“Kinda reminds me of those poor shlubs that keep voting pro-life but get bupkis out of their reps when they get to DC. Zero. Zip. Nada. "Thanks for your vote, but we know if we do anything about abortion, you'll consider voting for someone else...so, we'll talk a good game but do nothing to change anything and hope you never notice..."”

Besides, who has time to hold protests much less our polititians accountable, when Tiger Woods got caught with his pants down? Yeah, whining on huffglue is all one has to do to see justice get done.

“When I was contributing to this president, I envisioned a president that would do a nation-wide, whistle-stop sales pitch for health care reform - a relentless 50-state full media blitz. The only nationwide pitch I saw came from the right. The left caved. Reid cowered. Now, Obama and Dean appologize. I'm disgusted. Thank God Teddy didn't live to see this.”

“I watched a speech from November 1 2008 in Henderson NV. You shoulda seen what a pretty picture he was painting. It's funny to see him then and now, yelling at us to support a crappy bill.”

“Tiger's GDP is more than many countries and most US states. Him taking a seat on the bench costs thousands of people their jobs.”

Donald replied on Dec 11, 2009 at 19:51:43

“Tiger Woods' sabbatical isn't going to cost thousands of people thier jobs. Let's not overstate the case, and give the guy some space. He has some soul-searching to do.”

“Tiger, if Peewee Herman can make a comeback, so can you!”

“Without Tiger on the tour, it will be like watching minor league baseball. During his absence after knee surgery, viewership alone dropped 50%! I say, "you got two months to repair the damage, come back at Torrey Pines!"”

“Medicare doesn't have death panel claims denyers like the private companies. Medicare officials don't have seven-figure salaries. Medicare doesn't profit from claim denials or plan rescinding resulting in the death of 3,500 Americans per month.”

“We spend $2,000,000,000 (two billion dollars) a week on the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. We've been doing so since 2003. We've been paving roads in the desert on the other side of the planet, blowing them up, repaving them and repeating over and over for 7 years. Welcome to the fiscal outrage camp.”

“That's what your generation was expected to ask when Reagan led the largest expansion of the national deficit in history to that time. Most recently, collossal expenditures paired with mega tax cuts for the wealthy led to the deficit we're in now. Until now, It's been war and tax cuts for the rich that have pilfered our treasury - not the desire to take care of one another's healthcare.”

Political Conservative replied on Dec 11, 2009 at 09:20:39

“You are absolutely right about the debt. It is the only point that liberals ever point to. They never mention that it was the period of greatest economic growth since WWII and that the median income of families grew. After the recession Carter gave us with inflation and 7.4% unemployment we were telling Reagan to keep it up.”

“Can't someone find a member of the late Senator Kennedy's staff to tell us what's really going on here? These headlines are hardly worth clicking. Teddy spent 40 years working on healthcare legslation and had the best staff in the business trying to bring it to fruition. Can't we find one to ask a couple questions when BS like this starts flying around?”

“What did your magic calculator say about Iraq and Afghani wars in 2002, 2004 or 2006? All the tisking and hand-wringing about cost comes conveniently AFTER the Decider leaves office. "But, but, but...the COSTS!!!" "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!" US debt still doesn't exceed 100% of GDP. Stop the wars and provide medicare for ALL. YESTERDAY!!! We can do this. That's all there is to it. All the rest is care and comfort for private, greed-based insurance corporations. Not doctors, not nurses, not hospitals. Insurance companies. Enough is enough.”
