Americans are the ones laughing now. Just refer to my "nonsense" link for the proof.

That is NOT socialism; it's taxation, and it occurs in every democratic nation on Earth.
Do you consider contributing to Social Security "robbery" as well?

What did those jokers expect when they so provably lied about "75 percent" of Americans not wanting health care reform (http://blogs.ajc.com/jay-bookman-blog/2010/03/24/early-polls-give-obama-a-boost-in-health-care-debate/?cxntfid=blogsjaybookman_blog) and have done nothing productive for the very people they are supposed to be representing? They are only getting reactions to what they've failed to do. This is trouble they brought upon themselves.

I will never understand how spending billions of our tax dollars to "help" Iraq is considered by some to be patriotic, but spending that money on providing health care to Americans is "socialistic". I used to think it was just ignorance and gullibility on the part of those who buy such defeatable lies, but with these same people issuing death threats to fellow Americans, I have to call these right-wing loons simply evil.

Sushi - Ya think that's bad? Have you seen McCain's infantile response to the Health Care Victory?

But, I do see what you're saying, quite clearly in fact. And I agree with you - it's immoral, un-Christian, and un-American to be OK with financing wars but not health care for our own. Disgusting.
But let them stew. America will hand the Repubs their asses again this November; just give us a second to finish putting the pink gift wrap on them.

Tigermoth - I explained before how the heavy publicity surrounding this issue could only have made our Congresspersons hyper-aware of what their constituents wanted, so yes, America has spoken, and loudly.
Bush, on the other hand, started his second term with a certain amount of popularity; that popularity went straight down the toilet in a matter of months.
So, no, it doesn't work "only one way".

But USAFdude can, and did. It's the article that covered Congress' historic passage of this bill, showing the votes of Congresspersons consistent with the wishes of their constituents. This issue has been to heavily publicized for our Congresspersons to not have received massive amounts of feedback from their constituents; their votes reflect the will of the majority, like we do in a democracy.
It's the kind of hope and change MOST Americans were expecting when we vote for President Obama. Just imagine - a President who KEEPS his campaign promises! Haven't seen a Republican do that in my lifetime! Har!

Gee, wasn't it you Repubs who just swore on a stack of Bibles that Obama would cut military spending and that I'd end up on welfare?! ROTFLMAO!

Nope, we "all" would admit to no such thing. Our Congresspersons know very well what their constituents think of this bill; there's no way they couldn't, given the amount of press dedicated to the bill recently.
Those same representatives know full well that their careers depend largely on their vote for or against this bill, given the polarization in American society caused by the debate surrounding the bill. If these Congresspersons, in your words, "can and do frequently vote for legislation that we as individuals would never approve of", and did so relative to this bill, they might as well kiss their careers goodbye today. Hence, the very fact that on this particular bill more Congresspersons voted "aye" instead of "nay" indicates that they upheld the wishes of the majority of their constituents, especially in view of the sensitivity of this issue. I agree with you that sometimes "we vote on party lines or for the lesser of two evils in some circumstances, and saying that is a true representation is often just not so", however I don't feel that this is the case with this bill given the reasons I've outlined above.

Lostrune2 - I hear ya. The poor, shattered Repubs have don't nothing but bitch about how Obama "did nothing" his first year; now, that America's prayers have been answered by the passage of the Health Care Bill, the Repubs do what? Continue to bitch. I can't possibly imagine what it's like to be so completely anti-American.

No need to. America has spoken through its elected representatives. Refer to the title of this article. Goodbye.

Ronin, You're hilarious! Have you really never heard of people who live just above the poverty line and don't qualify for food stamps?
I must say, you're not informing me of anything useful, but ripping a new a**hole in your arguments is certainly making me happier. Keep 'em comin'!

Bull. Only RICH Canadians, European, and Middle Easterners come to America for quality health care; the rest can't even afford the plane ticket, much less health care bills on top.
It's about time Americans came first in the US.

Fighting for death? That's rich, coming from a guy who wants to deny underprivelged Americans health care. How hypocritcal - you want to force parents to carry their unborn children to term, then turn your backs to them once they're born.
Shame on you.
