It won't raises tax one bit and will save money in the long run. You could admit this if you stopped lying to yourselves.

  Unlikely, and probably unintended. Raising the price of drugs, health insurance and medical equipment is more a feature than a bug with this plan. The idea being that after a decade of steadily increasing pain from higher prices, people will be clamoring for single payer.

Scotch, may i please purchase some of whatever powerful hallucinogen you're on? Thank you.

  At least with ObamaCare you can get help for your addiction. You just get to starve in Libertopia.

Also: high five, Anonbot. That was awesome.

In addition, judging by what happened in Massachusetts, your tax forms themselves will double in size.

The Massachusetts personal income tax return is now TWICE AS LARGE as it used to be, with the new required Health Insurance schedules.

At least with ObamaCare you can get help for your addiction.

I know it must hurt to get burned by Anonymity Guy, but slurping even harder on Obama's cock isn't gonna make you feel any better about yourself.

  Is everyone who disagree with your insane "philosophy" gay or do you just hope they are? Maybe you should stop using this board to look for dates.
  1. Naga Sadow 15 years ago
    
    What argument? You claimed we all were "lying" to ourselves. I see no argument. I did see Anon Bot torch your ass though. Quite awesome . . . till he gains full sentience. Then we're all fucked.
  2. CoyoteBlue 15 years ago
    
    Fellating the ruling class is not "gay." But I'm sure that those of the slave mentality, like you, get somekind of pleasure from it.

      Did your corporate masters tell you to write that? Do they know you are stealing precious company time from them?

I can't wait for the first Obamanaut to complain to me about their higher taxes. I am going to laugh SO fucking hard in their face.

After punching them in the face, that is.

Oh and to our house Republicans? This is as much your fault too. Anyone who voted regularly for politicians promising them free ponies of any kind can belly up to get their share of the blame too.

Enjoy all that expanded power that you voted to give to the gummint.
Xeones 15 years ago

Whoa there, Scotcho. Like CoyoteBlue said, metaphorical fellation of the POTUS doesn't make you a homosexual. I'm a little surprised that being called gay would disturb you so. Are you that homophobic?
1. Scotch Hamilton 15 years ago
  
  I'm not the homophobe here. I care about oppressed people.
  1. West Coaster 15 years ago
    
    I care about oppressed people.
    
    For example, the individual?
    1. Scotch Hamilton 15 years ago
      
      The individual just wants to be a racist tax-cheat. He he can't find enough people to vote in his loony ideas, that's his fault.

    Well, blowing the oppressed does mean you care... Swallowing means you REALLY care.
    1. Scotch Hamilton 15 years ago
      
      More homophobia from the intellectually bankrupt fraud that is libertarianism. What a surprise.

    So why do you support health care legislation that prevents illegal immigrants from participating in the health care exchanges? They're not just (rightly) ineligible for subsidies: they are prohibited from buying health insurance.
    1. Scotch Hamilton 15 years ago
      
      If they didn't have to spend all that time appeasing The Party of No, maybe they could have. After Democrats sweep the mid-terms, Pelosi will fix everything they had to leave out to shut up you teabaggers.

        Too funny!
      3. cynical 15 years ago
        
        Why exactly did they appease a party that, in unison, voted against their bill anyway. Was there something worse the Republicans could have done?
        
        Jesus, lefties are pathetic. I'll almost feel bad when we're forced to ship them all to France.
  5. CoyoteBlue 15 years ago

    Oh man, I haven't heard such ardent lefty douchery since I was a college sophmore. Thanks for the laughs.
  6. Tonio 15 years ago
    
    There are many gay people here, Scotch, including me. Why don't you leave it up to us to determine who's a homophobe?
    
    I know that it's hard for you to wrap your head around the fact that there are "oppressed" people who don't need the "help" of people like you, but we can fight our own battles.
    
    ESAD, OK?
Xeones 15 years ago

I'm not the homophobe here. I care about oppressed people.

Hilarious! Not since LoneWacko left have i seen a troll descend so rapidly into self-parody. Quick, Scotch, how many of your friends are gay? How many are black? I know you care about the answers!
1. Scotch Hamilton 15 years ago
  
  I have many gay and black friends. Even some black friends who are gay! Does that blow your bigoted little mind?

Art POG is black. Do you feel he is some sort of traitor, Scotch? Is there something bubbling within you that you wanna say? Wanna get out?
1. Scotch Hamilton 15 years ago
  
  No oppressed person could believe in your insane positions. You just want African-Americans to go back to being slaves. I doubt he's actually African-American.

    Troll rating: 3.8 of 5.
    
    I'm impressed, Scotch.

Scotch, please stop projecting your hate and inability to comprehend nuance onto others. It makes you look a complete fool. It's embarrassing to watch.
1. Scotch Hamilton 15 years ago
  
  Yes, go back to your comforting echo chamber so you can plan your childish fantasies with the rest of the Republicans.

Ok, i get it now. Who's spoofing Scotch? Because, fantastic job.
Scotch Hamilton 15 years ago

Why does it have to be a spoof? Is that just a way to get out of having a real argument? Why don't you grade me on my "trolling"?

Calling any deviation from the party line trolling is so intellectually lazy, but no less than I expect from a bunch of utopians.

  Shut the fuck up, Dan T.
  1. Scotch Hamilton 15 years ago
    
    Very witty. Think that one up all by yourself?
    1. Warty 15 years ago
      
      You're usually more passive than this, Danny. What's wrong?
      1. Scotch Hamilton 15 years ago
        
        Why not just post another link to a crappy metal song? That's the only level of discourse you manage when not cursing uncontrollably.
        
        Warty 15 years ago
        
        Dan T is going to critique the level of discourse, then? All right then. Quick, call me a racist homophobe or something.

How do you spoof something like that? It's self-parody.
SugarFree 15 years ago

Definitely a spoof. It's actually sorta kinda funny almost.

C- spoofing.
1. Warty 15 years ago
  
  It's more fun than the normal Scotch, though. This one has some fight left in him.
  1. SugarFree 15 years ago
    
    We are an irresistible flame for his dumbass moth-itude.
    1. Warty 15 years ago
      
      I'm curious who's behind it, though. Clearly one of the regulars.
      1. JW 15 years ago
        
        I'm voting for Epi. Something about the syntax has his unique ring to it.
        
        Warty 15 years ago
        
        That was my thought too, but it doesn't feel quite right for some reason.
        
        JW 15 years ago
        
        Isn't that the idea for spoof-trolling? I mean, c'mon, it's not like he's smart enough to cover his tracks completely.

SHUT UP DANNY DE...wait, it's not the real holographic simulated evil Scotch?
1. Scotch Hamilton 15 years ago
  
  Even though everyone thinks you're gay, I don't believe it. You'd have more sympathy for oppressed people.
  1. Warty 15 years ago
    
    Insulting yourself to throw us off is just what you'd do if you were spoofing Scotch, Epi.
    1. Episiarch 15 years ago
      
      How is being called gay an insult, you fucking homophobe?
      
      Besides, I would insult NutraSweet, that faggot.
      1. SugarFree 15 years ago
        
        So this is what it sounds like when doves cry. It hurts. It really hurts.
        
        Episiarch 15 years ago
        
        So you admit you listen to Prince.

        I admit to being culturally literate.
        
        Episiarch 15 years ago
        
        Mm'kay, Prince listener. You probably are "culturally literate" about Culture Club too.
        
        SugarFree 15 years ago
        
        I know you played synthesizers in Culture Club from '82-'84. Impressive for a gay 10-year-old.
    2. Scotch Hamilton 15 years ago
      
      Warty is gay. lol.
      1. Warty 15 years ago
        
        What are you, some kind of homophone, you faggot prick?
        
        JW 15 years ago
        
        homophone
        
        **ring-ring**
        "Hello. Who is this?"
        "TEH GAY. HI SAILOR!"
        
        Either that, or it's some kind of Maxwell Smart thing. "99, which end do I talk into again?"
        
        Episiarch 15 years ago
        
        What's a homophone? Someone who sounds gay?
        
        Warty 15 years ago
        
        Yeah. You, faggot. You sound like a fag.
        
        SugarFree 15 years ago
        
        I'm pretty sure "homophone" is the technical term for a Motorola Razor.
        
        Episiarch 15 years ago
        
        And that's it, folks. A winner.

        You fool! He's just deflecting from his iPhone!
        
        Episiarch 15 years ago
        
        Don't be absurd, cockknuckle. Many chicks have jerkPhones, and they're just dumb, not gay.

You idiots will fall for anything. I guess that's how you ended up being libertarians.
