It's interesting that they've announced this a couple of days before Iran's "punch" at the west, whatever that may be. Any guesses as to what this punch will be?

This is just another way, alhough a huge one, of buying votes for democrats. Getting close to thinking the only citizens that vote should be those that actually pay income taxes. Maybe one needs to "earn" the right to vote. I don't know, but it's getting way out hand.

I have the same reaction that Stan did when the class was told Cartman had AIDS. I know I'm supposed to feel bad, but I can't help leaving the room to start laughing.

Now maybe they can finally get over Katrina!

Medically necessary - I don't think so! Mentally necessary - more likely! LOL

If the state dept./justice dept. decide to go along with this kind of "swap", I can only believe it will encourage abductions of American citizens by Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups.

"They are merely symbolic gestures," said Michael Dorf, a constitutional law professor at Cornell University. "If this Congress were to pass an individual mandate, and if it is constitutional—which I believe it is—the express rule under the supremacy clause (of the U.S. Constitution) is that the federal law prevails."

This mindset scares the s**t out of me. So what other "individual" mandates would be in the best interest of the people in the eyes of the government?

Or they could just read Dr. Frank Luntz's book "What Americans Really Want......Really" It gives a pretty good idea of what Americans are all about and what they want, not only government, but from business, religion, the future, etc. Very enlightening.

Another "black hole" to throw money in. $8 billion dollars to build, how many billions a year to SUBSIDIZE after it's built!

I was thinking they should bring Scott Ritter out of his "retirement". At least a few children may be saved from sexual his misconduct.
