“I did read it again.
Now please illustrate to all of us just how "....all Duties, Imposts and Excises
shall be uniform throughout the United States."”

“It should.
So with a 60-39 vote, let's see if it does!
I can't wait to see if we vote those 39 people out of office.”

“It is Snowe who should be declared unconstitutional.”

“Tripe and nonsense.”

“Meanwhile, there is

NO
ONE
GOING
TO
JAIL
FOR
FAILURE
TO
PURCHASE
INSURANCE

That is a bald-face, Republican/wing nut lie.
But then the Republic machine has put itself in a position
where it is unable to make a point without lying. That's
their problem.”

“-- Extend coverage to 31 million Americans, the largest expansion of coverage since the creation of Medicare.

-- Ensure that you can choose your own doctor.

-- Finally stop insurance companies from denying coverage due to a pre-existing condition.

-- Make sure you will never be charged exorbitant premiums on the basis of your age, health, or gender.

-- Guarantee you will never lose your coverage just because you get sick or injured.

-- Protect you from outrageous out-of-pocket expenditures by establishing lifetime and annual limits.

-- Allow young people to stay on their parents' coverage until they're 26 years old.

-- Create health insurance exchanges, or "one-stop shops" for individuals purchasing insurance, where insurance companies are forced to compete for new customers.

-- Lower premiums for families, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office -- especially for struggling folks who will receive subsidies.

-- Help small businesses provide health care coverage to their employees with tax credits and by allowing them to purchase coverage through the exchanges.

-- Improve and strengthen Medicare by eliminating waste and fraud (without cutting basic benefits), beginning to close the Medicare Part D donut hole, and extending the life of the Medicare trust fund.

-- Create jobs by reining in costs -- fostering competition, reducing waste and inefficiency, and starting to reward doctors and hospitals for quality, not quantity, of care.

-- Cut the deficit by over $130 billion in the next 10 years.”

“Booki?
Hm.
That says it all.

If you have a point to make, make it.
Be specific.

Say, 1-2-3, what it is you think the bill does or
doesn't do. Let me help you meanwhile with
just a few of its pluses (see below)”

“True.”

“And I have live 70 years and ditto your excitement
in this great man's accomplishment.”

“Soooooooooooo?
You're saying...................?
We should all have free insurance and nobody pay at all?”

“"I refuse to live in a country like this -- and I'm not leaving."

YES WE CAN!”

“LORI.........
I wouldn't say Capitalism can't work or even that it's bad. But
there's not question that the particular model of it in place is
a croc.

I personally lean toward Socialism -- hardly claiming it's the
be-all, end-all solution to government -- but because it
unquestionably puts a reasonable cap on wealth that
trickles down to the less fortunate.

We get on our high horse in this country over the nearly
godly thing we make Capitalism out to be, but in fact it is
Socialism that more surely requires us to be our brother's
keeper.

I don't mind wealth. I think it's fine. But I don't believe in
1% of the population having 95% of the wealth and trying
to sell us on the belief that the genius behind their innovation
and breakthroughs can have been borne on the back of
innovation and breatkthrough alone. This is sheer nonsense.

The backs of the little man are as much responsible for our
cars and medicines and exploration of space as the greatest
minds out there.

I don't believe is just giving. Everyone should work. Everyone
should contribute, but we cannot call ourselves Americans and
blame a man because he is born with less skill or intelligence
and evolve that to a right to keep him uneducated, underpaid
and underappreciated.

If that's America, if that's what this model of Capitalism is about --
and it certainly seems to be -- then I feel like Michael Moore:”

“"I refuse to live in a country like this -- and I'm not leaving."

YES WE CAN!”

“MAGNOLIABIRD.
Right on.”

“"...then it is patently and undeniably clear that the problem {is not}
your citizens.

Sorry. My bad. But no less honest in delivery.”

“They don't.”

“You are absolutely INCORRECT.

This is NOT a done deal.
There are still pieces from the House bill to be merged.

If you want to cast doubt and doom and divide citizens,
at least do that with facts and figures.

Otherwise, you're just another liar.”

“LAYMAN>.........
Your title is aptly chosen; that is, your lack of education is showing.

Don't have a job?
And that's Obama's fault? No Sir.

Don't have money?
And that's Obama's fault? No Sir.

Can't afford health insurance?
And that's Obama's fault? No Sir

The final bill isn't in place yet. Before you go throwing feces into the fan,
give the man and his administration a chance. You can always say,
"I told you so." The question is, will you eat crow when it works out to
the benefit of the majority of Americans -- even if it happens not to
include you?

That's the real measure of a citizen.”

“Thanks Dian.....
We are indebted to the many young people who come here to
sort out the facts from the fiction, the logic from the obvious crp,
to continue supporting Obama through thick and through thin.

This is just one victory and not yet a full one. There is soo much
more to go.

We are meanwhile infested with would-be Democrats stating
how discouraged and disappointed they are, would-be, I say,
because they are not Democrats at all but dozens of professional
writers sent here by the opposition to do all in their power to
distort and divide.

We have to keep a chin up.
We have to keep supporting Obama.
He will make mistakes, of course he will.
He's a rookie who hasn't even had a full year under his belly yet.

Continue the vigil.
Visit often.
And remember how we got here:

YES
WE
CAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“No administration in history has intentionally set out to actually
divide this country except the W bunch....and they nearly succeeded.
We won't remember that, which is too bad, nor will we remember
how utterly close we came to becoming a third world country
ourselves, thanks to their idiocy.”

“Adam,
In case you hadn't noticed, we're already IN hll. That's the whole
point. We're being delivered, you ful.”

“Not if you don't have morals and scruples.
Not if you believe God has put "x" number of leaders here
to keep the masses in their place and rewards them with
wealth, power and position......”

“RIDER,
Thanks for that clarification.”

“Complete and utter nonsense.”

“And in fact, not even a year.
We have to continue remembering that many of these
visiting so-called "disgruntled Democrats who voted
for Obama and wished they hadn't" aren't Democrats
at all -- or dmnd poor ones.

A huge majority are professional writers sent here to
dismay and misinform and further divide us into haves
and have nots.

Don't falter.
Stay on point.
Be true to what is logical and fair.

YES WE CAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
