Look, I think he's going out kamikaze style.  Probably looking for something for his homies as a last big bang.  I read where some of his peeps who are out of work & will be effected by this are applauding this move.   He's probably looking at his scorecard over his time there & looking to stick it to someone. Just enough to upset the balance in what could be an upsetting year for both sides.  It's not only Dems who will have trouble, John McCain could be out if enough people are swung by JD Hayworth...

But does a 15 year old understand that "credit" is what this country runs on?
Do you have a home loan? College loans? Car loans? Credit cards? This is all debt.

We all can see that the deficit is extremely high. What is your alternative? Shut off the funds?
The debt W left us with did NOTHING for America. The Iraq war is shameful squandering of money.

It's not up to our new President to now go tell suffering American's he can't help them because W spent all of the money.

And I will get no direct benefit from this new debt, but the non-theist in me tells me it is morally necessary to help those in need.

Go figure . . .

Hey Pdog,

You want authoritarian? Well then you really need to pay attention to what your boy Obummer is doing, and his henchmen(woman) are doing. They are blatantly rejecting the will of the American people, and they are doing so in the name of the American people. Who the hell do these clowns think they are?! They work for us! Yet they ignore us! That, m friend, is the very definition of authoritarianism.


I would strongly encourage you to read the linked article, and also pay attention to the comments left by everyday Americans. You will note just how many of them do not want any part of this insanity. November winds are going to blow very cold for the asshats in charge right now.

I am far from an authoritarian! I am of the belief that all Americans have "inalienable rights" which can not be stripped by a large centralized government. So unless you're ready to call Jefferson an authoritarian then back off with that assinine assertion. Individual liberty is at complete odds with what we are getting from Obama Co. That you can not see that is a bit shocking.


Here is the real authoritarianism--->http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2010/03/obama-democrats-will-use-reconci...

What?!?! WTF are you talking about funman?! Just because you want it does not mean that any right thinking Americans want it! Sure the majority in power right now wants it. They are far left freaks intent on transfrorming our health care into a socialist nightmare.

The majority of American people want no part of this shit, funman! No amount of your hyberbolic spin is going to change that FACT!

Gallop, Rasmussen, Quinnipiac, Pew, etc., every single poll tells the story. Americans by a 3 to 1 margin do NOT want this horsehit bill. But don't believe me funman. Just wait and see what happens when these tyrants push this bill through. You're blind son.

The problem with the current bill is that it doesn't include a public option. But it's better than no bill.

Health care companies are beholden to Wall St and that's why they drop people that become ill. Profit. Profit. Profit.
I would hope we can agree that if someone gets sick after having paid for insurance, that the provider who drops these people should be jailed. That would put an end to that BS. And preconditions? Some fucked up policy IMO.

I have no doubt that a whole lot of white people will get upset about HCR passing. We've seen the opponents on TV and we've heard their arguments. They have health care and fuck everybody else. They pray for this. They pray hard.

authoritarian personality... it's not even about poltics. no one else posting in this thread falls under this description, not left or right views... it's not about poltics, and if you don't see it, really shows me, how far gone you may be into the super ego involved with this... i would suggest you read up on it, no big matter, but in a few instances, some people do some things that are pretty messed up, in most cases, authoritarians are just starting arguments and making those around them uncomfortable.

Well the big bad bunster finally caved. Seems like even the Pubs know that starving children and people who can't feed their families and construction workers locked out of infrastucture jobs is a bad sound bite. All hail the all mighty Pub party.

If he was so concerned with mounting debt- does he realize how much his little stunt is going to cost us at the unenjoyment office to stop and start up again. Douchebagitude of the highest!

Exactly SG.

If I were Gazza and Voodoo, I'd either close this goddamn waste of a thread or suspend/limit the Board until there was Stones news.

Why should they spend their time and money maintaining a poliitcal pissing contest?? Plenty of those on the Web.

I've had it and I'd venture to say many other regulars and FORMER regulars have HAD IT TOO.

Just my two cents. Now I've got a job I need to get to.

I'd rather read a riffy obamadrone post than one of Starbuck's polls.....Maybe.

At least there's still plenty of money for the important things - like fighting the drug war. Maybe with enough money and dedication we will finally start to win this one!

I don't think they are doing enough to look for bad things the president has done in the past, and kick him out of office or at least waste energy on things that make no ones life better, but are a showcase of faux morality...
