i've really had it with teh stoopid and teh crazeee (irl).

I can handle having disagreements with people about aspects of HCR, why they might not be in favor of the legislation that is likely to pass because of specific items.
But those that throw right-wing one-liners at me, those that can't rub two thoughts together to make a semi-intelligent point, are really, really, really starting to make me nauseaus. The content of the Clyburn to teabaggers article from HuffPo, the *Browning* teabagger sign... God, what is wrong with people?

I know, none of this is a news flash for anyone, but it can get so disheartening, and I've just had one of those days.

Pass the damn bill already so we can move on to something else!
Make more tangible differences for people.
Win the damn elections in 2010 and 2012.
Keep the bastards from control forever (or at least for a good long time).
Then, might we convert some of the people into thinking again?

So lemme get this straight those who read the bill and oppose it are the non thinkers those who support it blindly are the great thinkers.

8. Folks aren't stupid. I think they're scared. Fear's become a political process to bypass discussion,
   
Or at least sidetrack discussion. It's probably always been so to some extent, yet the shouting matches that fill in for political discourse in our media today seem to have given fear top billing. Or at least a second slot after celebrity infidelity news.

You have a point fear has propelled the hoax of global warming I mean climate change pretty well.

28. do you know how many people don't want Obama to cram something
   
down their throats? do you? I've heard that expression soooo many times.

When I hear that, I don't know if I should laugh, cry, or RUN!!!

Hey moron we know the bill is bad every poll shows a majority of people do not want this. Obama and his thugs are cramming this down our throats.

Look DUmmies no matter how many times you post threads saying how smart you are and how stupid we are does not make it true. You goons are too stupid to see the damage this bill will do to our country you should be grateful that there are thinking people out here trying to stop this. When you see the effects of this bill you will be the ones whining the loudest.

Public schools, Hollywierd, drugs and socialism.... in THAT order.

Only DUmmies who inhabit the DUmp (the entire group of which has the collective IQ of my shoe size) think that those who have fallen for the hopey-changey thing from a Jim Jones wannabe named Barry Soetero are the "smart" ones. 

How do these idiots make it through life?  Oh, I know.  They gather at the DUmp and commiserate about the wicked rich people.  I wonder what flavor of Kool-Aid they will be drinking today. 

Now remember, DUmmies:  At the end of Obama's term, when he offers you that one way trip to Guyana with him on a private jet, be sure to take him up on it.  The world will be a much better place.  And don't forget the sugar - it makes the Kool-Aid taste much better.

I didn't know they made size 0.5 shoes and you must have small feet.

Most of the DUmmies are very good at leeching off society.
