I have to wonder why my eyes went right to number 12. JoeOtterbein Oct 2019 #1

To think we lost both of them within a week or two. Truly sad. George II Oct 2019 #4

We are a better nation because of both of them. JoeOtterbein Oct 2019 #7

Why do this? George II Oct 2019 #5

Why do what? Voltaire2 Oct 2019 #6

Well, since you brought it up, the bill was introduced by John Conyers on February 11, 2003..... George II Oct 2019 #11

Aren't you against MFA? Voltaire2 Oct 2019 #14

Did MFA get enough votes to become law? betsuni Oct 2019 #17

So you support MFA? Voltaire2 Oct 2019 #44

Irrelevant. The point is that John Conyers was the originator of "Medicare for All".... George II Oct 2019 #19

+1 betsuni Oct 2019 #21

Lulzd. Voltaire2 Oct 2019 #22

It's not irrelevant at all melman Oct 2019 #24

We're discussing the Medicare for All bill introduced in February 2003. When have I bashed it? George II Oct 2019 #25

Reiterate all you want melman Oct 2019 #26

That is correct. I have never bashed the 2003 "Medicare for All" bill. George II Oct 2019 #28

Parsing and word games melman Oct 2019 #31

Actually, I don't even think I've ever mentioned the 2003 Medicare for All Act before.... George II Oct 2019 #32

Interesting. sheshe2 Oct 2019 #58

Stop what? melman Oct 2019 #60

Talk about .. sheshe2 Oct 2019 #62

As usual you throw out insults and accusations and say "night'' when challenged melman Oct 2019 #63

you are the one that did not respond when I answered your "challenge" sheshe2 Oct 2019 #64

..... ehrnst Oct 2019 #71

I get it! melman Oct 2019 #73

Well "incessantly" sure is appropriate in this case. ehrnst Oct 2019 #77

Oh and then there is this. Voltaire2 Oct 2019 #33

Indeed......that statement is from 2017... George II Oct 2019 #36

Sanders and Conyers worked on MFA together both in the house and the senate Voltaire2 Oct 2019 #39

John Conyers had a long, distinguished career in the House, but never served in the Senate.... George II Oct 2019 #41

Yes of course Sanders worked with Conyers while SANDERS was in the house and the senate. Voltaire2 Oct 2019 #43

Why do you ask that? I never opposed Conyers' Medicare for All bill. George II Oct 2019 #46

because you very carefully stated that you never opposed the 2003 bill Voltaire2 Oct 2019 #47

I never opposed Conyers' bills. George II Oct 2019 #48

So do you support the current house bill: Voltaire2 Oct 2019 #50

We're not discussing that bill. The OP clearly is about this one: George II Oct 2019 #52

So you don't support the last version Conyers introduced? Voltaire2 Oct 2019 #55

Who said I oppose it? I suspect the "When did you stop beating your wife" question is up next. George II Oct 2019 #56

I'm asking if you supported or opposed the last version of Conyers bill. Voltaire2 Oct 2019 #57

Inasmuch as I've asked several questions of yours and you've basically ignored mine... George II Oct 2019 #59

Odd. Voltaire2 Oct 2019 #68

Two entirely different bills. Different "H.R." numbers, and the easiest way to compare them is... George II Oct 2019 #74

I'm just trying to understand what your position is on MFA, and it is has been very difficult to Voltaire2 Oct 2019 #76

Certainly seems that way judging from posting history melman Oct 2019 #23

I'm sure you can document that, right? George II Oct 2019 #27

No need melman Oct 2019 #29

bwahahahahaha!!!! George II Oct 2019 #30

These things don't matter..... TidalWave46 Oct 2019 #65

Better late than never. betsuni Oct 2019 #15

Lulzd. Voltaire2 Oct 2019 #16

Lulzd. betsuni Oct 2019 #18

So you support MFA? Voltaire2 Oct 2019 #34

No they didn't, and it took Sanders more than 14 months to embrace Conyers' bill. George II Oct 2019 #20

So these three reps are also in the shitter with Bernie? Voltaire2 Oct 2019 #35

Irrelevant. None of those three are running around the country telling people they came up with... George II Oct 2019 #37

Sanders said he invented medicare for all? Voltaire2 Oct 2019 #40

Silence melman Oct 2019 #42

Yeah, I wonder why he's so quiet except for questions. George II Oct 2019 #45

Clever melman Oct 2019 #51

Not only clever, but.... George II Oct 2019 #54

People don't "invent" legislation. George II Oct 2019 #49

well sure they do, but I'm confused about what you meant here: Voltaire2 Oct 2019 #53

He insinuates he was the only one talking about progressive policies all the time: betsuni Oct 2019 #61

"Brought forth" those words do not mean Voltaire2 Oct 2019 #67

Sad indeed melman Oct 2019 #38

28. Kurt V. Oct 2019 #3

I went to high school with him, he was in my home room class. George II Oct 2019 #8

That's pretty cool. wonder if home room still a thing ? :) Kurt V. Oct 2019 #10

Who knows how things work in schools these days, probably not. George II Oct 2019 #12

May he rest in peace mcar Oct 2019 #9

Credit where it's due mcar Oct 2019 #66
