The General Politics Thread

With the whole healthcare issue being challenged now, I just have a simple question to ask anyone here who thinks they can answer it. If the damned thing will cost so much in the long run, and will be added to the rest of Washington's unfunded liabilities now totaling 67 trillion, then how the hell did both parties approve it without any serious debate or even sense?

Well, the D's had a majority in both the House and the Senate.

Quote:

The PPACA passed the Senate on December 24, 2009, by a filibuster-proof vote of 60–39 with all Democrats and two Independents voting for, and all Republicans voting against. It passed the House of Representatives on March 21, 2010, by a vote of 219–212, with all 178 Republicans and 34 Democrats voting against the bill.

Plus, apparently, nobody actually read it.

That's probably the biggest thing she's ever put in her mouth.

You tell her. Show her how it's done, douche bag.

Yikes. Not even a picture of Michele Bachmann deepthroating a "corn dog" can bring our fractious little political minds together.

His comment was inane regardless of his political leanings. I don't think a lot of people have put anything twelves inches long in there mouth outside of the porn industry.

Those fucking eyes are what gets me. I heard she has 23 foster children. Some weird ideological brainwashing practice I'm sure. Apparently she was from Iowa originally I was told so hoping that explains why people would be idiotic enough to vote for her.

She's just another neocon / theocon, though she likes to pretend that she is a Constitutionalist. Ain't fooled, me.

Ron Paul absolutely destroyed all the other RINO meat puppets that participated in the GOP debate.

He predicted this shit many years ago, and explained exactly how and why it was bound to happen... but of course, nobody listened.

People here in the US need to pay attention to the man, he knows whats up and he isn't afraid to tell it like it is.
I'll find the video later and post it for anyone that is interested.
