Noted and signed. Added some comments because I'm tired of this. There's a reason why they KEEP ON losing House seats at the national level, after all. pfui.

Most of us aren't nearly as stupid as you seem to think we are, and in fact are not even as stupid as you are. Stop lying. We're fed up with the GOP lies and liars and that's why even many Republicans have voted you OUT. If you have good ideas, bring them, but NEVER again bring all the lies. The lies prove you are dishonest and prove you have no solutions. You started the wars, ran us into debt and damaged the economy. YOU DID ALL THIS TO OUR NATION. You've done enough damage. STOP!

Chaz, Boehner nor anyone else in our government is subject to this health care plan nor are they subject to social security. They have pit together their own sweetheart retirement deal for which the average every day American is not eligible.

Carole, great minds and all....LOL

I reread the article again after some of the comments here (notably JennyLynn's), it seems that on both sides of the aisle, the Crap-O-Meter readings are just going off the charts at this point.

I don't believe for one instant that ANY of these mouth-pieces for Big Biz really have anyone's interests in mind save their own, the lobbyists, and the Big Biz industries who stand to benefit from any action they do or don't take. Everything is about money, selling, and getting something out of someone else by any means possible. Nothing is actually being done simply because it's the right thing to do, oh no, it's all cleverly disguised in rhetoric and photo ops and other things to make us think it is.

Until the health of ALL humans is de-business-i-fied and is viewed as a normal part of living and isn't something a "business" for someone, nothing will ever change. Ever. I'm convinced of that. So long as anything is about buying, selling and how to make money off of someone else, it just won't change and I certainly to do NOT trust this Boehner fellow or any politicians at this point - party notwithstanding. To me, these two parties stopped representing the constituency of Americans a long, long time ago.

SIGNED, THANKS. We need to pass a law that whenever politicians speak to the American people they are automatically under penalty of perjury. It is too easy for them to lie and mislead Americans about anything without bothering to apologize or correct themselves if caught. These people have no shame or integrity and are failures as decent human beings. People must vote them out of power, even in so-called "protected" districts. The terms "Republicans" and "Democrats" are meaningless artificial constructs used to divide the American people and to focus their anger against each other instead of at those in power. We are all in the American party! No wonder people have lost faith in their government. This is dangerous. When government officials stop representing the wishes of the common people, the time becomes ripe for a revolution to throw the bums out. How many politicians can you think of who represent your interests? One or two, right? How sad. Funny how those same politicians are against gun control. I think the right to bear arms will backfire on them someday when the middle class bridge from poverty to wealth is gone, the American dream is dead and American people have finally had enough of their crap. Just sayin' :)
