Your post was a statement that teabaggers were better informed than Obama supporters because you'd watched some internet videos, as I recall.

So now to you citizens are politicians? Just wondering you do know the difference right?
Please explain the difference to me.

Also there isnt any politicians that I will make an excuse.They all need to be fired and we start over. How is that making excuses for anyone of them

Stating that the republican party is actually listening to the citizens of this country isnt making an excuse its stating a fact.
What was that you were saying about "not making excuses for politicians?"

So now internet videos dont extrapolate well, but little pictures do? Are you telling me you cant think longer than one frame at a time and have to rely upon pictures for your news, without knowing the source?

Good Morning,

Without a doubt the idealogy of the above post is becoming increasingly more atypical among many of the current dissatisfied Democrats and Republicans that I am currently familiar with way up here on the East coast.

The Democrats are especially eager to remove the pitiful and most troublesome "Liberal" faction from among their once proud ranks.

Also the Republicans are most eager to distance themselves from the "Extreme Right's Ultra Conservative Mindset Bunch" !

These two pathetic & destructive "Rogue" factions are the main reason's why the "Washington "Political Circus" is accomplishing a "Big Goose Egg"
when it comes to working positively and cooperatively for the betterment of the American People or the nation as a whole.

May we most expediently be done with these two factions of destructive "Bubblehead's" for the long term.

Then perhaps once and for all the elected Representatives in Washington D.C. may get on with the "Peoples Business".

Thank You / Lamar

I'm using pictures to inform you.

And it's working.

They have admitted this, so it's not just political sour grapes. I give Obama credit for going on without them so he can get done what he needs to to build a country that works. Next up, the deficit.
This is kind of my point. I generally like what is in the proposals, but do feel there not enough attention to the cost of same. I also feel there is real value in some Republican concerns, Tort reform for one, and getting genuine effort on the part of the Republicans appears to be impossible. So, if the Dems must go it alone, do it! It will be less than valuable yet more costly, but to not do anything(which the GOP wants for political reasons) is just not acceptable. We will have to accept the bad with the good, and hopefully voters will remember why.

You are informing me of what? That looking at videos is beyond your comprehension skills, but pictures work just fine for you?

Its working all right, but I'm not sure you'll like what its teaching me!

More partisan fellatio.
GOPers have forwarded reforms, they just haven't been as radical or all controlling as the Democreep version of socialism.

The voters will remember, just not for the reasons you would like.

Sorry to burst you happiness but remember Obama said he would sit everyone down and talk, have a discussion from both sides of the aisle.

Well, that has not happened. The dems have locked out the GOP from even being in on important discussions.

Also, the GOP cannot stop ANYTHING the dems want to do.

For another poster, 61% do NOT want THIS HC bill and the GOP, unlike the dems leaders listen to the people.

Some people seem to forget what the dems did from 1994-2006. Even Harry Reid shut down congress because of a crybaby issue he did not like.

How can you even go this route when the dems were far more guilty of power hungry sell out the people tactics.

WE, the majority of the people DO NOT WANT this healthcare bill to pass.

STOP confusing HC reform to this bill. It is not reform, it is stealing and giving it to people who are only 15% of the total people.

Why SCREW over 85% to take care of 15% of people who happen to mostly be welfare types who want another handout.

Grow up and think. The DEMWITS want the power and want to decide for you because they believe you are not smart enough to decide for yourself.

What's with you guys? The Republicans are irrelevant the Dems have all the votes they need to pass anything. They are a party at war with itself.
