How the hell long will it take to vote these bozos out of office? Why can't we recall these morons?

These socialist bills make me sick! Don't they know that Europe's economy is collapsing because of socialism!

The Federal Government has the gall to continue printing money and telling everyone "Hey, we will take care of you......just keep voting us into office." When the majority of the population becomes the ones with their hands out, and the minority is paying to support the "water drinkers", then we are doomed as everyone will throw up their hands and say "Hey....why work.....I'm not only supporting myself but a family of five do nothings who have been do nothings for FOUR generations!!!!!"

Yep, really nice of her to be so generous isn't it?
How's it working out for everybody now that the true contents are coming out?
We will be learning these little tidbits for a long, long time.
GO HEALTHCARE for everybody but us. We just get the option to pay fines.

"Pelosi said, “a bill that says to someone, if you want to be creative and be a musician or whatever, you can leave your work, focus on your talent, your skill, your passion, your aspirations because you will have health care.â€

If true, sounds great to me. One shouldn't be at risk of not having health insurance because they choose to pursue their passion. I hope Nancy keeps telling it like it is.

Sweet, I'm going to quit my job, because I'm tired of paying into the system. I'm going to focus on writing songs and 'treating my glaucoma'.

Pelosi is a great example of how America is going down the tubes. At this rate I'm wondering who the Republicans have slated to win in 2012.

How about food? I want to pursue my passion, but I don't want to have to worry about making enough money to eat. Why don't YOU buy my groceries, Froz? While you're at it, you can pay my electric bill, too, because I'm going to be too concerned with being creative to earn the money for that. Oh, and my rent - if I can't afford food, then you'll certainly need to be paying my rent, too.

What a "remarkable" person you are, Froz.

I had a good laugh when I heard this:

“We see it as an entrepreneurial bill, a bill that says to someone, if you want to be creative and be a musician or whatever, you can leave your work, focus on your talent, your skill, your passion, your aspirations because you will have health care."

Meanwhile, in India, Brazil and China, the people are working their butts off to crank out goods and services, and these non-productive Pelosi-bots will be crying, "Why are our jobs going overseas."

This is about healthcare not food or anything else. There chosen profession will have to provide food and other goods but healthcare should be universal in my opinion.

To quell the impending bagger flame out, I'm a proponent of Universal Health Care so we'll have to leave it at that.

There are three things required for survival - food, clothing and shelter. Why should health care come before the essentials?
