First,
I agree you support the president, however you don't necessarily support his policies. If you feel his policies are wrong, you are obliged to state your beliefs.

Second. Would you have said the same for George Bush?

lovegetpeace,
If America was 'nobody' before WWII, how did our involvement in WWII make any difference whatsoever. We are powerful because we are a Capitalist nation.

LOL oh DaVicrap, this is really funny, is not placenta you moron, is placebo!!

But you Neocons use the word "socialism" as boogey-man figure; no one should profit with our health!! That's why universal health care is goint to be a reality. Kiss goodbye your profits from my medical bills.

Finally DaVicrap, one that we agree on. Greed is the cause of at least the melt down we are going through, but only Capitalism gives the opportunity for this to happen, mostly with the premise of free market. Why health care shouldn't be socialized and avoid companies or individuals to profit (and get greedy) with our health? We won't be the first first wold country to do so and I bet we won't be the last. Even third wold countries have this and I don't see their statistics worse than ours but we pay 10 times more; most of which goes to the pockets of intermediaries.

No DaVicrap is called be a leach and suck everything you can from your neighbor then when anybody theatens to avoid that and make the field even to everybody call it socialism, the boogey man of the 60's and 70's. I doubt it's going to work now and you can kiss goodbye to the health care coming from a good job; soon eveybody is going to be entitled to the same health care not matter if they landed an average job or a good one.

Say also good bye to any earnings you may be getting from my medical bills payment; let's see you leach where you get the money to keep you good private health care while we the socialist enjoy universal health care.

That's the whole point you DaVicap, while should somebody profit with my illnesses? Why should somebody profit with my medical bills? You may call universal health care socialism like using boogy man to make people fear but the elite should be kissing profiting from our health good bye. If you are not part of that elite then you can keep sending them your check, I guess they are not going to argee with stupidity.

If you worked during your lifetime(which I doubt) did you work for free?Why should other people involuntarely pay (through taxes) for health care for people who don't pay taxes?There are already tons of programs to help the poor,which are funded by taxes.The co's involved spend billions on research to keep you alive.

Healthcare is not a Constitutionally given Federal power. As such it should be the states taking care of it.

Does it mean you sold your vote... yes I am calling you idiot DaVicar in case you didn't understand. LOL

The elite 3% is loosing, we the rest 97% are going to get universal health care without intermediaries and without companies profiting with my health, health shouldn't be a free market enterprise you moron; which by the way is only benefiting the same 3%

Well in this case is not wealth distribution, it's health coverage for all at affordable prices. Which means than not only the "elite" can pay for the their medical expenses but everybody too. Why health should be an open market business? Why health related businees should post outrageous earnings and gains? The same for drug companies? Why is that the same medice cost 1/3 or 1/4 in other countries i.e. Canada and Mexico that what the same medicine costs here? Why do we need intermediares between the doctor and the patient? How is possible that even "third world" countries have "socialized" health coverage for all their citizens?

It's understandable that newcons, Rep, Vicar and all of their elitist group try to "scare" the rest of the population with the "socialism" word. It probably worked on the 50's and 60's; not any more. We don't want the elitist to keep abusing of the other 95% or 97% of the population. I hope we can get universal health care without anybody in the middle and knowing they are not profitting with my health. Owners and benificiaries of the this "statu quo" will resist the change but I just to remaind you that the majority voted for a change and this was part of the offered change, we need to support our president to make this change and the only ones that will regret it are these elitist that feel their "turf" threatened. So I think we are on the right path as Cervantes (the Spanish equivalent to Shakespeare)wrote on "El Quijote" -- "dear Sancho if the dogs bark is because we are moving forward".

People like Rush Limbaugh make you almost nostalgic for Richard Nixon.Then again,"Dear Leader" Limbaugh would probably consider Nixon a RINO(Republican in name only)Not Conservative or Nasty Enough for Him.

To all Republicans: It is not so much your ideas,for we can all agree to disagree.It is your Messenger that gets people so Angry.I Liked & Respected Ronald Reagan.Why, because he was a Gentleman.I Liked & Respected Both William F. Buckley & Barry Goldwater, Both Gentlemen. I Like & Respect Both Senators Bob Dole & John McCain,Both American Heros & Gentlemen. Rush Limbaugh is neither a Hero nor is he a Gentleman. He is a Crass, Rude, Mean Spirited, Cold Hearted, Non-Military serving Hypocrit. They don't Make Republicans or Conservatives Like they used to!

I believe that not only is Rush Limbaugh the REAL Head of the Republican Party,He will also be our Defacto President should the Republicans win back the White House anytime soon! Sort of Like Dick Cheney in the Previous Administration!!
