Forcing people to buy an inferior product and not working to improve the product is a bad idea.
Passing a bill that has such huge flaws leaves little hope that the idea of health care reform will be popular enough to improve on this bill.
The Republicans are opposing the bill because that is what they do they oppose everything the Democrats do. All because they oppose the bill doesn't mean the bill is any good.
Let's talk about the timeline for the implementation of this bill. The Democrats are going to pass a bill that can only hurt them politically for 4 years while we wait for it to be implemented. Plus, passing the bill now and not helping people immediately is just plan stupid. Why bother passing a bill at all if you might not be around after 2012 to implement it?
This HCR bill is a loser. But you all feel that if we pass nothing it is a bigger loser? There is a new one the lesser of two losers.
What I say and how I feel about this bill does not matter. I am not giving dime one to any Democrat in 2010 or 2012. They didn't earn my money. The ideas and the tactics are out there on how to get things done. The President was too busy being a bipartisan idiot and is still being a bipartisan idiot when he talks about the "four" Republican ideas he is including in the bill. What about the liberal ideas? We liberals don't matter as much as the corporate fucking sellouts and that is why President Obama has been a bipartisan idiot.
The whole fucking process is fucked and you fucking idiots think that if we just pass a bill we can declare victory and go home. Remember the last moron who claimed "Mission Accomplished?"
