“With Democratic majorities in the House of Representatives, the Senate and with a Democratic President, there is no excuse at all for the cluster-f. that is the current "health care reform" bill. This is a giant heap of dung, and a slap in the face and kick in the pants to those of us who emptied our wallets and busted our butts to get Democrats, and particularly this President, elected. At this point, I'm sure Republicans are sitting back laughing, like the hyena's they are, at the giant fiasco this has become. The President has shown very poor leadership in getting an acceptable bill passed, and Senator Reid apparently does not have what it takes to get the job done. Maybe he needs to borrow the spurs that President Johnson used to dig into the legs of those he wanted to make sure got his point! Ben Nelson, Joe Lieberman, Mary Landrieu, etc.----you are obviously not team players when it comes to advancing the Democratic Party's platform. You need to be kicked off the team, and we need to proceed with delivering a bill that the majority of those who stood for change in the 2008 election can support. What a bungled up mess this has turned out to be! If we don't get true health care reform, in whatever bill is advanced, you can best believe that there will be extremely undesirable consequences in 2010 and beyond.”

“Hey, Rahm---- bite me! Give up your health insurance along with the rest of your government cronies, and THEN we'll talk about "no public option".”

“This a$$ clown is one of the reasons that Democrats can't get anything subtantive done that will benefit the public! Him, Nelson, Landrieu, and a few others. Cut the crap, Conrad, and get it done WITH a public option!”

“fastronaut: You are totally spot on!”

“BigAl72: You've got that right! They arrested a couple young people at one of Bush's town halls, just for wearing t-shirts that were deemed unacceptable, let alone carrying guns! This is f.'d up b.s.!!!”

“imaxfli: Spot on!”

“I've been thinking the same thing-----the news coverage has been sooooooo "fair and balanced" on this issue! It is definitely more entertaining to show the angry "mob" and the gun toters, than it is to show a peaceful and productive forum on a crucially important topic like health care reform! This is not the time for "entertainment". It's the time for progress.”

“Yeah, and maybe what he should really be asking himself is "how is that working out" for the other 80% of us?!!”

“F*ck Chuck!”

“We love Bill Maher's show!! Bill is so honest and funny~ The "New Rule" part of the show last Friday had me laughing so hard, the neighbors must have thought that I'm nuts! Keep it up, Bill!! We love 'ya!”

“As in the Gates case, this is more about the abuse of power by the police than it ever was about race. Abuse of power by the police is not uncommon, as you will find out if you challenge them. Try it sometime, and see how it works out.”

“hollace: As one of the people of Michigan, I wholeheartedly agree that this dimwit congressman should be more concerned with something that is a real issue, instead of creating issues where none exist. He should be apologizing to us for wasting the taxpayers time and money on this attention grabbing stunt!”

“solarian: That would be a much more productive resolution!!”

“LMAO, greenwitch!”

“F*ck Mr. Pota-toe Head!”

“When President Clinton was in office, the RICO Act was used to keep the nutbag anti-choice zealots from disrupting abortion clincs and harrassing patients. RICO was used because it covers "acts of terrorism". I can't remember if the use of the Act was struck down by a court, but I believe so. When death threats, harrassment, intimidation, acts of physical violence, and ultimately murder is committed by anti-choice zealots, I believe that the word Terrorism is the proper and appropriate word. If there is no protection for women and their doctors/clinics who are involved in legal abortions, how can we claim that Roe v/Wade is being upheld by the government? If it was any other activity that was permitted by law, those breaking the law with threats, harrassment, intimidation, stalking, assault, or murder, would be arrested and charged by the police and then prosecuted. THAT is what needs to happen to tone the anti-choice muscling-out of a womans' legal right to choose. The anti-choice fringe is interfering with our constitutional right to privacy, and if I did THAT with THEIR precious Second amendment rights, that would not be tolerated. But, by all means, tolerate what's been going on all this time regarding a womans right to privacy because it's easier than taking on the zealots and ending the war against choice, once and for all.”

“Torture the domestic terrorist who murdered Dr. Tiller? Works for me.”

“We all need to!”

“Right on, blueken!!”

“Legalize marijuana NOW!”

“twogunmojo: The fact that this particular victim and perpetrator do not have a relationship is totally irrelevant. Even if they had been married, for example, no one deserves to have their life taken because they have the misfortune of being associated with a power and control, homicidal nut.

This BLAME THE VICTIM mentality in our society is partially to blame for all the injustices that are perpetrated upon others. It has the effect of not holding the perpetrator accountable for their actions. That is one of the primary reasons there are so many outrageous acts taking place.

If WE don't hold them accountable, you can d*mn sure believe the perpetrator will find someone to blame for all of their problems and difficulties in life. You'd better hope that YOU'RE not the next one on their list when they decide that "someone is going to pay!".”

“twogunmojo: You have GOT to be kidding! Are you nuts?”

“PigLipstick: You've got that right!!”

“mat3: You're ridiculous.”

“From a life-long Michiganian: F*CK Mitt Romney.”
