US POLITICS: Congratulation to USA for their upcoming health

godspeed

mention ILX

actually, don't

how can you still be undecided?

Teenager innit.

let's have a moment of the silence for the grandmas being unplugged tonight all across america.

because you want to know why now?

Taibbi:

I hate this bill and have since the beginning — to me it seems like a radical and dangerous step to start forcing people to become customers of a seriously overpriced, inefficient product, thereby removing the last incentive for an already antitrust-exempted, horrifically-performing industry to improve itself in any way.

But I’m beginning to come around to the idea that if we do pass this thing, sooner or later Congress is going to get around to complaining about subsidizing the profits of WellPoint and Aetna and all the rest of them. Naturally the first place they’ll cut in future budget crises is the “affordability credits” for low-income earners, but there’s a slim chance they’ll get around to chiseling the fat from the insurance companies, too, which might in turn lead ultimately to a sane revamping of this ridiculous system.

Or maybe not. I’m trying to find a way to feel good about this thing. Is there a way this thing doesn’t suck?

nitwit teenager.

"i will not vote for a Democrat again."

why do i think that people saying that would never voted for a Democrat long before today's vote? and why do wingnuts think that people are dumb enough to fall for this ... actually, forget that last part.

i can't get in u_u

too many nitwit teenagers calling-in

Someone should point out to Taibbi that the new health care laws cover being doused with coffee by angry dudes.

too much amateur philosophizing. a lot of it from teenagers.

According to my info screen, this stuff I'm watching on MSNBC right now is called "The Stripper and the Steelworker." I guess that refers to Boehner and Pelosi?

this will make Michael Moore happy.

there was an incident with bart stupak

LUKE RUSSERT IS ON THE STORY

did he say "well, dude, i was on the floor" -- that's what i want to hear at least

someone yelled "baby killer" at bart stupak and his hair

and plenty of my right-wing FB friends are sorely tempting my "defriend" button right about now.

heckler has not been identified

YOUR TWEENS ON SKREEEEEET

re: taibbi - well, one perspective on it from one of the few progressive blogosphere people who know what they're talking about as far as the process goes.. this piece of legislation is passing parts of health care reform that are toughest to get through, the mandate, regulation, subsidies. this is the hard part. but after this it should not be so hard (in theory) to pass other bills for the public option or opening medicare to more people, because the issue at hand will be about saving money, there won't be all this other stuff to deal with now that reform's been passed.

no disrespect but taibbi's not an expert here

YOUR TWEETS ON SPEED

WHITE PUNKS ON TWEET

taibbi seems off-base to me, here, and i love his writing/analysis.

mainly I'm trying to sponsor an amendment to get the word "tweet" the f. outta the thread title

so, when do i get all of yr checks? or will the government just show up @ my door with big piles of other ppl's health-money?

I'm hoping I get pizza.

J0hn, you have my vote.

GOP GONE WILD: YOUR TITS ONSCREEN

i think it's time to turn off msnbc when i start finding myself getting attracted to ezra klein

Welcome to Repeal It!: the pledge to rescue America from Twitter-referencing thread titles. We know it’s not enough just to fight this thread title – it could still pass. So our pledge is to Repeal It!

tbh, defriending quite a few on FB right now.

you're the only one.

haha NOT the only one, rather

I've been watching CNN's live coverage, NO commmentators.

matthew yglesias:

Now that it’s done, Barack Obama will go down in history as one of America’s finest presidents. It’s always possible of course that, like LBJ, he’ll get involved in some unrelated fiasco that mars his reputation. But fundamentally, he’s reshaped the policy landscape in a way that no progressive politician has done in decades.

Under the circumstances, it’s in some ways crazy to realize the scope of things still on the congress’ plate. The House has already passed major legislation dealing with climate change and financial regulation, and the president is also committed to significant reform of K-12 education and the immigration system.

on the baby killer thing, from tpm;

After speaking with reporters he went back into the House chamber and then returned a few moments later and said: "Other people agree with me it was someone with a southern accent." Campbell also said that some of the Republicans on the floor recognized the voice but would not say who it was.

Eh, let's not suck each other's dicks yet.

quit standing between the ppl & their beejes Alfred

Now that it’s done, Barack Obama will go down in history as one of America’s finest presidents.

also, may I be the first to say "lol"
