THE MOST CHILLING WORDS ABOUT HEALTH CARE REFORM YET: It’s amazing how very vague statements about public policy can ring with such an apocalyptic edge when uttered by Harry Reid: “Remember, a public option is a relative term.” OH GOD there’s not going to be any health care reform at all! Please stop talking! “There’s a public option, there’s a public option, and there’s a public option. And we’re going to look at each of them.” Go back to your junkyard desert, Sadness Monster!

Oh, ok, I get it now. At first I thought that the last option he mentioned was a “pubic option”, and I was like, shit, WTF Jim, that’s completely different than “public”, and Reid’s right we should totally do one of those “pros and cons” lists for a pubic plan.
He’s got that look on his face like he’s trying to retake control of his rebellious middle finger, like Dr. Octavius in Spider Man 2: “YOUUUU listen to me NOW!”
Dear Harry, I have a pubic option for ya right here.
So there are known unknowns and unknown unknowns in “the public option”. At least I think I know what “is is” now.
How did this creature ever get elected?
Die already, Harry Reid, you prune-faced old git !
I’m thankful for Senator Reid’s comments. Underlying the resistance to health care reform is a feeling among the general public that they don’t understand what exactly is being proposed. Reid’s clarion description of the public option, and his intentions will not doubt remedy this issue.
What a fuck.
You know, what’s he’s saying is that it will be a “Public Option”…because when you are forced to buy private insurance you will be forced to do so by the government, which is a” public” entity, and “option”, because they had the option to grow a set and actually set up something that would really help people and they opted suck on the Big Inusrance cash teat instead. See! That’s why they’ll be able to call it a “Public Option” and still sleep at night.
You just have to speak their language.
Leave it to a mormon to be as clear as mud. Use your seer stones, Harry. Tell us what the
bill really says.
I’m against any option that makes it easier for Reid to force his relatives on the public. Though I might consider a trigger.
[re=425161]Hedley Lamar[/re]: He’s keeping that information under his hat.
alt.text: “This is what I think of your public option.”
[re=425161]Hedley Lamar[/re]: Ha! Although given the utter nonsense of Harry’s statement, I’d say he probably took a poop in his magic underwear and was trying to divine the skidmarks.
The death panels were sort of a public option and whatever happened to them? Socialism I bet. And I had a list drawn up and notices ready to send out.
…technically the public has several options; for example:
-Faith Healing
-Death
Sorry but that’s all I got!
Why did Nevada of all places elect this Mormon asshole as a senator? Is there a huge Mormon population in NV that outweigh all the swingers in Vegas?
Thanks to Magic Underwear Harry, soon all Americans will be forced to buy medical insurance from the already sated with profits insurance companies. So they get 20+ million new customers from amongst whom they will pick the winners & discard the losers, with no provisions to protect consumers or those with pre-existing conditions. The insurance companies will soon be challenging war profiteers in terms of collecting largesse from the govt. And the will of the people will be thwarted once again in this great democracy of ours.
Sadness Monster looks harmless, but from same genus as Despair Squid?
…I guess this is the Democratic equivalent of not being able to define “Victory” in Iraq!?
[re=425173]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: Ya know, you’re right.
Listening to a little George Michael always makes me feel better.
So let me see if I got this right, Harry:
There’s a public option.
Then there’s a public option.
Finally, we have a public option.
Have I got that right?
Why do you hate America?
[re=425174]Way Cool Larry[/re]: Short answer, yes. Outside of Vegas, Reno and Carson City, NV is heavily Mormon, especially the parts near Utah.
The Pubic Option will be somebody’s new user name in 4… 3… 2…
…“Remember, a public option is a relative term.”, really Harry?! Kinda like “Dying”, “Running out of gas” and “Being pregnant” are all relative terms?
Hell, we could make being sick illegal and have public shaming, where we put anyone who needs healthcare in stocks and mock them. Then we have the Democratic option, which is a public inability to accomplish anything. Or you could take the GOP approach, which is public indifference. See, there’s a vast array of public options.
I am the Public Option!!! All yee shall bow before my greatness; Bow down to me and my many, many forms. I am light. I am darkness. I am the signs of the corruption undercutting government and the cause.
I will smite yee non-believers.
Never forget.
O/T like crazy, but since it’s the first of Cocktober, perhaps I’ll be forgiven.

There’s a ball-less scrotum, a ball-less scrotum, and a ball-less scrotum. Which one is Harry Reid?
[re=425189]Jim89048[/re]: [re=425174]Way Cool Larry[/re]: All the gamblers and hoooers and strippers are too sleepy, drunk or stoned to be awake during polling hours. All the construction worker/union members have been laid off and gone somewhere there might be a job someday. All that’s left are the Latter Day Saints. Used to have one for a brother-in-law. He was an attorney, a smart guy. How he could fall for this spirit-baby angel-breeches nonsense is still a mystery to me.
[re=425192]peeno nwar[/re]: [re=425206]the public option[/re]: The PUBIC option is still available.
[re=425206]the public option[/re]: You’ve been around for a long, long year, and you’ve stole many a congressman’s soul and faith.
[re=425212]Native of SL UT[/re]: Actually there is the Pubic Option, the Pubic Option and the…. oh fuck it.
[re=425207]bitchincamaro[/re]: Does this meet the criteria of Cocktoberfest?
Newt Gingrich can’t quit da ladies!
[re=425173]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: Surely there’s room for snake oil in there?
[re=425207]bitchincamaro[/re]: So Ensign got Mr. Hampton a lobbying job as payback for screwing Mrs. Hampton, in addition to having his parents pay off the Hamptons and their children. This Christian adultery thing is waaaaay too complicated for me — I’m going to stick to the adultery that just involves having sex.
‘All the way in’ is a relative term, as well. Spread them cheeks and lets look at the permutations of that too, Mr Man-Tang.
[re=425212]Native of SL UT[/re]: The PUBIC option was on a TIME Swampland post the other day, but someone squealed in the comments and they fixed it before I could get home for the screen grab.

Reid: Public Option=bag of rat dicks in every household
I am for anything that has a death panel. But all of these MF’ers have to go in front of the panel first
[re=425209]V572625694[/re]: Yep. I’m pretty much surrounded here.
[re=425236]Dutch Oven Uncle[/re]: Make those hairless, ball-less rat dicks.
I read an article years ago when Reid was poised to become majority leader, or maybe minority leader, I can’t remember now, and the gist was “he may seem like a bland milquetoast, but he’s a scrappy fighter — he used to be a boxer, you know.” What the article didn’t mention was that he had a record of 0-21 (17 K.O.s) and massive resultant brain damage.
[re=425223]SayItWithWookies[/re]: It is complicated, which is why all political sex scandals must be interactive-timeline-friendly. By law.
Harry Reid is actually Trogdor — Burninatin’ Yer Health Care!
[re=425220]Extemporanus[/re]: Oh, hellll yes. Whenever a topless club owner is stripped of an award or anything else, it qualifies for Cocktoberfest.
YOU KNOW WITH SCIENTOLOGY YOU NEED NO PUBLIC OPTION
Harry is the lead operative in an LDS scheme to return the rethugs to power by creating a permanent disconnect in the public mind between “Democratic” and “leadership.” Hence, his nickname, Harry the Mole.
[re=425253]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: How’s that, shorts?
[re=425257]bitchincamaro[/re]: Because a human body is actually a conglomeration of degraded spiritual beings that were fused into one big mass during some long ago implant by Xenu. So a bunch of church members just get together to cure you by yakking at you.
Of course you have to sign over all of your worldly possessions first so the end result is similar to the current system.
[re=425174]Way Cool Larry[/re]: Beneath the respectable facade of gambling, drinking and whoring lies a seamy underside of full on churchy fuckwittery, is the problem.
[re=425149]suchsweetthunder[/re]: “How did this creature ever get elected?”
Check out the other politicians in Nevada for the answer.
[re=425174]Way Cool Larry[/re]: “Why did Nevada of all places elect this Mormon asshole as a senator? Is there a huge Mormon population in NV that outweigh all the swingers in Vegas?”
Yes, actually there is.
[re=425206]the public option[/re]: Which one of the P.O. triplets are you?
[re=425264]glamourdammerung[/re]: The next question is “should we be sorry when he loses to a rethug in his next campaign?”
And I submit that the answer is “NO!”

[re=425257]bitchincamaro[/re]: scientologist don’t need no steenkin public option?
Keith O. just provided incontrovertible proof that Glenda Beck is in fact SkoalRebel. Looking back, it’s painfully obvious. How was I so fooled?
[re=425253]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: YOU LIE!
Though Scientology is not widely seen as a religion in Europe, the court said it was making its judgment based on national law.
The Russian Scientology branches — one in the city of Surgut, the other in Nizhnekamsk — had originally taken their case to Russian courts but lost.
The Church of Scientology of Russia said the ruling “sets another important precedent to protect the rights of all other religious communities in Europe,” according to a statement from spokeswoman Nina de Kastro
Human society is doomed. Why resist? Thetans R’ Us.

Somewhere, in a protected underground lair, a team of Latter Day Saints are busy at work changing already issued death certificates into live, but now Mormon certificates.
[re=425265]glamourdammerung[/re]: Arizona is THICK with LDS and the lovely unwashed FLDS.
SnowFlake, AZ is the epicentre of the Funda-mental Ladder Day Saints, where Mesa, AZ is second only to SLC for number of temples/wards.
I live far away now…but still see a temple every now and again from Portland OR to Lansing, MI. Thick as thieves those Saints…Rocky Mountain Jews is another term I heard…a Chevy Suburban is called a BMW (Big Mormon Wagon) in Maricopa County.
Can we impeach Harry and install Russ Feingold, like, yesterday??
HAIL XENU AND YOUR HARRY REID WILL GIVE YOU THE HEALTH CARE
[re=425253]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: That sounds really interesting! Can you tell me more about Scientology?
[re=425299]V572625694[/re]: Over 75 million years ago, Xenu, who ran like SHIT TONS of everything, became very unsettled. He is also known as Harry Reid. In fact, Teegeeack (earth’s umm, “name at that time”)(which was part of his “lands”) SEEMED LIKE A PRETTY GOOD PLACE TO DUMP SOME SHIT! You see, there was A BUNCH OF OVERPOPULATION— THERE WERE OVER 178 BILLION UNINSURED IN XENU’S GALAXY!!1 Xenu needed to act fast.
Xenu taxed EVERYBODY up the ass as a result of this overpopulation, resulting in lots of people being injected with something which made them freeze. He took those poor frozen bastards and sent them out of Xenu land on what looked like DC-8s— BUT WITH ROCKETS (duh). Xenu then dumped his frozen people in the canary islands and dropped prehistoric hydrogen bombs on them— for sport. BUT HIS PLAN WAS THWARTED! The environment was too harsh for these bombs, and some other shit happened, and then Hollywood was formed! Xenu. Actually. Started. Hollywood.
So Hollywood entered the souls of other people and brainwashed them to act like Mel Gibson and all of a sudden their motto— “quitely and without sorrow”— was born.
They also don’t have the public option. Also.
Your welcome.
[re=425278]ifthethunderdontgetya”[/re]: I would rather have Gibbons there instead of Reid. At least that would cause less damage.
[re=425294]MGBYG[/re]: They called Suburbans “Mormon Station Wagons” when I lived in Nevada. The whole Southwest has a long and noble tradition of people tending to mind their own business and wanting to be left alone. Which of course does draw in the nutters.
I loved the area though. While there is a segment that is just as racist as the Deep South, it tends to be more of the “have nothing to do with and live in the middle of nowhere” crazy instead of the “lynch them and call it a suicide” type.

Everyone knows muslins don’t eat pork or cheese. They need to stock that market with organic garbanzo beans and camel steaks if they want those black SUVs roll’n.
[re=425308]catsquatch[/re]: wonkabout posting fail.
[re=425302]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Is Suri their Trig?
[re=425206]the public option[/re]: I slept with your mom. That is how you were born. Don’t thank Obama. Thank me.
[re=425302]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: But what about the two tin cans and the galvanometer? How do I get “clear”? And how much does it cost?
[re=425315]V572625694[/re]: At only $800.00 for your initial reading, not including full analysis and the easily acceptable $1,500.00 entry fee— it will still cost you less than dealing with Blue Cross.
[re=425315]V572625694[/re]: So that’s why the original lyrics to “Where It’s At” were:
“Putting out jive and jamboree handouts
Two turntables and a microphone
Galvanometer and cans just clasp your hands, just clasp your hands!”
Beck couldn’t have been more “clear”.
[re=425294]MGBYG[/re]: FLDS: putting the fundament back in religion since the LDS turned their backs on plural marriage. Also yes, The Southwest people are independent & just want to be left alone. Except when they are paying $1/year to graze their cattle on federal land, or paying $1 for a lease of federal land to mine for gold, during which they pollute the fuck out of everything, after which we pay for the cleanup because the mining concern conveniently declared bankruptcy after cashing in on that $1 lease. Yes ma’am, those southwesterners are mighty independent, except when they are sucking on the federal teat, which is always. They’re about as independent as a two-year-old.
[re=425202]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: “Remember, a public option is a relative term.”
As are:
“Let them eat cake” and “Let them eat non-cake”.
[re=425333]hobospacejunkie[/re]: Don’t forget these FLDS pedofests where they put all of the sister-child-brides on unemployment and them have them work 14-hour days.
“relative term” and “x = y= z” are not great ways of demonstrating the plans under consideration.
It’s a little like saying Harry Reid is the same as Harry Reid the dumbfuck vs. Harry Reid the Asshat vs. Harry Reid the Defeator of Universal Healthcare. I think the kids call this shit “nuance”.
Who are you?
Reid may have been referring to the public options that have all passed the house.
[re=425363]bago[/re]: Yup. And all the house “public options” have died in the Senate. Harry Reid knows this because he works there. He is even a little influential in the Senate cloak room. Google him! He’s somewhat well known.
Swing state Dem, up for reelection and behind in the polls. I’m sure the insurance industry is throwing mad money at this guy.
one day a real rain will come and wash all that scum away*
*”that scum”, def., united states congress. sorry, that’s all the public option i got.
Harry Reid: Verbally flipping off the human species, since the dawn of time.
[re=425268]BeWoot[/re]: Let’s just say if you translate my name into Spanish it means “the Nino.”
This country is run by corporations that profit from war, disease and stupidity.
[re=425309]catsquatch[/re]: No, no. I think it fits.
[re=425314]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Incorrect, I am affraid. That was, in point of fact, tpo’s dad. Well, stepfather, really. But the only real male influence that’s been around cuz Harry Reid is a nancy fag.
