		<description>&quot;centrist Blue Dog Democrats, just like our writers and readers here at NoQuarter, cannot stand the Democratic party anymore.&quot;

You got that right.&#160; The Democratic party represents hubris.&#160; I have never seen such a group of arrogant, pathetic losers in my life. </description>

Take your tired old drivel elsewhere before &quot;Mr. Bronwyn&quot; or Larry (they are &quot;interchangeable&quot; after all) gets angry.</description>

		<description>Any physician worth the title should not enable passage of legislation that is certainly going to harm patients!
We will all confront physical illness or injury at some point, and I won&#039;t call a politician!
As to your query Bronwyn, what does it say about the true character of a representative when they take the smoothest route on the most important vote they may ever cast?</description>

		<description>Allow me, &lt;strong&gt;The Real HC&lt;/strong&gt;, to introduce you to one of Paul Graham’s essays titled &lt;em&gt;How to Disagree&lt;/em&gt;. Its well worth a read or two. In it, he constructs a hierarchy of argumentation, which I try to follow.

http://www.paulgraham.com/disagree.html

The Central Point, the crux of the matter, is Health Care. Simply stated, can we do better. I assuredly blunder in addressing Larry Johnson instead of the author of this thread. Mr. Johnson has expressed similar views as Mr. Bronwyn, and usually with vitriol to President Obama. They are interchangeable, for their views follow a vary narrow parallel track.

The Central Point is health care, who gets it, and who doesn’t. Who pays through the nose, and who waltzes away with it gift rapped as a “perk”. It is whether the rapacious Insurance companies should be regulated, or left to finagle their clients to their financial advantage. 

Pssst1#: If you read Mr. Graham’s essay you will understand the Central Point issue. The weakness and deleterious effects of &lt;em&gt;Ad Hominem&lt;/em&gt; use in discourse is briefly discussed.

Pssst 2#: The Central Point in my first communication can be found at the end of the post, to wit: the delivery of Health Care in the U.S. sucks in comparison to other countries. I think that is a more important topic than the dynamics of my household.</description>

		<description>Pssst: Our Paul, you are neither funny nor witty enough to pull off irony. 

You are indeed a sanctimonious idiot who apparently fails to identify that Bronwyn is the author of this article, not Larry.

I would have sent back to KOS until recently, but I am sure that you are angry that they are (ignorantly) &quot;voting against&quot; the current health bill. 

Maybe thats what brings you by this blog? A little spat with your homies? Or did they get sick of you lecturing them on how to fact check their elected reps whilst simultaneously crediting the wrong author? 

A man of letters such as yourself should be more careful. 

I recommend several months of Washington Post blogging in pennance, its just the place for you.</description>

		<description>Ah yes, an expression of anger with a tad bit of vitriol mixed in for good measure by brother&lt;strong&gt; The Real HC. &lt;/strong&gt;

If you are voting “against”, you have to define what you are against. If you cannot sharply define why you are against, and present plausible alternatives, you are ignorant. Now that may be a tad bit harsh, but that is the way the world works.

As for Larry, and my &lt;em&gt;sanctimonious&lt;/em&gt; response to his question, what can I say in my defense? He is a well educated man, with claims of International experience, a man of letters if you wish. And, an accomplished spook. Surely he recognized my answer to his question being correct, and as a man of letters, he must have recognized its ironic tone. I hope he laughed as much as I did while writing it…

Pssst 1#: Irony the expression of one&#039;s meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.
or
 a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result.</description>

<p>As for Larry, and my <em>sanctimonious</em> response to his question, what can I say in my defense? He is a well educated man, with claims of International experience, a man of letters if you wish. And, an accomplished spook. Surely he recognized my answer to his question being correct, and as a man of letters, he must have recognized its ironic tone. I hope he laughed as much as I did while writing it…</p>
<p>Pssst 1#: Irony the expression of one&#8217;s meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.<br />
or<br />
 a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result.</p>

		<description>I cannot wait to vote against these morons &quot;serving&quot; Illinois.  First time ever I will vote Republican for senator, though I also plan a strategic primary vote against one of Barry&#039;s basketball buddies.  Urging all in Illinois to vote David Hoffman to push Giannoulias off the ballot.</description>

		<description>Agreed.  She didn&#039;t have to use the public opportunity to embarass the guy and to express her opinion of herself.  It made her look like a horse&#039;s ass.</description>
