Some Interesting Stats Re Congressional Reps/HC Industry Dollars

Hi dobson, yes, I was aware of that. Of course the employee groups are a part of the health industry, I believe.

So wouldn’t they have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo? With the exception of doctors, of course, since we know that they want reform.

The end of the anti-trust exemption is a great thing!

I agree that some of the Dems received more $ because they were responsible for writing the bill.

What i like is that none of the Dems, with the exception of Gordon (TN) voted no in spite of the big bucks.

thanks, Nellie. Barton J. Gordon (in the blue).

Touche on wording………concede.

As to the Senate…

I have an idea or two, but surely none that would suit. Nevertheless, I believe that something needs to change because the ruling party should not be forced to constantly perform fellatio on the party which is not in power, and even in performing said fellatio, still come up short.

A pity we will likely never be allowed to amend the Constitution to change the law of 2 senators per state. Life would be very, very different in these united states.

I am not crazy about this bill either, but it is a whole lot better than nothing, and I have hope that some things will be altered in conference, and perhaps we will add amendments to it in the future. At least it is something.

Btw, LBJ had 68 Dems in the Senate. 295 Dems in the House.

A success, considering

Great.
I asked because I am nosy, checked your profile, and it said it had been removed. Typical huffpo crap.

WLA, did you off yourself or get banned? Just curious, and feel free to tell me to mind my own business! πŸ˜†

oh, and I agree….. fuck Dick Cheney, indeed.

Speaking for myself, your opinion, javaz, has been very much appreciated!!

THE TRUE FACE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

So what’s going on?

» Posted By nicole473 On November 9, 2009 @ 5:12 am

Same here, javaz. And I have a very hard time these days ignoring their political persuasion and relating to them as neighbors and friends. πŸ™

Why not address her post, Will? Can’t? So who is a name-calling reactionary then?

How it is that the Teabagger Movement is bogus

Well, Will.

You are free to disprove Kevin’s assertions. Can’t wait to see that proof.

» Posted By nicole473 On November 7, 2009 @ 6:51 am

Yes.

Best.post.ever.kevenseven.

And the most true and telling line resides in your last paragraph: ” They mean that America should not have a N****R as president.”

I too hold them in utter contempt.

Americans for Prosperity and Dickhead Armey should be ashamed of their completely transparent machinations of people who have absolutely no real understanding of the issues, and persistently fight against what is in own their best interest. Indeed, the buses carrying these shills to the site of their faux populist gatherings could be likened to coffins.

Teabaggers will be pitied, reviled, and laughed at for the remainder of this country’s history.
