i know, you already told me
You know Prof I could remove you from my ignore list to see what you said, but it would be waste of time, and I'm sure it's along the same lines as the nonsense J-Mac posts. I think I'll just keep you on the ignore mode.
I'm sorry J-Mac that is a bald faced lie and it's amazing you are accusing someone else of using a 'talking point." There were numerous republican ideas including hundreds of amendments adopted during the committee process. Just some of the ideas adopted were:
If you think health care costs are just fine the way they are you're either very ignorant or...
I say let the rest of the states reform health care and let Missouri do it's own thing.
And the last time they had power they got half of that wrong and the tax cuts, by their own design, are set to expire soon. But they double promise to be different this time....LOL...:2rofll:LiberalAvenger said:The republicans have offered no solutions except cut spending and taxes ...
That extinction talk never ends. People talked about the end of the Democratic Party in 1994. Neither party is going away. There are cycles. Were one of the parties actually any good, it might threaten the other party into non-existance, but as both parties are corrupt cesspools, that isn't going to happen.
If the republicans gain the majority in the house they will spend all of their time investigating democrats and maybe trying another impeachment.
Some republicans are already talking about shutting down the government.
I am sure that osama bin laden is very happy about the whole ****ing deal.
It was a very low voter turnout considering only about 17% of the electorate in Missouri actually showed up to vote. So that would be about what, 5% of the "show me's" that favored Prop C? IMO, the low voter turnout is more of bellweather, than a few tea partiers voting for what they little understand.Dems retreat on health care cost pitch - Ben Smith - POLITICO.com

you think the pissed off expressions spat by SEVENTY ONE PERCENT of show me's is CONFINED to missouri, the most bellwether commonwealth in the union?
LOL!
Just think of the things we could have done without him...LOL
Dug yourselves into an even deeper economic whole, increased useless defense spending, severed more alliances, and hastened the fall of America at an ever-increasing speed?
Examples or links please.

Republicans invited Obama to appear at their annual conference; the president accepted — and then surprised them by asking that cameras and reporters be allowed into the room.
Republicans immediately agreed to the request, but they may be regretting it now.
Again and again, Obama turned the Republicans questions against them — accusing them of obstructing legislation for political purposes and offering solutions that won’t work.
"I've read your legislation. I take a look at this stuff. And the good ideas we take," Obama said. "It can't be all or nothing, one way or the other … If we put together a stimulus package in which a third of it is tax cuts that normally you guys would support, and support for states and the unemployed and helping people stay on COBRA, that certainly your governors would support … and maybe there are some things in there, with respect to infrastructure, that you don't like … If there's uniform opposition because the Republican caucus doesn't get 100 percent or 80 percent of what you want, then it's going to be difficult to get a deal done, because that's not how democracy works."
House Minority Leader John Boehner, who introduced Obama to his colleagues and gave the president a stack of Republican policy proposals, said afterward that the event had been “a good first step in having more of a dialogue.”
Arizona Rep. Jeff Flake said the event had helped his party by showing that Republicans have offered alternatives to Obama’s plans.

Where did the people go who said Republicans will pick up a majority in the Senate? I like how people say things without backing it up, not surprised at all though.
Even America's liberal elites concede that Obama's Presidency is crumbling
Political handicappers now say it is conceivable that the Republicans could also win the 10 seats they need to take back the Senate. Not since 1930 has the House changed hands without the Senate following suit.
Is this a piece from National Review, The Weekly Standard, The Wall Street Journal or Fox News.com, all major conservative news outlets in the United States? No. It’s a direct quote from yesterday’s Washington Post, ...
2010 Is ‘Gone,’ Says Big-Time Dem
“He cannot save 2010,” the big-time Democrat is saying of Barack Obama. “It is gone. He must now concentrate on saving 2012. But the biggest fear of some of those close to him is that he might not really want to go on in 2012...
In my experience, the big-time Democrat has hardly ever been wrong. He does not dislike President Obama. On the contrary, like most big-time Democrats, he worked hard for his election in 2008 and would much rather see Democrats hold onto Congress this Nov. 2 than lose.
He just doesn’t think it’s going to happen...
“There is going to be a total wipeout, and it is totally going to be in Obama’s lap,” he said....

hmm, comparisons between barry hussein and dear ronnie...
the polls, the unemployment rate...
fine, but you can't see that one big difference?
LOL!
why, it's fundamental
In 1981, Reagan significantly reduced the maximum tax rate, which affected the very wealthy, and lowered the top marginal tax rate from 70% to 50%; in 1986 he further reduced the rate to 28%.[15] As a result of all this, the budget deficit and federal debt increased considerably: debt grew from 33.3% of GDP in 1980 to 51.9% at the end of 1988 [16] and the deficit increased from 2.7% in 1980 to more than double in 1983, when it reached 6%; in 1984, 1985 and 1986 it was around 5%.[17] In order to cover new federal budget deficits, the United States borrowed heavily both domestically and abroad, raising the national debt from $700 billion to $3 trillion,[18] and the United States moved from being the world's largest international creditor to the world's largest debtor nation.[19] Reagan described the new debt as the "greatest disappointment" of his presidency.[18]

and the people LOVED him
What are they going to do send in the Federal Troops to force people to buy healthcare like they did with desegregation? If the state governor holds firm then **** the Feds let them try to enforce their bull****.
ROTFL. Yeah, the difference is so fundamental, Ronnie raised payroll taxes on the middle class, increased the size of government and lowered taxes for the wealthy which resulted in the largest budget deficit since WW2 turning the US from the largest creditor nation, to the largest debtor nation in the world.
No, you cons worshipped himn as a god, but that is about it.

The Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 was repealed in 1982 with the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982, before it could take effect.....37 democrat senators and 133 democrat congressmen voted for the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981, but the bill was 100% Reagan's fault??
Typical lib.
"The original TEFRA bill as passed by the House lowered taxes[7]. The Republican-controlled Senate replaced the text of the original House bill with a number of tax increases, and the bill became law after President Ronald Reagan signed it....
In 1988, libertarian political writer Sheldon Richman described TEFRA as "the largest tax increase in American history." In 2003, former Reagan adviser Bruce Bartlett wrote in the National Review that
"TEFRA raised taxes by $37.5 billion per year", elaborating, "according to a recent Treasury Department study, TEFRA alone raised taxes by almost 1 percent of the gross domestic product, making it the largest peacetime tax increase in American history."[8]....
