Do we have any word on when this will reach the Senate floor?
work harder dammit. my lowly artist brain cant figureit out, but something has to be done. we had a prop down here in California about gay marriage. it was smeared as literally teaching homosexuality in school without parent consent. those words were no where on the bill. nor did it address teaching. but it was sponsored by the anti-happy coalition. things like that turn my stomach.
we cant pretend that its just education. its on purpose to misinform.

thanks!
thanks!
Fascists/communists coming into power will lead to the betterment of everyone, or did my first reply to you go right over your head?
Revolutions go well when it's a bunch of rich people being replaced by another bunch of slightly less rich people. See the American Revolution.
The American revolution only happened because there was a hunger there. You dont get this hunger by buying into the system with "Votes" and maintaining the status quo.
Fascism has also failed to make life better for everyone where ever it has been tried.

They're crazy from most perspectives.
yes..yes there was. As you can look from the outside in, I don't think you realize how dangerous the tea party is. They really want the government to default.

Whenever they stop patting themselves on the back for getting this "deal" done..
OK, since I guess you have no idea about anything, and don't even know what NDSP and Bolshevik mean:
You think that a horrific economic collapse will lead people to better the world. In reality, horrific economic collapse causes people to become angry and hateful and violent rather than productive, and will make the world a much worse place.
PS: the NDSP was the Nazi Party, and the Bolsheviks were Lenin's communists. They got into power due to horrific economic collapse and the support of people who were starving and terrified.

Dees, the artist of this picture, is literally a sick person. He doesn't represent anyone or anything but America's failure to properly deal with mental illness.
So let's not go posting artwork from him in a conversation about actual politics.
It is unlikely, but yes.
Yes, if Boehner doesn't put it up for a vote, but I don't think he has the balls to do that as it would literally piss off a lot of people.

No. There has always been enough votes in the House for this to pass, there will probably be even more votes than before now due to the debt ceiling window.

Soooo Death Panels?
Not only should Bush be impeached. He should be trialled as a war criminal and rot in a jail for the rest of his life. Bush having committed a major war crime is not such a fringe opinion.

So people on the right can feel like they got something. Someone I was responding too just did this on the last page. Made em feel more concerva-cozy about the whe ACA.

They functionally are receiving nothing - income verification already exists as part of the law.
They basically did receive nothing.
Well, I suppose they got a "talking point" about something that was already in the law.
And they got record low approval ratings.
They received something which was already there... As long as they feel better about it, it's probably ok to make a "concession"

they grilled the park services guy, it was pretty hilarious.
they were lambasting him about having barriers up and asked him to take them down.
and he said he wouldnt until they passed an appropriations bill, and the congressman asking him to do it got pissed.

If they can figure out any possible way to make it more difficult for an eligible person to sign up for Obamacare, they will. The only concern I have is whether or not this gives them anything "extra" to fuck with aside from the way the income verification already written in the law.

They received nothing that wouldn't have been there had they just passed a clean CR/DL increase three weeks ago.

That was thrown out immediately. But you can bet there are a lot of Republican staffers that are looking for new jobs because they know that the people they work for will throw them under the bus in a second.
Lying about weapons of mass destruction, and then invading a country using an unrelated terrorist attack as moral leverage, whilst killing thousands of poor people who joined the military due to the lack of other options, whilst also killing thousands of innocent civilians, and turning a previously balanced budget into a $1 trillion deficit, with most of that "money" going to your friends in the military-industrial complex isn't an impeachable offence.
Getting your dick sucked in the oval office and lying about it is.
Or lying under oath. That could have had something to do with it.
But we don't agree on philosophy. I agree that there are plenty of racist Democrats (see Hillaryis44 for example) But that's hardly the same as the issue with the Tea Party. The majority of Tea Partiers when polled, express racist views of the president. The majority believe he is a foreign born muslim. They also show very little understanding at all, of the issues they're obsessed with.
This continued insistence that both parties are equally bad is a fucking embarrassment.
The current Tea-Party-driven GOP is objectively, demonstrably and obviously worse. Any argument to the contrary won't pass any rational sniff test.
Sounds messy.

Yeah they'll shut down the government again in a few months, and look like fools again, strenghtening a Democrat win in 2016.
Immigration reform is the next issue Obama is asking the senate to push through. Let's see the Republicans shoot themselves in the foot again on that one.

Let's worry more about 2014. Let's hope the GOP keeps fucking up until then.
I don't think we really need to worry whether or not the GOP is going to keep fucking up, though.
