Hr 3962 passes!

[Chris]

That's your fucked up opinion.....now lets look at the facts......

Medicare...broke...rife with 500 billion dollars in fraudulent claims.
Social Security...broke....2017..benefits paid exceed revenues collected...53 trillion in the hole by 2040..
Democrats have created a perpetual state of poverty for all minorities in America....

You and what you represent are all thats bad for America....history has proven that time and time again.

Medicare and Social Security are not broke, and a minority is now president of the United States thanks to the progessives who fought for civil rights.

The "perpetual state of poverty" was largely a function of racism, which the Republican Party perpetuates.

You need to check your facts before engaging your brain and mouth. What's the balance in the SSA's bank account? What's the balance in Medicare's bank account?

You need to check your facts.

Medicare and Social Security are still funded and will be forever.

oh yeah...it's all the Republican's fault...

You're a ******* moron.

No, it isn't.

But they are definitely standing in the way this time.

They are hurting America for political gain.

yeah...they will be funded with tax increases that will eventually break the backs of working Americans. How old are you? Right now YOU, being young and stupid, have no idea that you might get 50% of the benefits your parents get.

Like I said...don't bring a knife to a gunfight loser.

What's hurting America is the rampant use of entitlement programs to perpetuate poverty and laziness.

And yet, who did the party nominate for president in the first election after passage of the 1964 bill? Barry Goldwater, who not only voted against the bill, but also wrote a book (Conscience of a Conservative) were he rants about the bill being unconstitutional. Nixon wins the nomination in 1968 and of course is renominated 1972. Ford is the incumbent, by faces a primary challenge from an ardent segregationist in 1976 who win the nomination in 1980.

"Nixon was the most dishonest individual I have ever met in my life. He lied to his wife, his family, his friends, his colleagues in the Congress, lifetime members of his own political party, the American people and the world."
Barry Goldwater

"I think every good Christian ought to kick Falwell right in the ass."
Barry Goldwater

"Equality, rightly understood as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences; wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism."
Barry Goldwater

"When you say "radical right" today, I think of these moneymaking ventures by fellows like Pat Robertson and others who are trying to take the Republican party and make a religious organization out of it. If that ever happens, kiss politics goodbye.: Barry GoldWater

"Everyone knows that gays have served honorably in the military since at least the time of Julius Caesar."[7] He also said, "You don't have to be straight to be in the military; you just have to be able to shoot straight." A few years before his death he went so far as to address the right wing, "Do not associate my name with anything you do. You are extremists, and you've hurt the Republican party much more than the Democrats have."
Barry Goldwater

In Fact Barry Goldwater was a STRONG supporter of both the 1957 and 1960 Civil Rights Act. His vote for the 1964 version unlike most today was done so on political ideological grounds, his belief was that two of the provisions of the Act overextended the power of the Federal Govt. Barry Goldwater was not a zealot motivated by special interests like the partys are today, rather he was of the old school that believed in limited Govt. and acted upon his beliefs. In fact to even suggest that Republicans are the solr owners of not supporting social issues is laughable when you look at the real voting record. I see little condemnation of Sen. Byrd who was a staunch opponent of Civil Rights as he should have been because of his KKK background. The point here is no party has complete ownership of an issue one way or the other and history has proven that.

 

[NYcarbineer]

And yet, at the time you guys howled that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was unconstitutional.

The conservatives are almost always on the wrong side of history.

They were against Medicare, Social Security, women's voting rights, blacks voting rights, and integration.

They are almost alway wrong about everything.

That's your fucked up opinion.....now lets look at the facts......

Medicare...broke...rife with 500 billion dollars in fraudulent claims.
Social Security...broke....2017..benefits paid exceed revenues collected...53 trillion in the hole by 2040..
Democrats have created a perpetual state of poverty for all minorities in America....

You and what you represent are all thats bad for America....history has proven that time and time again.

They've been projecting the date Medicare would go broke since its inception.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Navy, lets not play ignorance. We both know after Nixon that Southern Democrats and such became Republicans.

I will give you that the dixiecrats became Republicans After Nixon, however it still does not change the fact that that Republicans have a long history of support for Civil rights issues and it's only been in the last 40 years that people seem to be under the impression that Republicans have little if anything to do with Civil Rights and excuse their own party's involvement in it.

Why would Republicans of today be taking credit for things Republicans did 50 or 100 or more years ago?

Aaah ... but here's the problem, the date moves "back" ... not forward. While Phillipe got the wrong one (it's 2011 now) it has been consistently moving back since they started this prediction. In actuality, this is the reason the politicians have started wanting to "fix" health care to begin with, to appease the people, but now they are off on some really bad tangent that will likely ruin everyone.

 

[NYcarbineer]

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Pub.L. 88-352, 78 Stat. 241, July 2, 1964) was a landmark piece of legislation in the United States that outlawed racial segregation in schools, public places, and employment. Conceived to help African Americans, the bill was amended prior to passage to protect women, and explicitly included white people for the first time.
Civil Rights Act of 1964 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

...

Both fully within the scope of the constitution as written.

And yet, at the time you guys howled that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was unconstitutional.

At 9:51 on the morning of June 10, 1964, Senator Robert C. Byrd completed an address that he had begun 14 hours and 13 minutes earlier. The subject was the pending Civil Rights Act of 1964, a measure that occupied the Senate for 57 working days, including six Saturdays. A day earlier, Democratic Whip Hubert Humphrey, the bill's manager, concluded he had the 67 votes required at that time to end the debate.

Georgia Democrat Richard Russell offered the final arguments in opposition. Minority Leader Everett Dirksen, who had enlisted the Republican votes that made cloture a realistic option, spoke for the proponents with his customary eloquence. Noting that the day marked the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's nomination to a second term, the Illinois Republican proclaimed, in the words of Victor Hugo, "Stronger than all the armies is an idea whose time has come." He continued, "The time has come for equality of opportunity in sharing in government, in education, and in employment. It will not be stayed or denied. It is here!"

Because of Democratic opposition and amendment of The Civil Rights Act of 1957, it was largely ineffective in its enforcement and its scope..

Civil Rights Act of 1957 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


In the 26 major civil rights votes after 1933, a majority of Democrats opposed civil rights legislation in over 80 percent of the votes. By contrast, the Republican majority favored civil rights in over 96 percent of the votes.
[See http://www.congresslink.org/civil/essay.html and http://www.yale.edu/ynhti/curriculum/units/1982/3/82.03.04.x.html.]

Enough said in answer to the claim about republican opposition to the Civil Rights Act.

You need to look up the term 'CONSERVATIVE Coalition' as it applies to civil rights issues.

 

[NYcarbineer]

....with only 1 Republican vote..

Who was the Republican?

The next one to get fired.

Joseph Cao, Louisiana.

With any luck the teabaggers will primary him out and replace him with another Doug Hoffman doucheberry, and hand the seat over to the Democrats in the process.

You folks have gotten SO far off what the intent of this thread was, so in case any of you don't remember:

I already pointed out that politicians only care about making money for themselves.

Would be much the same as democrats denying things that democrats did 50 to 100 years ago would it not?

That's not true.

So ... who votes for what doesn't matter ... simply put, the fuckers in charge just want their own ... the thing people should be asking is that ... knowing that politicians are only in it for making themselves a profit ... why would you agree with anything they pass by large numbers?

[Fatality]

It hasn't gone through the Senate yet.
That means it isn't over.
Try and engage your brain before typing.

Astounding isn't it? And IT will be met with a Court challange due to the Bill's Contents making it a FELONY for NOT complying. Can a citizen be compelled to exercise commerce when they choose NOT to?

This is a question of Liberty.

YOUNG people should PAY particuliar attention to this one since they are usually the ones that opt OUT of Healhcare in their young lives.

Anything that is given can also be with held. It is astounding that some don't realize that as they squeal for the scraps from the government table.

they are gluttonous little piggies and squealing for slop is in their blood

Democrats sided with Bush on the wars ... and all his policies.
