As always.

caught Boehner in the midst of nicotine withdrawal!

"Don't get sick"
and "If you do get sick, die quickly!"

All the Republicans really care about is the .9% tax on high incomes for Medicare, and the extra 3.8% capital gains tax on high incomes. That's why it has to be repealed 'root and branch'.

They're all about money, greed, and entitlement, and pulling up the ladder behind them after they've used it to climb up to higher levels - so YOU can't follow and get some, too. They just aren't wired to think about helping others. They're simply not. It's not what they're about. At least not anymore.

But lousy when it comes to solving problems.

Republicans -- we don't need them. And I don't want them.

just ask the right questions and KEEP ASKING THEM when you get a FAIL response

is if you had shown up for the 60 Minutes interview to go KICK SOME REPUKE ASS, YES INDEED!

a book with blank pages. Boner's been carrying it around for years now.

the Civil Rights Act - "don't worry - we'll fix it. Some of those things that were taken out, we can put them back in..." And blah-blah-blah.

So guess what happened when they got into positions to be able to do that?

"Oh, no, not now - we've gotta deal with abortion! Later maybe... well, NEVER MIND. Move along! Nothing to see here! Um - what did you say your problem was?"

What I REALLY hate is all those gullible idiots who believe the first part. And trust them. And fall for it. And KEEP falling for it, election cycle after election cycle! And are just SURE they'll be true to their word and fix it and try to help people. Doesn't anyone keep track? Doesn't anyone pay attention? Doesn't anyone LEARN???? Election cycle after election cycle the voters fall for it. Again and again. They never get it.

These republi-CONS are the "other priorities" people. Just like their pal the dick cheney.

They're the "IGMFU" people. "I-Got-Mine, F-U!"

They're the "Sucks to be You" people. They don't want to help you. They figure they're not there to help you, in the first place. In their philosophy, YOU are on your own.

That "personal responsibility" stuff. That alleged "get the government off your back" stuff. It's all a load of bullshit. It's just fancy talk for SCREW YOU - you're not rich so who needs YOU? Go away and figure it out for yourself. I don't want to help you and who says I have to? As their hero Cain (the one they REALLY worship, after all) once said - "Am I my brother's keeper"? They'd rather not have to bother with you anyway. You're just in the way. Your sniveling little "needs" and "problems" take time away from their need to fellate and otherwise service the super-rich.

proposal for that plan yet. It's 2015. That's five years.

If Republicans can't work faster than that, they are just incompetent. Why are they even considered to be a plausible political party.

Five years of negativity and nothing to show for it.

And if they bring in a proposal next month or next year, it will be ridiculously late.

How many people would have died this past year were it not for the ACA?

I'm betting lots. The ACA makes it possible for people who otherwise would not be able to afford the health care they need but who have chronic health conditions to see a doctor, get treatment, advice on healthy living and live longer.

Republicans = negativity not solutions.

There is no alternative except to "die quickly". The lack of compassion on the part of the Republicans is something they need to be nailed for harder. ANYONE in congress who voted for repealing Obamacare, tie the vote around their neck and bury them for doing so. Let people know these so called "deficit hawks" are the ones who actually want to INCREASE the deficit. Hit them, bury the, hit them, bury them, hit them, bury them!!!

Or unless, because your illness is incurable and worsening, you want your doctor to help you die.

That's about as conservative as you can get. And when do people not have a doctor/patient relationship when receiving health care?

The whole "government takeover" is a fiction too and they know it.

Hell, I've heard some RW radio talkers claim the ACA is the Republican response to "Obamacare" and we should thank them for preventing the Commies from having their evil "Death Panels".

Are the greatest delivery system the world has every known. WHAT A JOKE!

While I don't hold 60 minutes in high regard, I will probably watch this now just to see them act like dumb asses.

Subsidize it. I really don't see how any of the claims he makes counters any of it. The biggest changes were expanding coverage & how it covering more rather than less when it comes to "preexisting conditions" and a mandate to purchase from private insurers.

Though the private insurance industry isn't that diverse, people that aren't on an employee health plan experience the squeeze from the monopoly. Usually a state just has Blue Cross or Blue Shield if they have more than 1.

And I just happened to turn on the tv last night and saw those two clowns and tried to listen. I just couldn't.

I'll likely write off 60 minutes as Republican propaganda.

The last hard hitting news story that made a deep impression on me was " American Soldier Beaten at Gitmo ". A soldier volunteered to wear an orange jumpsuit and a hood at the request of an officer. Then the was put in a room and declared uncooperative. He was beaten senseless and left with a seizure disorder. Then denied compensation or care. It may still be on Google.

I have often used that story as a reason to close that hellhole.

I want what Boehner's been smoking.
