...therefore, the Repubs attempt to prevent American progress through shameless propaganda. Disgusting, at least to us Patriots.

Sarge, you mean you don't get military retired pay and benefits, including health care?

Couldn't agree more, SushiSake 3.

SushiSake3 - I agree that the conservatives' "me first" attitude shows their lack of true Christian values, but what really offends me is the attitude of those like sailwind who hide behind their military service to "justify" denying others benefits that all good Americans deserve.
Service is just that - service, both to one's country and its people. It's one of the reasons the USAF includes "Service Before Self" in its core values.

sailwind -
Sacrifice? Boo hoo hoo! I make that same sacrifice each day, hoping to see America improve through things like this very bill; you seem to have made it only to get retired pay and benefits. Sheesh!
I do agree on one thing: at least I have lifetime health care. Hopefully, with the passage of this bill, all Americans will as well. Helping my fellow Americans in this manner is one of the reasons I vote Democratic - I want to truly serve America (through vote and duty) rather than simply take your attitude of "me first".

SushiSake - Your 8:49 am post is beyond a doubt the best I've ever read on JT; no one has ever stated the facts about the Repubs so clearly and so inarguably correctly. Plus, anyone who can make Sarge say "I give up" (his 10:03 am "post") is a gentleman and a scholar in my book!
Hey Sarge, isn't your military retired pay from a "gov't-run program"?

Odogma - admitting defeat would make me a liar. Won't do it.

Molenir - I've read the US Constitution many times; President Obama's actions are not unconstitutional, otherwise I'd never support them. Implying that other posters lack knowledge and understanding of the US Constitution simply undermines your own weak position, but then, no one's surprised by that, now are they?

Odogma -
Ah yes, the last act of the desperate Republican who can't argue me down: cast doubt on my service and national origin. I laugh heartily when I see posts like yours, Odogma, especially when you try to tell me what I'm thinking. Rest assured I am an American, I do serve in the active USAF, and I'm proud of President Obama's actions to save this country from the neo-Nazi right wing.
Don't forget - I swore to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Molenir - Hot off the press, my friend:
http://www.pollster.com/polls/us/healthplan.php
Lemme help ya out a bit; see the black line, that's going upward? That represents those in favor of the bill; the red, downgoing line represents those opposed. After that, there's a whole list of "favor/oppose", but ya know, gosh darn it, I just can't find ANY that say 75% opposed.
The Republicans are lying again.

We'll be telling our kids what the extinct Republican party used to be, then our kids will thank us for keeping them healthy and saving the country.

Hear hear, adaydream. Excellent posts from you throughout this thread.
I have to laugh when the desperate, lying Repubs "claim" that "75%" of the population are against health care reform. I, along with you and the Democratic majority of America, say pass this bill. Now.

Molenir - Just for your information, "LOL" is not a counter-argument; it's more usually a desperate defense mechanism to "hide" the fact that you can't argue me down. Observe:
Exactly. Refer to my earlier post.
Nope, no denial. And my friends represent the majority of Americans; look at the current, duly-elected President of the United States of America for proof.
I've seen just as many polls that show Americans are for health care reform. Besides, wasn't it those of your ilk who claimed that the only significant poll was the one in November 2008? Changing your tune yet again, I see.
This sentence refers to the GOP, not the Dems. Americans are too smart to let the party of Adolph Bush back in the White House. The party of "no" will indeed pay dearly in November 2010 - and especially in November 2012.
Corrections: Change "2" to "7", when America elects the next Democratic President of the United States of America; change "praying that" to "knows that"; change "If" to "When"; change "remotely electable" to "completely unelectable"; and change "Out" to "Outstanding".
Now THAT's accuracy. You're welcome.

Nope, your version of the "message" is simply what the Repub propagandists want you to believe. Pity so many of you fell for it hook, line, and sinker, but thankfully, there are more good Americans out there than there are Repubs.
Ontopically, I say, along with the majority of Americans, pass this health care reform bill. Now.

Sarge -
But (tragically), the Republicans are still part of the American government. This is the message the voters of Massachusetts sent to the GOP when they elected Brown: Stop whining about being so outnumbered in Washington, stop being childish, unpatriotic obstructionists, and START doing your jobs.
No one's buying the tired old "pity us poor Republicans" bullsh@t anymore. You'll find out in November.

For two reasons: One, the US has the best medical care in the world. Two, the Arab sheiks are rich; they can afford it. Too many Americans, however, can't afford it. Pass this bill. Now.

Thank you, Sarge. My point, of course, is that cutting down to even half a pack a day doesn't make a liar of someone who calls himself/herself a "former smoker"; referring to yourself in such a manner is a proven technique in helping smokers cut down to zero.
Moderator: Readers, enough of this. The topic is Obama, not any of you.

adaydream - Congrats on successfully quitting smoking. As for taking shots at Obama, consider the following:
This is to inform you that your message on JapanToday.com has been removed for the following reason:Off Topic "Bush is also a smoker; ask anyone who was at the American Embassy in Tokyo about seven years ago." --JapanToday.com Moderator Team
Apparently, it's just fine to bash Obama, but not bush, at least according to JT's wonderfully "unbiased" moderators.
