      More lies and distortions from Fox.

      Here's a different perspective on the cost of C&T:

        GOP-backed estimates of teabagger attendance were off by a factor of, what, 30 or so?

        I'll keep that in mind concerning all statistics offered by Fox or any other Republican sources.

        Right wingers just don't like math.

          RW's love math, just not the same one that other people use.

          There's the 'Conservative Constant', which turned the 70,000 9/12ers into 2 million.

          There's 'Alternate Statistics', which O'Reilly created (wow, as great a man as Isaac Newton, who (co)created Calculus) to explain why the US and other countries don't compare because they're different sizes.

      I dont care what it will cost it is another tax on everyone and mainly the middle income who will shoulder the brunt of the cost.
      There is no reason for it the government needs to stop it seems the democrats want to over regulate everything and the republicans dont want any regulations.

      I just wish all the big brained people in Washington could figure this out to help everyone not just their special interest groups.

        Too bad Republicans can't find ways to work with the Democrats on this. The Reps constantly whine about how the Dems freeze them out of negotiations.

        But the Reps, applying their denier pseudoscience alchemy and witchcraft refuse to accept the facts about AGW. So, of course they won't negotiate anything they refuse to accept.

        You can't reason with crying, screaming spoiled children.
