Perhaps if there was more whining in Canada, you wouldn't have such a pathetic, socialist government and a crappy health care system.
We don't want a Canadian system in the United States.

At first I thought perhaps you were sincere but misguided.
After that ridiculous statement I can see you're not interested in real debate or even truth for that matter.
Put on some pants. Leave your mother's basement. Stop chain smoking. Put down the Doritos. Work at McDonald's if you have to. But for god's sake expose yourself to the real world and stop letting Fox and Friends liquify what little grey matter you actually have.
" I was presiding over the Senate and when you’re presiding you really have no choice on what to do. The Leader, the Majority Leader, is the leader of the Senate, and he gave me — gave all of us today who were presiding — instructions that no one was to speak over 10 minutes, on either side of the aisle. …
Usually you’re allowed to do this, but just today we were told not to let it happen because there’s been some attempt to string out the debate. So I really just had no choice, and Joe knew what I was doing. Joe was surprised, but later figured out what I was doing. It was just fine. …
Joe was actually speaking on an amendment to the bill that I am totally in favor of. I agreed with every word he said for the entire 10 minutes [video]. I think he probably had only, like, 30 seconds left, and I just was kind of– he didn’t take it personally at all."
Video clips of the exchange suggested Franken was sticking it to Lieberman in retribution for the Connecticut independent exploiting his swing-vote status on the pending health-care reform bill.
...
But with Franken’s explanation, Thursday’s incident appears to fall into the category of much-ado-about-something-procedural, as happened last July when U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann appeared to advance the birther cause by objecting to a resolution that recognized Hawaii as President Obama’s birthplace.

Franken's Anti-Rape Amendment Survives
An amendment that would prevent the government from working with contractors who deny victims of sexual assault the right to bring their case in court has survived attempts to dull its impact and seems poised to become law...
The controversial Title VII provision, which would allow victims of assault to sue the employers of the alleged perpetrator and not just the perpetrator himself or herself, remains in the bill...
The amendment was initially added to the defense appropriations bill on October 21, 2009 by a 68 to 30 vote. Despite wide support for the measure (and ridicule for the 30 Republicans who opposed it) both the Obama administration's Department of Defense and Chairman Inouye raised concerns while the legislation was being considered in conference committee. Attempts to strip it of the Title VII provision were met with public outcry, which a Senate source familiar with the negotiations says was partially responsible for its ultimate passage.

Take a good look all you progressives out in la la land. This is the idea of change they have in mind does it sit well with you? And if it does I truly feel sorry for you. The disrespect he is showing is I fear how they for the most part feel about anyone who dissents. AL is a piece of sh*t

You are right, we should be pining for the dignity and respect of Dick Cheney telling reps to "Go F*** yourself." Or maybe you could read any of the many many links showing this being done by the right all over the place too.
