kentuckyliz said...: Rialby--that's the point. My smoking again after surviving three cancers that the government didn't pay for--is my act of defiance to the socialist control freaks.

PS Does Donna Brazielle really believe this will lower the deficit!?; 3/21/10, 9:53 PM
Mark said...: In a bad economy, a large, dense, and oddly shaped tool has just been thrown into the gears of one-sixth of the machine.

I'm sure there won't be any unexpected side-effects.

You mean Republicans didn't like it. Shocking. They won't vote for Democrats anyway.; 3/21/10, 10:02 PM
Palladian said...: Now that our health is a public matter, have you been tested for STDs lately, Zachary?

I'm currently writing letters to my (Democrat) congresspersons demanding investigations into the unhealthy sexual practices promoted by Zachary's employer, Unzipped.net. We can't have them continuing to destroy America's health, which is now a public, nationalized commodity.; 3/21/10, 10:03 PM
Palladian said...: "You mean Republicans didn't like it. Shocking. They won't vote for Democrats anyway."

Palladian said...: I'm a faggot, danielle. A cocksucker.

I'm just playing by Alinsky house rules. I hear they're going to be replacing the Bill of Rights sometime soon.; 3/21/10, 10:14 PM
Unknown said...: Zachary Paul Sire said...

So proud of my country!

Yes, I suppose people like you would consider this the Soviet Union's revenge for the Cold War.

Democracy WORKS! A great day for America.

As I said in an earlier post, I wasn't aware bribery and ignoring the consent of the governed were part of democracy.

Congrats to Nancy Pelosi, who is one of the most successful Speakers in history! Or should I say HERstory! He he :-)

If the economy doesn't turn around (and it won't), you and she will both be laughing out of the other side of your faces. (Given her addiction to Botox, she should have an easy time of it); 3/21/10, 10:15 PM
Zachary Sire said...: I love it! Someone just yelled "baby killer" on the House floor! Is Palladian in DC?! Sounds like something his batshit crazy ass would do! LOL; 3/21/10, 10:15 PM

avwh said...: Beginning now, the Democrats own the health-care system in America: every hiccup, every complaint, every long line, every botched operation, every relative denied timely treatment.

It's all yours.

Let's see how many yes votes live to return in 2011...; 3/21/10, 10:38 PM
garage mahal said...: Better hope you're not on their political bad sides, or you're going to the boneyard!

Better us than bitter and miserable fucksticks like you that call for spilled blood over health care bill votes. Or your racist asshole teabagger bretheren that call people n*ggers and spit on them on their way to a vote. Real darlings, you all. In truth, people like you would love nothing more than putting your boot on someones neck. That's why you always think someone else is trying to do it to you.; 3/21/10, 10:41 PM
Chip Ahoy said...: Shut up. Shut up, Everybody. Obama is speaking about healthcare again.

Wait!! Maybe Palpatine had a sex change and 400 Botox treatments and became....

SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE!; 3/21/10, 11:12 PM
Freeman Hunt said...: If this passes, I'm going to start smoking again.

Since the whole bill is based on fantasy, surely they remembered to include:

Section 3,203,485: The causation of cancer and/or other diseases associated with human lungs shall NOT be smoking. Any smoke found to have caused cancer and/or other diseases associated with the human lungs shall be fined and/or imprisoned as outlined in Section 34,345, Sub-Section 9.; 3/22/10, 12:01 AM
