That's just what the conservatives would want you to believe because they put the almighty dollar over the health of their own citizens. Their day will come though. The ACA is just the first step to single payer. When that bill comes up for a vote the tea party republicans will be long gone from the political scene.

The sooner the better!!! we shouldn't be tagged with a dollar sign on our foreheads of how much profit healthcare and insurance should be making off of us.

Not really .. I think the Australians see thru' the facade rather well me thinks ... They do, after all, have the tendency to be rather vocal in their views and opinions. They can see things that we can't because they have no skin in the game.

There isn't much of a difference between the political parties these days in America.

One pointed out that if our political parties weren't so similar, we would have less of a problem moving forward.

What took so long? They're most likely laughing as we join their status as "dud" countries. The entire goal of Obama was to take us off the world power status. He's done a great job of that. Liberals cheer because they think it's not fair the US is a superpower. Well now you know why I think liberals are all idiots.
Lol! Of course! Every country on earth is a "dud" country except for 'Merica.
Does your chest ever hurt from all that thumping you do?

No, actually we spend our money patrolling and searching our skies for missiles headed your way. And as it happens, some of the communications gear your military uses comes from here. I know, I work on it. And as it also happens, a friend of mine lost both his legs in Afghanistan, helping you guys fight your war.

What have you ever done for me? Or him?

What we REALLY need is someone to protect us from you.
You're not protecting us....you're looking after your own best interests, so stop acting like it's a magnanimous act on your part.
