“Last night's Frontline looked at health care in other countries. It's not all single payer, but there is consistently more government regulation, all with better results than ours.

A problem is we're such know-it-alls. We won't learn from others' mistakes and successes.

Taiwan was in a situation similar to ours. They researched what other countries were doing, then used those ideas in designing their own system. That's only smart, but you have to let go of country-ego.”

“Bruja,

Obama NEVER endorsed single payer. Not even close. What campaign were you following?”

“Bruja,

Single Payer has NO chance of passing. This bill can be a start in that direction but Single Payer has no chance. Why waste time on it. Next year the Republican's are going to gain seats in the Congress. Even without the economy, the party out of power gains seats in off year elections. If it does not happen this year or next there will be NO reform.”

“why insult animals? sub-humans is more accurate...”

“Sex orgies? Orgies are consensual. Rape is not.”

“An orgy is where consenting people get together. This wasn't an orgy this was a r a p e.”

“Agreed, Fateh! Dan's article great!!
Outside U.S. Moore's film is viewed like a Frank Capra populist movie and brings to mind the true art of film-making to stir and inspire with ordinary heroes. The kind of American hero that is nonexistent Bush The Barbarian. Remember Mr. Smith Goes to Washington? Now, " Michael Moore goes to Hollywood" and makes a documentary for the People!

In Canada, Capitalism is raising a stir and at the TIF it was attended to the point we had to wait outside for hours! Rep. Marcy Kaptur is a real hero and so's Elizabeth Warren, the overseer of the robber barrons who are now taking their jets to Europe while people are being evicted.

BROOKSLEY BORN, the woman who chaired the FCTC and warned Alan Greenspan about the fianancial "Fraud" that would ruin the nation, was mistreated by the sexist Greenspan and the boys in the green leather club and she resigned. Michael should have included that great prophet! Only mistake! The woman was a respected lawyer who wrote memos to everyone in l996-7. No one would listen. Greenspan and Rubin (who's been sued for fraud for millions!) couldn't wait to get rid of the lady....

Hillary Clinton said during the primary,she had a plan for people dealing with foreclosures. It was sensible, specific--unlike whatever Obama has (or NOT) done! Americans deserved a more mature, knowledgeable President with guts--not baritone rhetoric. Thank Zeus Mike Moore's around,eh?!”

“Your viewpoint on health care as a right could not be stronger. Keep it up!”

“No, no, and NO! I just know you didn't call Obama a half/partial sellout, did you? We must believe in the audacity to hope that Obama will change the change that is upon us. For we are a few pennies short and it looks like it's going to get mighty expensive really soon.
Brother, can you spare a dollar?”

“Love your post and your name. "Aye que bonito es volar......" Fanned for your compassion and downright decency.”

“My sister is a nurse, also. The spread of communicable diseases looms large if we're not able to secure healthcare for ALL our citizens. The same person you want to deny healthcare for, can be the person sitting next to you in a movie theatre suffering from unchecked TB.”

“Go back and read the blurb. It said in bold letters that the money in the Medicare bill was to compensate hospitals for treating illegals. I agree with you that this is the humane thing to do. But this is a guy who has been running around his district whipping up hatred for illegal aliens and then screamed that the president was lying when the latter, truthfully, said that the proposed health care bill explicitly excludes illegals (and Section 246 of the proposed House bill explicitly excludes illegals). I don't think Wilson has a "moral and decent" bone in his political body.”

“Because Fox News rules all cable news rating dip sh**! You just keep watching Olbermann with the other 10 people.”

“You should actually read the article. The White House says they made no such request...”

“Your wrote exactly what I was just going to write ~”

“If we pay the contractors 10 times what we pay our service people, and the number of contractors outnumber the number of actual U.S. troops in Iraq, how is that saving us money? Just wondering. I'm not an economist or mathematician, but that might be the reason this war is costing so much.......that and the lube for these guys!”

“" If people want to bear arms, they should have to carry weapons from that era. "

Apply that same logic to the 1st Amendment freedom of speech and press.

We'll be by to confiscate your computer, phone, TV, and radio later today.”

“Are you deliberately behaving in a moronic fashion? There were also no computers, so must we revert to hand-operated printing presses to exercise our First Amendment Right?
Semper fi”

Unconstituional.”

“Can you pass laws that guarantee - GUARANTEE - that criminals won't be able to acquire guns? (Hint - the answer is No, I can't). Until you can, I will continue to carry my 9mm, concealed. If you are in a jam, you better hope that someone just like me is near by to protect your sorry butt., cause the police won't get there in time.”

“This is very important subject you've brought up, it needs addressing. The founding fathers never imagined this venue for disscusion, should it not be covered under the 1st ammendment?”

“As the justices found in district of Columbia v. Heller, that would be like the first ammendment being reduced to pamphlets and newspapers. I don't disagree about banning guns at political rallys, or sporting events(not gun related), or anywhere people chose to vote against right to carry, but untill we do the right remains.”

“Way to go Barney....her comments were vile and contemptible. She probably couldn't define nazism?”
