It’s A Cause Among Many…
By Mitch Berg
…but chasing Bart Stupak (cynical whore, MI) from office with pitchforks and torches would be a fine one to put on your short list.
Yesterday’s cynical abomination has given Dan Benishek a big leg up in his race to replace Stupak this fall. Here’s the facebook page.

Foiled at the polls, unable to influence policy, the far right wing fantasizes about revenge.

So, does this mean that if I ever have to go to a hospital, and the line is too long, or my billing is correct, or something just isn’t perfect, I can get in Betty McCallum’s face and scream at her? One pundit said that once Big Government is in charge of health care, our elected politicians will spend most of their time dealing with compliants over various issues (real or imagined). Remember all of those people in New Orleans standing on their rooftops, waiting for the gov’t to come and save them?

Not to worry, Upchuck. That was the Bush administration. Competent people are in charge now.
And we have no doubt you teabaggers will continue your spittle-flecked rants against President Obama’s accomplishments. No reason not to keep it up. It’s how we tell you from normal people.

Only if you live south of Larpenteur Avenue.

Flashback to ten years ago:
“And we have no doubt you redneck rubes will continue your spittle-flecked rants against Vice President and future two-term President Al Gore’s accomplishments.”

so AC its an accomplishment to ignore the will of the American people and pass a bill that has bipartisan OPPOSITION. Have you looked at Obama’s or Congresses poll numbers lately? can you name a time between 1994-2006 when Congress was rated this low by the American people? No, you can’t because they are at a record low approval rating. But of course you and the elites know whats best for us. We just be a bunch of gun-clinging God believing retards that believe our rights come from God not god (otherwise know as Obama and Congress).

To them? Yes, Ben, it is.
That’s one of the themes of big-statism (we call it “liberalism” or “progressivism” today); their ends always justify their means.
March 22nd, 2010 at 10:31 am
And their means lead to our ends.

Who needs bipartisan support? Your party has decided to make itself irrelevant. The bill passed with majorities in both houses of Congress, teabagger tantrums notwithstanding. Democracy wins, obstructionism loses. The legislation will be signed by the president a majority of voters elected.
If more people gave a crap what you far-right types want, there’d be more of you in Congress.

Your party has decided to make itself irrelevant.
no AC after the next election it is your party who will be made irrelevant. More people do give a crap about “far-right” policies AC from 1994 to 2006 we controlled the House and Senate and from 2000 to 2006 we controlled the big 3 like you do now. We got 6 years and didn’t do much with it. 2006 and 2008 were bad for us yes but nothing compared to what 2010 will be for the National Socialist Party aka the party previously known as Democrats.

or in my case, north of 494.

In Mississippi, African-Americans make up 32% of the population, but 70% of the abortions. Gov’t funded abortions will be apart of this eventually.
So, Big Gov’t, doing the job the KKK could not.

Let’s see….we have competent people in charge now, which is why the health insurance deform bill only passed after Dear Leader wrote a Constitutionally meaningless executive order that claimed to override a provision of a bill passed by Congress.
Which will be overturned about 15 minutes after Planned Parenthood decides it wants more goverment cheese, because the executive order is in explicit contradiction to Article 1, United States Constitution.
If this is competence, I’d hate to see incompetence.
March 22nd, 2010 at 11:40 am
AC desperately tries to paint his party as the way of the future while they use ideas from the early 1900s “progressives”.
March 22nd, 2010 at 11:57 am
“Who needs bipartisan support?”
Behold the power of the Liberal Fascists.
March 22nd, 2010 at 11:59 am
Ms. Harry Pelosi is a liar. She actually said the bill protects “life” when in fact it kills life with taxpayer money. Liar.
Come on Peevee, defend your lying ilk.
March 22nd, 2010 at 12:11 pm
Don’t y’all get too excited!
RickDFL promised me in an SITD comment that universal health care would put $2500/yr in my pocket! I’m sure that if the government doesn’t come through with the shekels, RickDFL will be a gentleman and give me the money himself. He will be happy to extend extend that courtesy to all other regular commenters here.
Maybe we could get a sign up sheet?
March 22nd, 2010 at 12:25 pm
Too bad, suckers! Obamacare passes despite the furious stamping of your little feet. You don’t get $2500 from Obama, or Rick or Angryclown. You just get mocking, cause you pulled out all the stops, opened the sluice gates of Glen Beck’s tear ducts, tried to scare old people about death panels, and you frikken lost. Whistle past the graveyard all you like, you are losing losers who can’t win at anything other than losing.
March 22nd, 2010 at 12:43 pm
Chuck, the wording of the health care reform is crystal clear in not using any government money for abortions. There is no change from the policy of the Hyde Amendment decades ago. What you are advocating is not attempting to improve a situation where tens of thousands of people die every year because they have no insurance and cannot get insurance and therefore cannot get necessary healthcare – how is that valuing life? In states like Massachuesetts where they have experimented with healthcare, abortion rates have GONE DOWN and there has been no government payment for those remaining abortions either.
Trying to claim this is about government paying for abortion is inaccurate and not very smart frankly. The facts -any facts – are not on your side of the argument.
March 22nd, 2010 at 12:48 pm
KR, Pelosi was correct.
You like to demand data – you provide any you have that supports your statement.
Bart Stupak was quite clear that he thought the problem abortion language was between pages 33 and 44. I read them. There is nothing in those pages which changes the Hyde amendment relative to abortion.
As to your pin up pol Palin, there is nothing in there that even remotely addresses killing old people either.
So, dear KR, either you are a hypocrit, or you should put up or…you know…what you usually write.

Well, yeah. There is.
As to your pin up pol Palin, there is nothing in there that even remotely addresses killing old people either.
For starters, I find it hard to believe you have to resort to sexist name-calling – although to be fair it’s really all anyone has against Gov. Palin.
But, yeah – review panels that make care mangement decisions are in there. You don’t have to call ’em “death panels”, but they’re like the “care management” panels that HMOs use today – but without any chance of appeal or recourse.
Guess the “pin-up” was right again. As usual.
So, dear KR, either you are a hypocrit, or you should put up or…you know…what you usually write.
Evidence is always a good thing.
Too bad you never get it from the usual Democrat spin sites.

Wow! That’s amazing childish! Not unexpected, however.
March 22nd, 2010 at 2:11 pm
That is going to play real well with the American people. I’d love to see a Democrat run an honest ad this fall stating “we passed health care reform for you because we know what’s best for you. You are too dumb to be trusted to find your own health insurance, so we will do it for you.”
March 22nd, 2010 at 4:17 pm
Deegee, what were you saying about being a hypocrite, or you should put up or… heh heh heh
So, DG, if you could just point out in the bill where it specifically and undeniably prohibits taxpayer dollars from paying for abortions you could clear this up for not only me but millions of others citizens. Thanks in advance, dear DG. 😉
