Pelosi should organize a vote on a single payer system right now, while these morons are pandering to their deluded base.

So, the greatest threat to freedom, even bigger than this bill, happened during the Bush I presidebcy?

No doubt Mr. Boehner would have decried "the loss of freedom" to buy and sell your slaves, were he born in a different era.

I need the freedom to buy private health insurance about as much as I need a hole in the head.

And where are all the teabaggers in other countries that are suffering so mightily under the yoke of socialism?

What happened in 1990 in DC that was a threat to freedom? The Americans with Disabilities Act?

Since the Republicans and Tea Partiers are all about "freedom", let's call the GOP healthcare joke, errrrr, plan the "Freedom to Die Without Insurance Act".

Republicans are angry that anyone would contradict their right to permanent, one-party rule, where the rich and powerful tell us what we deserve, and we thank them. That's the kind of freedom Boner loves.

The fact that Democrats in Congress haven't figured out a way to do anything about evil Rove/Luntz/Atwater politics in 30 years suggests that they don't care. They just let the public stay stupid and misinformed and they go on collecting their campaign donations from the same gigantic corporations and hoping that incumbency protects their jobs until they can make that golden parachute agreement that keeps them rich until they die.

Yes, LFC, I think the "Freedom to Drop Dead Act" is a pretty good name for the Republican bill. And if any right-winger complains, throw Boner's rhetoric back in his face.

Republicans are assholes. Why do the Dems let them get away with it?

We see just how effective the Tea baggers were in NY-23 special election-enough said.

How much money has Boehner gotten from the insurance industry???
