      If it ruins the Conservative Economy, I am all in. The SEMI-Conservative Clinton Economy was a model on how liberals can build a sustainable economic strategem that's fiscally responsible.

      To correct the grammer of Bob Jones III, "You owe the Republicans nothing. They despise you because they despise your success."

      FoxNews and Republicans need to "spin" their "NO" support to American children with pre-existing conditions will NOW be covered, or small businesses will NOW be able to insure their employees with quality coverage, or medications for Senior Citizens will NOW be more affordable, etc. etc. Republicans and FoxNews were on the "wrong" side of history, and NOW they need ANY and ALL "distractions" as cover. LOL.

      FAILURE to grapple with HCR would have ruined our economy. The other night on C-Span they had an economics professor in a town hall who told the listeners that if we didn't start working on bringing down the cost curve, the vast majority (virtually all, actually) of our long term deficts will be able to be tied to spiralling healthcare costs!

      Failure to take the steps Obama did would have been the worst thing he could have done, actually.

      It sucks that they are misrepresenting this so much, and it's toxic to the debate we SHOULD be having on the economy and true deficit spending!

      ...If our economy in it's entirety depended on people going bankrupt due to lack of health care, than yes, it's terrible for the economy.

      With its Fair and Balanced chyrons, Fair and Balanced panels, a Fair and Balanced prime-time lineup, Fair and Balanced debates, Fair and Balanced propaganda and Fair and Balanced GOP talking points, it's no wonder so many empty-headed sheeple tune into this ridiculous channel. What would they do without all of this fairness? It's just coming out of their ears.
