Drinking Liberally — Seattle

by — ,

DLBottle

The U.S. has shaken its last vestige of being a lesser-developed nation and has joined the civilized world. This calls for a toast…a toast to our health. So join us tonight for a celebratory evening of politics under the influence at the Seattle chapter of Drinking Liberally. We meet at the Montlake Ale House, 2307 24th Avenue E. beginning at about 8:00 pm. Stop by even earlier and enjoy some dinner.

It is fucking BIG!



Not in Seattle? There is a good chance you live near one of the 343 other chapters of Drinking Liberally.

    Thank God we have a President who can speak English and sounds intelligent after the last one!

    Re 2

    Since he’s selling us to the Chinese in debt to pay for these idiotic programs I wouldn’t get too used to English as a government language…

    Rabbit, hope your condition improves.

    @5
    And England and Germany and Canada and France and New Zealand and Japan and the entire rest of the 1st world.

    Since he’s selling us to the Chinese in debt to pay for these idiotic programs

    That was the last idiot you voted for twice who charged two wars and a new entitlement program on the credit card..

    To keep the country out of depression from right wing misrule, we’ve been running the printing presses.

    Some idiots say that will result in inflation but they forget that inflation is too much money chasing too few goods.. And where has the money gone?

    Not to people who will spend it to bid up the prices of commodities and wages..

    Interesting view from world socialist movement

    Interesting fecklessness from a defeated right wing tool.

    @3 Thankew for your sympathy, I have a viral infection that’s resisting antibiotics, but my veterinarian thinks I’ll live.

    On the other, I don’t recall seeing you post complaints about Bush borrowing a trillion dollars from China to give tax cuts to billionaires — you seem to have a double standard.

    This entire health care bill will cost less than Bush’s recreational war in Iraq, but never mind, health care for hardworking Americans isn’t nearly as important as killing Iraqi men, women, and children (100,000 so far and counting).

    McCain Promises Contract On America

    That’s right, Pukes are so pissed, they’re gonna put out a contract on all of us:

    “Democrats shouldn’t expect much cooperation from Republicans the rest of this year, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) warned Monday. … ‘There will be no cooperation for the rest of the year,’ McCain said ….”

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: Waytago, John, you just reminded us why we’re glad Obama is president and you’re not.

    Virtually all the punditry says the GOP lawsuit is going nowhere and is nothing but posturing. See, e.g.:

    “The White House says it isn’t worried … and many legal experts agree the effort is futile. … Robert Sedler, a constitutional law professor at Wayne State University in Detroit, said[,] ‘This is pure, pure political posturing ….’ Bruce Jacob, a constitutional law professor at Stetson University in Florida, said the suit seems like a political ploy and is unlikely to succeed. ‘The federal government certainly can compel people to pay taxes, can compel people to join the Army,’ he said.”

    Ha, ha, fucking, ha!

    http://www.miamiherald.com/201.....suing.html

    The lawsuit calls this an “unprecedented encroachment on the liberty of individuals.” It states the Constitution doesn’t authorize such a mandate, the proposed tax penalty is unlawful and is an “unprecedented encroachment on the sovereignty of the states.”

    “The truth is this is a Republican idea,” said Linda Quick, president of the South Florida Hospital and Healthcare Association. She said she first heard the concept of the “individual mandate” in a Miami speech in the early 1990s by Sen. John McCain, a conservative Republican from Arizona, to counter the “Hillarycare” the Clintons were proposing.

    McCain did not embrace the concept during his 2008 election campaign, but other leading Republicans did, including Tommy Thompson, secretary of Health and Human Services under President George W. Bush.

  17. 17

    Among the other Republicans who had embraced the idea was Mitt Romney, who as governor of Massachusetts crafted a huge reform by requiring almost all citizens to have coverage.
    “Some of my libertarian friends balk at what looks like an individual mandate,” Romney wrote in The Wall Street Journal in 2006. “But remember, someone has to pay for the health care that must, by law, be provided: Either the individual pays or the taxpayers pay. A free ride on government is not libertarian.”
    Romney was referring to the federal law that requires everyone to be treated in emergency rooms, regardless of their ability to pay.

    Ah, but that’s just Mitt. He’s a principled guy who, when he changes principles, is still principled. You know, principles just float around there, and you get to grab them when they are convenient to grab.

    Rabbit,

    I’ve repeatedly said that Bush made many fiscal mistakes. The costly, stupid and Orwellian named ‘War on Terror,’ Iraq war and Bank Bailouts to name a few.

    The pundits can talk. The courts will decide. I’m no attorney, but the spirit of the Constitution matters. It seems to me that men who fought over minimal taxation and intrusion into their lives and took on the worlds largest power in doing so would look askance at this massive intrusion, though.

    Hope the vet takes good care of you.

    I love Joe Biden. Dropping the F-bomb when he did seems incredibly appropriate. It would have been more appropriate had microphones not been there, but, whatever.

  21. 21

    In other news a couple more cops have been shot, this time we have officers from the bronx, baltimore and las vegas wounded in shootings.

  22. 22

    If Obam-Mao doesn’t get this poll number into low negative single-digits after passing & signing Obam-MaoCare…he has failed to connect.
    Not only is it not low single-digits….it’s not even single-digits!

    Wednesday, March 24, 2010

    The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 31% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-two percent (42%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -11

    Obam-Mao’s “slight disappointing Bounce” is only from Democrats. Unaffiliateds remain highly negative.

    Spin this anyway you want.
    Rely on the inaccurate Gallup which was taken immediately after when naturally you get a bounce.
    The more questions about Constitutionality abd the details about the Bill itself, the worse it gets.

    Hey Democrats in the Senate are gonna have to vote YES on giving Erectile Dysfunction Drugs to SEX OFFENDERS!….to avoid this going back to the House.
    TOO
    DAMN
    FUNNY!

  23. 23

    My my look at all the “bribes deals” made by House DUMMOCRAPTS to get the bill to pass!

    And this is above the Louisiana Purchase, the Nebraska Cornhusker Kickback, Massachusetts Money, Connecticut Hospital Surprise… etc. etc. etc. Does “reconciliation” remove these Senate Deals? Doubt it!

  24. 24

    Notice if a conservative places a duplicate thread entry like Michael did @16@17 it would be erased by the thread police.

    Typical, so typical!

  25. 25

    “This amendment would enact recommendations from the Government Accountability Office to stop fraudulent payments for prescription drugs prescribed by dead providers or, to dead patients. This amendment also prohibits coverage of Viagra and other ED medications to convicted child molesters, rapists, and sex offenders, and prohibits coverage of abortion drugs.”

    Senator Tom Coburn

    Of course DUMMOCRAPTS love sex offenders. John Wayne Gacy was a bud of the Carters. Wait for it.. Pavlov’s Doggies ylb arschloch and Steve will appear on cue!

    If You Like the Health Plan You Have, You Can Keep It. President Obama promised that Americans who like their health care plan would be able to keep it. However, the Congressional Budget Office has said that millions of people will lose their current coverage under The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Unfortunately, for many Americans, the reconciliation bill is even worse news, as it made changes to some grandfathering provisions. The changes to grandfathering provisions would mean that individuals with guaranteed renewable plans in the individual market will NOT be able to keep their current coverage at the current price, but would immediately be issued a new policy and charged more. This amendment strikes changes to grandfathered plans, so Americans who like the health care they have actually can keep it. Click here to view amendment.

    What will libtardos do now?

    8. Exempt Class I Medical Devices from New Taxation. Taxing latex gloves and band-aids is not health reform and only increases the cost of health care for patients. This amendment would exempt all Class I medical devices – such as band-aids, wheelchairs, hospital beds, and surgical gowns – from new federal taxation. Click here to view amendment.

    Well you know libtardo DUMMOCRAPTS have other uses for them…

    Hey Proud Leftist…

    “”It’s just going to be like Christmas,” said DeCarlo Flythe, who lost health coverage for his family when he was laid off almost three years ago. “It’s going to be great. You know, no worries (about) the bills. We are going to go ahead and pay our co-pay and be alright.””

    When will someone tell DeCarlo this ain’t happening until 2014? Why not now Proud Leftist? Why are DUMMOCRAPTS making DeCarlo wait?

  29. 29

    Hey THE DUMB BUNNY… is this one of those insurance companies in your “portfolio”? Ask the arschloch for the original link.

    @22 “Spin this anyway you want.”

    Spin? Project much? I hear it’s a Psych 101 thing. I’d say that your attempt to spin as a negative the president’s 11 point overnight improvement in the Rasmussen Wingnut Daily Tracking poll following passage of HCR only goes to show what a silly, reality avoiding loon you have become.

  32. 32

    “Hey Democrats in the Senate are gonna have to vote YES on giving Erectile Dysfunction Drugs to SEX OFFENDERS!….”

    A giveaway to sex offenders? Isn’t that the same as a giveaway to Republicans? Hey, I’d say that it’s big of Dems to throw the ungrateful wingnut moral degenerates a bone.

  34. 34

    Steve…

    CNN/Opinion Research 03/19 – 03/21 953 RV 46 51 -5

    Didn’t MikeDumbSkunk call that an “outlier”? Seems in line to Puddy!

  35. 35

    What are you smoking, Puddy? The Rasmussen tracking poll was in the twenties, now it’s at eleven. The move up followed passage of HCR – a move the KLOWN tries to spin as a negative. A ten point move up in the Rasmussen poll is a negative? Only in the reality-challenged Klynical KLOWN’s mind.

  36. 36

    The last tracking poll before passage was -16. The day after passage it was -12. You can do better than that Steve.

  37. 37

    “…men who fought over minimal taxation and intrusion into their lives…”

    Actually, our revolutionary fore-fathers fought for the right to have their OWN elected representatives make laws which govern them, rather than a parliment across the ocean in which they aren’t allowed any representation.

    In contrast, the current Republican efforts are to convince a court to NULLIFY the leglislation adopted by a convincing majority of Congress, consisting of representatives lawfully elected by Americans of every color, income class, and religion (with residents of Washington D.C. being the notable exception).

    In contrast, the current Republican efforts are to convince a court to NULLIFY the leglislation adopted by a convincing majority of Congress,

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    Bribes, kickbacks, special deals TO GET A SMALL MAJORITY. Yes rhp6033, you brought a smile to Puddy this morning.

  39. 39

    Geez, Puddy, does the trend escape you? The KLOWN can spin it all he wants, the trend is clear and the direct association with HCR is real. Of course, Rasmussen is the only poll that counts, the rest being just so much progressive horseshit, right?

    GO RICHARD! POPE! POPE! POPE! POPE! POPE! POPE! POPE! POPE! POPE! POPE! POPE! POPE! POPE! POPE!

    That’s one hot boy-crush YLB’s grooving on. Wonder if he and The Pope have consummated … consecrated … whatever.

    32. Steve spews:

    “Hey Democrats in the Senate are gonna have to vote YES on giving Erectile Dysfunction Drugs to SEX OFFENDERS!….”

    A giveaway to sex offenders? Isn’t that the same as a giveaway to Republicans? Hey, I’d say that it’s big of Dems to throw the ungrateful wingnut moral degenerates a bone.

    Ummm Steve…the Republicans are voting NO on this. The Democrats are voting YES.
    Kind of humiliating.
    Is that all the better you can do Steve??

  42. 42

    “Ummm Steve…the Republicans are voting NO on this.”

    Of course. It would appear too self-serving for them to vote yes. By the way, just how big a jar of Viagra did Limbaugh take with him on his “I’m-gonna-get-it-on-with-child-prostitutes” vacation to the Dominican Republic?

    When wingnuts speak of morals it just goes to show that you freaks know no shame.

  45. 45

    Wow,

    One HNMM@44 attacking a conservative. Who would guess this behavior from an arswchloch?

    What’s that term again?

    Oh yeah… Pfffffft!
