I mean yeah if "the easy way out" = "abortion", no questions asked, then it's kind of pointless of me to say it's not really all that easy for these people, or point out the hardships for someone going through the process.

Adam Bruneau, Friday, 19 March 2010 16:05 (fourteen years ago) link

Let's be clear. If a woman chooses to be a wanton harlot, it's still her choice to make. I wouldn't recommend being dumb about contraception and protection, but the moral argument that abortion encourages harlotry leaves me entirely cold.

Il suffit de ne pas l'envier (Michael White), Friday, 19 March 2010 16:08 (fourteen years ago) link

"wanton harlot" = how nineteenth century of you!

Not looking very dandified today - wearing blue jeans and a blue shirt. Maybe I just escaped from prison.

i always find it hard to believe, but i guess representatives and senators who vote "yes" to HCR might pay a severe price in november.

i guess the only answer is pass HCR fast, and spent quality months rehabilitating the vote with constituents.

If only they could make things like discrimination based on pre-existing conditions and dropping coverage in the middle of when it's needed most, if they could make the most important and visible parts go into effect THE DAY they sign it, then wouldn't the voters have a nice 6 months of living w this new improved system before deciding if they hate it or not?

Adam Bruneau, Friday, 19 March 2010 16:27 (fourteen years ago) link

Daniel,

The result: Repeal 45%, expand 29%, leave as is 18%.

That essentially adds up to 45% against and 47% for.

voters are stupid they're gonna forget a lot of stuff about this bill once it's passed

Yeah, and I've got a bag of dicks I can sell you.

The Magnificent Colin Firth (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 19 March 2010 16:32 (fourteen years ago) link

Voters aren't stupid – anyone who isn't ideologically aligned with a political party is an "independent" who's merely disenchanted with the party in power, and looking to punish whoever's in power.

tea partiers are in this group, and i would call them stupid.

Mr. Que, Friday, 19 March 2010 16:35 (fourteen years ago) link

Tea baggers were never gonna support this anyway, so they're irrelevant.

The Magnificent Colin Firth (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 19 March 2010 16:37 (fourteen years ago) link

they vote, and they're stupid. just sayin'

Mr. Que, Friday, 19 March 2010 16:37 (fourteen years ago) link

my understanding is that this is the thread where i can come if i wish to buy a bag of dicks

Honestly, anyone willing to align themselves with the Tea Party axis is a mouth-breathing feeb. There's a difference between disagreeing with the controlling political party and being a batshit crazy racist; if you can't see that, you are an idiot (and also, as a bonus, a batshit crazy racist).

smoking cigarette shades? it doesn't even make any sense. (HI DERE), Friday, 19 March 2010 16:39 (fourteen years ago) link

So if you're aren't aligned with one of these two main corporate shill parties you are stupid?

some people are stupid, and some people are not stupid, and some people vote, and other people dont vote

Adam, are you dressed like Ben Franklin and standing in front of a courthouse with a megaphone?

dan picking on the easy option, unles they get someone to read that to them he gets off scot free

DarraghmacKwacz (darraghmac), Friday, 19 March 2010 16:42 (fourteen years ago) link

So if you're aren't aligned with one of these two main corporate shill parties you are stupid?

if you swing your vote between either party based solely on "those clowns in congress have done it again, what a bunch of clowns"-level understanding of how policy is implemented, you are stupid. and unfortunately, much of the time that's what being an "independent" voter in this country boils down to.

famous for hating everything (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 19 March 2010 16:44 (fourteen years ago) link

from everything i've read about the teabaggers, they are batshit crazy racists, *and* they want to punish the parties in power. so they'd fall under both categories. yay democracy!

By now, most Americans know the dirty details of Obamacare. It raises taxes. It will force Americans to pay for other people's abortions. It will put the government in charge of more than 18 percent of our private sector economy. It may provide benefits to up to 6.1 million illegal immigrants. It diminishes liberty and gives government more power.

hits that beautiful psycho trifecta of 1) referencing the civil war 2) literally making something up whole sale 3) not really making sense on any level at all

max, Friday, 19 March 2010 17:03 (fourteen years ago) link

4) calling the Civil War the War Between the States.

The Magnificent Colin Firth (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 19 March 2010 17:04 (fourteen years ago) link

i love how the dipshit has to give the Civil War two different names.

Traitorous rebels.

Il suffit de ne pas l'envier (Michael White), Friday, 19 March 2010 17:05 (fourteen years ago) link

So if illegal immigrants don't buy private insurance they have to pay the fine as well, right?

There's a news segment in the Onion movie where Georgia adds a Swastika and a middle finger to the state flag.

I think the procedure is to hold them upside down and shake before catapulting them them over the border fence.
