        Newsflash, the surge worked. We won in Iraq.

        The country just lost. This bill was not about healthcare. It was about BHO's desire to screw America. He hates this country and will do whatever he can to ruin it. This bill will destroy this country. That is BHO's intention.

          I assume you'll be leaving.

          Well, have a pleasant trip, and good luck on finding an industrialized nation that doesn't offer a universal health care system.

          BJ Fan and his paranoid delusions. So, Obama risked his life and the life of his family to run for president because he wanted to destroy this country? And, in order to destroy this country he decided to help pass a water downed healthcare reform bill without single payer, a public option, or medicare for all.

          I don't believe anyone could be this stupid.

            Obama risked his life? Are you on drugs?

            Yes, he absolutely ran for president because he wants to destroy the country. He can inflict far more dangerous on the inside. I truly believe his entire raison d'etre is to bring harm to America.

            Look at his past. Look at the company he keeps -- all America haters. I would not at all be surprised if BHO is a Manchurian candidate.

            This bill had nothing to do with healthcare. Its entire purpose is to crash our economy. Obama is the enemy of America. When he succeeds America loses. When he fails America wins.

          Awesome! At the cost of 4,000 soldier's lives lost, tens of thousands maimed, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilian deaths and 2 trillion dollars, we've managed to replace a brutal police with.........wait for it............another brutal police. Unforunately, though, the moment we leave, the Iraqis will start slaughtering each other again.

          Hurrah for victory!

          Newsflash! Bobby Jindal fan hates this country. He wants everyone to fall on hard times. He wants this nation to crumble and disappear with the wind. Why? Well, it could be that he actually feels sorry for big insurance companies and as such just can't stand the thought that consumer protection from predatory corporate greed is coming. Bobby Jindal fan hates common working people and would rather see insurance companies deny coverage to sick people just so they can ensure another round of bonuses for high level executives. Or, it could be that Bobby Jindal fan wants peoples lives to get worse because of simple pride. I mean really, how is he and other Fox News/Talk radio sheep going to look when all the dire predictions of national calamity don't come to fruition? Seriously, he has a vested interest in not only this countries failure but the worsening of peoples actual lives. So the reality is that poor ol' Bobby Jindal fan loves corporate greed and talk radio personalities more than his country. Listen buddy, this is America, love it or leave it!

        We'd be out of debt in no time. It can be like a swear jar, a nickel every time they complain about the military, a dollar when they call Obama a man child, a five dollar bill if the swear or say blank word, maybe another dollar when they pick on the looks of women representatives, you get the idea. I bet we'd be out of debt by 2020.

      I actually watched this exact segment last night. It was profoundly amusing to see the blank deer in the headlights look on every face, including that of Brett Bair. I've noticed one thing from each and every right wing shill opposing this legislation. Their only means of discussion is to make assertions about what will happen and present them as fact. The reality is that they are all scared as h3ll now. If all the scary things they preached about do not come to fruition, what credibility will they every have again? They are now married to hope that bad things will happen to this nation. Success is doom to them. Talk about a precarious situation for someone. They are actually hoping that things get worse for their audience. The hilarious part is that their audience is so stupid they don't even realize it.
