Obama is in trouble, among other reasons, because there are thousands of voices out there dumping on the health bill, and we hear by and large only one voice defending it. Where is the cabinet? The VP? The elected Democrats who truly believe in it? I do not recall a more one-sided debate since I heard one hand clapping.

Now, Dems have lost credibility to the point that people don't even believe that they aren't crying wolf about the "threats" from the Right.
Credibility is gone.
Landreau and all the other Democrats to vote for his bill, when he gave preference to the unions;
he lost credibility when he refused to listen to the American people and twisted the arms of
his own party to vote for this bill.
We cannot sanction lies, bribery and manipulation, Chicago mob-style politics, anymore.
Get off this site and go promote your book somewhere else! Why is HuffPo giving you a platform is beyond me.
Single payer is not possible at this time. The arguments in favor of it have not been made.
Or rather, the arguments have only been made by people the MSM ignores (ie Ralph Nader).
When one is not justifiably proud of what one has done--and how can our elected representatives be proud of themselves for handing a huge windfall to the same insurers that have ripped off consumers and allowed even those who paid premiums for years to die for lack of coverage?--one tends to change the subject and not pat himself or herself on the back ...
(Yes, I know. The bill will give millions of Americans access to care for the first time. And gas that costs $10 per gallon will get me wherever I have to go.)
1) Those who want change. They hate this bill because it makes the current system bigger without any real change.
2) Those who want to make the current system more profitable. That would be Obama, the Democrats, and the Insurance industry. They got what they wanted.
3) Those who oppose anything the Democrats might do. These are anyone who listens to Fox news and votes republican.
Right now 1 is being told to shut up and support the president while he kicks their principles and their country to the curb. 3 is just being laughed at except for when they get violent.
The "One hand clapping" is the one hand getting richer out of all this. And that's the insurance industry.
Your argument is absurd!
But keep living in that LALA Land, we wont miss you!
heh
Grayson is an incredibly brave guy.
He does have one of those tailor made "safe seats"
His seat was in Republican hands for 24 straight years before he took it, and he won with only 52% of the Vote.
On top of that the baggers are gunning for him big time.
Sure wish Huff Post would get an edit function.
