How low can you go.
So when I heard there would not even be an attempt at single payer I bitched. I was told I was a whiner who didn't get his pony, so I lowered my expectations.
When I heard there would be a fine if I couldn't afford the mandatory insurance policy that was going to be forced on me I bitched. I was told I was a whiner who didn't get my pony, so I lowered my expectations.
When I heard that the "robust" public option would be reduced to "some sort of public option" I bitched. I was told I was a whiner who didn't get his pony, so I lowered my expectations.
When I heard that the public option was going to be replaced with lowering the medicare eligibility age to 55 I bitched. I was told I was a whiner who didn't get his pony, so I lowered my expectations.
Today when I heard that the insurance companies are celebrating their VICTORY on the health insurance bill, I'm writing this thread. I'm not going to bitch, that would be pointless, because I know there are a ton of people here who will be happy to lower their expectations once again and cheer this gift to the insurance industry.
Frankly I'm done lowering my ****ing expectations. If I lowered them another inch I'd be a ****ing Republican.

2. Time to find a veterinarian who'll treat both you and your pony.
Stupid DUmmie. He didn't get his pony, that's the problem.

Sometimes it's difficult to see the difference between a Dem and a Puke, the line between them is so fine.
We have the White House. We have both houses of Congress. The overwhelming support of the American people. And still...they can't pass health care reform with a strong public option.
Pathetic, if you ask me. And they're going to pass some piece of crap, make us all pony up several hundred dollars a month for it, and tell us what a great job they did for us. They'll have bruises on their backs from patting each other so much.
Makes me sick.
No overwhelming support form the people, not yours. The Demonrats know this, and want to keep their jobs.

7. Just shut the **** up, get back in line.
take those tea-bagging opinions off this board. There are rules here. Clearly you must bow and obey, or you are not to be posting here. Now either tow the line, or go **** your pony.
Pretty sure this DUmmie meant this sarcastically.

8. At least people are recommending your thread
I posted a link to Firedoglake's petition with the provocative title 'Obama Fail' and I'm getting raked over the coals. I'm STILL being told that we don't know what the bill is, so worrying about it is 'chicken little'
the heart of the post:
What does this deal do? It forces Americans to buy the products of large corporations, then the IRS penalizes them if they refuse.
This is sucking so much, it's unbelievable.
Yet you DUmmies are still pushing for congress to pass this crap. That is the perfect definition of being :censored: STUPID.

12. We could have single payer, public works, and rebuilt infrastructure
if they'd just put the world's dry powder supply they've managed to corner onto the market. Really, what good is a monopoly if you don't use it?
WTF?

The Vietcong primitive might be referring to the CIA's monopoly of coke. You know, the stuff they've smuggled into the cities to keep the sheep down?

tow the line
You know, little things like this give a lot of insight into how stunted the DUmmy thought process is. Every time a DUmmy makes this mistake, and they make it every single time - I don't think I've ever seen a DUmmy write "toe the line" - it tells us the DUmmy is so poorly read, so illiterate, that he uses figures of speech about which he has no understanding whatever. But if DUmmies were not stupid, they would not be fun to watch. They would just be run-of-the-mill "loosers".

Yeah, two of my pet peeves about the primitives and spelling are "rein" and "reign," and "straitjacket" and "straightjacket."
The primitives don't know excresence about how to use words.
-
There's little to no difference between the public option and what is in the bill now... other than semantics.

How low can you go.
........ so I lowered my expectations.........so I lowered my expectations..... so I lowered my expectations... so I lowered my expectations.......
When your whole political philosophy has no core beliefs, you can go really low. Don't get too concerned about it, walldude primitive. Rule #1 in being a liberal is having no spine. It's who and what you are. Embrace it. Celebrate it. As long as you remain a liberal, "how low can you go" is always an unanswerable question.

That is so true; sometimes I get more tired of reading the spelling and grammar mistakes than I do the philosophical/political irrationality.

I believe they do - then they would have someone to blame that won't land them granite. Nothing unites the primitives like a common foe.

I ran into a thread yesterday on some other site, about the Gore vs. Palin AGW stuff. Someone commented thusly:
SARAH PALIN IS STUPIDER THAN A PRE-SCHOLLER!!!!
She did get called on it.

I bitched
I lowered my expectations.
This is the same shit we hear all the time from the libtards. I swear, they are like abused spouses: They know they're getting lied to yet they still take it and lower their expectations to justify their continued support of their abuser.
And, quite frankly, if this DUmbass lowered his expectations "another inch", he wouldn't be anything but what he is now: A gutless, brainless, lazy, whiny, immature DUmbass.

Take a few minutes and actually think for a change, DUmbass. If there was "overwhelming support of the American People", it would have sailed through Congress months ago. There isn't, therefore it didn't.
Do the math, stupid.
Pathetic, if you ask me. And they're going to pass some piece of crap, make us all pony up several hundred dollars a month for it, and tell us what a great job they did for us.
Well, isn't that what you wanted? Put your healthcare options in the hands of a bunch of corrupt lawyers? You're going to get it, numbnuts, and you're going to suffer. It'll be hope and change you can't believe you fell for.
Be careful what you wish for, DUmbass.....

Awwww, didn't come out like you thought it would? Did you get used? Put some ice on it, DUmbass, and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Your "heroes" ****ed you again, you dipshits, and you'll still come crawling back to them at election time. Just like you have done before and just like you'll do again.
Suck on it, DUmmies.

Textbook definition of "insanity"....
Doing the same thing, over and over again, expecting a different result....
All government run health care will be is a bunch of lawyers tell doctors how they should practice medicine....
We can already see how well a bunch of lawyers do telling corporations how to run their businesses....

As a side note, I'd love to see this poll where an "overwhelming number of Americans" support this health care nightmare.

Me too, because I've seen more than showing a majority oppose it, and a one which showed the internals proved that its main opposition is NOT from the left. One poll showed that people oppose the government expansion aspect.
