Displaying 15,451 To 15,480 Of 16,275 Comments The New Face of the Senate Health Care Bill J’avaz there you go again—thinking. 😆 » Posted By bito On December 8, 2009 @ 5:28 pm Interesting j’avaz, HCAN is Obama’s group. For them to come out with this now is something that makes me wonder. Are Obama’s true believers breaking ranks or did they get new marching orders? » Posted By bito On December 8, 2009 @ 4:43 pm O/T Got a letter from Rep. Barney Frank today (yes, they were asking for money)and he had a cope of good lines: “They have forgotten nothing because they learned nothing.” » Posted By bito On December 8, 2009 @ 2:56 pm Nelson/Supak. Motion to table is passed 54-45! » Posted By bito On December 8, 2009 @ 2:36 pm VOTE! » Posted By bito On December 8, 2009 @ 2:10 pm The Nelson/Stupak amend. is going to face a motion to table not a full vote. » Posted By bito On December 8, 2009 @ 2:07 pm AdLib, Thanks for the reminder. Must be nice to have a memory. 😮 » Posted By bito On December 8, 2009 @ 2:03 pm The U.S. Gov. got off cheap. I had heard that they were asking for much more $$ than that years ago. I would like too read more on the settlement but after so many years it is nice to see that they have come to some agreement. » Posted By bito On December 8, 2009 @ 1:37 pm The vote on the Stupak/Nelson amendt. is scheduled to held latter to day. Sen. Boxer claims it won’t get passed. Why don’t the Bishops have to report their expenses for woking on a political issue. If it is not a political issue, what happened to the separation of church/state. Watching this debate really pisses me off! A bunch of old, white MALES, deciding for women! » Posted By bito On December 8, 2009 @ 1:01 pm j’avaz, That was part of Dr. Deans plan from many months/years ago. That and young people after losing their parents coverage could buy in to Medicare up to age 28. He again offered it to the Senate at the beginning of the writing of the HC Bill. I was dissapointed that Obama didn’t take in as a W.H adviser on HC, or appoint him Sec. of HHS. I like his thoughts. » Posted By bito On December 8, 2009 @ 12:49 pm nellie, want o move to D.C.? » Posted By bito On December 7, 2009 @ 8:15 pm nellie, That topic is difficult to make it compelling for me to write. I know you will do a good job! » Posted By bito On December 7, 2009 @ 8:05 pm This bill is still too fluid for me to have any strong opinion on it yet. There are rumors of different deals everyday. The only thing I am sure of is that the Rethugs are a’gin it. Camp. Finance Reform and cooperate personhood. » Posted By bito On December 7, 2009 @ 7:27 pm Agreed KQ, I think one reason so many people are dismayed at the sausage making is that more are aware of it. There are so many options available for people to learn of how a bill is passed and this bill has been so heavily covered. I would be hard pressed to name a bill that has had this much coverage. » Posted By bito On December 7, 2009 @ 7:21 pm Let’s talk NFL and health care nellie, I heard Sen. Wyden say that last night. There are some strong progressives in what they are calling the “gang of 10.” no, it’s not asking too much, but what will pass? » Posted By bito On December 8, 2009 @ 1:46 pm No need to add color to it. They are all of one color anyway. » Posted By bito On December 7, 2009 @ 7:31 pm My understanding is that the NFL (owners) won’t allow that to happen any longer. The reason the pack is that way is their franchise was one of the charter teams. » Posted By bito On December 7, 2009 @ 6:04 pm We pay taxes right now for medicare/medicare why do we need a middle man to pay,or not, the bills and make a large profit. What the hell is so wrong with single payer-Medicare for all. I would have been happy to pay a bit more if everyone was covered! » Posted By bito On December 7, 2009 @ 5:52 pm Good morning Kalima, Running? What is that? 🙂 » Posted By bito On December 7, 2009 @ 5:31 pm Why am I paying for the new stadium n AZ with it’s dome and portable grass field? I have no way to get there, pay for parking let alone for a ticket to a game! » Posted By bito On December 7, 2009 @ 5:19 pm K7, NPR did a review of it the other day see if it matches your thoughts. » Posted By bito On December 7, 2009 @ 7:52 pm On the PBS program, POV, they sometimes have shows of Indians, made by Indians. There is a group thta is helping them film and produce them. (Time to do a search for their site) » Posted By bito On December 7, 2009 @ 5:28 pm Monk, on Tucson radio they just said “northern Az.” I don’t know what they mean by that, is there a line some where`~~ Hell, from Tucson a lot is “north.” 🙂 » Posted By bito On December 7, 2009 @ 9:04 am Monk, are you in the area for the winter storm watch? Heavy snow, blowing and drifting? Or is the north of you. We are supposed to have rain and snow in the mts. here in Tucson » Posted By bito On December 7, 2009 @ 7:44 am Rashomon: Twelve views of President Obama’s visit to Capitol Hill Looking forward to your post! Enjoy your knowledge and view. » Posted By bito On December 7, 2009 @ 4:49 pm I don’t care if my account is open or closed.I don’t go there! I no longer trust or believe the articles there. There is no sourcing or few facts. Too many other sites to read. PPOV is my home.The aggravation of the trolls is not missed by me. » Posted By bito On December 7, 2009 @ 4:41 pm Khirad, Have you heard much about the demonstrations in Iran today? » Posted By bito On December 7, 2009 @ 4:33 pm You’re right, kesmarn. It is part of the Graham’s. I did look in to it. » Posted By bito On December 7, 2009 @ 2:16 pm Have any of your groups heard about Sister S’arah using planes form “Samaritan Purse” on her book tour? Why would she be using planes from a charity? » Posted By bito On December 7, 2009 @ 9:14 am A happy turn of events for this greyhound BDM, She wasn’t picky. » Posted By bito On December 9, 2009 @ 3:04 pmComments Posted By bito
That is a good point. Like Dr. Dean just said (and I think we all are)” I have to see how it is written and what is in it”
In fact, as I prepare to go to the floor of the House this week to defend a package of tough financial reforms and consumer and investor protections, I confront a hostile, virtually unanimous Republican Party, which has a major characteristic in common with a different set of eighteenth century figures – the kings of France. When the French monarchy was restored to power in the 19th century, it was said that “The Bourbons have forgotten nothing because they learned nothing.”
Current House Republicans now oppose financial regulation because they have learned nothing from the current economic crisis.
while I have some disagreement with the bill, it does seem as if the GOP liked the status quo when all their friends got rich.
“regulations? We don’t need no stinking regulations” the bankers know what they are doing!
A moment of breath for women’s reproductive rights
“Motion to Table”
Reid is on the floor voicing his position against it. “this is a HC Bill not an abortion bill”
At our precinct committee meetings we had many “spirited” conversations about the DLC. It being Central Florida,the progressives were outnumbered but we battled on with them. To me DLC were Dixiecrats that owned a business.

Tucson is paying for an EMPTY stadium right now!
(KO just called SP, “Sister Sarah.” LOL)
Quiz me this? have you or do you know of some one that dresses up/ paints their body to go to a football game?
