1. Well said.

Your health care isn't the Republicans' problem. They offered tax cuts for the rich. What more do you want? :sarcasm:

3. the quotes were telling - and damning when seen in context

can someone explain the football analogy in terms of lobbing it through a window?
( sorry I'm having to ask in the first place )

5. The idea is that Republicans are playing games with health care...

...and may cause damage in the process (damage by breaking a window analogous to damage to people who need better health care.)

4. we need health care!

the rich politicians are just trying to protect their OWN money.

7. Transcript for dial- up.

"If we're able to stop Obama on healthcare this will be his waterloo." Sen. Jim DeMint R-Sc

"We're committed to using every means of slowing this process down!" Rep Mike Pence.

"Go for the Kill. " Bill Kristol.

While the President is trying to make healthcare affordable, the Republicans are doing nothing, actually worse than nothing. They're turning it into a political football...*football lands through window*

Healthcare costs are spiraling tell congress this isn't a game... Waiting hurts all of us.
