Jamie_B Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 [quote name='Tigers Johnson' timestamp='1288740114' post='936856'] How do you fix it? When someone calls you for an emergency call because they have not slept for four days(seriously happened)? You can't just tell him no because if he falls out for any reason and you did not take him you are going to end up in court being sued..... This current health care reform catastrophe does not fix any of that.... [/quote] I cant honestly say, but I know how you dont fix it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell even as they get voted in they are saying they wont work with the president, that there is no compromise. How is that good for anyone?

[/quote] how on earth did it get pushed through? it had months on end to be discussed and debated and voted on which was a bill that was largely their ideas. They R's had no intention on voting for any health care bill, they had 12 years of power and did nothing to fix the health care problem. This was never about compromise for the people it was about political games to regain power, and sadly it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The insurgent Tea Party-backed Republican was defeated, as expected, by Democrat Chris Coons. Republicans in the northeast can celebrate one Senate victory though.

I would love nothing more than to have the chance to kick him in the crotch as hard as I could. With a chainsaw. He's a crook, a charlatan, and a sleazebag. But he isn't crazy. Sharon Angle is clinically, needs-to-be-medicated-and-probably-wears-adult-diapers-because-she-shits-her-pants-if-she-tries-to-check-her-watch, batshit fucking crazy. Neurotic, a couple of fries short of a Happy Meal, a couple of snacks short of Scooby Doo Mystery, name your phrase lunatic. I've been listening to vitriolic, insane diarrhea spew from her mouth for damn near a year, and she is the [b]only[/b] reason this race is as close as it is. Had Sue Lowden (or hell, anyone capable of stringing together a coherent sentence) had won the nomination Reid would lose by 40 points. Unfortunately, the people here were so blinded by their rage against Reid (which I share) that they didn't [b]think[/b] before they voted. Which of course really isn't out of the ordinary but this time it's [b]really[/b] gonna hurt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
