tiller wasnt murdered you people....... he was just very late-term aborted, justifiable in his case-human garbage. </p>

<p>Just think, all those souls that were not allowed to exercise their right to life can now confront their "terminator" and in front of God, find out why he chose to kill them and witness the judgement God has for him.</p>

<p>I am so happy that this baby killer was killed. and now maybe all of the innocent babies that this bastard killed can rest in peace.</p>

<p>that's for sure. I'm glad he was shot. let him go to hell early</p>

<p>Wow, evil, evil people on this thread. It's okay to be a terrorist in the cause of Jesus? No thanks American terrorists. As for O'Reilly, there are no words to describe his irrationality, fear mongering and flat out lies. You can't debate with religious extremists and terrorists.</p>

<p>Whats the big deal?? Tiller became the victim of a REALLY late term abortion today! Whats wrong with it? LOL!</p>

		        <![CDATA[<p>I assert that the Democratic party will suffer virtually no electoral cost whatsoever for taking the "rough" approach of utilizing the budget reconciliation rules to pass any of these contentious pieces of legislation.</p>

<p>I can grudgingly understand why senators in certain states feel that they must vote in their state's narrow financial interests on cap & trade. Beyond that though, it is naive to believe that there will be any real difference in the opposition's behavior whether we play nice or we play rough.</p>

<p>I have watched as these people sink to ever lower lows of outright lying, complete fabrication, and character assassination in order to get their way. And the reason they keep going lower? </p>

<p>It works.</p>

<p>Regrettably, it is past time to concern ourselves with perception. It is time to win. Budget reconciliation is an entirely legal and ethical way to pass legislation when that legislation is crucial to the success of our country, and will otherwise fail to be enacted. </p>

<p>Come election time, the American people will remember only that it got passed, and it works. The Republicans are going to employ the same strategy, tactics and rhetoric anyway - so let them employ it in a losing cause.</p>

<p>So, what Blount is saying is that if the Feds drive the private plans out of existence, your employer might consider not offering that NON-EXISTENT coverage.</p>

<p>Sheesh. What's insulting--among so many other things--is that they don't even make the effort to come up with a logical argument. And the truly sad thing is that you will hear the Rush, Hannity, Coulter, O'Really spout this line, followed by millions of Dittos dittering.  </p>]]>
