“how come it's always a phone interview or an obscure paper someone admits to the right's not coming to
the table.”

“WTF

maybe she should use a driver provided by the State

It's not like we have a 26bb budget deficit”

“that would be a good Idea but if they are listening to Sara Palin and fox news they are probably not listening or viewing whitehouse.gov”

“If people can get death panels from end of life care!

then they can get free healthcare out of Public Option

not everyone is informed as most readers of this post.”

“This is completely Political to try to put the Public Option in now

the conservative democrats will vote against it and they the liberals will be up in Arms. They will try again on the Senate floor and then will be added in conference committee.”

“There should be a tax increase or a gas tax to pay for past, present and future operations. We need at least 150k more in the Army and Marines. If we can't have a draft to do battle they can certainly to paperwork and civil deffense drill in the USA. Have a rapid deploy force that knows they are the first ones out and pay them like that so we have them all under the Uniform Military code of Justice. If there is a draft
10% of the privelage class the top 10% and the politicians kids go first. Time for people to earn their freedom not just whine about it over healthcare and climate change. Leaving Afghanistan with out Osama Bin Laden is failure he and his organization is the enemy but some how Bush, the Oil industry and the usual amount of American stupidity seem to have forgotten the guy who came into our largest city and killed 3000 people with the world watching and we haven't really done a thing about it but kill a bunch of rural Iraqi's and Afghans. Al Qaeda isn't an army that defends territory they are an Idea so lame political solution and profiteering which is what the problem is here isn't going to get rid of him. Your going to have get out out of your humvies and go in that cave and hunt them.”

“I am still not sure the public option is going to be everything those who are for it says it is. Why don't the just cap the rate of increase and If they violate the cap then the public option goes into play.”

“excellent point, but it's not socialsim when a republican sends the checks”

“being attacked by the left can be useful to the president”

“ok that was 28% of republicans and another 30 percent aren't sure

It's not that they believe that

there is a fringe on the right that will not accept a legitimate democratic president and there is some excuse not recognize him.

He has a great family and sleeps with his wife.

made his money in a way that puts him above scuitiney.”

“Why are so many liberals married to this public option. It was not part of the campaign and not necessarily what we voted for. If you put in the co-ops which will be government sponsored but owned by the policy holders that should be good enough. We need a pathway to success for those of us who have pre-existing conditions or whom cannot afford it or both. That is what they should be focussing on. While end of life care, living wills should be part of everyone's health care just take it out of the bill along with paying for abortions. Many people think their freedom is being taken away even though it's not. There freedom was given away in the patriot act. There is a natural resistance to having the federal government dictate even when it's actually a good idea. Fix the insurance companies loop wholes and discrimination, subsidies for those who needed figure out a way to pay for it or how to tax to do it and let's get it over with and work on implementation, execution, and cost reduction through wellness and modifying our lifestyles.”

“where will the money come for that

that's unrealistic there is not going to be a public option at least not right away

this will take years to implement

it took 3 months to get the stimulus out”

“I wonder why to even bother to enter this debate I know the real reason they are on the conspiracy. But you don't have a conspiracy theory unless you can show that his mother was out of the country. But if I were going to engage in this fantasy conspiracy theory
1st did his mother have a passport
did she ever apply for a Visa for Kenya?
can anyone prove she was ever out of the country at this time?
if you can't answer those three questions then you have nothing
and why would a pregnant woman be taking a 24 hr plane flight between stops and changing planes to have her kid in Kenya or any where else?
Why would his father want him born in Kenya when it was clear he came to America for the opportunity.
what makes this so ludicrous as black man the concept of a black president is not something I thought of as a possible other than on 24 and end of the world movies. There is no way in 1961 his parents thought he could do that which is why she moved her family to Hawaii. I think after the assassination of JFK we have lost trust and engaged in conspiracy theories.”

“you can't have your cake and eat it too. Someone has to pay for it
The problem the Democrats have is they have nobody in sales on their team
stating how shameful it is to have 50 million people uninsured that doesn't work
you have to make the case to those who have it What's in it for them
they should have a 3 x 5 card with what it means if you have it, if you don't , if you been denied, public option with bullet points and send that out and give out at town halls.
two as stated Your already paying for universal care through the emergency room but your not getting universal results.
of the industrialized world while we may have the best Health systems available we are dead last in outcomes.
as a economic matter people are trapped in jobs because of the benefits- twice my mother during the 80's didn't take a higher paying job perhaps with better opportunities because of healthcare those companies were acquired by hostile takeover and let go. I don't object to that that's the capitalistic way but she should had the opportunity to move herself and have a much better lifestyle. Healthcare benefits shouldn't be the reason you stay at company it should be about the long term opportunities with your personal goals. At the end of the day in 1776 healthcare wasn't that good and everyone could afford it with a couple chickens or a cow.”

“State governments that don't anticipate downturns in the economy when they are legally required to balance their budget and don't have the option to borrow should voted out. What were they doing when housing prices were booming and taxes were flowing in, Did they not put anything aside. I have no problem taxing oil companies and it should be that way if they are using state natural resources to provide services needed here.

And if you hated the way education was going before then you are going to hate this

also, with all the state and federal budget pressures there is an anger against illegal aliens that is perculating all over the country.

It would help if they had majority rules by having a 2/3 majority to pass a budget it allows the few to control the many and not for the betterment for all in general.”

“sharpening pencils at the state department doesn't qualify you for anything!”

“Like most Californians the state of California depends on growth and high incomes to support the spending. The enemy may not be the Governor, the democrats or the republicans but the structure. The Budget requires a 2/3rd's vote that's ludicrous. How can you pass any real reform and how can the Governor be that big a player when the vote required is veto proof. What happened to majority rule.”

“Interesting he would call Rob Emmanuel a self hating Jew when as an American he went to Israel and join the Israeli defense forces.”

“if you are redoing a house and decide on what you are going to do you hire the painters

you don't say it hasn't worked or you need new plans when they have only painted the door and say you need to start over. I supported the first one a second would take too long to pass and even longer to administer. If they do it should be something like a payroll tax holiday where it can hit immediately and cut
the cost of employing people and ad more to the workers payroll or lesson pay cuts.”

“you know that statement is just plain stupid ok you say that about tax increases or benefit cuts. you don't say it about that you just say no comment or no!!!”

“somebody has gotten to him because he is backing off her”

“so basically you want him to take coverage from 80 percent of the people eliminate health insurance companies and do it in the middle of a recession. Brilliant
THAT WOULD BE SOCIALISM
and for healthcare that would be fine with me but not only is it not realistic its not feasible
if that was his plan then why did he let Hillary beat his head in over it during the primary”

“Memo to team Sarah

YOU LOST THE ELECTION AND PRINCIPALLY BECAUSE YOU WERE TO DIVISIVE, SIMPLISTIC AND UNPREPARED TO ANSWER BASIC QUESTIONS.

When you loose you don't get to pick anything

if there is a management reason why she shouldn't be confirmed bring it up otherwise

shut up and get in the back of the bus!”

“I find the most intersting sign of someone wanting their taxes cut which they have and not cutting defense which hasn't been cut. These people really need to do their own research.”

“why are in people in Arizona slow”
