Eric Cantor, you should have been much more careful of deceiving the American people. When it is this health care law that frees us from the shackles of the extreme corrupt wealthy. So medical professionals could really help people, more people could be employed, and Insurance employees wouldn’t have to condemn people to death. It was the Republicans and extreme rich, who really are the ones with the death panels as it always has been. Just so some CEO’s and their upper administration could make huge profits. Eric Cantor, you should be ashamed of yourself in your corrupt, arrogant, craving power, greedy, hypocritical, and deceiving ways. And you Eric Cantor call yourself a Christian. Who has been killing whom, huh? How many others are doing that same thing that you do? Eric Cantor, you are a LIAR. And you have that favorite corrupt son Romney now don’t you? Medical Insurance is meant to help people, not kill them and rob them blind.
DEB3596991; You are an absolute Moron and occutard. You think the Tea Party was pissed in 2010? You better get out of the way libtard..
Does this fellow actually believe he's trying to add valuable insight & an educated opinion into the discussion? It's such a disappointment when people throw themselves into negative stereotypical behavior rather than veering far from it. Mike, do you have ANY worthwhile, factual thoughts on this subject that the rest of us can actually consider? Or is the best you can muster "Nannybooboo, you're a poopyhead!" Because, Mikey - that's exactly how you sound. BTW, my Progressive combat-vet Marine sons are laughing their heads off at your post. They're not alone.
By all means, Mike...please counter DEB's post with facts to disprove. I'll be happy to address any facts you care to contribute. Otherwise...well, let the laughter continue.
MK< you should be banned for your antisocial tendencies. Take a hike and seek counseling from a qualified psychologist. .
Mike Knapp, you are nothing I haven't heard before. Actually, I've been called much worse which is OK. But I have seen your types too much and know what you are exactly like and that is nothing good.
Mike, learn to spell, add value to the conversation, and speak like an adult. Until then, sit in a corner quietly and learn.
Just when I was about to give up on the entire system with having any rationality at all, along comes Justice John Roberts and surprises the hell not only out of me, but the entire country. I'm sure we will always be on opposite sides of the political arena Mr. Roberts, but I have to tip my hat to you on this one.
Doctor Maddow has become entirely preeeeeeeeeeeee-dictable. Her reaction to the Supreme Court ruling on Healthcare Reform fell within her usual parameters. She described the problem, chided Democrats for not "getting the word out" and gave Dems free advice. Maddow isn't a Dem, isn't a Repub, isn't an independent, isn't a moderate, is a corporate "liberal" and is a catbird. That's just what she do. She's on her own private island with a drawbridge and moat and big alligators designed to keep folks out. She doesn't show respect or allegiance to any political party. She elucidates and predictably pontificates and excoriates. She lives in permanently self imposed political exile criticizing and looking down her nose at virtually everyone. It's ok, it's what she does, it's her thing. She's predictable. She's in her own ivory tower of exclusiveness, and predictably hurls stones at passersby, which is why folks aren't inclined to pass by. Gobama!. .
Doctor Maddow's program last eve regarding the Supremes Healthcare ruling may well result in a further erosion of her Democratic viewing base. We know for a certainty now that Maddow isn't a Democrat and her predictably imperious and chastising nature is wearing thinner and thinner and thinner on real Democrats who fight for our ideals in the real world and respect President Obama. It may be true that Maddow generally disdains the concept of true respect. A respectful question for Doctor Maddow might be: Who does Doctor Maddow truly respect in the public political sphere. Elizabeth Warren I would suggest fits the bill. It would be benificial if Doctor Maddow simply took some time to say who she respects in public life, even though the concept entirely contradicts the contrarian paradigm. In actuality if you add up Maddow's self described tendencies, she's an intellectual contrarian negativist, who also mixes and shakes and stirs. .Gobama 2012!
I think that Romney's campaign staff have given Mitt express orders to NOT mention fewer firefighters....
