Why? The Commies were weak and had a terrible economy and let any old person join their country. Plus they committed far worse crimes in both peace and war. Remember the Winter War? The Right at least has a strong military. What does the left have?

morals

You mean not showing up for work for 3 weeks straight is a good morale to have? You mean killing the economy is good as long as it gets you what YOU want? Man and I thought you liberals were selfish before!

[Beldonia]

Honestly, most of the time, death threats are just stupid people who think it's funny. I mean, if you're going to kill someone, why give them time to prepare or get body guards or take precautions?

For what we want, WE don't WANT two wars but YOU WANT wars, WE have morals, because we care about the working class and know that the Koch brothers didn't vote the republican Nazi's in office. The Repubs did the most un-democratic thing ever THEY forcefully pushed something through without any second thoughts they passed a law like dictators.

[Turmoilandia]

The leaders of the Democratic Party and of the unions should denounce those who send death threats and call for those who make such threats to be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible under the law. In the meantime, they should call off the angry mobs of union thugs and tell the entitled teachers and the runaway legislators to get back to work and do their jobs.

Are you forgetting that the Democrats pushed Obamacare through in an undemocratic fashion? After the bill failed several times? Your morals are where again? Who said Republicans WANT wars? Bush wanted wars. Bush does not equal all Republicans.

Bolded the funniest statement ever. The most undemocratic thing ever took place when the South seceded.

Republicans need to remember their corporate masters aren't the ones who own the ballot box, Union members do.

Over a year of back and forth arguing, conceding points, and endless bitching is undemocratic? Since when?

Since the public still didn't want it passed after the conceding, endless bitching, and back & forth arguing.

The way in which it was passed allowed it to skip voting in the Senate did it not? How exactly is that democratic in the least? If it was a bill that the people wanted it would have passed both the House and Senate, but it did not it was passed in a sneaky manner similar to the way the Republicans passed this bill. Stop pretending the Democrats are holy, their shit does stink.

Your logic... isn't.

The representatives are democratically elected, but that doesn't mean any given bill is going to be voted on democratically, since party politics is obviously going to figure into it.

For example - 60% of Americans favour a public option. If the bill creation/amendment process were truly democratic (apart from it being a horrible confusion, all the time), then politicians would not be voting along partisan lines, or trading favours - they'd be giving majority support to a public option.

But that's not the way it works, and most Americans understand that when they vote. They accept that they democratically elect (fairly democratically, at least) representatives who may or may not act democratically themselves.

Actually when the bill passed the support for it was polled as below 40% according to MSNBC, who tend to have a liberal bias. The fact that it skipped the Senate makes it almost exactly like the incident in Wisconsin, only this time an entire section of the Legislator has no say on if it passed or not. The Democrats had no say on if the bill passed or not, well the same went for the Senate with Obamacare. Which is worse, denying an opposing party a chance to vote on a bill or denying both your own party and the opposing party a chance to vote?

It did? Can you source that? If it's true, I wasn't aware of it and I will be glad to join you in being damn pissed about it. I will not, however, say that something being done despite being publicly unpopular is undemocratic. I would expect legislatures to have more information about the potential effects of their bills than the average citizens, that's why they have huge staffs of aides, and sometimes being a leader means doing what is right instead of what is popular.

I am looking for an UNBIASED source for it, though what happened was the bill passed the Senate and the House voted to "deem" the bill in order to pass an identical bill, however they never voted on the bill itself, only voted to "deem" it. Regardless of if the "deeming" passed or not it still is completely unconstitutional as a bill must be passed in the House first then the Senate, not vice-versa. There are several ongoing legal battles regarding the bill right now, all of them should have the same info in them.

[Revolutopia]

Where are you getting the idea that Healthcare reform bypassed the Senate? Only, thing I have read about it was that it was passed through budget reconciliation, meaning it only need 51 votes and the Republicans could not continue to filibuster the passage. You know the same tactics Republicans used to pass the Bush Tax Cuts back in 2001.
