The health care bill passed the House yesterday but several Democrats voted against it. They voted FOR the big insurance companies over the working people. The voted for the interest of big business over the interest of the working man and woman. It is easy to say "oh well we won so let's forget it and let bygones be bygones" but to me, that is not what we should be doing. What we should be doing to making our enemy list and making sure every one of these people face primary challenges next year by a REAL Democrat. And the one Republican who voted with us yesterday should be rewarded by either converting him to Democrat or by not challenging him in next year's general election with a Democrat. Reward your friends and punish your enemies!

what about Eminem? Should we punish or reward him? He's got some serious talent, but he's also quite the asshat at times. and how about those anenomes? I really like them, but they can sting you, which might make them an enemy..

Our enemy will be the fallout of such a poorly written health care bill. It has some good things and bad things. It will drive up prices as the cost will be passed onto the consumer. I wonder how many jobs will be lost as businesses will dump employees or how many will dump their health plans and just pay a penalty.

It Is Time For WORKING People To Make Our EMEMIES List
That's a good idea.
My criteria are simple, if you voted for bailouts of any kind,stimulus, healthcare reform..you made my list.

umm, you're thinking SouthernBelle. Current procedures specifically prohibit that when talking about healthcare proposals. You need to turn on the TV to msnbc and watch it for 24 hours straight. Turn to cnn during all commercial breaks.

Do unemployed people get to make a list? You did say "working" people.

I actually tried to read this bill in the pdf version. At least one of those house versions. Anyone else confused? Scary when the average person cant understand what they will be forced to do. Too many angles not being discussed. Like what will a job loss do to your status. Cobra is a joke and the gov will only subsidize so much, not all of it. I would rather be without insurance than be forced to pay for what I can't afford. This plan does not control cost. Insurance will still be expensive, public or not.

I've thought about this some more and I now think we should set up camps for these people. We'll use them to educate the people through forced labor. That will definitely teach them the errors of their current thought processes. While we're at it, we should also cut off all outside information from them and force feed them everything they need to know. Two years of this should definitely set them on the right path. We'll also invite them to join the party when their training is complete. If they decline the invite we'll call them dissidents and run them over with tanks. That'll teach the rotten bastids..
