The question really wasn't about any particular bill, but I see you're hot on this healthcare topic.

 

You're against mandatory health insurance, mostly because of the cost to taxpayers.

Who do you think currently foots the bill for the uninsured?

 

You're against tax brackets or any hard line used to separate taxpayers into groups.

How do you propose taxpayers be categorized?

 

You say there's infighting among the Dems (which you find amusing) and that's what's holding up this bill. Then you add that it's the true Conservatives who are doing the right thing here and that the Dems are taking one for the Democratic "team". Huh?

You should read this article Gene, if you have an interest in the discussion we were having.

Its an article from today, that hits on some of the points that I was talking about, mainly about one of the main duties from our elected officials in having to represent the positions and views of their electorate.

 

As I said, it's the Democrats in this issue that are walking the plank to score one for the Democratic "team".

The Nobel Prize of War just finished saying here that he is here to act. Well, show it sir. Don't leave by the back door," he said. Three years after Chavez likened Bush to the devil during a speech at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, the socialist strongman tore into Obama, claiming Friday that "it still smells like sulfur in the world."

 

Assembled world leaders cheered on Chavez Wednesday during his first, scheduled speech, a ringing attack on all things capitalist that earned him standing ovations from leaders of the Third World.

to get an idea of how things went in Copenhagen

 

“You know, it raises an interesting question as to whether technically there's actually a signature… It's not a legally binding agreement, I don't know what the protocols are,” said a bleary-eyed Obama, before hopping in Air Force One for the trip back to Washington.

 

I think that says it all.

How else would things have went in Copenhagen?

 

I've been to plenty of websites that thold me that - Copenhagen = Hopenhagen

 

Without Copenhagen the world was going to end. There was no hopenhagen without copenhagen

"The US has lied to the world when they called it a deal and they lied to over a hundred countries when they said would listen to their needs,” said Kate Horner with Friends of the Earth, a non-governmental organization that had called for strict emissions targets.

 

“This is a toothless declaration.”

 

"Squarely the blame is on President Obama. When you look very carefully and dig into what happened, you find that there is no difference whatsoever between President Obama and President Bush, except one of them tells it as it is," said Lumumba Di-Aping, the chief negotiator of the G77 bloc of developing countries, in an interview with POLITICO,
