There are trillions of dollars of pork and earmarks in the Obamacare bill that reward the democrats who voted for it...

Somehow I do not think that this is a bill that was ever supported by the Republicans....

The huge amount of pork and earmarks tells me that even many of the democrats had to be "paid off" to support this catastrophe of a bill...

Confronting conservatives with their arrogant and defiant hypocrisy is like confronting Dracula with a crucifix---they don't like to be reminded of the reality of their soulless agenda and react with phony outrage.

Name one, "totaltruth". You seem to be an expert on "pork and earmarks." Name one and please give some details about why you think that its bad public policy. Name just one. And in your analysis, try not to use anything you were given by "Fox & Friends" or Limbaugh.

herro002 - Here is a small sample...

A $100 million item for construction of a university hospital was inserted in the Senate health care bill at the request of Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn

$1.2 billion over ten years for a permanent exemption from Nebraska’s share of the Medicaid expansion. The only state so exempted under the bill.

Exemption from the non-profit excise tax for Michigan insurers. Michigan and Nebraska were the only two states so exempted.

$250 million over six years in expanded federal Medicaid funding in Vermont.

$300 million increase in Medicaid funding in Louisiana

The list goes on and on and on... But that is OK... You can go on believing everything that Obama tells you... The truth obviously does not matter!!!!!

JPetersen3 - OK... Here are two out of many hundreds...

(Sen. Daniel Inouye (D., Hawaii), Sen. Daniel Akaka (D., Hawaii)) $30 billion in new funding for “Disproportionate Share Hospital” (DSH) payments in Hawaii (financed, in large part, by $18.5 billion in cuts to DSH payments in other states).

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.), Sen. Patrick Leahy (D., Vt.)$10 billion for “community health centers”.

Unfortunately... It is obvious that the vast majority of Democrats have no clue what is in this bill... and are relying on the blatant untruths told by their liberal politicians....
