Today should be interesting. Max The Republican Felation Specialist will be announcing his "plan"
He has caved on every issue and he STILL has no repubican support.
What more will he cave on?
Are you thrilled that health care reform has been worked out by a political cbal called The Gang Of Six?
It ought to be the Gang of Sicks.

1. I have had ENOUGH!
We have the WH and both houses of Congress. WTF is going on with this bullshit?
Oh, I dunno. The deal is, Baucus's bill is still too extreme, too pie-in-the-sky, for decent and civilized people to swallow, and so it's likely to be watered down more.
Alas! the poor primitives! alas!

Baucus' bill would tax, fine, charge, fee, and regulate everything that moved, crawled, loitered, breathed, ran, and used oxygen, oil, gas, diesel, food and meat....
May it, and Zero's "Death Care Plan" have a quick and permanent demise....

Jay Rockefeller is on record as against Baucus' plan.
Dem Senator Warns of 'Big, Big Tax' on Middle Class in Baucus Bill
September 16, 2009 7:45 AM
ABC News' Teddy Davis reports:
It's not every day that you hear a Democratic senator charge that a fellow Democrat is proposing to raise taxes on the middle class, but that is what happened on Tuesday when Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., ripped into the health-care bill developed by Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mt., the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee.
The Baucus proposal would impose, starting in 2013, a 35 percent excise tax on insurance companies for "high-cost plans" -- defined as those above $8,000 for individuals and $21,000 for family plans.
Health economists believe a tax on high-priced benefits could help slow the growth of health costs by making consumers more sensitive to prices.
The tax contemplated by Baucus is also a big revenue raiser. It is expected to raise $200 billion, money that Baucus is hoping to use to pay for subsidies for the uninsured.
Given how much money this kind of tax can raise, Rockefeller says he understands why it is "tempting."
The rest is here:

But . . . but . . . Taxes weren't supposed to go up on the middle class! /DUmb****

And, the Baucus bill monkeys around with the EITC, which the DUmmies must adore. All of these dumb bills are just bad legislation. Why must we have retards in Washington?

He misspelled "fellating".
Totally understandable in his case.

The sparkling husband primitive's been misspelling, even misplacing, a lot of words lately.
I think it has something to do with his wife messing around with a chemistry set upstairs.
