“I fail to see how this is a 'huge blow to Obama', as stated in the above article. He was already a Republican in actions, voting. Big deal. I wish the rest of the Blue Dogs would join him so we know who is real and who is the wolf in sheep's clothing.”

“Everything's a "huge blow to Obama". When we didn't get the Olympics it was a huge blow to Obama. New Orleans not having a perfect season is a "huge blow to Obama". Haven't you heard??? Everything's Obama's fault.”

Nation's Largest Union: Change Health Care Bill Or Else

“Until we have public financing for elections, no donations allowed, and kick out the lobbyists, we must admit it doesn't matter what we want. These Senators voted against every public opinion poll which showed the majority of American's supporting a public option. Democracy is broken.”
WinterParkMom replied on Dec 17, 2009 at 18:57:41
“Don't forget term limits. The fastest way besides public financing is to impose 2 term limits in the senate. That way they are forced to do good work FOR the people if they want to brag about it while campaigning for higher office.”
KimberlyKay replied on Dec 17, 2009 at 18:54:37
“No, democracy is not broken. We just cannot get everything we want, in large part because we have one political party (The Republican party) that is obstinately refusing to govern.
Why? The GOP was (and is) hoping that governing alone the Democratic party would fracture and be unable to solve our Country's many problems. Since most in the GOP think government (and nobody, and nothing else) is our only problem, this probably makes sense to them. Personally, I wish people who believe their job is a joke would quit their job and give it to somebody who would try to fix our long-standing problems each day in the Congress.”

“I never thought I would put this in writing, but I am no longer supporting the Democrats. It is way past time for a third party, and I don't mean tea baggers.
This will be devastating to the Dems in the forthcoming elections. People might have not understood public option, but everyone understood Medicare for 55 on up. Right there they shot themselves in the foot.
Joe Lieberman is seeing to it that thousands of Americans could die due to his self interests.”

“This is a man who will personally be denying medical care to millions of Americans and thereby have blood on his hands. We are 56-57 y.o.'s and desperately need the Medicare option, not to mention I fully endorse a public option. If the Democrats do not smother this man, then I no longer will give them a cent, and I have given quite a bit in the last two years. Enough is enough.”

“By the time any hypothetical legislation comes into force you will both be 65
Of course if there is an all too real possibility that by the time you are 57-58 the Republicans will have made significant gains in both houses
The problem lies not with Democrats or Republicans but with Incumbents. These men and women have spent far too long in their current positions.
A sensible policy might be to always vote for a 3rd party. If there were an alternative to the Democrat-Republican oligopoly we might have a chance at electing some more credible leaders. Then again, maybe not.”
