  • Not everyone agrees on a public option, but it should be there. A public option the people can buy in to at cost, to have basic medical services. I support a public option; I think everyone is entitled to medical coverage and no one should ever go bankrupt over medical coverage, or how they’re going to care for a loved one based on what’s in their wallet. I can’t believe there are people out there who are fighting to keep health care from other people; putting a price on their lives basically. Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-CA), co-chair of the progressive...

  • The more I see crap like this, the more I’d like to vomit day glow on the steps of the local church and then have the IRS crawl up their ass. I understand that everyone has religion; they believe whatever they want to believe, but there are some hypocritical bastards out there who are just out there to sell a product; to get people to buy in to this faith, healing and unlimited love crap, just to get peoples money. Why not it’s tax free?! Suck on that Scientology. And then you’ve these nut cases that run around, praising the...

  • This kinda crap never gets old… it’s just incredible.

The lawsuit alleges that the company spent 259 percent of its income in the first quarter of 2009 on compensation.

  • Well it’s an about damn time. FOX, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and those other nasty bastards don’t have the balls to ask real questions, they just want to work the talking points; keep up their guard and speak their points. Why does a public official have any problems at all asking any question; they’re public officials- their shouldn’t be any reasons why they can’t answer any questions- at any given time. They’re elected and serve the public. So called ‘news’ media should be doing their job initially and not have to be accused of being a ‘journalist’ and oh dear...

The guy says it straight up, he has his data and charts and doesn’t try to creme his statements too much. And yet he’s bashed and rejected by his own party; he’s the rogue Republician. Is there such a thing? This is a person that obviously has standards and is not going to weave too much on his position. And sadly, Candy gets more than aggression, and compromise is only a means...
