Pretty sure you're not poor.

Democrats are in cahoots with Big Pharma? Alone? No Republicans? The party that gave us the no-bargaining-allowed Medicare drug bill? Please. It always make me laugh painfully that 'conservatives' ... so very, very fiscally responsible and concerned for taxpayer money ... can foist off their bullshit with a straight face. Haven't you people told us for decades that the 'market' is God? Yet you reject bargaining for better prices with a market of 50 million consumers. And as far as Big Bad Guvmint 'ruining' health care, tell it to Medicare recipients and the 10 million military people on Tricare. Single payer, that last one. As championed by Joe 'You Lie!' Wilson. Medicare fans should be easy to spot ... they're the ones being laughed at by Glenn Beck and Dick Armey, carrying 'Government Out of My Healthcare' signs at teabag rallies.

The 'baggers went a-Klannin' ... and turned out 100,000? That's not 'impressive,' Alex. That sucks hard and out loud. These loons are gonna be even more pissed when the bill passes and no death panels come to pass. And when Obama crushes whatever goober they nominate in 2012, what then? It is truly depressing that people like this will always be with us, and in the millions, but that's life. As long as they are kept far, far away from power for the next 20 years -- a pretty safe bet -- the rest of us here on Earth can deal with it.

Infected our national life for eight years ... thanks again, Ralph. It's little comfort that 65 percent of the country wouldn't cross the street to spit on his shoes (or maybe they would). But it's better than what we went through in 2002-2003 when the media pumped up this sociopath as Churchill.

Geezus ... this fint is worse than Paglia's spewings. Come on, Joan ... ain't broke, don't fix it?

Geezus.

You've been handing out 'the next few weeks are crucial' since June. Are you related to Tom 'Six Months' Friedman?

I, ________________________, do solemnly swear to uphold the principles of a socialism-free society and heretofore pledge my word that I shall strictly adhere to the following:

If a veteran of the government-run socialist US military, I will forego my VA benefits and insist on paying for my own medical care

I will urge my Member of Congress and Senators to forego their government salary and government-provided healthcare.

I will oppose and condemn the government-funded and therefore socialist military of the United States of America.

I will boycott the products of socialist defense contractors such as GE, Lockheed-Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, Raytheon, Humana, FedEx, General Motors, Honeywell, and hundreds of others that are paid by our socialist government to produce goods for our socialist army.

I will protest socialist security departments such as the Pentagon, FBI, CIA, Department of Homeland Security, TSA, Department of Justice and their socialist employees.

Upon reaching eligible retirement age, I will tear up my socialist Social Security checks.

Upon reaching age 65, I will forego Medicare and pay for my own private health insurance until I die.
