the vast majority of senators and congressman have not even read it in its entirety. Why would they? Their votes are going to be cast almost exclusively along party lines, so what's the point? Government in this country has been stalemated by partisan politics since ... well, the last half century! While I certainly believe that this nation needs health care reform, don't expect to see the Canadian model even if the bill passes. While Conservatives are apparently unable or unwilling to stop suckling at the teat of big business, the Liberals seem unable or unwilling to press their advantage to institute real reform. Before we can truly address social issues in the United States, there are two issues that MUST be dealt with first: campaign finance reform and term limits.”

“"not" in my comment should be "now".....”

“http://www.johnconyers.com/hr676faq

Mis-information and outright lies. BeWare! Use some common sense when you read comments and other internet post.

Keep in mind that the very same people who told us that young Americans would be going to Iraq to protect the USA from Saddam's weapons of mass destruction are not feeding us mis-information on Health Care Reform.

Google HR Bill 676. You will get much mis-information and will have to sort through the lies.....”

“THERE IS NO COMPLETED BILL. THESE LOOSE CANNONS OUT THERE ARE ONLY ARGUING OVER POINTS THAT THEIR LEADERS RUSH, HANNITY AND BECK ARE PROVIDING THEM.

THESE MOBBERS HAVE MADE THE CASE THAT IGNORANCE IS NOT BLISS”

“As I understand it, the plan demand anyone 21+ years or older to get medical insurance. No one can be turned down for any reason (i.e. pre-existing conditions) and in order to contain costs there will be a choice of insurance from a pool of insurers, which hopefully will include an insurance company set up by the government (public option). The idea is that this public option will keep the rest of the insures honest in how the price things. If someone can't afford their insurance there will be some assistance fom the government and if you have insurance fro your employeer, you will be able to stay with it. Initially employeers will not be able to use the insurer's pool, but in time they too will be able to use it; tereby reducing their own costs in covering their employeers. Because insurance obtained through the insurers pool will be fully portable and cheap, the expectation is that in time most people will just prefer to use that insurance rather than their employers.

Needless to say, none of the outrageous lies being spread by the Republican mobs apply.”

“It seems the opposition has pulled bit and pieces from the bill that gives them great concern and instead of answering their concerns, they are called racist.

That won't win hearts and minds. I doubt anyone has read the whole bill.

I also believe that some (Palin, Limbaugh) are over the top with their criticism and are using it to boost ratings and score political brownie points.

This bill needs to be read carefully and all concerns addressed. If it is crammed down our throats, there will be political blowback for the Democrats.”

“Not your momma or daddy....A­ND if they're gone could be you. They want to control you and your house hold. If a twentyfive year old doesn't want health to damn bad, they WANT any and all information on you and yours.”
