After what seemed like an endless marathon of debates, fiery town halls, tea baggers with misspelled signs, and talk about how it will plunge the country into socialism, the House of Representatives passed the health care bill (219-212) marking a huge victory for the Democrats and the president. When exactly the secret police will start pulling citizens from their homes and killing grandmothers is still unclear, but we expect Fox News to keep us updated.
Congratulations!
Let's see what kind of strange chimera you'll turn it into.

The mere fact that the insurance companies supported this bill should tell you just how awful it is. Full disclosure: I've voted the straight Democratic ticket all my life.
There goes Western Democracy. I'm getting in line for the Death Panel.
Does this mean Rush Limbaugh is moving to Costa Rica as promised?
But where will Rush get his steady stream of painkillers?
hahaha oh nooo not FOX NEWS…they are not a good crowd
@jeff Costa Rica has socialized medicine, so he'll figure something out.
Keep your pants on. The Senate still has to approve the changes to the bill.
Mexico has some of the lowest tax rates in the world, and little or no social services. I suggest the teabaggers relocate to the conservative paradise just south of the border. Guns are really popular as well.
I vote that we just let the republican states secede from the nation and stick it out on their own. If they want to stay being cowboys, hicks and rednecks they can just go **ck off, join Mexico or some other country that symbolizes their backwards idea of freedom and let the rest of the civilized states move forward. Let them go… we don't need their farms for tobacco or cotton any more or their miserable de-evolutionary ideals or beliefs. Maybe while they are at it they'll try to go back to slavery again.

With comments like those, it remains unclear to who civility is foreign. You see, ignorance is as virulent as any bullet or pretentious order. Get yourself a bus ticket to Mexico, pass by the Carolinas and attempt to live-a-little. The shit's short. Stop hating so much.
Lets take away medicare to show how without a "socialist system", they wouldn't have the insulin needed to keep them going after scarfing down deep fried hamburgers their whole life.
