It was a compromise. Both parties know we'll take it. All of the flaws will be blamed on the other party. The sheep will bahhh bahh all f.ucking day and night on the internet and on the boob tube while the ones who voted yes will buy boats, cars, strippers, blow other dudes in bathroom stalls...business as usual.
Like I said earlier we deserve it.

well coach, there are actually parts of your rant that I agree with also. As I said in an earlier post, I voted for Obama with full knowledge of the fact that he was a middle of the road politician...far to the right of my beliefs. Unfortunately you dilute good points with paranoid nonsense about 9/11, the middle east and Africa, and Obama's birthright. The Health Care Bill, while far from perfect, is something that I support as "better than nothing". When I was young, I was a member of SDS and believed much as you do that politicians were a bunch of phonies and that change could only come from revolution...age and experience has taught me that change in a society as large and multi-cultural as the US can only come slowly with time. It's often painful to watch the circus but I take solice in the fact that things are slowly getting better. When I was a boy, black folks were seen as inferior and "separate but (un)equal" was the rule, gays were seen as diseased and mentally ill and even Catholics and Jews were seen as unAmerican. While I admit those mindsets have not completely disappeared, society has made great strides in understanding that folks are allowed to be different while not being evil. Do we live in a perfect society? Of course not! Should we believe everything we are fed in the press and by the rich and powerful? Hardly! But when one gets too angry and radical, there is great danger in throwing the baby out with the bath water. Change will come...in it's own time!
