The Health Care Reform Address Thread

I don't know who to root for anymore. On one hand the Republicans are helping me keep the timely, top notch health care that I depend on. To demonstrate 3 of my last 5 surgeries were scheduled a week in advance. Another was scheduled for when my blood count was expected to go back to normal and the other was arranged to be right after the school year ended. It takes people in other countries 6 month to get an MRI scheduled. For me it takes a day, sometimes the same day.

However at the same time I realize the republican base is full of idiots. For example I was listening to Hannity on the radio and some guy called in talking about how the democrats are going to regret the way they're treating the Republican party in 2012 when Joe Wilson is speaker of the house and Sarah Palin is president. My goodness didn't you learn from Bush to stay away from these types of people or are you just a gluten for punishment?

Then I tune into C-Span and see a Republican convention type deal and who should show up but Ms. South Carolina herself talking about how God has a plan for her. Ironically she looked like she had just came from the infamous beauty pageant crying.

Why do these people have to be paraded around on stage? Can't you send in a check and just stay home looking pretty while talking about the plagues God will bring upon the gays? Look here's an idea stay in the closet and don't come out.

So now it's between the incompetent republicans and the overtaxing, hands on mother-in-law party also known as the Democrats. If only every country could be so lucky. Of course when I put it that way maybe I can look and say that things aren't so bad after all.

Yep -- you and I are on the same page here. If the Republicans could ditch the looney, bible-thumping evangelical zealots they'd be okay with me.

Republicans: Drop your obsession with homosexuality, admit that the anti-abortion crusade is lost, and give up the self-appointed role of police chief of the planet earth. Do these things and you'll start winning elections again.

Amen. The base allows themselves to get distracted from the issues that really matter.

How you can view gay marriage as more important than wars or finding jobs for the 9% of citizens who are unemployed is beyond me. Actual lives and livelihoods are a lot more important than whether a gay dude can get married or whether he has to just live together with his life partner.

I thought that trillion dollars that Obama got to fix things was going to take care of unemployment and so much other stuff. Maybe he just waisted that trillion dollars like all the other money Washington waist. I do think Acorn got some of that money so they probably helped keep the unemployment down by putting more hooker's on the streets.

They act like they aren't just as responsible for the over-spending.

Do you know about how bad things got under JC. Spending was not the issue it was inflation, loans for a home around 18% and higher, gas lines, no foriegn policy, etc....

Stop. Read what I wrote. It has nothing to do with Jimmy Carter. For the love of god read. You can read right? You don't have some learning disability that inhibits you from reading something and properly comprehending what is being conveyed right?


edit: it occurs to me that you didn't actually read the article so you have no context for what I wrote. In which case you are a dumbass. The article, like ym post, has nothing to do with JC other than referencing that crap got bad when he was Pres. Again...please make an attempt at knowing WTF you are talking about before you post.

If you can read then please do explain your response. It lacks sense.

I was working and only read some of the article and your right my response missed your point. Why couldn't you just have asked if a read the entire article instead of the long rant calling me a dumb ass? That would have been alot easier and my reply would have been alot better.
