Joe Lieberman's Anti-Public Option Rationale Keeps Shifting

Commented Nov 24, 2009 at 09:00:13 in Politics

“His rationale keeps changing because he is a saboteur, a Republican in Democrat clothing. His real motive is to sandbag the Democratic party in order to give power back to his beloved Republicans.”

“Agreed. There is an interesting Republican presidential candidate flying under the radar someplace. Think it might be Jeb? Shrub certainly supported Israel enough to earn a pay-back.”

“It is highly irresponsible for this article to bring up Terri Schiavo without also noting that her autopsy verified that she was indeed brain dead.

We should use science for better diagnosis: let's get it right. However, I am sure it is 100 times more common for families to falsely believe there is consciousness when there isn't any, then for them to be correct. False hope can be a cruel thing as well.”

Byron Dorgan's Financial Plan: Common Sense From The Senator Who Saw This Coming

Commented Nov 12, 2009 at 16:42:37 in Politics

“Thanks for dredging up inconvenient history. I'm sick of the "no one could have anticipated" defense: lots of people anticipated the consequences of financial deregulation. (Go to the library and read an issue of The Nation or Dollars & Sense magazine from the time, for example.) But the faith-based economic-religion of the free-marketeers will never bother with the historical record of unregulated capitalism.

And most of the politicians who are not that stupid are engaging in premeditated theft. Sadly, they know they will never pay for their crimes. John McCain, the ringleader of the Keating 5 who caused the Savings and Loan collapse and bail out, could run for President last year, and never even have the subject brought up by the mainstream media.”

The word militia is only mentioned to justify why the people should have this right.”
