“I disagree I believe he meant America and said that clearly. If he meant universe, he would have said it. I think he missed the Dutch part of the story.”

I'm more inclined to believe the poster meant society in general. Just think of "this country" as "this universe."”

“Keep going, back a third party and get the Supreme Court you deserve. Than it won't matter for years and years whether you get a progressive or not, you will be ruled by the conservative right at every turn. How short sighted and spoiled brat are you people.”

“Many of my friends are and getting treatment they have long needed such as cornea transplants and more. There are financial problems throughout the state and the premiums have gone up, not bankrupt as far as I know. I am on the best program of all, Medicare. A very successful government program which is not going bankrupt no matter what the fear mongers say.”

“Don't tell me about MA - I am living in the promised land. I don't qualify for any handouts.
The cheap plans cost us working stiffs 15K/year (this plan does not cover diagnostics until you meet your 5K deductible). And I am paying taxes to "subsidize" the same astronomical premiums for those who cannot afford it. I don't begrudge helping those in need, but the premiums are getting to be exorbitant.
The system is broken. If you are on govt assistance, that must be rosy. But it is really difficult on the rest of the taxpayers. Recognize our hardships instead of smugly saying you are taken care of on the cheap by Medicaid, so why bother with those of us breaking our backs to support you?! Not asking for gratitude, just acknowledgment.”

“It is very well said but delusional, how do you strong arm the dissenters to pass what you want. All this ranting and raving will get you a Republican President in 2012. Then we will regress way back to no reform at all, that's what it means. Luckily, most people aren't listening to this dissent from Hell and are happy with what is happening. Believe me, the advice I get is not to pay attention to this crap.”

“I am neither utopian, nor, am I delusional. We do not have to have a 2 party system. I believe that the interests of progressives and/or leftists are different than the DLC or "liberals," or Blue Dogs, or the "New Democrats.
For me there is really no difference between Republicans and Democrats insofar as they are the flip side of the same coin --- not a different form of tender. They exist in response to one another ... as you wrote --- if I dissent I might get us a Republican president. I will dissent, it is my right to dissent ... and throwing up the fear of another Republican president doesn't cut it for me ... never did ... never will. We could get a Progressive president ... that is possible.
I worked hard for Obama but what has changed? Not a thing. Health Care? Closing Guantanmo? War? GLBT rights? Woman's rights? Habeaus Corpus? Financial reform? Not a thing .,... just lies, illusions,etc
We need to stop thinking in such a limited anachronistic fashion and look towards leaders who are committed to their role as representing the citizens of this nation, not the corporate interests ... that is nothing short of fascism (e.g. merger or corporate and state power) ...”
