After that monologue I am truly speechless.

I'm wretching.

Doesn't it just make you want to join her faith? Certainly explains why she embraces the extremist right wing rethoric and hangs on for dear life.

Ain't it a punch in the gut the depth of ignorance and arrogance. I think I lost a couple IQ points off that......

For the record, that 'monologue', as Leigha calls it, had nothing to do with my faith. Facts are facts. Whether you like them or not.

We will remember the tyranny, the power grab, the overt

manipulation, the backroom deals, the closed-door sessions,the condescension toward the American people, the disenfranchising of constituents, the steamrolling of

the legislative process, the subversion of the Constitution, and the outright disregard of the rule of law in NOVEMBER! I can't wait for the elections to come. Yeah!

Thanks to ObamaCare, the IRS alone is poised to hire 16,500

new agents, who will act as the bill's "enforcement agency."

When Nancy Pelosi said that healthcare reform would

create 40,000 new jobs immediately, we didn't realize

that almost half of them would be IRS agents!

And this is just the beginning. There are literally

scores of new bureaucracies listed in the 2,700 pages of

the President's final bill. The ancillary costs of

this government takeover will far exceed what was

projected by its sponsors.

The effects of ObamaCare are already being calculated in

the private sector. According to the Wall Street Journal,

ObamaCare's cost to American corporations could reach

$14 billion this year!

Companies like AT&T, John Deere, MedTronic, AK Steel, 3M,

Caterpillar, and Valero Energy have already counted the

cost to their bottom line for the upcoming year - and

the effects are staggering. Of course, American citizens

will ultimately pay the price for these rising costs.

The "hidden costs" will not be limited to increased taxes,

but will also show up in increased process costs for

products and services. Those ancillary costs are never

calculated by the CBO, a fact which is noted in their

projections. And, of course, the CBO heavily disclaimed

their report and the "assumptions" foisted on them

by ObamaCare's architects.

You might as well remember it like that, you have the rest of history screwed up already.

Funniest thing, we're looking forward to the November elections too. Especially if your side keeps up with the kind of stuff they've been spewing. :frown:

And we will remember the hypocrisy of the party of no that voted against the stimulus while taking credit for it to their constituents

We will remember how well the RNC was a steward of their own money when an employee used almost $2000 of donator's money to visit a strip/bondage club.

We will remember the sex scandals of the party who claims the high ground on morality.

We will remember those who would continue to die each year from the lack of healthcare the republicans would still continue to deny them.

We will remember their lies about healthcare and see them fall apart one by one as the provisions of the bill unfold.

We will remember the republicans who stood with those in the tea party while same was spitting on and yelling to black representatives.

We will remember those republicans who stood with the tea party when they published the addresses of democrats online and one of their brother's had the gas line cut at his home.

We will remember how the democrats took the sinking economy and turned it around and by every economist's analysis is improving.

We will remember that most of the deficit we now have was inherited from bush for his tax cuts for the rich, two wars and big giveaway to pharma, all unfunded.

We will remember the shocking lack of decorum when a republican member of congress yelled "you lie" to our Commander in Chief at a state of the union and another yelled "baby killer" to an anti-abortion democrat.

We will remember that the democratic party is the party of yes, we can (and yes, we did) while the republican party is the party of hell, no.

I will do my part to make sure that people remember.

You know I'm kidding you, right? Your posts are always so cool and gramatically correct I couldn't resist. Please jump on me when you see something like that. I do post fast and miss typos and stuff sometimes. Everyone does. You're the least guilty! That's why it was so tempting.

Republican definitions 101:

tyranny: When a democrat wins by a big majority

power grab: When the democrats have the majorities in the house and senate and use it. Can you imagine the nerve!

manipulation & backroom deal: using the tactics used by republicans but is wrong now

disenfranchising of constituents: use rasmussen polls

the subversion of the Constitution: when all else fails, use this lie (add socialism if necessary)

outright disregard of the rule of law: we (republicans) lost.

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
