What does the above comic mean to you, Alex? Is it that you have a problem with Obama not doing enough to advance minority rights? Or is it posted just to piss off liberals? It doesn't really work, it just shows that you don't even believe half of the shit you post.

Senate Health Bill Would Cut Deficit By $118 Billion Over Decade
The Congressional Budget Office says the $875 billion, 10-year plan would provide coverage to 31 million people who'd otherwise be uninsured. And it says the cost would be more than offset in savings from changes in Medicare and other programs.

It's funny to me that conservatives are so opposed to this health care plan. Most of you probably don't understand the plan you just think you know it would be bad based on what you heard on Fox/ Drudge/ Limbaugh. Socialist takeover of the industry blablabla.
Then you look at who Republicans would nominate to replace Obama in 2012. Seems like Romney is the leading contender.
Here's a more recent poll. Huckabee does a little bit better but according to this 65% of Republicans would happily vote for Romney.
Rush Limbaugh is a fan:
http://www.boston.com/news/natio…
"Rush Limbaugh, the cigar-chomping conservative stalwart, has been on a tear over the last few weeks, talking up Romney and taking whacks at John McCain and Mike Huckabee."
What was Mitt Romney's main accomplishment while Governor of MA - and probably over his whole political career? Enacting a universal health care plan that is virtually the same as what Obama is proposing, and served as a model for what Obama is proposing.
http://www.npr.org/templates/sto…
NPR story from 2006:
"This week, Massachusetts enacted legislation to provide health insurance for virtually every citizen within the next three years. Gov. Mitt Romney says he'll sign it into law. The measure would be the first in the nation to require people to buy health insurance if they don't get it at work.
Under the plan, all but the smallest companies will face financial penalties if they don't cover their workers. The bipartisan plan is already being talked about as a national model.
Gov. Romney, a Republican and a former businessman, bases his support on economics. When Romney became governor three years ago, a business colleague urged him to do something about the 500,000 or more Massachusetts residents without health insurance. Nearly nine out of ten are in working families.
After studying the problem, Romney says, he came away with a key insight: "People who don't have insurance nonetheless receive health care. And it's expensive."
"We're spending a billion dollars giving health care to people who don't have insurance," Romney says. "And my question was: Could we take that billion dollars and help the poor purchase insurance? Let them pay what they can afford. We'll subsidize what they can't."
I mean cmon, this is hilarious irony. You've got Romney, leading Republican contender and about the most solid free market business credentials you can come up with (ran several investment funds, helped start up Staples and a bunch of other companies) basically making the argument for Obama's plan:
"In promoting the plan, Romney brushes off those in his party who attacked the plan as just another big-government scheme. He emphasized that those who can afford insurance should get it.
"Otherwise you're just passing your expenses on to someone else," Romney said. "That's not Republican, that's not Democratic, that's not Libertarian. That's just wrong."
But this is just Romney right? On a state level?
"Ed Haislmaier, of the The Heritage Foundation, a conservative Washington think tank, which helped frame the legislation -- agrees with Romney.
"I don't care what the name of the state is," Haislmaier says. "It just tells anybody in the street there must be something there if you can get that to happen."
After all, Haislmaier says, welfare reform didn't happen on the federal level until Wisconsin did it first."
So what is this, are Republicans voters/ commentators that badly misinformed, or do they know all this and are they just bullshitting you? How can we ever get anything done if people are so transparently insincere?

fuck bank of america forever
i called to participate in their "making home affordable" plan a month ago. they said we had a 108% value to loan ratio and currently they were re-working loans up to 115% so we definitely qualify. a representative would call me back in 2 days to go over the paperwork. 3 weeks later, and 3 of my calls back later they finally call and he says "i'm sorry sir, we are only revising loans up to a 105% loan to value ratio, you do not qualify." WAT!?!
so they i says "ok fuckface, what ramifications legally would i be under if i stopped paying my mortgage and you guys after what, 6 months, 8 months foreclosed on the house and YOU eat the almost 20k we're under... what legally would happen to me?" then he pipes up "oh ok sir well lets see what we can do, let me transfer you to our blah blah blah and help you out."
so i get transferred to another fuckface and we're about 80% through and they are now qualifying me, then he asks what i make and goes "oh i'm sorry sir but you make too much money, you aren't qualified." WAT!?!?!?!
any fucking excuse NOT to refinance and save their customers money they're looking for. rat fucking bastards. i hope their building, with them in it gets hit by a bus.
fuck bank of america.

"To be a real American, you believe in God, and the judiciary unfortunately sometimes can't be trusted to uphold our constitutional rights when you're a disenfranchised minority." -- Michael Newdow, a Sacramento atheist who filed suit, on the messages sent by the ruling.

"The daily schoolroom ritual is not a prayer, but instead "a recognition of our founders' political philosophy that a power greater than the government gives the people their inalienable rights," said the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco in a 2-1 ruling.
"Thus, the pledge is an endorsement of our form of government, not of religion or any particular sect."
It would be funny if some school somewhere changed it to "Under Satan" just to see if that changed the judge's opinion.

Turd Blossom is a Texan term for a flower which grows from a pile of cow dung.[1] The term has gained notoriety in the United States as a sobriquet that was reportedly assigned by former U.S. President George W. Bush as a term of endearment for his former chief political advisor, Karl Rove.
