“The founding fathers wanted one body 0f the legislature to be the protector of property, the rich, and the Senate has done their job exceedingly well for all of these years. You are right. We are no longer a true democracy if we ever were. And I taught government for over 30 years. What a waste.
A Parliamentary system might be worth trying.”

“I agree with you Color. I think this health care debate will serve as a good case study for classroom discussion or a book about when our democracy died. What a shame. Capitalism destroys Democracy. Each greedy interest group thinks its interest trumps the general welfare. Dog eat dog capitalism. I've got mine Jack.
I quit. Good luck.”

We should just call ourselves "Corporate America". It is sad to see what the capitalist system has done to democracy.”

“And I am sick of the "no tax money for abortions "argument. Why don't we all get to decide what our taxes go for. I don't want my taxes going for any more stupid wars, stupid religious programs, bonuses for Wall Street crooks, farm subsidies for corporate farms.
I am offended by helping to pay for that wasteful nonsense. Why are only some people's consciences of value?”

“Surely this leaves no doubt that we are not a christian nation as the Publicans like to say.
Christians would be the ones who would be demanding health insurance for all.
What would Jesus do?”

“Jesus wouldn't let anyone die for lack of health insurance, that's for dang sure! Jesus gives life, not taketh away.
We should remind our congressional right-wingin' holy rollers WHAT JESUS WOULD DO. Call 'em out on their hypocrytical holier-than-thow (so-called) "Christian values". They'll do anything to protect wallets...

Top Bailout Recipients Spent $71 Million On Lobbying In Year Since Bailout

“Well we tried the "presidential system" and it is a flop. It has a few good features but it is designed to favor the rich. So why are we surprised when it succeeds (2% of the population own as much as the bottom 90%). If we accept that that is the way it goes we might as well stop this charade of elections and voting. It is like the odds in Vegas, the house will win.
But I still like the idea of Democracy. So before I give up completely, I think we ought to try the Parliamentary system. Most or all of the countries that seem to be doing better than we are are Parliamentary democracies so we should give it a try. No more Alaska 2 votes and California 2 votes in the senate. And on and on-------
We need a long discussion on this idea.”

“I'm tired of that FDR now make me do it cra p. What about his promises? Why do we have to make him keep his promises? I'm 78 and I have voted Democratic for almost 60 years because they promised health care.
If they play bait and switch with me one more time, this will be my last vote period.
I seriously doubt that this is a democracy any more and a failure to pass a good health care bill will
prove it beyond any doubt.”

“If Obama gets a strong health care bill with a strong public option, he will move into the top 5 Presidents immediately. And he still has a lot of time to do a lot of other good things.
But if he fails to get a good health care bill I think he will be considered a failure and will be a one termer.
Too bad. I think he has more talent than any other President we have had.”
