The whole mess needs a good cleaning, and there's only one way I know of to get that done.

I think when they had control of the Funny Cookie Company and Martin allowed the media to get into the control of six or seven conglomerates we were doomed. I guess it did not occur that this was a two edged sword and it cuts both ways.

It used to be said "Believe only half of what you read in the papers." hell nowadays I believe none of it. The liars have the bully pulpit and run the country like their personal plantation.

Rep Price has his head in a dirty orifice. He is so quick to forget that HE has government healthcare paid for BY US. These guys don't want to talk, they want to complain and play the chronic sour grapes cards.

Wait, wait...I have an idea...for all the Reps and Sens who don't want govt healthcare, let's take away their plush govt plan and let them buy their insurance on the open market with their own money...I submit that they would soon change their tunes.

They're idiots.

I have a better idea, let ALL of them from the President on down receive the same health care and plans that we do. At least then they'd be more inclined to think about the people's problems than their own pockets.
