Well, you have been. But the plum can use some folks to argue with

Just visiting. No boat.

Eisboch (best holiday wishes to all)


No sweat, Richard. Being boatless puts you in the majority around here.
:) Have a safe holiday and a healthy new year.

Garbage. "If we?re able to stop Obama on this it will be his Waterloo.
It will break him." Want to guess who said that? It doesn't sound
much like they are interested in health care, just interested in
defeating Obama.

Who said that? Rush? Really man, stop listening to blather radio... We
don't...

No, it was Senator Jim DeMint.


I think his advice is still valid! :)

Yep, the right will do anything at any cost to derail anything the
left does, not matter how good it is, how many people will benefit, or
what it will do.

Don't be too sad. I'm OK.

If the Democrats would propose an adequate health care plan, it would
probably pass. To blame the non-passage on the Republicans is very
Reid-like, but also bull****.

If this health plan is so great, why hasn't it been made public? Why
are
Republican senators prevented from seeing the bill?

Read this. It's from a liberal newspaper, so it must be true.

In the meantime, keep blaming the Republicans for the bill not

Not even Howard Dean does that.

Read for content, John. I didn't blame the Republicans for the bill not
passing. The Republican party is irrelevant, and it will remain
irrelevant until they get there house in order. Pandering to their
"base", all 20% of the population, will keep them irrelevant.

You're right. I misread. I thought your reference to the "Party of No"
was a jab at Republicans. But it seems as if the Democrats are doing
it to themselves.

If the Democrats would propose an adequate health care bill it would
pass with support from both sides. It would also stand the test of
daylight.

I am sorry but it bugs me big time that no democrats are concerned about
the secret meetings and the lack of any time to review the biggest bill
in history. That has got to set off bells with even the lowest level
thinkers...


Secret meetings? You mean the Dem caucus and the President? Or, perhaps
you're talking about Dick Cheney's meetings with Big Oil.

Sounds like you need a refresher course in gov't process.

Your blind hatred still won't allow you to spell your president's name
correctly, huh? That's just sad.

Very sad... says a lot about John.

I will point out, you reap what you sow.
I remember the way the left mangled Bush's name.

Either you respect the office or personal attacks are fine, your
choice.

I have great respect for the office. It's the current occupant I find
somewhat problematic. I guess I'm just not in favor of the government
running everything. The Russians tried it, even added 'socialist' to
the name of their country. The folks who got ahead were not the common
folks, they were the politicians who had the good spots in the
government. Liberals just can't seem to understand that.

What in hell do you think John POSTS this political **** for, if not
for liberal vs. conservative? And that argument has NO bearing on the
fact that John lumps ALL liberals into his very narrow minded slot.
LIke this:

Liberals just can't seem to understand that.

Now you tell me, how in hell would he know what all liberals think and
understand??? I'm telling you, I'm sick of his bull****.

Bull****, show me where he said everything was either liberal or
conservative?

They won't address the fact that the bill is kept hidden.

Yet they'll talk about Republicans 'blindly' doing this or that. If
pushing an unseen bill isn't 'blindly' following, then I don't know
what it.

I remember they made huge over Cheney and energy experts having secret
meetings, now everything is a secret meeting, even the law to be signed
is secret. How can fair minded folks tolerate it? It's silly..

Sunshine and openness were the footblocks of Obama's campaign. You hold
repubs more accountable for screwing around on their wives because they
campaign on "family values", so we can hold you to "change and
openness", right??
