    It’s unfortunate that this dumbfuck Burris spent more time reading that shitty limerick than his illiterate ass did reading the language contained in this equally shitty healtcare bill. Have no fear though, folks. The adults will retain control in 2010 and in 2012. Just look at the latest rasmussen daily tracking poll numbers for that reality to set in with the unqualified dumbass at the helm for less than a year.

    Transparency my ass. Backroom dealings and unconstitutional bribes. The Democrat party hits a new low in a lifetime of lows.

    The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 25% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-six percent (46%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -21 That’s the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President

    has threatened political foes
    is suspected of being a mossad agent
    is known for vulgarity
    father was a member of a jewish terrorist group
    all in all, one hell of a nice guy

    Things are mighty bad when all you can come up with is something done by Roland Burris
    Why not talk about something worthwhile like this–

    The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 25% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-six percent (46%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -21 That’s the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President

    From +32 all the way down to -21.
    In the same poll, with the same polling methodology.
    A 53 point nosedive.
    Go ahead…continue your spinning and denial.
    America views Obam-mao as dishonest.

    That’s a very, very difficult thing to overcome.
    Backroom politics…when you promise transparency??
    Not good.

    Or how about the Illinois residents pissed off about being proclaimed GITMO II????????

    http://www.foxnews.com/politic.....ee-prison/

    So many things to discuss Darryl….all bad for the Democrats.
    And you choose to promote something by Roland Burris???

    My oh My Darryl…………..
    what a tangled web Obam-Mao weaved when he continuously chooses to deceive!!

  13. 13

    Of course, during the campaign any suggestion on HA that Obama wasn’t quite what he seemed to be was shouted down by the HA faithful, many of whom are now beside themselves for having been suckered. This is less an indictment of Obama and more one of those who so willingly believed mind numbing lines like “change we can believe in.” So much for their judgment.

    @7 Where were the so-called “adults” you refer to during the last 30 years when the ranks of uninsured grew to 50 million, insureds were denied life-saving treatments in the name of higher profits, health premiums soared, and insured families lost their homes and life savings to medical bankruptcy?

    Sitting on your asses doing nothing.

    @13 And voters’ alternative was what? John “Bored-By-Economics” McCain? We’d all be living in cardboard shacks by now if he’d been elected. The voters knew what they were doing when they rejected you asswipes.

    @19 Empty headed little Ricky Dumbass

    Your criticism of Obama rings hollow as usual. You would not support anything he does – including cleaning up the mess that Bush left (and neglected) in Afghanistan.

    the health care bill in the Seante is not that good – because it was written to placate Leiberfool, who is in the pocket of the insurance companies.

    That is what happens when you have obstructionist republicans. Without the public option to hold down costs – or regulation of insurance companies like utilities – there will be no cost control.

    The republicans all voted in favor of the big Pharma to prevent Medicare from negotiating prices….that will put a bigger hole in the budget than almost anything besides the bloated defense spending bill.

    Oh yeah, Obama did promise to end Gitmo (and to restore the constitution) to end torture, to get us out of Iraq and to prevent the Taliban and bin Laden from taking over Afghanistan…all promises on the way to being kept.

    Bush promised that Iraq had WMDs and was a threat, and we all know he lied about that.

  21. 21

    @ 20 ~ Apparently your dumbass doesn’t understand how to comprehend the declining approval numbers of the nitwit in chief. This fool is a lame duck less than 1 year into his OJT. Buyers remorse is something I anticipated, but not this soon. It’s about time people woke up to reality of the massive mismangement the democrat party is capable of.

    Expect big changes in 2010 and 2012 when the adults are again in charge…the Conservatives, not the Republicans.

  22. 22

    @20 there will be no cost control

    That’s not what Obama and Democratic lawmakers are telling us:

    “Every single criteria for reform I put forward is in this bill”

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/.....id=topnews

    Cost control was one of those reforms.

    So he’s lying to us, according to you. And you’re focused on the Republicans as the problem? Too much.

  23. 23

    And Darryl, at least you in academia should know that what Burris was reading there was no limerick. A limerick describing the current congress would be more like this.

    The word congress, if anyone checks
    In the dictionary, also means sex:
    I fuck you, you fuck me.
    But from Congress (cap C),
    A fuck-up is what one expects.

    re 23:

    Bluedog ‘Democrat’ Switches To GOP

    Rep. Parker Griffith (?-AL) announced today he is switching his affiliation from the Democratic Party to the GOP because the latter is more in sync with his values (God, guns, and no health care).

    Griffith is a wealthy doctor who sat out the Vietnam War in medical school and the Army Reserve, so this shouldn’t come as a shock.

  29. 29

    so this shouldn’t come as a shock

    that he was a Dummocrapt for all those years and realized Pelosi’s profligate spending ways are taking America down the tubes?

  31. 31

    @29 You? Complaining about “profligate spending”?

    HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR

    Blackwater mercenaries: $150,000 a year (but too cheap to buy helmets for U.S. Army and USMC combat infantrymen)

    No-bid contracts: Billions of windfall profits for crony contractors who built showers that electrocuted U.S. soldiers

    Tax cuts for uber-wealthy: Hundreds of billions of dollars borrowed from China to pay for private jets and yachts; no jobs created, no trickle-down to the working class

    Abstinence education: $1 billion squandered on useless indoctrination of teenagers to not have sex; teen pregnancies skyrocketed

    Iraq: $1 trillion squandered on fighting a country that didn’t threaten or attack us while bin Laden pranced scot-free in Tora Bora

    These are only a few examples of Republican corruption, waste, fraud, and abuse — and YOU have the brass to accuse Democrats of “profligate spending”? You’d be a laugh riot if you weren’t so fucking pathetic.

  33. 33

    Puddy the Professional Troll is already hard at work at 6:51 AM! Where are you posting from? A GOP boiler room in northern Virginia? It’s 9:51 AM back there. I know Republicans don’t show up for work before 9 AM, so your office must be on the east coast.

  34. 34

    The Democrats have totally disconnected from the responsible American people. They are a party of excess with endless ridiculous earmarks and a Health Care Bill that looks worse every day it is vetted.
    Here is where you stand KLOWNS—

    Wednesday, December 23, 2009

    The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 26% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-four percent (44%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -18.

    Nine percent (9%) of adults rate the economy as good or excellent while 55% say it’s in poor shape. That’s one reason just 16% say they’ll be spending more on holiday gifts this season. Sixty-three percent (63%) say they’ll be spending less.

    Look at the 2nd paragraph and pinch yourself.
    America ain’t buying Obam-Mao and the Democrat reckless massive Deficit Spending…and it ain’t gonna work long-term.

    Doofus AKA Roger Dumb Bunny…

    $1 billion squandered on useless indoctrination of teenagers to not have sex; teen pregnancies skyrocketed

    Yep in Dummocraptic neighborhoods. Puddy already produced the statistics fool. You are so mentally decrepit you forget facts within hours.

    Tax cuts for uber-wealthy

    Golly Dumb Bunny Puddy went to WikiPedia and produced the richest cities in America… controlled by Dummocrapts who voted for Dummocrapts. Puddy produced the richest counties in America… ontrolled by Dummocrapts who voted for Dummocrapts. Puddy produced the list of the richest peeps in Congress. Most are Dummocrapts.

    Where did Bernie Madoff get his Billions from? Dumb Dummocrapts.

    Where did Allen Stanford get his Billions from? Dumb Dummocrapts.

    Billions of windfall profits for crony contractors

    The Shaw Group, Loral, URS and Perini Corp are crony contractors? Try again Dumb Bunny! Puddy already produced the contracts fool. You are so mentally decrepit you forget facts within hours.

    You need to contact your bud ylb arschloch to validate your comments before delivering them. He has all the previous PuddyMissives with these facts. He provides Goldy a free backup server.

  39. 39

    Here is a good reason why Parker Griffith and others will leave the Democrat Party–

    Tuesday, December 22, 2009

    Republican candidates now have an eight-point lead over Democrats, their biggest lead of the year, in the latest edition of the Generic Congressional Ballot.

    The new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 44% would vote for their district’s Republican congressional candidate while 36% would opt for his or her Democratic opponent. Support for GOP candidates held steady over the past week, but support for Democrats slipped by a point.

    Obam-Mao is being crushed by a disorganized Party. Just think if the R’s get their act together and stand consistently for Conservative principles?!!

  41. 41

    Puddy@38–
    It’s just a matter of time before voters accept what these Economists already know….it’s Obam-Mao’s failed economy.
    And 10 years from now when the 30 and under krowd who foolishly voted Obam-Mao in by an over 2-1 margin are struggling with this massive debt Obam-Mao has created…who will they blame??
    The PINHEADS will still blame Bush.
    But the vast majority will have wised up and grown up.
    Obam-Mao is setting the Democrat Party back 20 years.

    @44 You answered your own question. That isn’t bribery, it’s politics. Read the Constitution, jackass.

    Tent City Volunteers Clean Up Neighborhood

    Homeless people living in tent cities are a favorite scapegoat of rightwing numbskulls who can’t function without hate objects. According to them, tent cities are a source of crime, prostitution, and (eek!) menacing to little children.

    “Tent-city residents give back by volunteering in community

    “Volunteers from Tent City 4 in Bellevue meet twice a week to do yard work around the neighborhood near First United Methodist Church. Local resident Richard Harris organized them to help foster goodwill with the community.

    “For the past couple of months, a small, rotating crew of four to six has been raking leaves, cutting ivy and pulling down shrubs in yards in a residential neighborhood north of downtown Bellevue. …

    “The crews are volunteers from Tent City 4 …. Since late October, the camp has been in the parking lot of First United Methodist Church in Bellevue ….

    “Longtime local resident Richard Harris once was opposed to Tent City 4 showing up in his neighborhood. But the more he learned about the camp, the more he felt it was managed well ….

    “Harris … approached the camp management about organizing the volunteer crews. ‘They help people in the community in need,’ Harris said. ‘Everybody benefits.’ The volunteers … do yardwork for neighbors … [amd] clean leaves off the streets. …

    “Resident Richard Mathias is one of the people who initially opposed Tent City 4 but has changed his mind. Mathias … said he was concerned that Tent City 4 residents would lurk in the park behind his home, but he hasn’t seen anything different since the camp arrived. … Mathias said he realized they are just people. … ‘I can’t complain at all now,’ he said. ‘My initial fears were unfounded.'”

    http://seattletimes.nwsource.c.....ty23m.html

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: One thing you won’t see in Bellevue is any Republicans out there helping them. They’re too busy making money.

  48. 48

    Democrats are about to do what Republicans refused to do: Make health insurance available to 30 million uninsured Americans, reign in abusive private insurance company practices, and begin to get a grip on health care costs that are weighing down our economy and bankrupting families and small businesses. And not one Republican will vote for this. History will record that Democrats took action while Republicans fiddled as Rome burned.

    @42 I’m only a dumb bunny, but that’s okay because nobody expects rabbits to be geniuses, but I’m way smarter than you. Even for someone who was hatched from a rock, you’re godawful stupid.

    Also, isn’t it nice of Roger to volunteer his backyard for TENT CITY #5!!

    OBAM-MAO & DEMOCRAT HEALTH CARE ACCOUNTING SCAM EXPOSED TODAY!!

    From the AP–

    In his letter to Sessions, Elmendorf wrote that government counts money two ways, either through trust fund accounting, in which money is borrowed from future Medicare payments to pay for existing Medicare programs but is like a revolving line of credit, or unified budget accounting, in which the trust fund money is borrowed from Medicare but then spent on other health care programs that don’t generate money to be be paid back into Medicare later. “The key point is that the savings to the (Hospital Insurance) trust fund under the (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act) would be received by the government only once, so they cannot be set aside to pay for future Medicare spending and, at the same time, pay for current spending on other parts of the legislation or on other programs,” Elmendorf wrote.

    “To describe the full amount of HI trust fund savings as both improving the government’s ability to pay future Medicare benefits and financing new spending outside of Medicare would essentially double-count a large share of those savings and thus overstate the improvement in the government’s fiscal position,” he wrote.

    Where’s the pea??
    Sessions found it!!
    Using the Head of the CBO to disclose it.
    Brilliant.
    What an accounting shell-game.
    ObamMao has already lost the trust of the American people as clearly evidenced in recent polls.
    He is -18 Strong Approval vs. Strong Disapproval today (He was +32 Post Inauguration).
    The Democrats are at -8 vs. Republicans in the Congressional Polls.

    Sucks to be an Atheist Progressive!
    Merry CHRISTmas!!

  60. 60

    Puddy–
    The Rabbit is probably ticked at the CBO today.
    Sessions asking the key follow-up question and getting an answer in writing is Brilliant!
    Now, the Senators who said they would only vote YES if Budget Neutral are in quite a Quagmire. So are House members who said the same thing.

    The Leftist’s have been quoting the CBO.
    Now what are they gonna do??
    Say the CBO is full of shit??

    TOO DAMN FUNNY!
    Right before the vote.

  62. 62

    Cynical,

    Puddy produced this saying it wasn’t revenue neutral back in October. Remember the nay sayers then?

    October 15, 2009 Revenue Neutral, It Ain’t

    “Therein lies the problem. Ask yourself: Why would you or I pay thousands of dollars for “insurance” if we can just buy insurance coverage to pay for bills when we get sick, and all for the same price as a healthy person?”

  63. 63

    From another site. A statement that “Political Compromises that seem to only extract concessions from the left.”
    Seems that way. What do you think you conservatives among us, can you thing of any concessions you had to give recently?

  64. 64

    Puddy–
    I also love the Democrat/Obam-Mao scam where they say it is neutral….EVEN THOUGH WE PAY FOR 4 FRIGGIN’ YEARS BEFORE WE GET ANY BENEFITS!

    Can you believe that “thinking” Puddy??
    They are klinically insane.
    Can you imagine what the KLOWNS screaming if they were told folks had to pay into Unemployment or Welfare for 4 years BEFORE they get a check?
    How about groceries?
    Pay the grocery store for 4 years before you get a loaf of bread!

    Democrats have overplayed the emotions of Americans. Americans give folks the benefit of the doubt generally…until you prove you are untrustworthy.
    Then they will turn on you…Big-Time as Obam-Mao is finding out.

    The victim, who is Hispanic, suffered severe injuries, and it was possible he may lose sight in one eye. It is not believed, however, that he was the victim of a hate crime. Police said the student who threw the first punch was also Hispanic, and the other students all come from diverse backgrounds.
