For as long as the political fight took over the past year, the abbreviated review process on the health care legislation currently pending on President Obama’s desk is unquestionably going to result in some surprises — as happens with any piece of mashed-up legislation — both for the congressmen who voted for it and for the American people.

"...and the media is not running with it."

...and they never will, as long as Dems are in power. That will never change.

[dragonblustar]

Is this saying Congress is exempt from additional taxes to pay for Health care. If so then why is it good for us and not good enough for them.

Is this legal?

[Indy Pendance]

I wouldn’t expect any less. Hail to our leaders.

[Uncle Chip]

I’ll bet that the overwhelming majority of those that favor Obamacare for the rest of us are exempt from it themselves — which tells us all we want to know about it.

[HiTech RedNeck]

awww sit down and shut up like the good little peon you are! can’t have anybody getting uppity to the magic negro!

[Windcatcher]

That needs to be the grounds of an Amendment XIV suit. We aren’t getting equal protection before the law.

[VoiceOfBruck]

That is just sickening. They’re not only dispensing with any pretense of objectivity, they’re rubbing our noses in it.

I was at a class last week wherein one of the guest speakers was a reporter from congressional quarterly. He bemoaned the fact that conventional media is dying and he might not have a job by age 50. I did my best to suppress hysterical laughter.

The more that comes out about this, the uglier it’s going to look.

[Shqipo]

Sweet! Is that Nancy or Stupak under all that gunk?

[Orange1998]

Heck it takes time to read the 2,700 page bill.

[Michael Barnes]

It keeps getting better...Typical of liberals, telling everyone else what to do and not abiding.

[b4its2late]

LOL, that it does..

[hal ogen]

Man...........this just further feeds my unfortunate cynicism. What a bunch of arrogant losers.

[Does so]

The new "BS":

What Pelosi!

re: that picture, and other gloating we’ve been seeing and hearing.

The mouth of the Lord has spoken: “Pride cometh before a fall.”

NOW that something concrete has been passed and is no longer morphing by the day, folk can get down to the business of constructive analysis and pick the damned thing apart. It's a slapped together piece of junk with weaknesses all over the place. A lot of bogeys are waiting to be found in that thing.

 

 

[Madame Dufarge]

I like it when they get insufferaby smug, they’re easier to blindside.

[Ladysmith]

Wear that badge of “NO!” proudly - in the case of the Republicans, it means fighting tyranny and protecting our God-given freedoms.

[Vaquero]

Elitist Scum!

The focus on the weekend’s alleged racial and gay-bashing verbal attacks by opponents of the Democrats’ plan should be a caution to Republican strategists trying to figure out how to manage the media this year.

Translation: We in the MSM will spin the story any way we like.
