While I like to imagine that CSPAN is run by a bunch of trash talking adrenaline junkies who talk smack about CSPAN2 when they don’t land a key gig, it’s probably not literally true. So we made their promo for them.

    Your bsing me, and yes libertarians did support the patriot act at least the ones ive talked to, they more extremely conservative though.

    HEY EVERY BODY, …
    HEY EVERY BODY, SHUT UP this video is to provide comedy not start a debate just watch the video and get over it

    Sounds like you …
    Sounds like you vote based on principle. That is a no no, you are supposed to only vote based on letters in front of names. You must blindly follow one party to fit in, get with the program.

  4. dkkght46 Says:

    The only way this …
    The only way this works is the House to pass the Senate bill and then, depending on what the package is, the reconciliation provision that moves first through the House and then comes to the Senate. Pelosi insisted that the House will not pass the Senate bill until the Senate passes a second bill that fixes the first -its dead meaning it is not going to happen and you can all praise Nobama, Pelosi & Reid for this SNAFU. The Pubs did not have to do anything but watch them screw it up.

  5. MrHazmat13 Says:

    You said I support …
    You said I support the party that instituted the Patriot Act. So now your saying that the Libertarians did that? It wasn’t the Republicans with help from a lot of Democrats?

    See, now you’ve been caught. You thought I was a Republican because I don’t like Obama. Your tiny little mind couldn’t figure out that more than just Republicans disapprove of how the Government is running.

    p.s. Im not part of any party. No one party represents what I think and feel we should be. Too hard for you to grasp?

    I’ll respond to you …
    I’ll respond to you with language you understand…Okay dip-shit show me where there is a federal statue requiring auto insurance. As for the PO, Medicare and Medicaid going broke you must be living in a vacuum you dumb shit. You haven’t noticed the PO cut hours to save money in hopes of getting out of the red? Or is it dip-shit you don’t get mail? Have you ever read a newspaper or watched TV to see what is going on in this country other than your own self contained world of total bullshit.

  8. Sp0ilTheFun Says:

    So you’re not …
    So you’re not libertarian? If you say your an independent your either a stupid one or some random jackass trying to troll, if so 5/10 gj.

  9. DrCaustic Says:

    President Obama …
    President Obama believes America’s streets are paved with gold.

    This is awesome.
    This is awesome.

    I keep hearing our …
    I keep hearing our politicians saying, ” if we decide to go after the corruption in healthcare”, WTF IF?
    Corruption anywhere, should be governments first priority.
    Second, make the drug companies sell their drugs to everybody at the same price.
    The drug companies are subsidizing the price of drugs on the backs of all Americans.

  12. MrHazmat13 Says:

    Exactly what party …
    Exactly what party do I support?

    Typical liberal idiot, you think that because I don’t like Obama and the Democrats that I must support the Republicans. You’re wrong on that point just like all the others.

  13. MrHazmat13 Says:

    You can try and …
    You can try and twist the meaning of the Constitution all you want. Government was not formed to provide anything to the people. Don’t you feel that if the Founding Fathers wanted the Government to pay for everyone’s needs, or control health-care that they’d have doe that themselves? Not 200+ years later?

  14. toddolavi Says:

    We need more money …
    We need more money to go to medical schools and residencies….increase numbers of doctors and you will lower costs…
    Next, tort reform.

  15. toddolavi Says:

    Well put. However, …
    Well put. However, this bill is not necessarily the solution.
    We need:
    1. More doctors and nurses.
    2. Tort reform
    3. Real preventative medicine.

    Most americans smoke pot and are overweight. If we paid every fat person $10,000 to lose weight that would be better than signing this bill.
    We could give 100,000,000 people 10 grand apiece to get in shape, now that is a health care idea!

  16. toddolavi Says:

    One trillion on …
    One trillion on health care.
    Thats 1,000,000 times 1,000,000…..just imagine if we PAID 1,000,000 people to become doctors, we could pay them &1,000,000 each to go to school and to start working. That would definately lower health care costs!

  17. carltonjhodge Says:

    No, it does not. …
    No, it does not. Look at Bernie Madoff. Criminals are criminals, it is painfully simple.

  18. carltonjhodge Says:

    If they charged …
    If they charged 100%, nobody would us their service, and they would go out of business. The market will only bear so much.

  19. carltonjhodge Says:

    The government will …
    The government will take my freedom, or my children’s freedom. Do you doubt that they will? Look all around you, human nature is what it is. History is littered with failed democracies, they never last more than 200 years.The people always vote themselves back into servitude. There is no such thing as a free lunch, government money ALWAYS comes with strings attached. We’ll give you this, but you have to do that…..no thanks.

  20. carltonjhodge Says:

    Your aunt didn’t …
    Your aunt didn’t have anyone who cared enough to help her make those decisions? I have family members I take care of. Apparently, somebody that was supposed to be responsible for her, because she couldn’t take care of herself, dropped the ball.

  21. carltonjhodge Says:

    Did you get it in …
    Did you get it in your e-mail?

  22. ramben66 Says:

    The waiting times …
    The waiting times in these countries are at most a few weeks more than ours, and often comparable. People here get turned down for procedures every day, by THEIR INSURANCE COMPANIES. And not so that someone who needs care more urgently can get it, just so that some CEO can make another million.

    Here’s a question for you: How many people go bankrupt from medical bills in the US? Over 700,000 per year. How many in Canada or almost any of the countries with Universal health care? NONE.

  23. ramben66 Says:

    The U.S. has 20 …
    The U.S. has 20 times the population of Canada. We have many times more doctors, and many (too many) of them are specialists. Just by numbers alone, we are likely to have a few of the top specialists in the world.

    And when the PM of Canada came here, part of that was subsidized by his government health care plan.

    A republic is a form of government. Socialism is a form of economic system. Sweden is a Socialist Democracy. They are not incompatible.

  24. JurisArcane Says:

    Oh, and lest I give …
    Oh, and lest I give your dumbass any sort of amunition whatsoever, that you may confuse yourself with having figured out something on your own, yes Im aware that many other petroleum products are drawn out first, propane, butane, natural gas, ISO butane, etc etc etc etc etc etc.

  25. ramben66 Says:

    There is no such …
    There is no such thing as a “free market” absent of the government’s action.

    Government mints the coins and money we use and establishes the standards and measures that products are measured by. Government sets the rules about what is a legitimate trade, and what is force or fraud. Government provides the police to catch those who don’t follow those rules, the courts to judge them, the jails to hold them.

    No Government means we meet to barter and I kill you and take your goods because I can.
