I've always wonder how anybody could seriously say, "You need to pass it, so you can find what is in it" without laughing and saying, "April fools!" in the very next sentence. I wonder if she would sign a contract for a new car, without reading the details of the contract."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe. I did try to found a heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy."

I voted against her for governor in 2006."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

I think she was a bit of a scapegoat with no real power or control. I've read many reports (from both the left and the right) that said that Obamacare was being micromanaged from the White House.

First question on my mind is whether the next secretary will drop the contraceptive mandate.Don't call it a comeback. It's a riposte.

Originally posted by Spartacus View PostWhen so many details of the law (e.g. HHS contraceptive mandate) were actually to be determined by the Executive Branch, there actually was no way to know. It's not that the bill itself was bad on that particular count, but that Congress has been passing the buck on making the actual laws.

Originally posted by lilpixieofterror View PostMy issue would be is idiotic things being said like, "You need to pass it to find out what is in it" sort of nonsense. What kind of insanity is that? I also have issues that a bill can get though congress without a single person, on the other side of the isle, approving of it."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.

Originally posted by lilpixieofterror View PostIn recent years, I can't think of any. Even the dreaded 'Bush era tax cuts' or the invasion of Iraq had democrats supporting both bills.
(Did I just use "good" and "government" in the same sentence? )The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
