“No, we wouldn't. Those same Senators would still be on the take and Dr. Dean would have to compromise with those prostitutes.”

“Dean is saying the Party by putting them on blast. Do you think he worked all of those years leading the Party only to destroy it? He is saving them from destroying themselves with this BS bill they are trying to pass off to us.

Any politician with an ounce of integrity would not support this bill with that mandate. Don't force us to buy this crap! Nothing changed from the insurance company's standpoint but EVERYTHING changes from ours, including criminalizing health care! It's WRONG and Howard Dean is RIGHT!”

“Lieberman is not the only obstructionists. It started with Baucus and moved to the Blue Dogs, including Blanch Lincoln, Sen. Landreau, etc. All of the Blue Dogs destroyed the public option together, so together, they ALL need to go.”

“We do not agree as a Party. We Democrats all have these opinions, no matter how poison they are to our mission. I'm sure Repigs are having fights inside over some wanting to stop saying "No", but they tow the line like good Repigs. Democrats have brains, and some even have hearts. lol

Notice that the Repigs are quite silent these days as they don't have to say a word. We are currently eating our own so they are not needed in this debate. If it can be destroyed, we always find a way.”

“Lieberman made them take out Medicare 55+ AND the public option. He probably hasn't even read the bill.”

“When 99 of the most powerful people in the world let one push them around, its because they want to. They are hiding behind Lieberman the decoy - he is taking all the wrath for what they don't have the balls to do. If we enough decent people in the senate Lieberman would be an irrelevant footnote.”

“Um, no. It's the health insurance companies overcharging and pocketing the profits. With this bill, they get about 300% more than they do now, and that's just wrong.

The only thing to drive down costs is competition. This is why Walmart does so well because they have the best prices of all of the stores in their surrounding areas. No other store can beat their pricing, which is why they dominate. If we had that level of competition through a government public option, insurance companies would bring their prices down to keep their customers (victims).”

jpsd replied on Dec 17, 2009 at 13:02:14

“Insurance companies avg about 4% profits. Walmart has no real competition, they have low prices because they drive down there input costs from suppliers (China). Your analogy would be to blame Visa or Mastercard because Walmart charges too much!”

“I think the numbers are skewed. Why? Because I had to file for the latest extension and because my benefits had already expired, they had to open a "New Claim". It isn't new in reality because I received the original unemployment and then the extensions but this time, a new claim had to be opened. This is what I think is making the numbers go up because it coincides with the same week that people filed for the latest available extension.”

jpsd replied on Dec 17, 2009 at 12:09:55

“the new claim would be for the new extended benefits and would not ocunt under this number. there is another category for your claim”

“You assume the compilers of the statistics do not know this. You could be right, but I wouldn't assume it at all. It's saying they're ignorant of what they're counting. Ignorance is possible, but I presume they are not that stoopid. Why not email them or do some research before posting?”

“That was decent. My daughter wants to take drama in college but her school doesn't even offer it. She needs a scholarship for it but they are not that accessible, especially to young black girls. She is taking journalism in her first year. She'll have to get in through the back door by way of writing screenplays, I guess.”

“I think some are just taking it the wrong way. He didn't mean it the way it came off. He is only talking politics, not personally. He spoke a fact. Numbers IS the reason why Gov. Dean lost the election. Chris said that and that's wrong? It was the truth.

Chris is a good hearted person. He is not mean-spirited at all. He spends his time on his show trying to figure out the politics of the topic, that's all.”

“The difference is that Dean has principles; Matthews is nothing but a flag that blows whatever way D.C. is blowing. Remember how he kept gushing at how presidential W. Bush looked when he did his land in an aircraft carrier stunt?”

“Chris isn't paid by anyone. He is his own man. He worked in Congress so he has a viewpoint on reconciliation. If you've watched him for as long as I have, you would know this about him. He is a moderate Democrat, a political historian, a political junkie, and he knows his stuff.

He goes hard, which is the whole point of his show.

Sen. Landrieu, however, is part of the problem. She needs to go!”

“Look ignoramous! I did not say he didn't say it. I said I don't believe anything written by Politico. Big difference!

I also said that I don't give a rat's A S S what he said. I care about health care, education, a good energy bill, and everything else on the Democratic platform.

Now kiss it!”

“Actually, I was responding to a post you sent me that was scrubbed. In it you said, and I quote:

"I don't believe squat coming from the right, and that includes Politico!"

With the implication that you assumed Mr. Schumer's innocence.

But based on your response, I have to ask, why are you so angry? If you don't give a "rat's A S S", then why the hostility?”
