I'm not a prude concerning cussing as I do it but it does make someone like her sound ignorant doing it like this. She is representing her constituents in her role here.

It seems like the (D)'s have passed around a memo that said "Cuss, when making a point so you sound cool to the younger voters".

Not cool.

It's sad that one can not have principles. If you dislike something a politician does so many jump you as if you are holding that position only because you are trying to support the other side. Happens all the time here and other places.

I support her position but I don't care much for how she states it.......why is it one can't say that?

Now, let us get on topic.

How fast was life expectancy rising in the 8 years before 2009 and how fast in the 8 years since? It is liberals who frequently use life expectancy stats when measuring us against other nations.
Totally irrelevant stat when stated like this. Our life expectancy is lower than in Syria? Unfortunately ours is lower because of how many young inner city citizens kill each other and die from drugs. It's also lower because as a larger country we drive more miles which leads to higher traffic deaths. All that has nothing to do with the argument.

When the War on Poverty began in 1965 the rapidly dropping poverty rate suddenly stabilized.

If Obamacare is saving lives the statistics should show it.
It isn't about Obamacare even though partisans have made it so in some cases. Obamacare was nothing more than a huge welfare program for the insurance/wall street entities that run it. That a small number benefit does not in any way make Obamacare a good program.

I don't understand the fight against seeing that every person can get affordable access to health care in this country. I don't say that as a "liberal". I say that as a human being that thinks this is simply the right thing to do.

We can spend trillions killing thousands all around the world to keep Wall Street happy but we can't see that a waitress in South Dakota can afford to go see about the pain she is having in her stomach?

I don't get it.

Actually, what you don't understand is basic math (or rather you choose not to understand it). But apparently you understand income redristribution, and using a non sequitur to go off on a tangent when you can't effectively make a case.

You, you, you........last thing we need around here is another person that simply wants to attack the participants as opposed to discussing the subject.

If you disagree with something I say, state what it is and why you disagree specifically.

Sorry you can't understand a very basic refute to your comment. What you choose to not understand is that someone has to pay for your Poly Anna dream world and bitching about things like Wall Street has nothing to do with it. Is that simple enough for you? Just because you don't like a logical reply doesn't mean you're being attacked (although your logic is)

I most certainly understand that. I've addressed that over and over here.

Why is it a bad thing that a waitress in South Dakota is able to affordably see a doctor about the pain she is experiencing?

Uh, no you haven't, but when you do come up with some kind of financial plan that doesn't screw over one group of people in favor of another, do let me and everyone else on this board know so we can all live in Nirvana.

At which point, your second question will be answered.
