Yeah sure....been listening to Rush already this morning? Time to start thinking for yourself now..

This is a crushing defeat for the GOP. After Brown was elected to Kennedy's old seat, the Republicans were declaring health care dead..

Now, all they're doing is sniveling...

lol! No, we don't think we'll be getting free healthcare. We just want reasonable costs. Obviously the current system passed "reasonable" years ago and is part of what's suppressing the middle class. How many of us went through the Bush years with little to no pay increases because our employers were forking over more and more money to health insurance companies???

I dont know about you but I'm at a doctors visit 1-2 times a year, which comes to $200. You cant afford that but you can afford the new taxes in this bill which is 3-4 times this amount?

more whining and crying.. I cant afford $200 a year!!!!

Sucks to be you I guess... There is always welfare

Yes, there is most certainly class warfare in the U.S. It was waged by the rich against the poor and middle class! Americans finally woke up in 2008 when they realized what was happening!

Healthcare IS brought to you by the people. In the last election cycle the people elected the DEMOCRATS and threw the all white party out.

Stop sniveling..

We're a family of 4 with a $2000 deductible! Then bills roll in after every office visit on top of that. Try having little kids and then see how affordable the current system is.

And nobody was listening to the people. The government knows what's good for the people.

Another uninforumed posting by a liberal.. no surprise...
What, they have oil so we shouldnt bomb them? Where was that rule of law written?
They had WMD's, which were found..
Bush inherited a recession, with increasing unemployment.

You dont seem to have a lot of facts..

Democrats were the recipiant of the lobbying.. Not Republicans.. Clinton and Obama received FAR MORE money from lobbiest than the GOP.. Again, facts you liberals seem to ignore..

Right, people who have multiple homes and kids in private school cant afford $200 a year in medical care..

They did? We dont have 10% unemployment anymore? Home foreclosures arent taking place at a record pace? The GDP is up higher than government increased spending? Really? What country do you live in because it isnt america..
