... we are spending 8.3 million dollars per day in Iraq and have flown over 740 bombing runs since mid August.

But if someone gets help with their health insurance premium via a government subsidy then God forbid.

Since the filthy rich in this country are not contributing their fair share of the taxes that fund war, what do they care? It is only taxpayer money being spent on wars. Also, they seem to make money from wars and their relatives do not serve, so what's the beef????

7. The Court IS pro-business. I would be surprised if they ruled against the law.

These five right wing hypocrites are bought and sold for less, just like Thomas and his wife and her political right wing Pac, Scalia his junkets to Aspen and San Diego to meet the right wing Koch's, Kennedy was a favorite of the hypocrite Reagan and Roberts worked in Arizona to do what with voting rights
Yes they are and it in plain site, they would be the death panel

Now they get a 2nd round to take another big slice of it and perhaps gut it this time around. I really hate the felonious 5.

We can continue to spend $8.3M per day in Iraq for the next year...or give every citizen of the US a lump sum payment of $8.3M. Which'll it be folks?

without the calculated (not stupid) consent of the Dems, we wouldn't be in Iraq.

16. Exactly. It's not the whole Court. It's the 5 GOP despots.

Just like it's not Congress that is to blame for inaction, it's the GOP.
