As a Senator the guy seems to have some balls and conviction. Something in short supply in the senate.

Do you really want to just ignore the truth? The Dem’s tried to claims all the citizens at the health care town halls in opposition to their legislation were paid by insurance.

The Dem’s tried to claim the Tea Party movers were all paid by lobbyists and when that didn’t work…..

The Dem’s keep using Big Pharmma, Insurance, Doctors as their political tools, saying what ever they want when they already assured private deals and they agreed to spend hundreds of billions on ads to promote the health care bill…as they rushed out a new one I’m sure you saw “support this senate bill”

It’s all been reported. But if you wish to ignore this fine.

Now, the insurance companies are getting their way with big pharma and the rest. No public option, but mandates for everyone to buy.

They were using the same trick like Obama did on everything else. Use the language, but make private assurances “don’t worry, it’s campaign rhetoric”.

And that’s all you bough hObama.

I might not like Franken’s politics, but I give him credit for running and entering the arena.

Most of the other talking heads care more for their wallets and rating than us…..

Unless some manner of civility is restored, this country will eventually split itself apart. (If it already hasn’t.)

Gee, my cheek itches…think I’ll scratch it with a certain finger in donjo’s general direction…

The proliferation of right wing savage radio attacks has produced a back lash of left wingers who are doing the same – basically in defense. And this has been compounded by the internet.

Unless some manner of civility is restored, this country will eventually split itself apart. (If it already hasn’t.)

Perpetual liars continuously keep repeating the same things over and over until the lie becomes accepted.

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to decide which liar to believe.

Admin, do you think you could remove this moron’s post?

And your comment about gassing is absolutely dispicable.

“Say what you will, but Joe Lieberman is doing exactly what Obama and Rahm Emanuel want him to do.”

Absolutely agree. And Russ Feingold said the same thing. You want to point fingers? Point them at the WH and his advisors. This is not unlike the financial reform bill that was gutted before it ever left committee. You’re telling me the POTUS can’t work the phones, twist some arms to get what he wants, what he demands? And why not use the bully pulpit and speak directly to the public in clear, specific terms?

If the President wanted to, he would have done it already. So far, he’s consistently covered the backs of Wall St. and the healthcare/pharma industry.

He does not have the backs of the American public. He has the backs of his own financiers.

And people are beginning to realize that.

We are financially in bad shape in this country already and simply cannot afford to tax the remaining working stiffs any more.

No, the government needs to stay out of my medical well being and stick with what they are constitutionally entitled to mandate upon the citizens.

Apart from my strong disagreement of your opinion I appreciate your military service–thank you!
