What happened you loudmouth coward? Where did you run off to? Are you afraid I'm gonna shove us much crow down your throat as I can for the NEXT FOUR YEARS?
Well guess what?
I AM .. over and over again - every chance I get!
I thought you "couldn't wait to vote"? Isn't that what you ended so many of your posts with? It doesn't look like it helped much now did it?
Romney = GONE!
And that's just the beginning. You republicans and tea party idiots got trashed all over the nation.
Only 4 of the 16 Senate candidates endorsed by the Tea Party Express won yesterday. That's 25% for mathematically-challenged repukes like yourself. That's even lower than Dubya's approval rating as he was losing office!
Here .. let's review the carnage while it's still nice and painfully fresh for you shall we?
Jessie Jr = RE-ELECTED!
Joe Walsh = GONE!
LMAO ... Isn't that wonderful? Who will TOUGH GUY Walsh shout at now that he wont have any constituents to shout down? His ex-wife? His mistress?
But wait ... it gets BETTER ... repukes have been shown the door all over the country!
Allen West = GONE!
Todd Akin = GONE!
Richard Mourdock = GONE!
Former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson = GONE!
Scott Brown = GONE!
Oh ... and Sherrod Brown = re-elected and Alan Grayson = re-hired!
How did that policy of obstruction and zero-compromise work out for you guys again? How's that making Obama a one-term president your number 1 priority looking to you now?
I hear there's some kind of a nasty civil war going on now on the Repuke side of the fence too. Could you elaborate on that?
Tell me ... what happened to those "skewed" polls? I thought Romney was "surging"?
And I hear Dick Morris was on Hannity and he said there was a "zilch, zone, zip nada," chance of Obama getting reelected?
Did Fox news LIE TO YOU AGAIN?
Any answers for us? Any at all?
Since you guys had so much to say the past few months ... how about you "man up" and answer!
Can you tell I'm just lovin' this?
YOU GOTTA KNOW I AM ...
And I'll continue to rub your face in this for THE NEXT FOUR YEARS.
Cue the tears repukes! I think I'm gonna put on Who's Cryin' Now by Journey and continue laughing.

You go man!^ I'm really liking this poster.^
Hey Buck wheat! Where are you? Here kitty....kitty ....kitty. I can't find that kitty anywhere.

[Mitch McConnell]

Gather eveyone for the secret meeting. Our number one goal for America is to ensure that Obama is not a third term president. Let the obstruction begin.

McConnell in a half shell...TURTLE POWER!!!

Larger, more intrusive government is not the answer folks. Obama and the current democrat leadership are creating a society where people are becoming more dependent on the government for their necessities in life. More government employees does not increase tax revenue, it creates more debt. Private sector jobs are the answer. That means some people become wealthier than others and that is just a fact of life. We need to kick the lobbyists out, end tax subsidies for all private industry, stop the bailouts of banks, financial institutions and other forms of industry. End NAFTA and CAFTA and engage in truly fair trade with other nations. That would spur economic growth and provide more jobs. But if you LOVE the nanny state, why would you want to work? Just keep living in public housing, use your medicaid for healthcare and get groceries on the state as well.

What does Medicare reimbursement have to do with "your rights". Where is Medicare listed in the Bill of Rights you moron? You have no idea what your talking about. You want a flat tax and you think not getting it is an attack on your rights? You are afuckingidiot. This is proof. You got nothing. Quit spewing nonsense about your rights, you have no idea what you are talking about. Romney and the Republicans would gut Medicare and leave millions of senior citizens with nothing. If you truly are concerned about Medicare you should be glad Obama won. The Affordable Care Act will help hospitals because everybody will have insurance and hospitals will receive payment where now they are carrying all the uninsured on their books waiting for payment. Just STFU about Obama taking your rights. shitforbrains.

1. I never once mentioned Obamas name. 2. I never mentioned Medicare. My comments were related to Medicaid. Once Obamacare is really implemented Medicaid will be the first plan affected and it already has been. States are making changes to Medicaid in preparation for Obamacare. Those changes will mean fewer benefits, fewer doctors to choose from, longer waits and long lines at ERs. 3. I never mentioned 'rights'. My point was that in accepting the government hand outs you will exchange some of your liberties and freedoms for it. As for rights though, I have rights in the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. Against these there is NO law. DON'T TREAD ON ME!

Yes, I'd rather work and earn my keep, be a productive member of society who pays taxes and expects those who can to do the same. I don't want to be a sponge/parasite who just sucks at the teat of the government. How's that for bitter, old and angry? And when my kind do die out, this country will be but a shell of what it once was.

So let me get this straight. You are against government "freebies" but worried about low reimbursement rates to doctors for Medicaid? You want medicaid recipients to be able to choose any doctor or treatment when I can't do that with my expensive private health insurance? You're all over the place here. You can't be against government handouts and wanting to expand Medicaid at the same time. You're one of those keep government out of my Medicare/Medicaid morons aint ya?

First off I am Libertarian. I voted for Gary Johnson. Since I work in healthcare lets talk about changes that have already been made. With states going bankrupt (like here in Illinois) your democrat leaders here passed legislation earlier this year that is squeezing medicaid. Their legislation is reducing negotiated prices for services so that doctors and hospitals receive less for services rendered. Additionally the state is slow to pay. As a result more doctors are refusing medicaid patients. So that means the ones that do accept medicaid are seeing way too many patients and its hard to get in to see them. Benefits have been reduced as well, even for senior citizens. See how your freedom of choice is affected? Fewer doctors and greater delays in seeing them. That's why you wait so long at the ER as well. Because those on medicaid use the ER as their physicians office. BTW. Would you be suggesting that business people who assume all the risk in owning and operating a business not be allowed to enjoy the benefits of being succesful? We need to remove subsidies from these corporations and even the playing field. We need tax codes that are fair, like a flat tax. But the more you receive from the government, the fewer your choices will be. That's not freedom, that's socialism.

Who do I support?
I'd really like to see the chambers filled with dogs, about like that famous painting of the canines sitting around playing poker that always makes me smile.
I'd like to nominate a good working dawg Border Collie. Distinctly black and white (most of 'em, that is) so no one can scream "racist".
And a GOOD Border Collie, NO KIDDING, learns to KNOW HIS RIGHT FROM HIS LEFT better than MOST PEOPLE.
I'll go shaddup now.

I am for those in need receiving help. But it can't be a blank check right? Legislators in Illinois did not work with doctors in negotiating new reimbursement rates. So there could have been more doctors providing care for medicaid recipients if some effort had been made. But being the Obama democrats that they are here, they do whatever they want and then act shocked when people are upset with their actions. I'm not for expanding medicaid, I'm for eliminating waste. Too many chiefs and not enough indians as far as I'm concerned. Its really simple, don't spend more than you take in.

So tell us what should be done. You want it both ways. You want doctors to get more money and welfare recipients to receive more services. It you're against welfare and socialism. What a freakin moron.

And you'd rather do this while worshiping at the altar of Queen Hypocrite Ayn Rand who collected both Social Security AND Medicare benefits late in life.

I'll ask again ... why didn't Ayn Rand pay her medical expenses from the sweat of her brow and the proceeds from her labor instead of becoming a hypocritical "parasite"?

This is your second chance to not answer my question or spin like a top .. you know ... ANYTHING but answer that question there.

I don't know who Ayn Rand is. Don't have time to look it up right now either. Social Security and Medicare are NOT entitlements. People are taxed and their funds are designated there. The government decided to use SS and Mcare as charity which in turn is bankrupting those funds. Again it goes back to spending more than you take in. Funds for helping the handicapped, the orphan, etc. should not have come from those funds. That should have been funded separately but thats all water under the bridge. Bottom line is people want to reap the benefits of what they sowed. They paid by way of taxes into a system that was supposed to be there for them when they retired. Now you want to take all the money they paid in and give it to others who aren't paying anything in. How long will that last? Not long.

Wow! You can't read can you? And you call me the moron. Obviously what I was saying is that the government and the medical community should be working together to provide efficient, cost effective healthcare that works for the patient, medical providers and government funding. What a freakin moron!

[Veritas]

My last post. I am shocked at the number of people who seem to think that we should just give things away without consideration of cost. I know there are a lot of people in need out there. I've been one of those people. But personal accountability and responsibility must be expected from those who are able. We are going down the path of creating a society that is dependent on its government for its necessities in life. Should we be charitable? Yes. Should we be helpful? Of course. But bigger, more intrusive government is not the answer.

LMAO! You can't make this stuff up gang!!!

You're a typical uneducated LIEbertarian moron who is impressed by patriotic buzzwords you probably can't define that were championed by other hypocritical LIEbertarian morons you admit you don't even know.

And you're hereby dismissed from any further relevancy on my screen.

I suggest others here follow my lead on this one.

He parrots what he hears on Faux Gnus and doesn't know what he is even saying. He just knows black people mostly vote Democrat so he hates Democrats. For a guy that hates socialism he sure is worried about Medicaid. He's a Teabagger and ashamed to admit it so he calls himself a Libertarian. He probably works for American Coal and is spoon fed this stuff. Murray Energy tries to brainwash their workers with this tripe. Like they say, you can't fix stupid.
