“Well yeah, I DO! Big time problem! And now the clowns responsible are in charge of the hen house!! How can President Obama not see this. The biggest Christmas present he could give to America would be to fire them all and start OVER!”

“You're right. I'll just pay the fine and still have no insurance or access to any kind of healthcare.

Actually, since nothing happens for 3 years, I'll probably be dead, because I have no access to healthcare and won't have to worry about premiums of $1,000 a month for a single person, or paying a fine.”

“I think it is going to be really funny when they try to make me buy something I don't want.
Not going to happen, no matter what steps I have to take.”

“Don't be so mean and angry lady!!!”

“I'm not happy either. But if you really think about it - do you really think there would ever be a better bill with this Senate?”

“She is against the speed at which it was done. 6 months is rushing in her opinion.”

“She's in the Senate - if she wanted a different bill, she could have help craft one. Oh yes, she did in the Finance Committee where she voted Yes. The bill really hasn't changed that much - she was stomped on by the Republican leadership and caved.

So, the answer is - she is against all reform!”

“I would say from all I've read about/from her that she's against the crappy bill. However, the bill is crappy because it does not provide the public option. It DOES correct some bad practices from the insurance industry, but if it went far enough to do that, then the rich fat cats would not be rushing to invest in the Insurance industry. But that has to be because of the mandate, which is going to end up being impossible to enforce with all the provisions allowing that it doesn't have to be followed -- religious objections, not being able to afford it, etc., etc.,”

“Who were YOU listening to in the campaign? It obviously was NOT Sen. Barack Obama! The guy from Ilinois. THAT guy. The man I listened to ALWAYS said that he would what needed to be done. I trusted that he would do that, and he has. I have no complaints. The economy has turned around form clear disaster, We can b8*%h about the methods, but he did what he beleived he needed to do. And it worked. Obmaa always said that Afghanistan would be his focus, so WHY are you all so shocked that he would send troops there in the short run? I am not surprised and in fact, agree that, out of a BAD lot of choices, this was probably the best one. He said what he would do, and did it. No complaints here. Gitmo is tough, but last I heard, he was either sending people to their home countries or finding places in prisons here for others. I cannot think of another way for him to eventually close down Gitmo. Again, I have no complaints. Do I wish that Dems in Congress were more supportive and that the Reps would be more cooperative? Yes, but looking towards Obama's so-called supporters, like many here, I can really complain much about them, either. Their wimp-out attitudes are the same as YOURS. The only one that I can see who is standing strong and resolute, is the president himself. Shame on all of you.”

“let's boycott and not buy in. Don't pay the fine either!”

“You kill it, you bury it. Everytime healthcare reform has been introduced and trounced in government, it takes a long time to return and it returns in a weaker form. Kill this bill now, and I guarantee, the GOP will tangle up the legislative agenda with so much cr*p (and there IS a lot to be done) for the next three years, it will never see the light of day. They will also point to the stances of Dean and Nader and play that divisiveness to the masses. The result? President Palin and you're stuck. And healthcare won't raise its head again. The European systems are hanging on by their fingernails and running at losses, enduring all sorts of service cuts rather than sell out to private entities, but that day is coming - which means it won't return in the States.

Nader and Dean both have huge egos and axes to grind, and both are multi-millionaires. Killing this healthcare bill now wouldn't affect them in the least. They're covered, and probably by cadillac plans. Don't forget, Dean' s fortune comes from medicine as well. Just like Bill Frist.

“breakfast at a computer. pathetic.”

“LMAO! Then why did you pull the page up?”

“Sorry that someone else's misfortune is a hinderance to you. You know your computer does have a power switch.”

“"pay a price"? not so much. tom hanks, jake gyllenhall and heath ledger didn't seem to.”

“Rupert Everett I meant. Why do I have Rupert Murdoch on my mind? YUCK, get him off! I think it's that horrible Keith Olbermann impersonation.”

“I'm a female movie goer and I know there isn't a snowballs chance I would get any of these actors. (Plus I'm already married). I just don't like Rupert Murdoch. Neil Patrick Harris is an excellent actor. He can do Broadway, host the Tony awards, and play a straight man on tv. Nobody cares if your good, and your not a raging axx hole.”

“Yeah, but Neil Patrick Harris isn't a leading man, But he is convincing as a womanizer on How I Met Your Mother.”

“Neil Patrick Houser hasn't bee Doogie Houser for decades. Brokeback Mountain certainly didn't hurt the careers of Heath Ledger (RIP) and Jake Gyllenhaal.”

“Doogie pulls it off because he's funny. I think comedialns can be openly gay but leading men not because people are still afraid of Aids, they just don't admit it.”

“Yeah...because being suspected of being gay is the WORST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN, right? FAIL.”

“It's called type-casting and it is based upon on-screen performance, not off-screen sexual orientation. While I do agree gays are discriminated against every day in this country, I think actors are simply the victims of EXTREMELY cautious producers who constantly try to recreate prior success and thus cast actors in the same role over and over again.”

“You are soooo completely off-base. Women can fantasize juuuuusssst fiiiiinnnne about whoever. It's men who can't get images out of their heads. And maybe you can name some examples of a male lead whose career has been damaged by portraying a gay man.”

“Trilby,

There used to be a time when most folks kinda knew that you could only go so far.
Couples struggled with it and either broke up or decided to get married and had a short engagement.

Apparenlty, it worked pretty well.

Now things are different.

Why would any man marry if they could "shack up"?”

“Yes i was actually just talking to the Publisher of GQ who runs the Gentlemen Fund and he was quoting the worldwide numbers on the sex trade and sex slaves. It was unbelievable, frightening, maddening and very sad. Something that we all have a moral obligation to do something about.”

“He was joking. He doesn't need anyone's money. He has plenty of it.”
