3. Teabaggers oppose Obama's HCR because he is a Democrat
We oppose Obama's HCR because it is not a Democratic plan, but a transfer of wealth from the working class to the health insurance rackets.

7. If you mean thise of us who oppose the proposed bill, understand this
We do not hate Obama. Most of us worked our asses off to get this man elected.
Much of his support was due to promises he made concerning health care.
Now his admin is asking that we accept a crap piece of legislation just to say something passed.
Nope. The one thing I will do is tell elected officials when they are wrong. And here they are wrong.

6. I will be damned before I cast my lot with the republicans and teabaggers
And it seems that's what a lot of people are doing on DU lately.

And IMHO the kill the bill folk and the teabaggers are two sides of the same ugly coin.

14. the teabaggers don't oppose it because its a bad bill;
they oppose it because it is a Democratic bill. If George Bush, John Boner, and Mitch McConnell had proposed an identical bill, they would be in favor of it. Too many here at DU have the same stupid football team mentality as teabaggers do; frankly, those who don't opppose this bill are acting like teabaggers, not the ones who want it killed because its a terrible bill.

15. Bullshit
and after the actions and rhetoric of the progressives, I no longer call myself a progressive.

I'm just a black woman who wants a bill passed so that it can be improved. If that doesn't satisfy your progressive litmus test to hell with you and the progressives.

I'm just as pissed as you are and as many on here has said, I have the right to speak my mind.

20. Appeal to authority argument. I really don't care what groups will vote to kill a bad bill., as...
long as the bad bill is killed. If Hitler had a vote and he supported my side of the policy I'd take it in a heartbeat. I don't give a crap about identity politics, I only care about the substance of what will be achieved or lost.
