Awww it's so cute you using words you can't possible fathom (non-sequitur). I enjoy children on GFY trying to sound intelligent..:thumbsup

did you really need 30+ lines of text and some color to repeat what I said in 2 lines?

No idea why you threw christianity into the frey, I can't speak for everyone here but I sure as he do not believe in intergalactic zombies and all powerful wizards

The one thing I have been very impressed by with the republicans is their party unity and consistency of message. These guys are all on the same page every day of the week. I will withhold my personal opinion on their message but you have to admire the tight front they have.

I think the problem they are going to face in 10 and 12 is that they are pandering to the smallest possible base. Everyone is entitled to believe what they will but the more moderate 'big tent party' republicans were a much bigger threat then this new ultra conservative semi violent tea party that the RNC is kissing the ass of. The majority of Americans do not agree with their policies or rhetoric and now their tactics of vandalism and implied threats of violence. The republicans would do very well to distance themselves from these radicals and move more to the middle and quickly

The democrats have their own problems, they are perceived as weak on defense and as spineless as a jellyfish, but they are now being considered by many to be 'republican lite' which is more centrist and appeals to a much larger percent of the population. I do not see them losing their majorities in either house at this point :2 cents:

I am not being belligerent, but so does the KKK, so did the Nazis. I don't think that is necessarily admirable.

Possible fathom? You almost make it too easy. That's what makes you so adorable, the banner of blissful ignorance with which you march triumphantly under. You are correct, I cant possible fathom. I don't know many people who could. However, I could possibly fathom. You think non-sequitur is such a difficult concept that only you could "possible" wrap your mind around it? Oh Demon, stop trying to make me love you. You know I have a weakness for simpletons.

i really think that's great.

no worries I dont take much personally :) I think that the way the current power structure is in the US it is a bit admirable. esp when contrasted with how disjointed the democrats have been over the past year. They couldn't get a majority of their members to agree on what day of the week it is and the republican's unity completely fucked up the heads of the democrats. In essence, their ability to stick together practically put the minority party in a position of determining what got done... unheard of power for a party in the minority. It looks like the democrats may have finally caught on but I am not holding my breath here

Sometimes minority governments can be effective. They have to listen to the people a little more closely. I think that is what the Democrats did in this case. This is a popular bill by all accounts, but it took some tweaking to get it passed.

Oh that's cute... The last resort grammar nazi argument. Haven't I embarrassed you enough already? I mean it was incredibly easy the last time, as you made it a point to make fun of someone's user name.. You can keep lying to yourself because honestly, that will make me laugh even more than you already do anyways. :) Btw, I'm glad you use spell check vigorously before posting, so as to attempt to sound intelligent. :thumbsup

*Waits for Gambrinus to desperately try and point out a grammatical flaw*

"Crowley newborn with heart defect is denied insurance coverage due to pre-existing condition."

No reform needed?

spell check does not correct grammar.

As usual, weekly proves that he lacks the ability to live in reality.

***Waits for the "silent majority" speech***

Actually, it does lol..


Gambrinus is rather amusing. The idiots I usually deal with on this forum don't go through great lengths to try and make people think they're intelligent, but this kid does it without effort. Definitely amusing :) :)

I understand that in North Carolina grammar and spelling doesn't mean a lot, but to those of use who did graduate high school it does.

Oh Demon you silly goose, there were no spelling errors. You were a good boy, you spelled "possible" perfectly. Gold star for you.

Oh Demon, what does it say about you when you think "great lengths" means using proper English?

Oh poor Gambrinus, completely unable to read where I said "grammar". Here, let me highlight it for you so you understand:)

Here you go princess, I bolded it for you so you'd internalize it. Now I notice you said I'm from North Carolina. I don't know where you got that idea, but I'll ignore this point as you make it seem that your meds are kicking in..

And finally, I'm glad you graduated high school. The problem is, it doesn't appear you went any further. :)

C'mon, like I don't know who you are. That you aren't from Shelby. Please. You have no idea who you are playing with. I am going to enjoy this more than you know.

Wow, this must be embarrassing for you(aside from you trying to act intelligent and failing.) But you can continue embarrassing yourself pretending you know who I am. :)

davidd, I think the part where people have been choosing to not buy insurance and thus not pay for others care is really where it comes down, whether we like it or not. Those who pay for insurance and need to get benefits from it are being gouged and dropped because they are sometimes loss leaders. And thats because the poor and homeless and people without insurance who have an emergency still have to be paid for somehow. Those who can and DO pay out of pocket afterwards are not the issue. The only people the insurance companies have to get money from or cut losses from.. are their dwindling paying clients. So of course, they do. I think it reached the point where enough people saw it was unsustainable.


Oh and I know there are provisions in the law that dont take effect immediately. Some take effect later, and some even later. I was replying to the post which said "it'll never see the light of day" which it already has of course.
