Maybe you could put a little skin on them bones as far as exactly what you propose we do. I see a perilous undertaking with a very small pay off.

And you mean what? Do you think the name represents the function of the repeal? Why not just a name that says Let’s repeal the “odious” health care law that we hate? Their hatred certainly goes beyond jobs, IMHO

that can’t really be the title of the bill, can it? holy moly.

senseless belligerence

I like that. Should be used in any sentence that contains the words Republican or Tea Party.

I can’t wait to see how the GOP solves the job situation.

Yep. Can you imagine being the clerk that has to type that, or the CBO person who has to score it?

Oy.

But see, David, it’s not ‘smart’. It’s kabuki cnn crossfire chuck todd bullshit. Pengree scores a little point on the reps, the reps squeal “WAH! The left is politicizing!” and score a little point. Then it’s forgotten until somebody wants to make a point on the interwebs.

None of this addresses the flaws in the health insurance corp and doctor bloodsuckers act, which none of them want to do anyway.

So, not smart, just cheap.

BTW, here is an image of the leftist, hippie, Marxist assassin NOT taken in high school. My. What a long-haired hippie freak.

Eliminating the word “killing” from the title of a bill is a microscopic start.

Loathsome hate-mongers they are. The hate just drips from those righties.

Yeah, I don’t really recall a major piece of legislation with the phrase “job killing” in it. And the Republicans wonder why people hate them and use “bad words.” I can think of a few right now…good thing this bill will never go anywhere, even if it is passed. Pure theater…something the GOP is very good at doing.

Barbara Walters is A-OK with hate speech. Poor Sarah Palin. From HP:

“I’m feeling bad for Sarah Palin because I don’t think that’s what she should have said, and certainly crosshairs are very scary,” Walters said. “This is a deranged young man. This is a Timothy McVeigh. Whether this happened because there is violence – too much commentary, too much violence as you say we’ve talked about. Sometimes we do it here we get so angry.”

Walters added she hoped this might offer time for introspection in terms of political rhetoric, but told viewers that this wasn’t the time to place blame.

“Whether that speared him on or whether he is just a very sick person, we don’t know,” she continued. “We don’t know what his motives are and we can hope that all the vitriol calms down. But to blame Sarah Palin as some are doing I think is very unfair to her. She issued a statement offering her condolences and hasn’t said more. But I don’t think this is the time now to start finding – you should excuse me – other targets to blame.”

From the woman who stopped Loughner from reloading:
Brave Woman Who Grabbed Clip from Shooter Blames Right-Wing Media and Rhetoric … In Fox News Interview
In an interview on Fox, the brave woman who helped stop Loughner calls out right-wing media for creating an environment that encourages violent impulses.

Aside to Rep. Pingree: Introducing a bill to restore the Fairness Doctrine would do a lot more good than your empty symbolic gesture.

Hear, hear!!!!

Agreed! Besides, I thought the HCR bill ensured that big Pharma, Hospital, and Insurance kept on keeping on. How exactly is it a “job killer”?

Oops. Nevermind. I just remembered that Big Biz is required to pay some on that for employees. Until they change the laws.

Don’t get me wrong — I’m not suggesting that the name of that one piece of legislation somehow led to the horror of this weekend — but is it really necessary to put the word “killing” in the title of a major piece of legislation?

I think the word “killing” should stay in the title. The name of this one piece of legislation obviously didn’t lead to the horror of this weekend, but the irresponsibility of the one party and the mealy-mouthed bullshit of the other party absolutely did contribute to the horror of this weekend.

I think the word “killing” should stay in the title because the solution to our country’s failure of leadership isn’t to trim here and bandage there.

The solution is to let the assholes of both parties be exactly who and what they are.

The American people will either demand real change or they’ll get what they deserve.

Look at the shiny “job killing” object here while we rob you blind over there.

I agree 100%. My comment @ 17 was meant to convey the same point. You said it better!

Oh for heavens’ sake, it’s all just bullshit designed to influence idiots to think our government is doing something for us. I totally agree with Knoxville, the American people need to demand real change or they will get what they deserve. Bullshit, impoverishment, disenfrancisement and political correctness as a way of silencing truth.

I also like the phrase “inchoate anger”

But making empty symoblic gestures is so much easier…

Just like “empty rhetoric” should be used in any sentence that contains the word Democrat.

Loathsome hate mongers on the right, do you really think the left doesn’t do the same thing? Just listen to the hatemongers on MSNBC on any weekday night, Olberman or Maddow or the new guy, whatever his name is, they revile anyone who doesn’t agree with their fascist program. What did Olberman say when Scott Brown was elected, that he was a racist, fascist pig…or Rachael with her lovely description of Tea Bagging, educating us all about perverted gay sex acts, something I really didn’t need to know, and lowered my opinion of her. Really lefties need to get over themselves and realize that their hate rhetoric is just as bad. I’m a tea party person and I’m not a fascist or a racist or a nutjob, actually I’m a leftie who thinks our government has gone to the dogs due to both parties’ corruption and idiocy. Like many of my compatriots, I want to combat federal governnment excesses of power, taxation without representation, corruption and fascist foreign policy. I am perfectly in line with many leftie opinions, just not with the self-righteous attitudes and Obama ass licking.

Is eliminating all violent language from legislation a final solution or a nuclear option?

The more I think about this, the more I think that the Ds have no sense of embarrassment whatsoever. This is the most they can think of do after such a tragedy? This is their idea of responsible governance?

All rhetorical Qs, but this piece of junk has to represent a new low for Ds.

We’ve come a long way since Ford’s kinky Whip Inflation Now…

Gee, I missed the part where lefties targeted their opponents with guns.

reply to 24.

We didn’t think to call it ‘kinky’ at the time. Wish we had.

Teabagging is not a ‘gay sex act’.

perverted gay sex acts

If you think gay sex acts are perverted then you are not a left leaning person.

That’s MY representative, and I’m very proud of her! Also her boy friend donated a 6,000 square foot warehouse for my coop to use in Portland. The rest of the state may have gone mad in the election, but Portland remains a progressive bastion (and, not coincidently, the only place in Maine were the economy is growing)

It’s just a new trick wingers have learned from their masters’ talking points emails: to claim to be lefties in their comments. In payment for every time they do it, they get a doggie biscuit. But they have to jump for it.

reply to @30 & @ 29: Using a feather was kinky, using the whole chicken was perverted.

A 6,000′ warehouse and changing the name of a bill. Wow. I’m impressed by all the substance coming out of D.C.

How many of you knew it was the “job killing” bill til she pointed it out?

I did! I did!

Do you think there enough hours in the day, and not enough bigger problems to fill them, that this should be on our radar screens too?

No, eCahn, I don’t.

Mare – I don’t have a problem holdin’ your hand while we slow dance. But, if I have to like butt sex talk to be a librul, I’m going to have to think about some stuff. Tolerating is one thing. I’m just asking myself a whole lotta guestions, here.

But, on further thought, it occurs to me that a political party that labels a health care (yeah, right) repeal bill with such verbiage is pretty fucked up.

Hey! No voting twice!

You imagined men, huh? Tsk.

LOL!

Not in your dreams, sister. Ewww. Pretend you don’t know what I actually think or feel. Kelly. Please.

this thread has been corrupted – like a disk drive…

I got their fuckin’ doggie biscuit.

I just laughed. Take it up with the original commenter.

laugh away, funny boy. what ever. I’m glad to give you a smile.

Yea there’s always bigger fish to fry and I don’t want the insurance company executive guaranteed golden parachute bill anymore than anyone else.

I’ve said a couple of times in FDL comments that the rhetoric of hate and fear being fostered in the public, against the left, implicit in the name of this bill, is something that has been largely overlooked and essentially condoned as truth by the MSM by not addressing it for what it is.

However she’s asking the R’s to change their language here, asking them to take responsibility for their abusive lying language. They’ll never do it, so why not publicly magnify the R’s hypocrisy?

I’ve seen a seed sprout and crack the concrete.

Just got back from a clown hall meeting with my esteemed Diebold Representative who swore to the tee-vee to do a good job, at the Capitol Visitor shake down center. The talking points hurt my head. He’s all about competition driving down prices and touting the fact that “he ” convinced 7 county hospitals to open free clinics and along with the requirement of emergency rooms to stabilize you , viola a health care system. He also claimed we have the number one health care system “ in the world. He’s right in terms of profit in a for profit system

After he held the single payer system as only what England has, for comparison, someone brought up the German system with 500 plans on a Profitless basis the Diebold dimwit said he never heard of such a thing though he’s busy writing a new health care bill as we speak. He couldn’t answer weather he was personally writing the bill or ” Co-signing” it.

It’s only going to get worse.

I have been referring to the GOP as the Job Killing Republican Party since they introduced that bill. It’s not hyperbole if it’s true, is it?

tea baggers is what you called your selfs before you knew what it meant i’m guessing, as for being called racist i’ve seen the tea baggers signs at rallies sir or miss, and as they say you lie down with dog, ya come up with flees, and fyi msnbc is wonderful a breath of fresh air in a world of lies
