“"thats why its so offensive to hear over and over how "regular" or "real americans" are part of these teabag parties.
they dont even realize how it sounds.
if those gatherings are "real america",then what do they think of black/hisp­­anic/asia­n­/gay etc...peop­le??

24hourrifle, sadly, I fear you already know the answer to the question you post. The Republican party is devoted to corporate profit, big business and older white voters. Frankly rifle, they don't care much for the rest of us.”

“It doesn't really matter what either of us want anymore. Both of our choices are immaterial, since the ball is quite literally square in the Republican Senator's court.

If the Republicans are voting according to the needs of the American public, their decision will be for health insurance reform. If not, they will vote for MORE profit for the already obscenely PROFITABLE -FOR PROFIT - health insurance companies.

They have to show their hand to the citizens of America sooner or later, because they can't hide behind Palin's apron strings forever.

May AMERICA come out the winner!”

“Circular logic indeed zxrod. I'm happy to become your fifth fan!”

“Excellent post, zxrod.

Please continue to share your wisdom and insight with us. America will be the better for it.”

“The Republican Senators simply have to make ONE decison; they MUST DECIDE WHO EXACTLY THEIR CONSTITUENCY REALLY IS?

If they plan to serve "WE THE PEOPLE", as we elected them to do, then they must support health care reform.

If they decide instead to support the rights and interests of the health insurance industry, OVER THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, then they will cast their vote AGAINST the Senate bill.

The votes on the Senate floor will demonstrate exactly how loyal the Republican party is to its American citizens. Will they sell us out to big business and corporate interests? Only time will tell.

America IS WATCHING!”

“Thank you for your honesty CitizenT. I am weary of fighting for health care reform, yet I can do nothing but continue our fight against AHIPs. I fear for my family NOW, due to the outrageous cost of our current insurance premiums. I am afraid to even imagine the size of our coming 2010 health insurance premium hike.

I am FURIOUS with the Republican party for turning our government into a sideshow, in order for them to make healthcare President Obama's "waterloo".

I have news for the Republican party. This is NOT a dress rehearsal, this is OUR LIVES and OUR LIVELIHOOD they are playing with, and to date,not one Republican member of Congress has taken our nation's health care problem
seriously. We WILL REMEMBER THIS at the polls.

I am incredibly offended at their member's obstruction and complete inaction on this most difficult issue that is facing our nation.

America needs ALL of our Senators working TOGETHER to come up with good, effective solutions for our health care crisis, that help our citizens. We are not interested in continuing THE STATUS QUO, which instead benefits the HEALTH INSURANCE INDUSTRY, at great personal cost to us and our families.

I am dumbfounded that these ELECTED officials REFUSE to look out for the best interests of all AMERICAN citizens, bowing instead to their AHIP corporate masters. And they expect our vote next time? Not a snowball's chance in h_ll of that happening, especially after a few more rate hikes.”

“What a pompous, sanctimonious, _ss.

Teddy Kennedy was known as the lion of the Senate.

The Republicans shall here to fore be known as the COWARDLY LIONS of the Senate; for their extreme fear of health care for our citizens, the public option, the trial of the terror ists in New York, and the WRATH of their CORPORATE PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE MASTERS.”

“I just spit diet coke all over myself! :-) GREAT comment!”

“Yet the MSM insist the Dems will lose many seats in 2010. Go figure.”

“There is something so delicious in this whole mess coming full circle and landing at the feet of the Senator from Arizona.

So tell me Senator McCain, was it all worth it?”

“Palin is a path o log i cal liar.

Tell me, truth and reason, why THAT doesn't bother you, especially given your name here at HuffPo?

How do you as a parent explain Palin's lies to your children?

I simply cannot fathom how you outwardly praise and admire this woman, while presumably disciplining your children for the very behavior we see exhibited by Palin, on a daily basis, i.e. outright lies, race baiting, embellishing the truth, telling tall tales, taking credit for the work of others, etc?

Do you praise and admire your children when they act this way?

I look forward to your response.”

“The mother of five that you admire has had a nanny care for her children for years. She has taught her children to lie by example, cheat when you think it's worth the risk, quit whenever you lose interest in your current job, and above all else, exco riate anyone who gets in your way.

That's the mothering you admire? I must admit I am dumbfounded.”

“McCain is her past, while Hayworth, as Palin sees it, is her future.

She'll throw John McCain under the bus in a heartbeat, despite being his "soulmate".

Won't it be delicious when McCain returns the favor?”

“She is apparently picking up her education on the streets, with her mother in tow. I wonder what Oprah gave her for candy?”

“Sad, but oh so true KindOne.”

“You might want to send that message special delivery to Palin. She doesn't seem to be able to speak, or write without someone to attack. Some Chris tian witness, don't you think?”

“Today the Republicans called for a HOLY WAR on Americans who want health care reform. Would you call that inciting violence?”

“So basically you're saying it's fine with you if Fox lies to you and it's other viewers?”

“You called it Ramsha!”

“This is the best article I have read to date about the reasoning behind McCain's desperation pick of Sarah Palin. Thanks, Mr. Bradley for sharing your inside information as well as your insight.”

“This is a perfect example of Palin's common sense in action.”

“Wow, that's the way to hit them with the facts! FANNED!”

“I guess one could say he was a propaganda patriot.”

“Fabulous AND Fanned! Great work RandomP!”

“It's good to know that you have strong views, and want answers from our government regarding political corruption. It's even better to know that you also have a mind of your own,and that you exercised your right to stay focused on the issues, rather than joinin with the President Obama bashing, propaganda,and race baiting behaviors advocated by those on the right.

When we stay focused upon the issues, together we can come together, AS AMERICANS, and come up with solutions to our problems.

United we stand. Divided we fall.

YES WE CAN!”
