“That is a depressing story. If men could get pregnant, abortion would never be an issue.
thanks for the link!”

“Interesting article. I find it odd that it fails to acknowledge the move by the Obama Administration to allow for abortions on military posts overseas. But that really wouldn't it help drive home it's point, would it?

The article seems to ignore all the different services every service provides member of either sex if they are abused or in trouble. Be it Command sponsored advocacy programs, civilian counselors or some variant in-between every situation I read about there has a place of redress. I'm not so ignorant as to realize some of those offices will never meet the needs of these people but efforts have been made and continue to be made to make the US military a fair and safe place to be for either sex. Are we their yet. No. But we are getting better every day. And the experiences shared in that article will help point us in the right direction.”

“Wait here it comes,"The Kennedy health care bill"(I think he is spinning in his grave)

Rightwing democrats are corrupt.

“It is your fault(and millions of people like you) that these Democrats have these issues. Big business, insurance, and pharma relationships did not happen overnight. Take responsibility in what has happened.
Don't like it? Vote them out.
Do what it takes to hold the Dems and Repbs responsible.”

“"You really think he was gonna be able to twist Lieberman's or Nelson's arms? "

Maybe not, but I expect him to fight for the things he said he would fight for. I expected him to use the mandate he was given.”

LiberalScoop replied on Dec 23, 2009 at 14:43:43

“He always said he would fight for it. He didn't promise he would win. I wanted him to win the whole pot, but I don't suffer from the delusion that, just because I want it, I will get it. Mandates don't get bills made into law. Cooperation and long hours do. We have zero republican votes after zero republican cooperation, an Independent whose state is home to one of the biggest insurance corporations in the country, if not the world who would stand to lose, financially if he supported the bill and several blue dogs who really should be considered liberal republicans who have all derailed the original bill. The president is not the king and cannot bypass the Constitutionally protected mechanisms of checks and balances. Congress must pass these laws, not the president.”

“I have a few questions for every politician in Washington DC;
1. Understanding that we will never reach 100% efficiency, what is an acceptable amount of American people dying from either lack of, or inadequate healthcare?
2.45,000 Americans die each year from lack of health insurance, what will that number be after the new healthcare bill is fully implemented?
3. America spends twice as much as any other industrialized nation on healthcare, how much smaller will the savings in the bill make that gab?4. The United States of America is ranked #37 in overall healthcare #30 in infant mortality #50 in life exptency(Spelling?), where will the US rank after the healthcare bill is fully implemented?”

“Maybe we should stop teaching other people how to kill.

We could teach them how to teach, or build something, read do math.

Ohh wait, no real money in that is there.”

joand replied on Dec 22, 2009 at 12:28:22

“You're so right. What a waste of time teaching a professional army how to defend a nation. That's so passe now, right? I mean, there's no need to have an army to defend your country, right? Because no one wants to come to your country and take your resources or enslave your people, right? Seriously, we could just leave Afghanistan without an army because Pakistan would never set foot beyond the borders for any reason whatsoever, right? And Iran would never seek to annex Afghanistan at all, right?

Sheesh...what are we all....smoking, no pun intended? We should just take your advice and disband the American military because it is completely unnecessary and just sucks up tax dollars for no reason.”

“So Liberman needs the President to tell him to do what is right for the American people.

Makes you wonder.”

mancoff replied on Dec 21, 2009 at 16:09:52

“No, you don't have to wonder, it just makes positively sure that the Republicans don't even consider the american people in anything they do. To the Republicans the country and the people in it are irrelevant and just tools to getting what they want. Better be sure they don't come in to power soon or we'll go back to where we were a year ago and have to clean up their ugly messes all over again. They never aplogised or tried to make up for what was done to this country for eight years and the disaster they left behind, they never intend to try and make up for it by concentrating on how they can make things better for this country, their only purpose is to their coffers, their power and their ego's. They haven't changed, folks and they don't intend to change and that's why they fear Obama and want him brought down. He already operates differently and they are really, really, scared. That's why they look so pathetically desperate and enraged all the time.”

Pay for War? NO Borrow from China.
Pay for Tax cuts for the rich? NO Borrow from China.
Pay for Bank bailout? No borrow from China.

Can we have healthcare for all Americans and save 54000 lives every year, if we pay for it, instead of borrowing the money? NO

Can we spend money on our infrastructure, that will create needed jobs now and in the future? NO”
