If passing the Healthcare bill is so important it HAS to be voted in before Christmas....?

If so many people are dying every second that we need to jam this through sight-unseen, why doesn't anything (but increased taxes) take affect for another 4-5 years? If it can wait that long, why not spend more time making a bill that works?

    It is obvious it is being railroaded through because the great one, nobama, said so. People shouldn't be surprised. He did the very same thing with the billion's he ordered pushed through earlier this year. None of the members of congress had read all of that one either. Pathetic! Voters that are fed up with the reckless spending of taxpayer dollars should remember this next November.

    If the Democrats did not have to appease the pocket lint of Big Business (aka, "Republicans"), this bill would have been made available now along with the public option. It is no secret that the Party of No has done and is doing everything in it's power to kill any success of the Obama Administration especially Health Insurance (cartel) reform. What's at stake is the party's relevance if not mere existence, and if they can make the Dems fail, that gives the Grouchy Ornery Poopheads another crack at another election cycle. The Republicans want to delay only so that either public interest wanes and another national crisis dominates the media, or truly, if another Democratic Senator is enfeebled or otherwise incapacitated. This is their strategy, and if it weren't so blatantly advertised as such by the leaks of various e-mails and grandstanding Senators from OK, even I would have a hard time believing this level of depravity.

    I doubt most ppl are gullible enough to believe something that stuipid. Nothing smells more than a hunk of pork left to rot in the sunlight, best to keep it in the dark and pass it on quickly. Unfortunately its stench has already wafted over a majority of the ppl.

    >How do you write a bill without ever seeing it?

    Just curious.

    is it possible that you once agains fell for GOP sensationalism?

    By doing it in small groups behind closed doors and ammeding it up to the 11th hour. Surely you can figure that out, no? What time was the vote? Isnt it a little odd to have it at 1AM IN THE MORNING? Do you really think anyone with an iota of common sense buys the BS statements you are posting?

    Same tactic as the cap and trade bill they they didnt even have a hard copy on the floor of the senate. My oh my where do we come up with these INSANE theories...lol yea.

    How many years have we had the same system? all the sudden its a big rush. lol yea the sensationalism is on the repubican side. We dont buy your BS, none of us, so save it.

    Didn't liberals say there are 10 million people dying every day from not having nationalized health insurance? When will their sheep finally wake up!

    Avail... Really? Do think all 60 of those senators that just voted for this actually read all 2,000 pages? ave you seen a final draft? Whatever happened to pledge of every bill being debated in public? Or, is the liberal form of transparency behind closed doors?

    Source(s): Common sense...

    They need a few years of taxes before benefits kick in so they can make it look like it reduces the deficit.

    Because they will finally have to describe the bill to the population and then they wouldn't get a bill at all.

    right-wingers keep showing their irrationalist views, and wonder why everyone else thinks they aren't very bright.
