Yep, quite unlike the largely sophisticated and erudite liberal Democrats.

The current situation is a product of Majority Rules. Is there a better system? Not that I've seen.

This piece of legislation was forced through Congress on a paper thin majority vote with a win at all cost attitude. Assuming the Dems would continue to have a controlling majority in both houses as well as their man in the White House this is a done deal. But, therein lays the fatal flaw in this plan.

As soon as this was passed, the Dems lost control of the House. So now the Repubs are exercising their will over the very same group of people who in essence told them to fucq off. So now the those on the left are saying those on the right are shutting down the government. To think that a single person would hold either party solely to blame for the sorry state of affairs is an insult to the intelligence of everyone.

The government has for all intents and purposes been dysfunctional for some time now. What it now resembles is a bad marriage where each partner goes back 20 years in history to dig up some trifling tidbit of minutiae to cast blame away itself and towards the other partner.

The notion that majority rules may be a is a fact of life, but that doesn't mean it's the best solution in all situations. At some point our leaders need to learn to work with each other for the common good of the nation, not to help each other get elected.

You really are too kind Wheel.

But “commie” is soooo nineteen fifties. You really need to work on that.
As far as the ”****” goes, Hey, who can argue with that?

I think it's his Stalin uniform.

Buncha thieves in redistributionist clothing.

They (including the Salvation Army) already took my stuff. That's all right, I'm not against sharing a bit. I just want some of it back.

I'd just go straight to Snopes...

Try to remember that free is just another word for nothing left to loose . . .

If a pronouncement from Wheel makes me a “commie” then each and every one of us is in trouble. Deep trouble.

I am no more a commie than Wheel is a fascist.
Ok – bad example.

I think the literal interpretation of Wheel’s statement is that I don’t vote the way he does.

So the ''free healthcare'' for all was a lie as advertised, thanks for clearing that up.

Free healthcare...

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

This is my (admittedly amateur) assessment of it.

Obamacare simply mandates that every person in the US has to give an insurance company money.
The insurance companies are suddenly willing to insure those high-risk/pre-existing people because the healthy young people (who probably wouldn't bother buying insurance otherwise) are forced to pay into the system.

Of course, that sounds like a great deal for the insurance companies... or at least one where they aren't getting screwed.
Probably, the people who are now paying for insurance who have a lower income will get some additional income tax breaks/credits for it as well... so that will make sure those young, healthy people who probably aren't earning a ton yet (think typical 22 year old), subsidized by higher taxes elsewhere.

I need to go into the health insurance racket.
