Ok, lame question, but HOW do you sign your name to reps?? I have been trying to figure that out!
I DO take the title of at least one of your Mystery Reppers!
It took me forever to figure it out, myself! If you click the balancing scales to the immediate right of the post number of the post you want to "rep", a window pops up and you can just type your name or write a comment and put your name at the end, whatever you'd like to type. You can even use emoticons in there.
The "Life" part....I would think, wouldn't you? Many accross America go untreated or die accross America because they can't afford to: see a doctor or get to get the proper treatment for their conditions.

No one really knows what bills we're even debating. And to compound that issue, even if they did, few people really understand the implications of any of this.
If there was ever anything I agree with it is that. Obama has provided very little leadership on this issue. Almost absent.
The republicans used the reconciliation process in 2001 and '02 to push through tax cuts without bipartisan support. So, let them object all they want, just so we health care reform passed.
Democrat56s like ted Kennedy even tried to disrail the prescription drug paln for seniors. They constantly tried to pass funding bills for iraq that required troops pout on 18 months 'yet you don't see that now. They constantly siad the surge was not working. Bascailly they blocked everyhting they could and how they cry liike babies. So if they have the support why not send the bill(s0 to teh floor for a voite. Why/ Because they don't have the vote because there liberal wing bills that even many democrats don't support. Certailnly pols show the majority of americans don't support the palns.The only ones supporting it are the left wingers who always want to spend moeny and have someone else pay for their entitlements.No change at all in the Tax and spend.Otherwise they would propose that veryone pay higher taxes to pay fpor their bills.which they don't/if your not willing to pay for it;you don't really want anyhtihng but a handout IMO.
Can you name a piece of legislation that enjoyed 100% support among the citizenry? I can't. Therefore, every piece of legislation has been "rammed down" somebody's throat. Such hyperbolic rhetoric is not only redundant, but shows critics for what they are: Fear mongers.
The majority of Americans believe that passing no bill is better than the House version now being considered. If the majority of Americans are against the bill, then it should be scrapped or introduced at a later date. I fail to see why this administration is dead set on ramming ANY healthcare bill through congress without proper consideration.
Passing a bad bill is foolish. Once passed it would be almost impossible to kill the tenets of the bill or dismantle the bureaucracy that it creates. I see you failed to address that portion of the reply.
In true liberal fashion you find it impossible to intelligently defend your position without falling back on the party line of "fear mongering". Why not go ahead and throw in the "race card" for good measure?
The fact that they are false. The house bill will enact a mandate. If employers choose the fine instead of offering coverage (which is cheaper), they will drop the current plan the company and its employees have. In addition, there is a clause saying that if you change you existing plan in any way (even minor adjustments), you will have to re-enroll in a Government approved plan.
Too late for the tax portion. There has already been an increase on cigarette taxes at the federal level, regardless of the purchasers' incomes.
What part of 'think for yourself' do you not understand?
Ok, ok, we get it. Here's my question for you ... do you oppose ALL social government programs? Are you of dick armey mindset?
