Iraq Invasion 2003: 2 months of debate on faulty evidence.

Health care 2009: 100 years of debate based on solid evidence of private industry malfeasance.

>baww my generation will be lucky enough to get affordable health care as we enter middle-age, i'm a spoiled faggot who can't appreciate anything.

Fuck socialized healthcare. You faggots don't understand what your bringing on yourselves.

Republicans 2003: Criticizing the president is treasonous! Protestors are loons!

Republicans 2009: Descent is the highest form of patriotic

>see, i can make people look hypocritcal too!

What's your Fark handle?

Republicans 2003: We are slavering, crypto-fascist retards that would be unelectable anywhere else in the civilised world.

Republicans 2009: We are slavering, crypto-fascist retards that would be unelectable anywhere else in the civilised world.

>hurr democrats saw that there was a major issue with the war (it's justification) and they didn't want to sign off on it durr
>war turns out to be a major dud, which is costing the US a lot of money
>But op still finds a way to use it to degrade democrats

Wait, what exactly will they bring upon themselves? It's not like all your doctors are going to commies in disguise, waiting to inject you with aids. People like you are just too fucking retarded to engage in an argument of this importance.

The same democrats that gave the president the power to go to war and then backtracked like pussies once people started to dislike the war. The American people as a whole were pretty big pussies. A majority were for it and then fagged out once they realized what they did.

the democrats should have used their control of congress to cut off funds for the war and shit on every bush appointee they could subpoena

they mightn't have been reelected but at least they would have been true to the principles of the constitution

It's not socialized healthcare. It's a social healthcare fallback option with the current private system staying in place. The main reason you see so many ads against the plan is because the insurance industry is afraid the government plan will be better than what they have to offer and they will not be able to compete.

Obama didn't, part of the reason why he ended up beating Hillary. He was also lucky enough to not be elected until 2004 when it was obvious the war was a huge mistake.

especially when you can't spell and then try to be intilligint

Both of you are stupid, democrats didn't control congress from 2000-2006.
They did cede power to the president, but it was an empty gesture since congress was controlled by Republicans.

Well right now we have an awesome system!

Before operation:
Ask insurance.
Response: "We'll cover it"

After operation:
Letter from insurance.
Content: "Actually, Loophole! You're stuck with the bills, put it on your mortage or credit card or something"

I love it~!

so uh what happened after 2006

the most insane right wing party in new zealand actually basically supports obama's policy

in between niggerdeath, childbeating, and privatising the police, of course

>>5398824
In 2006 we had been at war in Iraq for 3 years, which was the original point that you were replying to(and missed).
As for cutting off funding, if you remember the Senate was functionally tied from 2007-2009, and Bush threatened to veto any bill that cut funding for the war in exchange for bringing military personnel home.

Republicans 2009: "YOU LIE!"

>>5398814
>>5398824
The democrats decided to still do nothing and let the war continue, and now Obama wants more troops in Afghanistan! Hope and Peace 2009!

Also, you say the democrats weren't in power in congress but now the democrats have congress and the executive branch and still can't get shit passed. What's your excuse now?
