DaGoat “Not so fast” — Florida, South Carolina, Alabama, Nebraska, Texas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Washington, Utah, North Dakota, and South Dakota, so farInteresting article – Virginia contends someone who chooses not to buy insurance is not engaging in commerce, therefore the feds have no jurisdiction under interstate commerce.
the fact is that the two parties right now seem incapable of working together for the common good or even agreeing what that common good is..”

Replace the word “two” with the word “one” and you’ll have an accurate sentence. The GOP is NONE about the common good and ALL about whoring for their corporate pimps, domestic and foreign…
If you think I’m kidding their chief clown-prostitute Glenn Beck just recently asked the catholic faith and other sects of christianity [in their entirety] to turn their backs on their lifelong faiths and insert a capitalistic credo where compassion once was preached…

Dems drop ‘deem and pass’ plan
Wire servicesLocal News – March 21, 2010 – 9:57am
WASHINGTON With tea party demonstrators rallying outside to protest the legislation, the House Rules Committee chaired by Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-Fairport, dropped a controversial plan that would have “deemed” Senate-approved health care legislation passed as part of a resolution setting rules of debate. The maneuver had been seen as a way to allow Democrats to avoid voting on the bill.
During the debate, Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, pleaded with Slaughter to allow separate votes on the underlying Senate bill and the fixes.
“This process corrupts and prostitutes the system,” he said.
Slaughter chastised Barton, a
leader on health care, and said his party had “opted out” of cooperating on the legislation. “We have to get on with it,” she said.

No Parliamentary Shortcut
12:40 am March 21, 2010, by Jamie Dupree
House Democrats on Saturday backed off a controversial plan to approve a Senate health care bill using an arcane parliamentary shortcut and will instead allow a direct vote on both a health care reconciliation bill and a Senate-passed health care bill.
As the House Rules Committee began its work Saturday morning on the parameters for the health care debate, every Republican slammed the idea of an indirect vote on that Senate bill.
“This process corrupts and prostitutes the system,” said Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX).
But Democrats led by Rules Committee Chair Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY) turned aside such complaints, reminding Republicans that they had used self-executing rules repeatedly when the GOP ran the U.S. House.
A few hours later though, Democrats suddenly changed their tune, announcing that there would be no parliamentary shortcut, that the House would vote directly on the Senate bill.

The day’s first battleground was the House Rules Committee, which began meeting in the morning. Republicans repeatedly accused the Democrats of trying to avoid a politically charged vote on the Senate bill through a parliamentary maneuver called “deemed to have passed.”
Originally, leaders were considering incorporating the Senate version of the healthcare bill that was passed before Christmas into the package of amendments. This process — commonly used in prior Congresses — would “deem” the Senate bill passed without a debate that the GOP would like to have for its own political reasons in this midterm election year.
Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) urged rules Committee Chairwoman Louise M. Slaughter (D-N.Y.) to pass an open rule instead of the “deemed to have passed” version so that policy differences between Democrats and Republicans could be openly debated.
“This process corrupts and prostitutes the system,” he said.

Behind the scenes, Ms. Pelosi was working aggressively to address the concerns of anti-abortion Democrats. She met with at least three of those lawmakers — Representatives Christopher Carney and Kathy Dahlkemper of Pennsylvania and Steve Driehaus of Ohio — none of whom had publicly decided.
The official action on Saturday was in the House Rules Committee, which labored to set the formal terms of the debate for Sunday’s showdown.
Before Democrats decided to take a direct vote on the Senate health care bill, Representative Joe L. Barton, Republican of Texas, described the plans to approve it without a direct vote as “a sleight-of-hand subterfuge” that would allow lawmakers to avoid accountability.
“This process corrupts and prostitutes the system” and could “unleash a cultural war” over the legislation, Mr. Barton said.

… You know what’s coming next if this happens?” she said, referring to the health bill’s passage. “They’re going to come after gun control.”
Retired businessman Randy Simpson, 67, of Seneca, S.C., also said the health bill was just a first step.
“My concerns are about the health care bill, and the direction it takes us is toward communism, quite frankly,” he said.
At a daylong meeting of the House Rules Committee, members of both parties squeezed into a tiny hearing room traded accusations in a session that was often a shouting match.
“You all in the minority know what the American people think,” Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla., said loudly and mockingly at Republicans repeatedly saying the public overwhelmingly opposes Obama’s health care bill.
Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, said a tricky voting procedure Democrats had been contemplating “corrupts and prostitutes the system” and would “unleash a cultural war in this country.”

After the U.S. House of Representatives passed the landmark bill in a cliffhanger vote, the jubilant President declared, ‘This is what change looks like’ – a reference to his campaign mantra.
Supporters compared the vote on Sunday night to the enactment of civil rights laws in the 1950s and 1960s.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi paid tribute to the ‘extraordinary leadership and vision’ of Mr Obama for making healthcare the defining issue of his presidency.
‘This is the civil rights act of the 21st century,’ added Congressman Jim Clyburn, the top-ranking black member of the house.
Obama support organisation closed by prostitute scandal
A powerful group that endorsed Obama during the 2008 election campaign has disbanded after a prostitute scandal.
ACORN announced yesterday that it was closing amid falling revenues, six months after video footage emerged showing some of its workers giving tax tips to conservative activists posing as a pimp and prostitute.

… So Good To Me” is a breezy track that celebrates the virtues of a simple life and a good companion. “I came up with the chord progression, and I liked it, but I really didn’t know what words to put to it,” says Harris. “It took me a long time to get the words together. In the end, the song feels like a plant that I grew over the course of many months. Other songs just sprout up overnight, but this was one that I had to pay attention to. But I put in the work and it paid off, and I was happy with the result.”
On a darker note, “Pimps and Thieves” paints a grim picture of the entertainment industry and all of its inherent dead ends, with ominous accents and fills provided by saxophonist Gordon Jones. The tone shifts to something a bit more lighthearted a couple tracks later with the island backbeat of “Run Around Girl.”

If you’re like me, then you moved to Sylvan Park so you could feel like you’re living in a neverending outtake from Gummo. While my cat has yet to be killed by underage half-wit rapscallions, I have found myself beating up furniture, pimping out mentally challenged whores and eating spaghetti in the bathtub with greater frequency. Such is life in Nashville.

Me: What an intellectually dishonest piece. It repeats Republican talking points, says absolutely nothing about fixing unethical private insurance practices, and ignores that more than 44,000 die each year from not having insurance.
Respondent: You’re “intellectually dishonest” because you don’t tell us where you get your information. These people would’ve died anyways even if they had insurance. And besides, Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) says this is the crown jewel of socialism, so I believe her.
Me: The study was done
, and controlled for ailment types, age, etc. This means they asked questions like, “Were the 44,000 who died excluded from life saving care because they had no insurance?” … Also, using Rep. Bachmann as your reference for socialism is like using prostitute connoisseur, and Louisiana Senator, David Vitter to define family values. Neither one understands what they’re talking about.
