I have one big problem with this mess. How can something this big be voted into law when NOBODY has even read the whole thing? The IRS is going to be the enforcement arm of this crap? The middle class ..

This is a great first step toward true healthcare reform. The teabaggers who were in the halls of Congress calling Black congressmen who favored it "niggers" and Barney Frank "faggot" are the true bas ..

It's a start. Not an ending. It's not a "perfect" health care bill ... no more than the original Constitution was "perfect." It will be changed. It will be improved. But it does this: it finally remov ..

This is a non sequitur that has exactly nothing to do with what is being discussed here: "It is odd nowadays to out someone because he might be gay. These Democrats did not “out” Barney Frank when his ..
