This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive. ~

Subject:Mandate cough drops!
TBH, the repubs should have stuck to this type of argument.
There should be no difference between birth control and, say, blood pressure pills or diabetes medications. The gov't should cover all or nothing.
But Obama knew he could bait the repubs into misogynistic woman-hating attacks vs. The Pill, thus justifying gov't coverage of all drugs. If Rush & friends had resisted the urge, we could have had a real debate on the role of gov't in health care. (which i remain ambivalent to overall. but if we cover any meds at all, we should cover the Pill because the costs of the Pill <<< the costs of a pregnancy brought to term.)
