Idiots on parade
Watching C-span coverage of the Big Health Care Debate in the Lower Nuthouse. All the fagass Repooflicans are rising in sequence to squeal and whine about the lack of fairness in committee or some such shit. Sorry boys, you had your chance. You had full control of all branches from 2002 through 2006 and you didn't do ANYTHING about the problem. You didn't enact tort reform, you didn't revise patent laws, you didn't encourage electronic medical records, you didn't remove the anti-trust exemption for insurance companies ... in short, you didn't take a single one of the supposedly Republican-type steps to improve the situation. That's why you lost in '06 and '08.
You are therefore not entitled to complain when the other party takes some supposedly Democratic-type steps to improve the situation.
Neither side is willing to switch to a complete single-payer system, which is the only way to fix the problem.
So it doesn't really matter, but at least the brand-D side is attempting to follow the will of its constituents. ¶ 8:59 AM
