Repubs are no longer the 'Party of No'

[240 is Back]

Very cool to see - the House just passed the healthcare bill and instead of dumping hundreds of documents and amendments onto it, to keep it from passing, as DeMent and others said they would do - it didn't happen.

They just sat back and let the bill pass.  No fight to the end, no waterloo.

It's good to see.  I think they'll also quietly let the "repeal the bill in the 2010 elections!" theme.  NBC hinting the repubs have stopped talk on it suddenly, all at once.

They're also listing the repubs who are now doing a few interviews, pointing out things in the bill they like and taking credit for some things in the bill.

I thought you felt this bill was shit?

240 does not feel anything; he changes his mind every 2 minutes.

Right Rob?

tony, where the F did you see me make any evaluation of this bill in this thread?  It's not a thread for that.  rather, to discuss what could be the parties beginning to work together - or at the very least, end some of that animosity.

I commented that it's good the Republicans have gone from "We vow to say no to everything" to actually working with the other party.

they are working together to fuck us over!!!!!!!!!

who cares if they work together if what they are working on is in your words "shit"?

[240 is Back]

there are some good thigns in the bill - repubs brought some of it in, and agree with some of the good pieces.

[tonymctones]

healthcare bill had too much garbage in it.

but hey lets hear it for working together to screw us over 

like I said 240 I didnt expect to hear you on our side  it took all of one day

[240 is Back]

"our side "



Americans?

I think I figured out what everyone's beef is with 240.

240 provides analysis of a situation, whereas everyone else acts as mere cheerleaders.
When he points out a situation that can be spun in anyone's favour or spun to make one side look bad, ...he's neither taking the position of a cheerleader nor of a detractor, ...simply political analyst. I think Tony and quite a few others are misinterpreting 240's analysis as cheerleading, when he's simply analyzing, or predicting where the chips are gonna fall.

...or maybe not?

Whenever the two parties agree on anything, we are all bound to get screwed royally.

240 has no idea what he's talking about on anything. He makes wildass predictions and has been an Obama cheerleader and bandwagon jumper since the election.

jag sometimes a duck is simply a duck...I would say youre correct if he spun it both ways but he doesnt...If he started as many lib bashing threads or posts as he did rep ones but we all know thats not the case. 240 does ill give you like to debate but more often than not he just ends up looking like a hypocritical jack ass...

here is another idea perhaps the fact that the majority of ppl feel the way I do about him and the fact you dont means youre his cheerleader?  just food for thought

Where are you getting that republicans are not fighting this anymore?Stop watching MSNBC you lib.They are going to use this bill to blugeon the democrats with in Nov.Its the democrats running from the bill ,making up stories about getting threats to take the pressure off voting for this pile of shit.

I got $5 that says its the DEMS, not the repubs, that are bringin up this bill in novemeber.

The senior citizens will have their prescription refund checks in hand right around election time.  how convenient, right? 

paul Ryan told greta last night he was going to work to repeal it - even she said it was an extreme long shot and not all that realistic.  His assurance "we'll keep fighting the good fight" or whatever was more of a concession speech.

Repubs are really going to tell people that they want to let insurance companies start cancelling people for pre-existing conditions?  Yeah, right.  This fight is over.  Save this thread and we'll see in October, which party is bringing up healthcare.

Checked the polls lately.OBAMA hasnt convinced the American people to like the bill.Sorry,the polls are the same from Rasmussen to CNN no one like the bill.Republicans are goint to attack the bill,then they will go after the failed stimulus which has created zro jobs,then illegal imigration which is next up on the agenda,then the fiulthy government taking over the student loan program,then the debt,then the takeover of GM  to pay the unions off.Gas will be over 3.50 by then.The dems are going to take a major league as whipping.

By the way,I doubt there are two million Americans who think its a great idea to have free loading kids on the parents health insurance.NOT ONE American will see ONE benefit by Nov.In fact  there wont be more Americans insured by Nov.

Polls?  Obama's at 50% and the approval on the bill improves on a daily basis.  Yes, 80% of people were against it last week.  This week? only 55% of rasmussen responders wanted to repeal it. 

If obama dropped 25 points in a poll in a week you'd be wacking off in a sock.  A quarter of the population seems to have just jumped on the winning bandwagon and you can't admit it?

(we're not discussing the merits of the bill, dude, this is a thread for the political ramifications - learn to separate the two and stop acting so emotional)

Maybe they're committed to letting people find out the hard way.

55% of the people want it repealed?Can you name another piece of legislation in recent memory that 55% wanted it repealed?Please name one.Yeah,the democrats will run on that.Ha,ha,ha.

80 to 55 in a week.... and you're celebrating?  um
