Porn sites must have government health warning in Texas from September 1st::Just when we didn’t think the state of Texas could get any more wacko on tech policy, this latest bill really suggests otherwise.

You ever notice how the republicans can’t shut up about how much they hate Obamacare, but whenever they have enough seats to end it, they don’t? It’s because they secretly like it (because it’s their plan) but they just don’t want to give Obama or the other Democrats credit for passing it.

Yes, most Democrats are right wing. They take money from medical, insurance, and banks who would very much like to prevent single payer.

Yes, I vote Democratic but I have no illusions that they’re left of center 'cept maybe Bernie.

Why you put “all Dems are right wing” in quotes when what I said is that most are. Which is true. American politics are very far right of centre economically by the rest of the world’s standards.
