    It's more than just an affinity, Jim - it's an obsession - the democrat agenda controls you.

    but you do the same,
    No, Jim, this is just your Democrat controlled mantra.

    you just seem to be embarrassed to admit to it.
    I have freely admitted I am OFTEN embarrassed by some of the nutty things Trump says and does, which is why I don't consider myself a Trump supporter. Are you too freakin' dense to grasp that, or are you just that dishonest?

      Jim, there's plenty of documentation here on Tweb of you "waving the banner" of the democrats, and the FACT is that I'm not a Republican, so I'll leave the little nutter games to you. I just don't understand why you keep doing this to yourself.

        Oh, how soon some forget. Although in your case it's probably not a matter of forgetting, it's more like just never having known what went on in the first place.

          Oh, I know exactly what happened with all the "budget reconciliation" and "We have to vote on it to know what's in it" nonsense, and the fact that it passed without a single Republican vote. Once the Democrats took complete control of the White House and Congress, there was no stopping it.

            You seem awfully angry, CP. Methinks you dost protest to much. You voted for the narcisistic, undemocratic, nationalist, autocrat, you support the narcissitic undemocratic, nationalist, autocratic's policies, just admit that you support the narcisistic autocrat. Why so embarrassed? Is it that you just get embarrassed when he opens his mouth and exposes to everyone else who and what he actually is?

              Not surprised you got that wrong, too.

                  That's right, it passed without a single republican vote and it took over 216 votes to pass it. Many so called blue dog democrats, there were 52 of them, put their careers on the line supporting the bill in its most liberal form, and you can thank Pelosi for that. Mary Landrieu lost her election over her support for it. Probably don't remember that do you?

                    Yep, I remember that. Strong-arming Obamacare through went so swimmingly that Democrats had historic losses in the House afterward.

                      This is nothing more than JimL's typical parroting back whatever we say about him. He's the Pee Wee Herman of Tweb.

                        so if Obama care is so great, why are the liberals all crying for socialized single-payer health care, and complaining about how bad our healthcare system currently is?

                          Think about it Sparko. If it was so difficult to pass Obamacare, how tough do you think passing single-payer at the time would have been. Obamacare was originally a republican/conservative idea so we used that as a foundation. We'll get to single payer eventually, but we have to overcome the ignorance first which sometimes takes a while. Even republicans like Obamacare now, so much so that republicans ran on protecting it in the recent election. Of course it didn't help them much, their constituents are on to them now!

                            The fact that it was pushed through Congress using sketchy politics, that the final House version was ultimately rejected by every Republican and 34 Democrats, and that Congressional Democrats suffered huge losses in the next election because of how unpopular Obamacare was doesn't speak well for Pelosi's leadership skills.

                            I can tell you this much: without Dingy Harry in the Senate and Obama in the White House scheming with her, Pelosi's "leadership" isn't going to amount to a hill of beans.

                              so basically you just admitted that Obamacare was just a way to get their foot in the door to complete socialized medicine. So much for denying the slippery slope arguments.
