Poll: Voters Reject Health Care Mandate Without Public Option, Medicare Buy-In

“It wasn't only the party of no who threw us under the bus. At least with the repubs you know what they're all about. The quality of representation we have received from our democratic "leaders" over the last 10 years feels more like a 3 card monty scam. Lot's of lip service and hand wringing and then magically somehow the corporate agenda is always passed.
With friends like these...”

“No. The big picture will reveal that congress is made up of 535 individuals with different motives. Ben Nelson represents a state with fewer people than the city I live in. He receives more money from healthcare than he can possibly receive from constituents. He is not alone. Our system of government has checks and balances to avoid legislation from being slammed dunked. This particular legislation should be the priority for all congress people including the party of no. Several years ago the campaign finance laws made it necessary for these people to raise money. That is part of the problem. Many years ago we were convinced that the government was bad and that contributes to the problem. We have a media that leans right because it is owned and controlled by the military industrial complex. We get bad information from the news. The public has been dumbed down into believing the lies they hear on certain networks. It is very complicated and frustrating but it is the system we have and we have to elect better people. That is our only leverage. We go to the ballot box and vote these people out of office.”

“We need to be fluid not solid - if we keep our solidarity by changing party affiliations regularly we're a moving target and a moving target is harder to kill. Neither party truly cares about you or me, they care about your money (tax dollars) and corporate backed power (campaign contributions).”

“Your misplaced party loyalty will be your demise. If all the disaffected libs went republican it would change the entire political landscape. The right would have to change their positions to accomodate their big tent. The Dems would spend some time self reflecting out time in the weeds. The talking heads would explode (yay!), the political class would actually have to work instead of playing their constituents against each other and perpetually groveling for corporate money in exchange for favorable legislation They would not know what to do.”

“Switch parties. If all the disaffected dems left the democratic party and became liberal conservative repubs it would change everything on theground. Neither party is loyal to "their" people so why should the people operate any differently?
We can't fight the corporatocracy, they are in control. We can skewer their "base" assumptions and force change from the inside out.”

“There will never be more than two parties allowed in the US. Switch parties and watch the status quo explode. We cannot affect change as individuals when the almighty dollar owns the political players at all levels. It's time for something shocking, drastic and non violent.”

The Lessons of Maine

“The ONLY way the GLTG community will ever be accepted and allowed the same rights as everyone else is granted in America is when they ( the GLTG community members) take a "fiscal" approach.
Rather than spending money supporting toothless legislation movements that are always shot down by big $$, boycott the offending and the offensive.
Vote with your dollars.
More importantly, let them know they lost revenue every time you choose another option.
Boycott Main, Main products, Main services, Main industry.
Who needs 'em?
They will change their minds when it hit's their pocketbooks.
They always do.
It is the American way after all.”

“About 25 years ago in Illinois, a law was passed refusing a marriage license to people unless they took an HIV test. Back then they cost $250 and wasn't covered by insurance.
Maine is unique in that it is the only state in this region where same-sex couples cannot marry. If same-sex couples living in Maine want to marry, cross the border. Eventually, people will realize the loss in revenue and be more receptive. Look at Ohio - they passed a referendum legalizing gambling yesterday. It's all about the money, after all.”

“So we're getting punked and tossed under the bus by our own team after all this sound and fury - what a surprise.
OK, so now we know without a doubt, "our" system of governance no longer reflects the majority of voting Americans. It's no longer "our" government, it's "their" government.
It makes little difference to me who is producing the kabuki.
Time to re register as an independent and vote out all incumbents.”

“Are you willing to give up your Medicare or VA care ( or whatever socialized service you receive as a vet) and/or your social security to save America from all those progressive freeloaders? What about the conservative freeloaders? Corporate freeloaders?

We have all seen what "trickle down" policies and politics has done, we tried the conservative approach for decades and it landed us where we are today, The so called fiscally responsible conservative Bush administration managed to give the Clinton surplus to the top Bush administration's supporting uber income achievers ( you know, his "base") and still bankrupted the country.
If we are to prevail financially, we will need a new and different approach to health care that is truly fair, equitable and financially balanced.
Doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results is just plain CRAZY.”
