Both men are a disgrace to working people in this area of the mountain south. Some one needs to crack open a can of
and pour it down their throats.While the bill that's been passed is not single payer national health insurance for all, which I strongly favor, it's a good first step. Let's see what the corporate owned US Senate does with it now. Will Harry 'Craven Coward' Reed carry the day or will he keep his nose buried in Olympia Snowe's ass and screw us all once again? We'll see, we'll see.

Yeah, Shuler sucks big time.
And yet, he's still a huge improvement over his predecessor, "Chainsaw" Charlie Taylor.
Maybe I am naive but I really don't understand what is so scary about national health insurance. I guess it's all I have ever known and I can't imagine it any other way, frankly.
I hate to disagree with you, Dr. Monkey, but I feel truly sold out today. I watched the whole "debate" last night. I watched male Republican Congressmen trying to shout down female Democratic Congresswomen with all their objections. I watched the Stupak Amendment pass. Rep. Stupak is a Democrat! He shouldn't be getting involved in my uterus. And with that amendment, I watched women's comprehensive healthcare take an enormous step backwards. Yes, abortion is still legal, but only in smallest sense. If women don't have access to abortion because doctors don't provide it or because they can't afford it, then it might as well be illegal. No other medical procedure was singled out. Not one. I didn't see anyone stand up screaming about Viagra or any other male-only medical procedures.
Comprehensive sex-ex is unwelcome in schools. No one wants to pay for birth control and certainly not abortion. And then there are people screaming about "welfare queens" and using that as an excuse to reduce welfare benefits. Who does this affect most? Women.
So I'm sorry I am not excited about this health care reform. I just feel like I was tossed under the bus.
I was quite disappointed to hear that our neighbor to the north, Rick Boucher, voted against it as well.
