So this is what change tastes like ... pretty much the same as what we were being fed before, except more bitter and by force; like castor oil, except it makes us worse, not better.

Please define "we." I think you meant you don't want to read this stuff and just assumed everyone agrees with you. Typical Democrat.
#2 William Smith on 03/31/10 at 07:15 AM
Mr. Gieger, we do want to read this stuff.

Poor Democrats, The truth must hurt their very delicate bleeding hearts. maaaamaaaa!

I suppose Jesus faced the same ridicule while he was healing the sick, befriending thieves and prostitutes and questioning the teachings of Pharisees. Judge not and love your brother as yourself.

This bill in the long run will only mean that the hardworking taxpayer will have yet another tax to pay to support the nonworkers and good for nothings. While I am of the opinion that everyone is entitled to have insurance but why should I have to foot the bill??? I have an idea why don't we let the people that supported this bill pay for it.

I find this article to be to the point. Alot of persons have accepted Mr Obama's Socialistic Leanings, because the Media told them to. In the future I will ignore the national media's political positions, the democratic party's positions, and other political groups positions. I will vote as I feel and express myself likewise.
It is a shame what has happened to our nation, when we let our congress vote unconsitiutional actions in bills they pass. Our only answer is at the Polls when we vote. Many up for election in November are a dirty word.

I still don't understand why it was rushed through. something is smells fishy. when has anyone with brains ever signed anything without reading it first.what makes them so special that they don't have to use the same plan and save money to oh i know they actually want to be seen by a doctor and not someone with just a note pad and medical referecne book. let's do away with this bill and give them a pay cut and have the president take out a mortgage and live in a regular house and save lots of money. they waste more money than a shopaholic. this is an outrage and should be shouted down by the people. you know we the people. well if this keeps goin we're all going to be bankrupt hungry sick and homeless. maybe that's what they want to see every american begging for a handout. if they had read the bill and prayed and fasted and prayed some more and had been honest with the people God would have provided the true answers this nation is in need of. but i think you have to actually beleive in God first.

This article is right on target! We need to be informed. Our country is looking less like America, more like the USSA.

The bill dramatically changed from its original introduction because the GOP did everything in their power to shut down the government. This is something the Republicans brought on their selves. The GOP is now exposed, Party before country at any cost. I thank God for the Democrats and I think he put them on this earth to drag every backwater, hillbilly, redneck into the 21 century. I feel sorry for those so ignorant that they have no clue big business is manipulating their backward, backwoods thinking as a means for their own demise.

I fixed it for you.

Lol..you believe one politician over another. Thats ignorant.
Why dont you read the news and see what your precious GOP has been up to..but you cant find it on Fox..they dont report that sort of thing.

yeah and you need to get off your liberal horse too. none of them are any good. they all push underachievement so they will think they care so you will vote for them.

the whole house can go down. lets replace them all and start off with a new bunch. if they won't listen we'll kick them out to.

the liferes must go. no question about that. they have made a home at the house and only want you to keep them there. none of them care or they wouldn't let the corruption continue.

seems like they have been listening to the majority since 2008..maybe not the majority down south but its a nice change.

its funny to me that the same states that voted to secede from the union before the civil war are the same states that oppose heath care reform. i guess evolution is a hoax.

"i guess evolution is a hoax".

In your case it must be true. Did you make it to the 3rd grade?
#9.1.1.1.1.2 Huh? on 04/05/10 at 05:46 AM
'its funny to me that the same states that voted to secede from the union before the civil war are the same states that oppose heath care reform. i guess evolution is a hoax.'

Quick history lesson - The War Between the States began in 1861 and ended in 1865. Nebraska gained statehood in 1867. North Dakota, South Dakota, and Washington gained statehood in 1889. Utah gained statehood in 1896. Is there need for further discussion on the secession states?

Now looking back at your e-mail, hopefully you will realize evolution is a hoax for some - Not for all.
