There is no one named Rogers in the Senate. There are three members of the House named Rogers. Mike Rogers of Alabama, Mike Rogers of Michigan, and Hal Rogers of Kentucky. All are Republicans.

that Washington must act now after decades of failure.

This is Washington-speak. It is meaningless.

I don't know why Snowe is putting on such a show. She has been desperately signalling Obama she wants something/anything to vote for...her "budget neutral" stance is nonsense, every entitlement program is sold to the public as being able to finance itself. And the GOP is still the GOP. IMO Snowe wants something from this president.

So Mark Levin is now your intellectual hero because he called Snowe derogatory names? Is this what your rebuttal amounts to: name calling?

Commie Bastard...Sell Out...Socialist...Traitor...Spy...Prostitute...Scu m Bag...She went to the dark side..Marxist...Ni@@er Lover...Wealth Redistributer!!!!

How many names will she be called for simply voicing her viewpoint and being willing to work with the President?

People have made it plain that they will never assist this administration now matter how it may benefit the country, party affiliation is more important than loyalty to the nation!!

Your comparison to people needing health care to that of a wino is in itself very disturbing and indicative of the disconnect some people have to the realities of many working people in this country.

So a mother trying to get school physicals for her kids or people with diabetes or hypertension attempting to get treated and receive medication are trying to "feed an addiction"

If this is the best system in the world than yes it needs to be broken and put back together again.

Spare me the "socialist" crap thats for people too stupid to know what socialism really is, and listening to rich azzholes that know they stay rich by keeping you poor!
