If we need to incorporate Tea Bagger ideas - let's kill the mandate, not Drill Baby Drill! WTF!!!!!

1. If you had listened to what the President said, you would understand..

that this plan has nothing to do with teabagger ideas.

I'm so glad I'm not a snap-reactionary, what's it like?

2. Bogus. We need the mandate, or no end to pre-existing.

The oil lease change matters not, for two years at least. All that area needs resurvey. It is a brilliant tactical move, largely symbolic. Taking the wind out of Rethug sails.

Give the man who has shown you strength, and progress a little fucking credit. All your way, or you campaign against?

5. Pre-existing clause is already law. there is no reason we could not get rid of the mandate and keep

the pre-existing clause.

The mandate is against my best interest - as is the offshore theft of our oil.

If he feels forced to cave in to more teabag ideas - let's kill the crappy mandate, keep the reforms in the bill, and DO NOT drill, baby, drill.

[Gman2]

7. You would be creating the mother of all federally unfunded mandates.

And a soundbite that would bite off all our heads.

[grahamhgreen]

8. No, the teabaggers and Repubs are AGAINST the mandate, and the mandate is to PURCHASE

insurance - not purchasing it would not remove funding.

[Gman2]

9. I dont give a flying what the Teafluffers say. It is logic.

12. So, is this like that chess game on HCR? nt

3. All the murdering necessary to maintain BAU. n/t

4. Oil

I like the idea of not relying on foreign countries for oil and other commodities we can produce for ourselves. Hopefully this is a part time deal, so we can focus on renewable energy.

[grahamhgreen]

6. Except that - this oil will be sold on the open market to China, etc, , so it will do nothing to

reduce our foreign dependency.

[Renegades of Funk]

10. In that case

kinda lame.
At the very least it creates jobs, but that's it.

[laughingliberal]

11. ROFL!

Yes, from now on can we vote on which RW ideas we prefer?
