GARMENTS

Upon a day Beauty and Ugliness met on the shore of a sea. And they said to one another, "Let us bathe in the sea."

Then they disrobed and swam in the waters. And after a while Ugliness came back to shore and garmented himself with the garments of Beauty and walked away.

And Beauty too came out of the sea, and found not her raiment, and she was too shy to be naked, therefore she dressed herself with the raiment of Ugliness. And Beauty walked her way.

And to this very day men and women mistake the one for the other.

Yet some there are who have beheld the face of Beauty, and they know her notwithstanding her garments. And some there be who know the face of Ugliness, and the cloth conceals him not from their eyes.

Instant Karma's gonna get you,
Gonna knock you right on the head,
You better get yourself together,
Pretty soon you're gonna be dead,
What in the world you thinking of,
Laughing in the face of love,
What on earth you tryin' to do,

 No. No mistake. This is definitely you. By the way, are you out of rehab yet?

 
Sure, didn't you hear me say by to you while they had placed you in that nice padded cell. I'm touched that you are soooo concerned for me, don't worry I have GPS in my car and was able to find my way back to the highway.

Oh, my bad. The padding deadened the sound entering your cell so you really didn't hear me, but you should have seen my hand gestures. I'm so glad that they let you on the internet daily.  It might strengthen your mind a little when you read your delusional comic strips.

Just remember not to drink tooooo much of the Kool-Aid, It's a killer. {#Roflol}

Those bastards don't even have to filibuster anymore; all they have to do is say "I filibuster" and the other party goes, "Oh OK"
 

Then the fault of legislation not passed prior to the election of Sen. Brown must rest with Democrats. How often will some dance around their numbers to do so?

Of course, since you seem NOT to understand the procedures of The US Senate, it would only take 60 votes for cloture, thus ending a filibuster. So bright bulb, who had 60 votes *until the election of Sen. Brown*? Bingo! Democrats. How inane for many to point to Republicans for the failures of Democrats to use their majorities in both Chambers of Congress to pass whatever they wish and whenever they wished to do so.

Now, who looks uninformed?

Silly, somewhat ...  Bush stole their thunder and tried to outspend the D's.  He tried to beat them at their own game, that was the strategy.  Consider the Medicare Drug bill and other things that have been tradtionally D strongholds.  But the D's always considered Bush an illigitmate President, who stole an election and steadfastly did everything to undermine him everystep of the way, other than passing legislation that had increased spending.  Ironically, the opposition to his spending bills was that they didn't spend enough.
 

That is laughable.

No,, the opposition was that medicare drug plan was unfunded, but no one wanted to raises taxes to pay for it, instead just added to the deficit along with the wars. dems and repubs both FAILED as far as I am concerned. At least in this plan they are paying for it.

This is the compilation of all the polls I have seen in the past week.  Roughly 45% to 50% oppose the Bill as written and another 20% to 25% favor doing nothing.  That adds up to 70% to 75% opposed.  That is an overwhelming majority of the population.  To ignore that sentiment is governing against the will of the people.

Having said that, it leaves open that 25% favor the Bill and another 50% believe that something needs to be done, but not what we have on the table presently.  That adds up to 75% in favor of some changes in the status quo.  I include myself in the 50% that agrees that we must do something, but not whats on the table now.
 
No one actually knows what is in the Health Care Bill. This has been part of the problem. If the Plan would actually be laid out, it would most likely get more support.
