Get over yourselves ladies

[boston bean]

the Democratic Party is trying hard to find some COMMON GROUND with the GOP. And it's hard work doin all the common ground ground work.

And by golly they have finally achieved it. They found it by making every concession with nothing in return. It's absolutely genius strategy!

And I do hope everyone is feeling good about all this common ground that is being newly discovered. It is afterall the mark of a successful political machine. And it's all so warm and fuzzy, makes me feel like I just had a cup of hot coco with marshmellow.

Ladies and everyone else, we can be so much happier now.

Just think about it, no more single issue voting, no more voting with your vagina's, no more wedge issues, no more bitchin.

You have been given a new place in life, and we can thank common ground for it.

1. Hmm, a minority of men are seeking "common ground" with GOP's majority of men?

[boston bean]

3. ah did any man in the democratic party, besides Dennis Kucinich vote

against that POS bill with the STUPAK amendment??

[nemo137]

37. 38 of them, as a matter of fact.

I also seem to recall several voting for Stupak but against the final bill. :shrug:

[etherealtruth]

7. I think the OP is pointing out the ridiculousness of the compromise ...

... and those that defend it.

"They found it be making every concession with nothing in return"

[dschis]

9. Definately not

But take you can get. It was a Repug plant, we need to get this done and jobs on the front burner or we aren't going to be in control for long. We can reintroduce it next year as bill with more protections that 'you ladies',sorry I had to dig on the OP,get on present law

[boston bean]

12. wth are you talking about, i have totally missed your point! nt

[dschis]

14. REALLY Simple

Hammer them later. Get this damn thing passed so we can work on JOBS!!!!
Otherwise we have Repugs back in control

[boston bean]

17. Oh you are a first class common grounder! Shall I kiss your ass now or later?? nt

[dschis]

21. Try

I'm a little on the old side. I'm saying if we continue to drag the HCR out and don't start thinking about jobs...Republicans will be in control and all will be for naught

[boston bean]

23. yes, the healthcare for over half the population being bargained away

and we must rush that shit through. okay......

btw, i wouldn't really kiss your ass.....

[dschis]

27. Thank you and so does the wife

I know it's really tough. We've been handed a bucket of BS and told we have a build a castle. It isn't fair, that's for sure

[dschis]

29. Maybe we'll still do it

Think positive and write, write, write. Senator Brown knows my name so does Boehner(he doesn't count though, money talks there)

[boston bean]

33. I know those wellness exams that use to have to be covered for women

will no longer be, especially for people in hard times. I pray something doesn't go missed.....

[dschis]

53. Yeaaaah

It's tough they threw a pile of poop and told us to make a castle out of it

[boston bean]

2. sticks and stones my break my bones, but unrecs will never phase me.....

[Cali_Democrat]

5. LOL. n/t

[Toucano]

4. I think you mean "marshmallow".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshmallow

[boston bean]

6. maybe, but then again i am feeling quite mellow with all this newly forged common ground.. nt

[tnlefty]

8. Carla Lewis, is that you? Or Kristen Day?

I'm not aware that my vagina has ever voted, but I'll think about consulting it later.

And I think this is :sarcasm:, at least I hope so.

[boston bean]

10. women concerned about women's issues are usually treated to the

wonderful you vote with your vagina retort.

It's all part of the plan stan, it's one of the best plays of all time, to get women to shut the hell up about their issues.

if it hasn't happened to you, speak up a little more and you might become one of the lucky ones like many of us other ladies.

[tnlefty]

38. I've had my uterus and ovaries mentioned to me, sorry, no

one has mentioned to me that I vote with my vagina, but still, I'm thinking about consulting it later.}(

[boston bean]

44. well your not doing enough then.

you are obviously not trying hard enough.

[dschis]

11. Gosh we penises don't know what to! LOL

[tnlefty]

40. Stand on your heads?

:shrug:

[dschis]

54. LOL

I'm laughing so hard I can't see the keyboard

[MichiganVote]

13. Yeah sure........been here, done that.

[boston bean]

15. you have forged such common ground! I salute you!

:patriot:

[MichiganVote]

19. They can talk to me when they remove the filter from their Fox reality.

[boston bean]

22. yes you may be right, my vagina could be clouding my judgement.

you want me to quit my bitchin, huh?

[Lars39]

Damn. I had brownies in the oven for him, too.

:rofl:

[MichiganVote]

24. Actually I want you to put a sarcasm tag on your OP.

[boston bean]

25. why?? and why did you change your last comment to me?? nt

[MichiganVote]

41. Because I took the time to read the entire thread and changed my mind about your posts.

Next time, just save me the trouble and put a sarcasm tag on your post.

[Arkana]

16. I shall cut off my penis in shame.

Wait, no...I won't do that.

[Toucano]

18. Freeper!

Joking!

[boston bean]

20. (joking??) you may want to rethink that.......

[dschis]

26. I still think the GOP or you know who got one of their lackeys

to stir that hornet's nest knowing it would upset all of us especially the fairer sex. I think we might be getting 'played'

[boston bean]

28. oh yes, the fairer sex.... is gonna get as mad as a hornet! Dang it! nt

[dschis]

32. Old Southern saying

If Momma isn't happy....Nobody is

[tnlefty]

39. Wrong! "if Momma AIN'T happy, then nobody is".

Momma ain't happy.

[dschis]

47. I stand corrected

[Jack Rabbit]

30. If there were any common ground with the opposition . . .

. . . the Republicans would have boxed it up and thrown it into the sea some time ago.

[boston bean]

huh, nancy pelosi said right after the vote they found common ground and must continue to seek it..

[boston bean]

35. dupe

[PufPuf23]

31. Obama should say chuck the current HCR Bill

First, I think it sucks and sets way too many negative direction precedents.

Second (and political chess), Obama can say we will try again after the 2010 elections. Make HCR a wedge issue and then we will have larger majority and greater proportion of representitives that support health care reform comparable to more civilized societies.

I do not think either is likely but the strategy is sound.

[dschis]

34. You have a point there

[boston bean]

36. of course you think it's a great idea, the nation can move onto jobs, jobs, jobs! win win, right..

[PufPuf23]

42. Jobs, jobs, jobs sounds good

Win, win, win not so good; I prefer good wins rather than chalk one up for our side regardless of content.

I am in the camp that would rather Obama take a strong lead than accept hideously flawed legislation on HCR.

[dschis]

48. Ok, let him say I'll veto and start the jobs program

I sort of think that's where it'll go anyway. By the time it makes to the White House it stink even worse that it does now.

He needs to fire Immanual, I don't if I spelled his name correctly

[dschis]

50. Hungry people do strange things

I and others on this forum are doing OK, but there are a lot of people out there getting really ticked. You have to do both at the same time. I think He's going to it, it's taking too long for the bought off pigs in Congress (not all) to get this HCR done and they aren't even getting it right

[dschis]

52. The working middle class is the foundation of the country

The poor can't support the economy, the white collar middle class wouldn't exist w/o the blue collar. The rich there aren't enough of them to sustain. We need to make shit and sell it. To ourselves first and then to the rest of the world

[dflprincess]

43. The current bill is not a HCR bill

and we need to stop calling it that - we're just playing into the scam.

It's an insurance bill and, mainly, an insurance company protection act.

[PufPuf23]

45. I agree with you

HCR seems to be the common acronym for PHIER(PHIER being private health care insurance entitlement reform) rather than useful and available health care for people that is more the norm in civilized societies.

[dschis]

49. Agreed it's obvious

Let him say veto and see what happens

[cark]

46. It Isn't the GOP

The democratic party is trying to seek common ground with itself. They already know they won't get any GOP support.

[dschis]

51. The insurance company types are pretty smart

If the town halls don't work, then water it down, threaten filibusters, use parliamentary maneuvers. But that still didn't kill it, well let's get one of lackeys introduce an odious amendment that gets the rest of the Dems in a tizzy, let's say an abortion amendment. That oughtta split them up, make them argue amongst themselves.

I really think there are going to be more like it. I've called the jailing and torture of Wall Street types, now I add the Health Care Industry Types (all of them) they obviously can't be trusted

[MilesColtrane]

55. In case you hadn't noticed, the House isn't sending what it passed straight to Obama to sign.

You know the old saying about watching laws and sausage being made, right?

[Lilith Velkor]

56. Fuckin' A.

:headbang:

[chimpymustgo]

57. I really cannot believe this bullshit. Or the cavalier attiude (and unrecs) by assholes here.
