I suppose the rush to war that old Bushie organized to send us into Iraq really made you mad too. Were you out here blogging for equal air time for Democrats to use to counter-act that?

We've already had the revolt, and the people won last November. There's just a few of you wing-nuts left that evidently didn't get the news..probably Faux didn't report on it because it made the GOP look just like they really are.....

Republicans have their own 24/7 propaganda network at Faux Noise, not to mention Limpballs and his right-wing acilytes monopolizing the airwaves. You're lucky to get more than 30 min of decent news on any of the major networks, so *** are they whining about. And for those who don't know any better, there are plenty of socialist countries in Europe that have more than one channel and freedom of the press. Personally, I think the American Nazi party complaining about state controlled media is rather amusing.

RAMOS1129 -- You want to know what is sad? It is your apparent lack of understanding and open mindedness on this particular issue.

Spouting "left wing dribble" isnt doing anyone any good.

RAFTERMAN (whom I commonly refer to as - RAFTERDUMMY) posed a question earlier about why Republicans dont have a plan for healthcare. My response (on behalf of the Republicans because I am one) was simply this:

As politicians, how do you want them to respond? Healthcare is good where it's at, and for this country, it's about as best it could be.

Having said that, what REALLY needs to happen (if you want a true bi-partisan fix for this) is for us to hold ALL politicians accountable. Force them to get rid all lobbyists, make them scrap pork barrel spending, make them prioritize the country's need for spending.....

The result? Plenty of money for healthcare and most likely, not one state in this union would ever be in the red again and would have plenty of money for all other important projects as well.

Stop blaming bush for everything because you dont like him. Look at the situation for what it really is.

The Richard Cheney Presidential Administration used phony stories planted in foreign news outlets claiming that Saddam Hussein had WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION!

All in order to persue OIL and divert Federal Treasury Funds to the Private Secter (with tax cuts) and most of all the fun of WAR, DEATH, and TORTURE!!

Do you people HONESTLY repeat EVERY talking point you are fed? I've often wondered about that, considering that anyone who actually thinks about them couldn't possibly post them with a straight face!

The debate ia already over - nationalized healthcare is a done deal - get used to it. Is this a good thing - of course - private insurance costs are ridiculous(mine are $600/mo). But there are also drawbacks... Discussion should be on how to minimize this downside.

As the government enters into competition with private insurance, such insurance will begin to die out as participants seek to reduce their family expenses. As the ranks of government insured swells, the costs will actually rise, since there will be no quantity discount. Payroll tax is expected to START at 8%, it will climb from there just as SSI and medicare have. As costs escalate, it will become neccessary to ration care, that's the worst part and also inevitable. National healthcare also will play a major role in the perfect storm of economic burdens. A weakened, lathargic, no job-growth economy, higher taxes and unsustainable debt. It all paints a very bleak future ...probably accelerated - but things were going bust anyway.

Well if Bobby does as good the second time as he did the first, that should be a real winner.
