Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Friday, January 08, 2010

The Democrats have gotten to the precipice to borrow President Obama's word of victory on health-care reform for one reason above all others: 60 votes.

Their supermajority in the Senate empowered them to muscle through a sprawling mess of a bill by partisan fiat. If the ball had bounced the other way in a close race or two (or if Arlen Specter had felt more loyalty to his party of decades), the Democrats wouldn't have gotten to 60. Once there, they were willing to resort to any expedient to stay at the magic number. After Ted Kennedy's death last summer, the Massachusetts legislature rushed to change state election law to allow for an interim replacement in advance of a special election, explicitly to keep the Democrats at 60.

Long shot but here's to hope and prayer...

I'll hit my knee's tonght before I hit the rack.

I'm sure a lot of knee time was spent praying for Kennedy to die, too.

Rtard Christianity. Now 100% Jesus-Free!!!!!

So let me try to understand.....Murphy asks Jesus to kill health care reform??? Does Jesus do things like that??? Would Jesus be more likely to listen to Murphy's prayers or those of some cancer patient who's insurance company rescinded their coverage??? If Murphy has that much pull with Jesus then certainly health insurance is unnecessary, just go right to Jesus with all your health care needs.

Jesus would never support a healthcare bill that pays for abortions

"Jesus would never support a healthcare bill that pays for abortions."

If Jesus listened to prayers there would be no need for abortions.

Jesus would never support a healthcare bill that pays for abortions.

O R'ly?

If Jesus had an opinion on abortion and he thought it important he woulda mentioned it.

Doncha think?

Instead of going on about something Jesus never discussed why not concentrate on the stuff he did actually *did* talk about like Loving thy neighbour, healing the sick, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, teaching the ignorant, improving the lot of the imprisoned and comforting the afflicted etc?

Making abortion legal was a difficult choice to make but it was based on some indisputable realities.

First, that making abortion illegal (like prohibiting alcohol or drugs) doesn't work. It only forces it underground and thus endangers women health while profiting criminals.

Second, that a woman's body belongs to herself not her family, not the state not the church.

Finally when life and death health decisions are made they are best made by that individual solely based on their own conscience and advice from their doctor.

Either that or you have reduced women to the status of societal brood mares imprisoned in their own bodies.

Be Well.

Why do Republicans hate women? and Jesus?

My --aren't you special??

I pray for the country all the time Danni--along with prayers for the troops and our leaders to make wise decisions.

And with the way things are looking--the ears are deaf on leadership wisdom...

This HC bill is a disaster and should be scrapped and start over.

It will cost trillions, won't insure people, tax the phuck out of everyone and cut services for seniors--just to start!

How is that good for the country??

It's not.

But you go on ahead Danni and use the Christian card like people use the race card.

You are so transparent. That would be opposite of Obama..

"I pray ... the ears are deaf "

Deaf?

They don't even exist.

It's up to you, and you ain't up to it, stupid.

Thanks Zat...

First, that making abortion illegal (like prohibiting alcohol or drugs) doesn't work. It only forces it underground and thus endangers women health while profiting criminals

When abortion was illegal they should have started executing women who got abortions. Any that were underage the gov't should have been sterilized and sent to the middle east to be comfort women
