"This vote is not a victory for any one party"

I can't believe he kept a straight face.

[Rolling squid]

Some guy named 'Nathan Dale' or something just resigned as a representative from Georgia, I think..

EDIT: Nevermind, a retirement.

Dammit. I thought for a moment the republicans were going to start resigning en masse.

[Ashmoria]

Nathan Deal (sp?) resigned!

why did he do that?

He's running for governor.

oh
well good luck to him on that, then.

[Greed and Death]

I believe that guy is in fact actually confused.

"thats not how our government works"? well apparently it is

We still got about a dozen Scotus rulings to get through. I hope they get so tired of people trying to find different ways to make the mandate unconstitutional they rule it as such jsut to be able to get back to being Scotus.

Actually they just announced a boycott of both chambers and issued a call for secession.

Yeah lets hope SCOTUS becomes lazy that will solve all our problems.

I don't Understand why everyone thinks that free healthcare to the poor is a bad thing. My family is Very poor, and my mother doesn't have health insurance, and she will probably never be able to afford it. This could help a lot of people.

i dont understand it either. there is no benefit to letting people suffer unnecessarily.

Sure there is... an extra $5-6 in your pocket is worth the suffering of thousands.

that 5-6 dollars will still be in my pocket regardless.
I will utilize all means to avoid taxation.

How wonderful of you, never consider that people like you are a big reason the nation is fucked in the first place.

Seceding from the U.S., especially during this time of economic instability, would be incredibly detrimental for all parties involved.

No crap.

Well, it's over. I'm going to bed. See you all in 10 hours or so.

I'm sure someone already said this but it passed in the house.

It passed?

IT PASSED!!!!

Now, who has the beer and the music, 'cause its time to PAR-TAY!

[De Jewish Mafia]

What just happened?

I dont know how I got out of the loop, but I have no idea what just passed.

health care.

YAY!

[Garhza]

I'm a bit upset that you'll be fined if you don't take their insurance.

But what pisses me off is that people are forced thru the HMO's who have been screwing people for years. How the hell can you just force a nation to have insurance through the same people that are not only responsible for denying health coverage to people in dire need of it, but also give tax credits to said HMOs who are pretty much the root problem of this whole healthcare issue?

Firstly: haha, Boehner. Second, is the sound going weird for anyone else? He sounds like a robot.

He IS a robot.

Asimov's Three Laws of Republicanism:

1. A Republican must never harm a corporation nor, through inaction, allow a corporation to come to harm.

2. A Republican must obey every order given by a corporation, except when this would violate the First Law.

3. A Republican must act to preserve his own existence, except when this would violate the First or Second Law.
