“Whenever the government privatizes any aspect of the government, the costs skyrocket. The private sector is greedy and find any reason to raise prices. Even to use torte reform as an argument is a load! Judgments are down, but the cost of malpractice insurance keeps skyrocketing! It's not the lawsuits that are driving those costs up, but again -- it's the private insurance companies. And they'd just love to restrict our right to hold pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, and doctors accountable for mistakes or outright negligence.”

“If Fedex Freight can't get a package to a place at the guaranteed time, they change the time, so they can say it was delivered on time!

Also, you can mail a letter for 42 cents, but UPS and Fedex charge up to 500 times more.

The post office is in trouble because of technology -- they've been around for hundreds of years and are now in trouble because people no longer send letters, but use email. Most people pay their bills online. To use them as an argument is disingenuous.

Republicans always scream about how the government can't run anything, then get elected and prove it!”

“That will really help the unemployed. If you don't have a job you don't pay taxes. The fact is that people need to start working. I know that companies here in Colorado are doing their best to keep from hiring, even if it means paying tons of overtime. My husband and I are working tons of hours, and I know we are lucky to be working. But everyone at my job is so stressed out and injuries have gone way up at my husband's company because people are so exhausted from 60+ hour weeks.

The big corporations want to keep unemployment down, because then they can keep salaries down, and profits high. The banks are making more money borrowing money from the fed at 0% and using it to gamble, so why would they want to lend to small business?

Small business was gutted by the Bush administration. He gave the contracts that were supposed to go to small businesses to those subsidiaries of big corporations, which is not supposed to happen. I don't know if that practice has changed, but the Small Business Association was all but ignored by Bush!”

“The republicans had no problem spending our tax dollars to give Iraq universal health care! They all voted for that. Imagine, spending all that money to liberate a country from tyranny, then giving them commie, socialist, nazi health care!

Go figure!”

“He's not a republican any more, so he doesn't have to apologize to anyone!”

“They probably just quit her before she quit them!”

“I know it's hard for republicans to understand what it takes to lower the deficit. That's why any republican who has been elected president in the last 50+ years has raised the deficit. They don't know how to lower it. Thus, their opinions on deficit lowering measures are irrelevant. Much like their opinions on everything else -- especially the economy!”

“Yes, unfortunately you will no longer be able to feel superior to those poor people who are dying because they couldn't go to the doctor! How sad for you!”

“My husband has great health insurance and we pay a small premium; his employer pays the rest. From what I understand the senate bill allows health insurance to charge 3 times more for older customers, and we are older, but no close to 65. If that's the case, our insurance premiums will be going up and we can be pay out up to 8% of our income which would be over $4000 more a year than what we pay right now. Since we're living paycheck to paycheck, just like everyone else, that would probably break us!

If that is the case, and we are mandated to buy insurance from the insurance cartel, we will probably drop it and pay the fine since it will be cheaper. We've thought of all the scenarios if one of us should get sick, including divorcing and taking the other person off of our house, so we don't lose everything we have. I don't know what we'll do if we both should get sick -- I suppose lose everything and go bankrupt!

If that's the case, please tell me how this flaming piece of crap would help us? It won't, and there are many people out there are in the same shape as we are. We both take medications, but our doctor told us that we could send our prescription through mail order to Canada, and it would be affordable.”

“Oh no -- she quit again!”

“I am livid -- Obama has failed, or been dishonest either way you look at it!

I was so happy last December, and I loved this president.

I despise him now! He failed the American people, and he works for the corporations. They are going to run 2010 by saying republicans will take us back to Bush's policies. You have to change Bush's policies for that to be true!”

“Why should anyone pay taxes if they are denied the civil rights that everyone else has in our country? I know I would raise a fit if I couldn't be married to my husband -- if someone told me I didn't have the right!

This is ridiculous! The right demonizing "the gays" because they will destroy marriage between a man and a woman? Seriously? Seems to me that I've seen plenty of them on the right destroying their own marriage just fine on their own!”

“We know hell is real -- we lived it 2000 - 2008!”

“Because we ask him to do what he told us he was going to do?

By the way, are Progressives the new ACORN?”

“Every time I hear him referred to as the messiah, it's a republican talking.”

“We know for sure hell is real, because we live it every time a republican takes the whitehouse!”

“Oh come on -- tax cuts for the wealthy, trickle down for the rest of us!”

“Oh no -- redistributing the wealth upward is capitalism, paying a decent living wage to 95% of Americans is socialism!”

“But republicans tell me it's the democrat's fault! How can it be that it was the Bush administration that caused this whole mess, with republicans voting with him 90% of the time?

Republicans can't have that -- they are the fiscally conservative party, even though historically, republicans have been the party that expands the deficit and increases the debt! Ignore facts, it's not their fault!”

“We're all really mad! I know I am!”

“Maybe if they ask the banks really nicely, they will start lending and doing the right thing! Or maybe Obama should shame them into doing the right thing! Or even better,and this will probably work, they should lend them billions for zero percent interest! Banks can always be trusted to do the right thing!

Look how they've helped our economy! And even now, they've learned their lesson and have stopped doing the things that caused the financial meltdown!

In an opposite world!”

“I don't ever remember in my life such a blantantly false campaign. The crap about he's playing chess when everyone else was playing checkers is probably true! The progressives were playing checkers hoping for change -- Obama was playing chess with his plan to sell us out and try to convince us it's good for us!

LIAR

One and done!”

“So if they're worried about it being unsafe to import drugs, are they telling me the medication that pharmaceutical companies are importing are unsafe? Then they are admitting that they are not keeping Americans safe, right?

The medication I take every day is made in Mexico, should I stop taking it, since they say it's unsafe?”

“Republicans are better? They put us here!”

“If there's no change, what the hell are you complaining about? He's doing everything republicans have done in the past -- why do you think we're so angry? We thought we elected democrats -- instead we got your party!

I wouldn't brag if I were you -- the only thing you've got going for you is that republicans will at least look you in the eye and tell you they protect the interests of the people who are $crewing you! They have no interest in the American people and they make no secret about it -- it's why we're in the mess we're in right now and you're bragging that there's no change!”
