The vote was close, 220-215 meaning that together with the idiot Republicans
there are idiot Democrats.
I consider the bill lacks the perfection of developing the
coverage the French have.
Donna and I speak as witnesses to the excellence of the system in France.
I, especially, have benefited from it more than any person I know.

Not idiots at all but realists concerned with their own job security
From the New York Times today:
"..An overwhelming majority of the Democratic lawmakers who opposed
the bill represent districts that were won by Senator John McCain,
Republican of Arizona, in the 2008 presidential election, and a third
of them were freshmen. Nearly all of the fourteen freshmen Democrats
who voted “no” represent districts that were previously Republican and
are considered vulnerable in 2010...."
I lived under and benefitted from the Norwegian system, which I believe is
also
a very fine one.
That the American government cannot seem to make anything function which is
worthwhile to the people doesnt discredit the value and viability of such a
system.

I suppose that our NHS isn't as good as the French
and Norwegian health care systems but it's just
super compared with the American version which
is one of the reasons Bill won't go home.

And exactly why is what 'Bill' thinks so fucking important? You really do
spend an inordinate amount of time obsessing over worthless piles of shit.
If it's not Nazi Spastic Noles who fascinates you, it's Brainless Bonde or
Shithead O'Donovan.
Get a fucking life, you pathetic airhead.

What I find amazing is how conservatives say that government
can't do anything right and yet they have so much
faith in the armed forces, which all too often does things
wrong. The term SNAFU will go down in history as an
expression which especially includes the US armed forces.
The nation goes on manufacturing high tech military toys
without a peep of complaint except by my ilk.

He is an object of our disrespect and serves a definite
psychological need in that respect.
