Voting against health care reform is like voting against Civil Rights

or any number of ground-breaking, historical policies.

The republicans will look like the shits that they are and will regret the amount of effort they put into opposing it.

Your kids will look back and wonder what the f*ck was wrong with you and how you could be so short-sighted and ignorant.

Did the CRA cause the commercial real estate collapse too?

DINO — 2009-11-07T17:37:12+00:00

Conservatives who don’t know their you-know-what from a hole in the ground love to try and pin the real estate collapse on the CRA because it points the finger at their second favorite bogeyman, the poor and minority. (Their favorite is the muslim.) They won’t accept that it was the private market and Wall Street that caused themeltdown because they worship at the altar of wealth and the private sector.

Then how will the conservative slugs explain the collapsing commercial real estate market? Did the CRA force banks to loan money to rich developers to build malls and office buildings we didn’t need? Did Barney Frank’s pot-smoking boyfriend cause it? Was it sunspots? FDR? Carter?

3 signs of the next real estate collapse

CRE and the CRA

Maybe Carrick would like to weigh in on this since he’s an expert on, well, everything it seems.

Did the shooting wipe out coverage of the latest teabagger tantrum?

DINO — 2009-11-06T15:48:21+00:00

Ain’t that a shame?

Well, time to make lemonade then! Play up the mock outrage that Obama didn’t show enough sadness when talking about the shooting!

Such resourceful little sore losers you conservatives are!

About those flu shots

DINO — 2009-11-05T05:36:29+00:00

Why don’t we just open up the free market to the vaccine? Take the available doses and do an IPO. Get that price really high so it becomes attractive for the capitalists to make it faster. So it costs $1000 a dose. Tough sh*t. You got the jack, you get the stuff. If not, you go without. Enjoy your fever and chiils, suckers.

Capisce’?

Why do you slugs expect the gubmint to get you your vaccine? Do you think this is a socialist country? Obama should have let the “free market” prepare for your piddly-ass little flu vaccine. Just sat on his hands and let the for profit corporations do it all.

I certainly would make sure that not one conservative man, woman or child gets any of it. That is, unless they pay through the f*cking nose for it.

Give em a taste of the capitalism they love so much.

Bottom Line: Dems increased their majority in the House

DINO — 2009-11-04T15:19:26+00:00

An inconvenient truth for the conservatives.

But hey, you got two governors from states that often elect republicans! Woo Hoo!

Hard right conservatism is DEAD; tea party movement like poison to republicans

DINO — 2009-11-04T06:22:30+00:00

Watch as the republicans move far, far away from the extremism of the teabaggers and nutjobs that fill their ranks.

The only republicans that will win in the next several decades will be moderates.

The Conservative Movement is officially DEAD.

“They can spin it anyway they want, this is a conservative resurgence.”

DINO — 2009-11-04T05:38:37+00:00

Isn’t that funny?

Watched the premiere of V tonight

DINO — 2009-11-04T05:10:02+00:00

The plot line is that the aliens had already been here prior to their spaceship arrival. As one human put it, the Visitors were causing disruptions on earth for yearrs: unnecessary wars, economic calamity, faith turned to extremism.

It was then that I realized the Visitors were simply CONSERVATIVES!

Weekly complaint about the “new” conservative improvements to the comment system

DINO — 2009-11-03T15:08:51+00:00

Other than the loss of the html tags, the way the recent comments don’t update like they used to, and the loss of ability to post pictures, the comment counter on the recent comments section are NEVER accurate, often saying “0 comments and 0 reactions” when there’s lots of comments.

You gotta love those Twitter “reactions”, too. They really add to the conversation. Letting us know they Tweeted is such a comfort.

Do we want to put these kind of conservative changes in charge of government? Oh wait, we already removed them for just this kind of “improvement.”

Orange Slug leader says the part of NO has the health care answers

DINO — 2009-11-01T00:20:36+00:00

Of course when the republican-slugs had the wheel they didn’t do SH*T to address health care reform. In fact, premiums skyrocketed after bush took office, accelerating far faster than under Clinton. Why not? It’s not like republicans were going to rein them in!

Boehner: GOP Has Answers on Health Care Reform

Boehner outlined his party’s alternative in the GOP’s weekly radio and Internet address Saturday as Democratic proposals gain momentum in Congress and Republicans scramble for support to try to block them.

The Ohio Republican said there is a choice to be made: “We can come together to implement smart, fiscally responsible reforms to improve Americans’ health care or we can recklessly pursue this government takeover that creates far more problems than it solves.”

Boehner said a number of steps could be taken, such as letting people buy health insurance across state lines, allowing people and organizations to pool together to buy insurance for lower prices and reining in malpractice lawsuits.

Same tired, old “ideas.” All based on failed free market policies that have worked so well in other areas of the economy.

What good are republicans? What have they EVER done that has benefited the people?

NOTHING. NOTHING AT ALL.

I wish we could stop republican voters from benefiting from the programs dems and liberals pass. It’s a crime that republican voters get access to them.
