@AmericanFighter

You must understand that there is NO HEALTH CARE BILL YET! There are 5 bill circulating around the halls of congress. One point you must understand is that they are trying to get the Finance Committee Bill out of the Senate so the bills can be discussed and negotiated during Conference Committee. Conference Committee is when both houses meet to reconcile a bill. A bill must be agreed on by both houses and passed with the exact same language through both houses. Until that process is completed there is NO BILL. If you want to learn something you head yourself back to youtube, seemingly your favorite spot, and type in how a bill becomes a law, by school house rock.

After doing this wait... wait to see what happens.

But I will tell you something, we are getting a bill with a strong regulatory arm and a public option. And you all will just have to get over it.

Oh and let me add this, Faux News is an arm of the republican party and they are pushing the republican agenda of NO. Everyone knows this, everyone.

Freedom of Speech, just what does it entail. First we must answer the question of what the amendments to the constitution actually mean: Amendment 1 Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances US Constitution.

Pop Quiz: Which law has the administration instituted that squelches Faux News Lie Factory, ummmmm, okay time is up. I will be awaiting your answer. I wonder if you will find that talking point somewhere? Good luck trying.

Ahh, I never copy and past my arguments from anyone else's work, although I do occasionally quote Shakespeare, but never without attribution. Cutting and pasting without a citation of where your copy and pasted words are is Plagiarism, with a capital P. You admit it and wear as a badge of honor. It is the blatant intellectually lazy who copy and paste talking points. In order to keep up here we require original thoughts from the poster, otherwise you must cite your source, because this is what is required of those who do not wish to be called Plagiarists. I just cannot take seriously those who pass information as their own but have copied and pasted it from some website with an agenda.

Original article: McCain sticks up for Palin

Has ReaderReader

Shown up to profess his unrequited love for Sarah Palin yet, to inform us one more time that she is like Queen Elizabeth, Queen Victoria, and Freddie Mercury all at once, as well as being the smartest, bestest republican girl every, and did you know she has five kids.....

Hahahah, just figuring it will happen, if it hasn't already.

You just admitted you cut and paste talking points! OMG! That is hilarious. In the literary and academic worlds we call that PLAGERISM, since you did not cite your source. Please correct your original posting to reflect the source so you will not be sued for copyright infringement.

Might I remind you copy and paste anger is funny to normal people.

Are you denying your anger? Your 27 copy and paste points, supplied to you directly from the Dick Armey America's whatever it was, is not impressive either. People who copiously copy and paste talking points from others are neither smart nor creative, they are neither movers or shakers, they are merely pawns or minions in the army of Mordor. You should take your propaganda back to places where you can sing the praises of Dick Cheney and cry about having lost the last election. You lost the last election, don't you eventually have to get over it. You all lost, you can't change that fact, nothing you say or do, no amount of your crazy copy and pasted propaganda is going to change that fact, you all lost. Now deal with it, take some seconal or something, but geez get over it already. That kind of anger will in the long run be very bad for your health.

So you are welcome.

Sighting or citing.. you decide, I will correct..

citing is the term you are looking for:

Sighting: N:the power or faculty of seeing; perception of objects by use of the eyes; vision.

Verb: to see, glimpse, notice, or observe: to sight a ship to the north.

Citing: verb: to quote (a passage, book, author, etc.), esp. as an authority: He cited the Constitution in his defense.

Just one more point

Without a strong regulatory arm coupled with a publicly owned insurance option will insurers continue to deny healthy babies who they deem "fat"? It is great example of a Theater of the Absurd. With our current ability to communicate in real time means these companies can no longer get away with hiding these egregious offenses against human beings, even babies!
