It is clear. Stewart was ripping the Secretary of Health and Human Services...who was spilling codswallop all over his audience...for very good reasons.That's not "spiteful". IP: Logged |

No, Jon Stewart was ripping 26 republican-controlled states that refused free money from the Federal Government to "bring health care to their working poor" for reasons that are strictly ideological. "Brought to you by Spite, the emotion that makes you turn down millions of dollars that would go towards health care for the working poor, because you hate the President." -Jon Stewart, The Daily Show, October 10, 2013. He then goes on to show Rick Perry's (governor of the state with the most uninsured children) press statement on the matter. Followed by the 49th healthiest state in the Union (Mississippi)'s Governor Phil Bryant.

Jon is dead on.The very definition of spite. Not to mention woefully irresponsible. These officials are elected servants of the people. Safeguarding the people's interest, and wellbeing, must always come before all else. IP: Logged |

Dennis Ross, GOP Rep: 'Pride' Is Why Republicans Won't Budge On Government ShutdownPosted: 10/05/2013 3:12 pm EDT | Updated: 10/07/2013 1:02 pm EDT WASHINGTON -- With the government shutdown in its fifth day, many Republicans have conceded the fight is no longer about Obamacare. Rep. Dennis Ross (R-Fla.) added his name to the list on Saturday, saying the matter now boils down to "pride." “Republicans have to realize how many significant gains we’ve made over the last three years, and we have, not only in cutting spending but in really turning the tide on other things," Ross told The New York Times. "We can’t lose all that when there’s no connection now between the shutdown and the funding of Obamacare." "I think now it’s a lot about pride," he added. The fight over keeping the government open began with Republicans insisting that any funding bill include anti-Obamacare provisions, starting with a full-fledged campaign led by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) to defund the health care law. When that plan was rejected by the Senate, House Republicans offered a series of spending bills that continued to chip away at Obamacare; their final offer included a one-year delay of the law's individual mandate and a ban on federal health care subsidies to members of Congress and their staffs. Ross told Bloomberg that Republicans had "lost the [continuing resolution] battle." "We need to move on and take whatever we can find in the debt limit," he said. But many of his colleagues, particularly in the House GOP's right flank, have refused to back down. Comments made by Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-Ind.) last week underscore Ross' suggestion that many Republicans believe what's at stake is no longer a matter of policy but one of pride. "We're not going to be disrespected ... We have to get something out of this. And I don't know what that even is," Stutzman said. The Indiana Republican later apologized, saying he had "carelessly misrepresented" the budget debate. House Republicans have pushed a series of targeted spending bills to fund parts of the government, notably those that have received the most attention, such as the National Institutes of Health, Veterans Affairs, and parks and museums. The White House and Senate Democrats have rejected the piecemeal approach, pointing out that House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has the votes to reopen the entire government. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/05/dennis-ross-government-shutdown_n_4050231.html Our government needs more pragmatic Republicans like this one. A spending deal would clear the way for compromises on other issues, such as immigration and revising the tax code, he told Bloomberg. “There are a whole lot of other issues that haunted us at the election other than Obamacare,” Ross said. “I would hope there’s at least enough of us to constitute a majority of reasonable people that realize we need to give and take."Earlier this week, Rep. C.W. Bill Young also said it's time to move on. Democrats have tried to force votes on a so-called clean CR but they have been rejected as out of order by Republicans. Democrats say that's a sign of hypocrisy among Young and others. http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/the-buzz-florida-politics/dennis-ross-weve-lost-the-cr-battle/2145702

I frankly don't understand your post, JWhop.If we're recounting things, you did misrepresent the video linked to, which specifically mentioned Republican spite (remember the topic title?). I know nothing of a "Mushroom Brigade," nor do I even like mushrooms (though I'll accept them on pizza or in stroganoff). What's the point of telling a joke only you understand? IP: Logged |
