What's wrong with the term neko . . . it distinguishes him from his father? I mean c'mon you don't really believe there's a comparison to Obama being called a Communist, Socialist, Kenyan, uneducated community organizer and not even an American citizen . . .

Bush was called a murderer, war criminal, chimp and many other things. Let's be honest now, knot.   There is disrespect for Obama, but there was just as much disrespect for Bush.

You are correct, Bush was called those things but I did not . . . I simply said Boy George! Didn't mean to ruffle your feathers . . . lol

Boy George didn't ruffle my feathers....he's called much worse, by FT and others.

That's right. Somebody has got to call a horse a horse..... Besides, it can be used to get a rise out of certain posters.....

It was shoved through without consideration on a weekend if I recollect properly without a second thought .

It was debated for over a year during the legislative process.  We even had a LIVE, televised, day-long "healthcare summit" in which republican leaders met with democrats to ask questions and hammer this shit out.  In fact, here it is:

Part two:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8EzIK_b4aA

Obama even faced the republican house, on his own, live, on television, to give them a chance to generate any type of "gotcha" BS that they could imagine.  In fact, here that is:

Then, after the usual legislative process, we saw republicans fight this legislation through the courts.  Links to that entire process are available below:

After all that, republicans dove to the ground, and pounded and kicked the floor - whining like moronic fucking brats, and shutting down the government in the process.

And mind you, this is all the result of passing the republican "free market solution".  Democrats have conceded this bullshit, after more than a decade of debate while fighting for universal, or single-payer healthcare.  This is what makes this entire thread that much more laughable.  Voters like PACEDOG are such idiots, they don't even realize that the policy they are fighting so vehemently against was created by their very own party, and was their very own party's side of the battle lines ten years ago.

We really need basic aptitude tests, and licenses for voting privileges at this point.  This is often proposed in jest, but seriously.

Let's start by eliminating all the ones that have to rely on the government teat so they can sit at home and play their Xbox's instead of finding a job and really contributing to society and the economy... Like your buddy Sal.

'Aptitude test' doesn't mean what you think it means.

Do you have even the faintest grasp on how the legislative process works?
