These people are farking insane.

"OH GOOD! THE POOR ARE STILL FARKED!"

That video really needs a before and after.

HA-HA!!!

Is that her voice at the end with "tax? They can't make it a tax, congress has to make it a tax!", or someone else?

On one hand, an argument could be made for a knowledgeable legal scholar's fear that the court would continue its trend of interpreting the Commerce Clause so broadly it would put Octomom's vagina to shame.

On the other hand, something tells me the crazy shrieking lady isn't well-versed in constitutional law.

I used to think that republicans do the things they do because they're just charlatans pandering to a pack of deranged sociopaths (ie, "their base").

Now, with this display of sadistic glee over the idea of condemning millions of men, women, and children to an agonizing, uninsured death, I see that they're not just mere panderers. They really ARE a gang of vile monsters who delight in the suffering of Humanity and plot for it's destruction.
 
2012-06-29 01:47:34 PM
Nice show of humanity there, lady.
 
2012-06-29 01:56:44 PM
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the kind of person who represents the Republican party. Remember, vote Republican.

Been thinking about thinking about this. It's not that they don't care about the American people it's that American politics are no longer about governing the country. Politics has become basically a sporting event. The only thing that matters is if your side wins or loses. There are no repercussions. There is no thinking about "is this good or bad for the country". It's all wins and loses and if you win you get reelected and if you lose you might not. Plain and simple.

This is why you see the insane hyperbole take the place of rational discourse. Sad thing is that it's the citizens who lose no matter what.

Isn't this the same lady who called a disabled veteran a coward on the floor of the House?

Aarontology: Isn't this the same lady who called a disabled veteran a coward on the floor of the House?

And serves a constituency whose median household income is $46,813, so you know, things are just fine for them.

Shostie: That video really needs a before and after.

Yeah, I want the follow-up of her laying on the ground throwing a temper tantrum and crying like a little b*tch.
 
2012-06-29 02:57:56 PM
"YES! THANK GOD! THANK GOD THAT KIDS WILL ONCE AGAIN BE DENIED INSURANCE FOR PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS! THANK YOU, JESUS!"

She's a horrible, horrible human being.

Is that what it sounds like when a 60 year old conservative woman has an orgasm?
 
2012-06-29 03:07:59 PM
Shostie: That video really needs a before and after.

Yeah, I'm not getting nearly enough schadenfreude just from this. I think you can hear someone better informed start to argue with her about it. Is that her shouting "CONGRESS HAS TO MAKE IT A TAX!" No, I need to see her face.

Healthcare just ain't as sweet if poor people have it too. EVERYONE knows that.

Bullshiat. This is just a weasel-word word salad to say 'both sides are bad.' Bullshiat.

robsul82: Healthcare just ain't as sweet if poor people have it too. EVERYONE knows that.

When I can take my kids to the doctor and have them looked after, it warms my heart and makes me feel secure as a parent. When I know, my neighbour who was laid off can do the same thing for his children it sickens and disgusts me because it isn't fair.

Someone has just risen to the top of my list of people in the GOP that I absolutely hate.

The top of my list is pretty crowded.

if we ever needed any additional proof that she is unqualified to hold public office, we just got it.

I never would have expected a "conservative" to be so upset by the implementation of a Republican/Heritage Foundation plan.
 
2012-06-29 04:14:02 PM
Pretty sure she was defeated in the GOP primary by a Tea Bagger.
 
2012-06-29 04:16:20 PM
I wish I was poor enough to afford health care.
 
2012-06-29 04:34:23 PM
I just sent this to her official e-mail:

I would call Republicans horrible, despicable, loathsome, and wretched human beings but I'm too much a gentleman to besmirch the dignity of horrible, despicable, loathsome, and wretched human beings.
 
2012-06-29 04:39:24 PM
Why does she hate Romneycare so much?

PreMortem: Pretty sure she was defeated in the GOP primary by a Tea Bagger.

The question is: was she primaried by a teabag or teabagged in the primary?

Good to know she isn't extreme enough for Ohio Republicans.
 
2012-06-29 04:42:19 PM
And if it was Bush or Romney's in the exact same situation, she'd be acting the complete opposite. It's all politics and personal hate to these jerks.

DarkJohnson: I wish I was poor enough to afford health care.

Those lucky poor people...they get all the breaks!
 
2012-06-29 04:43:57 PM
God I really want to see the rest of that reaction
 
2012-06-29 04:43:58 PM
Remember this thread when people complained about the lack of decorum by the director of the DNC? I wonder if they're going to condemn this as well.

Yes. Sadly she isn't right wing enough for her district. My district. Ugh.
 
2012-06-29 04:46:28 PM
To console herself after she found out the truth, she went to the local childrens hospital and pulled the IVs out of poor kids arms. That brought a smile to her face.
 
2012-06-29 04:46:50 PM
When the actual result was announced a few short minutes later, I imagine her butthurt was so intense that her white dress had a red stain on the back.

Back when I blogged, I said the same thing in 2008. Legislation doesn't get written or passed because it's good; it's just a panderfest. I'd say that the right is worse, but voting for the least shiatty option gets old fast.

That was just disturbing to watch.

I like to joke a lot when discussing politics, but this just makes me sad. So much hate. WTF, people?

Perhaps...but the insane hyperbole is only happening on one side. I think we all know which side that is.
 
2012-06-29 04:48:18 PM
It's a damn shame she lost her primary. That's the type of composure and wisdom the GOP needs to reclaim some of its lost credibility.

unyon: Is that her voice at the end with "tax? They can't make it a tax, congress has to make it a tax!", or someone else?

I liked that part, too. And Congress did make it a tax, lady. They just didn't use the right word.
 
2012-06-29 04:49:53 PM
Where is this "denying millions of people affordable health care" bullshiat coming from?

I've been on Fark years and all I have been reading is that they are in fact already getting care and that "we are already paying for them" is the problem that has to be fixed.

Is the new spin that those Wasacally Wepublicans are wanting to snatch the bread out of their mouth? Here's a news flash: They already had bread. For free.

Holy fark that is some hard-core teabaggery there. Does your district have a higher than average percentage of old people or is it just a gas leak?
 
2012-06-29 04:50:00 PM
A few Fark Cons had that same reaction in the live thread.

They went missing after that.

One guy started threatening people.
