“I suppose that was about as accidental as the GOP spending the last 50 years preventing health insurance reform, thereby leaving millions of Americans without.
They didn't mean to do it. Right?”

“Health insurance reform? The repubs have been blocking people's access to a financial product? Doesn't make sense. Did you mean single-payer health care?”

“Your advise is correct and well received, but these are things that should have already happened.
How do you undo the cronyism with Wall Street at this point?
How do you undo the lack of having focused on jobs & mortgage relief in favor of passing a health insurance reform bill which accomplishes little and most of us don't want (in current form).
Seems to me (staunch liberal base) these things won't be forgotten nor forgiven quickly.”

“I want to take from you no more than what you are refusing others. You are actually spending time in your life trying to refuse health care to fellow Americans; people who lost their health care due to lose of work, or pre-existing conditions, and then there are those who are simply unable to pay.
If you are really that selfish and, more importantly, uneducated as to how a society functions to solve common problems (once again, you do know what a common problem is?), you shouldn't be allowed that which you are refusing the less fortunate. Should you?”

“Why don't you get it? Even those who are ensured right now are paying way, way more than they should have to. It's not just about the uninsured, nor the helpless.
If I told you the guy in the next town was allowed to buy a new car for $20k, but you the best you will be able to do is $25k, you would be upset, right? So why are so many people so happy to pay these ridiculous prices for health insurance, and watch their premiums rise and rise and rise? Every other country in the whole world pays far, far less for their insurance, and in most of them they can't be dropped for preexisting conditions, can't go bankrupt because of health care bills, because they don't get the bill.”

“There's no property involved in health insurance. Please learn something about what you are commenting about before commenting.
We would be taking from you what you are refusing others. If you don't want to participate in a society, leave. This is a society, which means we work together to solve common problems. This is a common problem, becoming more common each day. It needs to be solved through a common effort, not by insisting everyone get their own. That's not a society, and if that's what you want, go find it (somewhere else).”

“I don't believe that is correct in this case. If these people wanted republicans they would have voted for them. I think they were hoping against hope that their democrats would provide them with health care. Remember that just because the teabaggers are the most vocal doesn't mean they are in the majority. Most people in these districts are probably the ones that need the help the most. No matter your political idealogy your familys welfare comes first.”

“Well, I think the Hoffman loss proves something that the tea partiers are likely to ignore.
1) Even in a year where Republican voters typically do better (non Presidential election years), the liberal Democrat still won where registered Republican voters outnumbered Democrats by 45,000.
2) That the Republicans will take the governorships to mean that their movement is working, even when the NJ governor ratings were horrible (29%, that would mean many Democrats didn't like him), and Virginia is likely going to be a battleground state for years to come
3) The youth voters and minority voters tend not to vote as often as Republicans (who tend to have more senior voters, who reliably show up at every election). Logistically, older voters tend to be retired and not working a full time job, therefore having time to vote. Most of the poll workers in my state are seniors.”
