Breaking News: "trickle down" economics has not worked, will never work, and is destroying our country. Henry Ford was the one with the right idea. . . pay employees enough that they can buy the product you are making. . . assures happy employees, great sales, and good for everyone! The current G.O.P. attitude seems to be pay as little as possible, do your best to work your employees to death, provide as little in the way of health or other benefits as possible, and sock away your profits to enrich yourself. nice attitude. . . huh? Oh yeah. . . they are all good "Christians", too . . . . .
Republicans are not.. Where do you get your news from? Republicans CANT stop ANYTHING from passing that Democrats want.. NOTHING..

The only thing missing in your posting are facts.. So through all of your bs moaning and groaning about Republicans and become educated on facts before you post again..

It's soooo true, but you just can't tell me about it. How convenient!
I'm also laughing at your "hundreds" of examples -- even if you were telling the truth, what's the population of the USA?

You are as transparently vile as Reagan himself.

In philly recently a woman was arrested for prostitution -- advertising her body on craig's list for a pair of world series tickets. I hope all libs are proud of themselves for being the party in power and denying tickets to everyone. I had to suffer by watching on TV. It's long past time for free world series tickets for everyone.

Look, the fix was in from the beginning dealing with these insurance companies. The insurance lobby spent 10s of millions to influence congress. Who do you think wrote that 2000 page bill, democrats? Please.
The insurance companies wrote that bill to ingratiate themselves flush with cash, placing fines on those who do not purchase from a private insurance companies, when all said and done. You have the republicans angling for Tort reform, as though that's the answer to all our prayers, knowing full well that will save insurance companies big money also. Just follow where the money goes, now Them's the facts!

You are as transparently vile as Reagan himself.
And you're as sadly blind as the guy I know who still got a college education and a good job by working hard, despite his disability. He votes Republican, btw. Reagan would be proud.

You know, just because you don't want to believe the harsh truths of the world doesn't give you the right to question those of us who have to stare it straight in the face every day.

I would love to contact the media and authorities about every fraud I see perpetrated and every abuse I see committed. But there are rules. I can't even call immigration or the police when an illegal shows up using a stolen social security number.

No surprise that Repubs don't give a damn about people like her. Republicans are just selfish.

So you are proclaiming the insurance companies are in bed with the Democrats? No argument here..

Then I guess the 144 amendments in the House and Senate healthcare bills proffered by the Republicans were not really there .....
