GOP proving they HATE democracy and the rule of law....

[Bugsy McGurk]

Lose the legislative battle over health care? No problem...vote to repeal it anyway.

Lose the SCOTUS case over that law? No problem - vote to repeal it anyway.

Roe v. Wade says women have a constitutional right to choose to terminate their pregnancy? No problem - pass laws to close abortion clinics.

Lose the 2008 prez election? No problem - announce from Day 1 that you will oppose anything and everything the winner proposes, even if the GOP initially proposed it.

People have a fundamental constitutional right to vote? No problem - pass as many laws as possible designed to prevent likely Dem voters from voting.

Notice a pattern here?

Pugs HATE democracy. They HATE the rule of law. If they do not prevail in elections or the courts, they simply search for ways to circumvent such pesky elements of a democratic society.

Very un-American.

Not to mention the travesty of the 2000 Presidential election....

If we let them get away with it, they'll turn America into a banana republic. They've come pretty close, already.

If the majority of people objected to PPACA mandate, why did Congress pass it. Isn't that anti-democratic?

The right wing spent 250 million dollars spreading disinformation about the plan, that is why a majority opposed it, they were lied to by Republicans. Check all the polls on the separate parts of the plan, those are approved by large majorities. It is far past time that the richest country on earth have universal health care like the rest of the industrialized world and get out of being ranked 37th in health care.

It doesn't matter WHY the majority of people oppose it from the standpoint of democracy. If the majority oppose it, it is antidemocratic to serve with something they don't desire. The separate parts of the plan can't be disjoined from its entirety. Americans love the part that forces insurers to cover pre-existing conditions. They hate the part that pays for it -- the mandate. The two are indivisible, and when taken together, most Americans oppose the law.

1. Wanna talk about thuggery to pass a bill? How about holding a vote. When you lose you hold the vote open for a few hours, track down every republican who voted against it and threaten them or bribe them to get them to change their vote. That is what the republicans did to pass Bush's medicare drug bill. They offered a $100,000 donation to the son of one congressman for the son's campaign for congress. Too bad republicans controlled the ethics committee at the time.

2. What vote are you talking about? The debate in congress had been going on for over a year. The House bill had been passed a couple of months before the Senate vote was held.

On December 23, the Senate voted 60–39 to end debate on the bill, eliminating the possibility of a filibuster by opponents. The bill then passed by a vote of 60–39 on December 24, 2009, with all Democrats and two Independents voting for, all but one Republican voting against and one senator (Jim Bunning, R-Ky.) not voting.

Look up the meaning of the word treason.....quit making yourself look silly.

Uhhhhhhhhhh...............far be it from ME to be the one to piss on your little loony-libby circle jerk here buggy, but it is apparent from what YOU posted here that the GOP obviously LOVES "democracy and the rule of law", and it is you Democrats and libs who hate them.

You see, everthing that you are whimpering about here, EVERYTHING, is afforded to those who disagree with them BECAUSE OF our "democracy and the rule of law", skippy.



Now you may not like that, you may not agree with it, you may oppose it, whatever gets you all gushy matters not, ALL that matters is that you stop trying to act as if others are guilty of something that YOU are doing right here.

YOU are the one who is crying because someone else is doing as they have the right to do based upon our "democracy and the rule of law". And even worse than just doing that, you are also trying to claim others are doing it, not you.



You should really stop. Go regroup. Think of a better way to try to support your feelings that once something is forced on others they should have to just accept it forever, 'K, junior?
