Democrats to Obama: You Lie!

[Soul Crusher]

DU is starting to be like FR!

[240 is Back]

yeah, but many on DU are self-proclaimed libs.  They tend to be a tad dramatic, just as many on the far-right are.  You're just as likely to hear "those who refuse to work DESERVE FREE EDUCATION!" from the far left, as you are "OBAMA IS A KENYAN HERE TO DESTORY OUR VALUES!" from a far-right guy.

In other words, the far left are drama queens.  They'll vote obama in 2012 because they'll get all worked up over whoever the GOp sends out.  They wont show in 2010 tho.

They really are pissed off about Geithner & the health care debacle.

but many of them are pissed that obama only got 60% of what he wanted.  they're pissed off there is no pub option, etc.

It's really more like thirds.  1/3 want no bill.  1/3 are okay with this bill.  1/3 want major lib bill.


So obama will end up with - as polls originally showed - the majority of americans wanting some kind of bill.  And as reagan said, in Dc, getting 60% of what you want on a bill, is a win.

It seams that the administration wants this pushed more for a talking point than for getting it right the first time.  Sad thing is, I think they could've done this the right way and given us great health reform.

Amen - they want the talking point and could care less how they hobble together a bill.

Cost control, tort reform, etc.... is all that is needed to "fix" healthcare.  Both parties had/have no clue and are just making things much worse.

I believe this probably is just some last minute effort to put pressure on Nelson and Lieberman to get the public option included.

Anyone here can give me one single reason why there should not be a public option BTW?

The Federal Government has no buisness doing any of this bullshit, it is not within their constitutional authority. Just look at the mess they made in the first place, and now we are going to rely on the same entity to fix it?

You want a reason why their should be no public option?1) Healthcare is not a right, it is a service that you have to pay a trained professional for.
2) it is unconstitutional
3) The government can't do anything without it costing 10x what they said it would.

How about the fact that govt is broke, incompetent, incapable, and has no business getting involved in this?
