Pharma Deal Shuts Down Senate Health Care Debate

Pharma Deal Shuts Down Senate Health Care Debate

Commented Dec 11, 2009 at 14:40:13 in Politics

“Sorry they deleted your comment, Hume; Most of the hyper ventilators are trying to exploit the situation. Usually, they are easily disarmed by merely asking what position they support and what would they like to see come of this? They can repeat what they think or know to be damaging to their perceived opponents, but they dry up right away when they have to describe their concept of good policy.”

“Your side's beliefs about who you're talking to is hilarious. You really think we're all 20-somethings who live in our parent's basements. wearing pajamas and eating cheeze-doodles, don't you? Do you know that states that vote mostly Democratic also provide the most taxes while states that spend more than they pay vote mostly Republican? That people with at least a college degree have historically supported the Democratic party by steady majorities approaching 66%?”

“Hi 20%, I agree. I donated to actblue last cycle, and don't recommend supporting the party apparatus as it stands now. However, at least we are heterogeneous in our good-evil scale. Where are the Repubs on this scale? Where do you plan to take your vote? Timbuk tu?”

“80% of the people claiming to be ex-democrats on this thread have never voted for democrats in their lives. You have but to peruse their comments. What a farce...”

“some people think, and become angry when they feel they've been lied to.

handing healthcare over to insurance companies instead of instituting single payer, escalating a war, calling gay marriage akin to an uncle marrying his niece, and generally acting like a republican is not the change liberals voted for.”

“Thank you, Joe. All this "epic fail" and gloom and doom and end of democrats and on and on...it's either phony progressives or people who haven't been paying attention. Jay Rockefeller has been one of the most vocal champions of strong reform -- and he is smiling and happy in the article. Other than that, we have no details....this is promising.”

“The comments here... wow, just... wow. They haven't even released the details yet. Is there even one legitimate poster here not pretending to be a disaffected Democrat? Just one?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not happy with the way things are going. But I'm supposed to blame the Democrats with Republicans getting a free pass on filibuster and allowed to demand 60 votes on everything? Are we living in a Democracy, or what? You forking people make me sick.”

“To all of you in full-take-down-mode on Obama, regardless of whether or not he implements policy you approve of are on very thin ice. Maybe some of you could propose alternatives? But then, most of you were Bush voters, so you're in double trouble, cynically attacking the policy as "not bold enough, propaganda, etc" but then having to live with the fact that this nation could not have been what it has become without the past 8 years. Why won't any of you discuss this in those terms? Without that, you're just taking pot shots. Again, I ask, what is your alternative?”

rbndc replied on Dec 08, 2009 at 14:16:32

“Haven't you heard? There were no Bush voters. Today all conservatives claim they hated Bush because he wasn't really a conservative. They say they were against everything he did. Nobody voted for Bush.”

“Held many, many politics sessions with a wide group of people, donated a pile of money and helped out locally. You?”

“You're a joke...You sit at a desk every day in a climate controlled cubicle shuffling papers and pushing keys on a keyboard. You have no real effect on this country. Your 80k a year is all you have to go home with. When you have traveled around the world enforcing American doctrine and leading men and women who depend on you to keep them safe and alive, come back and talk to me. Otherwise, stay in the dark and we'll continue making about the same salary and I will continue sleeping at night knowing that I have made a difference.”

“After perusing your comment history, it is clear that nothing will satisfy your ilk. You have no intention of helping to implement good policy, just trying to find anything, ANYTHING, to complain about. Sure would've been nice to have you folks around for the last 8 years.
