“Duh, health care is for everybody paid for by American taxpayers as long as Americans do not have any Health Care. What is wrong with this picture ... makes you wonder when Americans are used as the cash cow (Peter) to pay for every other country while excluding Americans (Paul). When do Americans get included?
'Borrowing from Peter to pay Paul even when Peter is broke. Don't look for Peter to get paid back, EVER!”

“I agree to a certain point. However, I also believe any and all banksters and Wall Streeters that are "showing a profit" after the disasterous last 18 months should be investigated for fraud and prosecuted with the end result being prison time (not club fed) and the seizing of all assets to be returned to the pensions, charities and other investors who did all the losing on this scam. Then ALL the TBTFs need to be dismantled PERMANENTLY!”

“Being VP didn't stop HW from running against St. Ronnie ... where do you think "voodoo economics" came from?”

“Its not compromise if one party does all the giving and in the HCR debate, I didn't see any giving by the party of no or the blue dogs. It was all about them and nothing for average Americans!”

“Let's face it, as long as women can be kept out of leadership positions those that feel threatened by strong women will always be in charge. It is easier to keep things the way they are than to embrace change. I never believed that America was a country of cowards but now I'm beginning to wonder. Is it the men that fear a strong woman who can lead or is it other strong women?”

“What goes around comes around and it must be Johnnie boy's turn.”

“"Things he believes in" until he doesn't? Sounds like he's back to his same old same old but just mainly OLD!”

“Has anybody else noticed that welfare for PEOPLE is BAD X100 but welfare for the corporations just gets bigger and bigger with each year? When did corporations become so important that they could supplant actual people.”

“The insurance cartel stocks tell the story ... they have won and Americans have lost, in spades (to be used to dig our graves).”

“I so want the Obama Administration to succeed but the only way that is going to work is if he decides to stand up and BE THE PRESIDENT and stops being a senator. Its now all about leading his base and stop pandering to the obstructionist who will NEVER support any legislation proposed by this president or Democrats. President Obama has wasted this past year trying to work with the Party of NO and all it stands for which is mainly causing the Obama Administration to fail and with it our nation. ENOUGH ALREADY! YES YOU CAN, MR. PRESIDENT!!!! JUST DO IT!”

“I'll do it tomorrow probably more than once.”

“I'm hoping the same thing but it gets harder every time he comes out in support of legislation that is crafted by lobbyists re: Baucus and the Finance Committee bill that was developed by six senators (3 Repubs and 3 Dems when there should have been 3 Dems, 2 Repubs and 1 Indie (preferrable not Lieberman) that represent less that 2% of America. Why couldn't he have backed the House, Ways and Means bill or the Health and Human Services bill, both of which were 10 times better than the excuse Baucus had written for him by his insurance industry lobbyist cum staffer.”

“Of course he did, they aren't Americans, DUH!”

“Please go sit on your nest, get a copy of the Constitution AND READ IT. The fiibuster is rule added long after the constitution was written. What did you do, read the first sentence and rush down to comments? This article EXPLAINS when the filibuster was added as a SENATE PROCEDURAL RULE and whose idea it was. IT IS NOT PART OF THE CONSTITUTION.”

“All of the "no's" are compliments of the Party of No and the blue dogs with help from Joe Lieberman.”

“That will happen anyway. Have you forgotten the debacle that was the Bush administration so soon? I'll remember that nightmare until the day I die.”

“Its not just Democrats who take care of the lobbyists and their money first last and always. Democrats have been rubbing elbows with the Republicans for too long and corruption has rubbed off and infected them. Lie down with dogs and get up with fleas.”

“IMHO BOTH suggestions should be implemented. Close the door on TBTF and if they don't like it they can move to China. But they can't take their money with them since it really belongs to Americans who were cheated out of it.”

“And Texas, Mississippi, Alabama and Louisianna, the Blue States pay for the Red States.”

“"Can it be any worse than it is now?" No I don't think so unless the only ones running to office was the corporate CEOs. Campaign finance reform is the ONLY way we are going to be able to remove special interest from politics. If we can get that and elect people that are not bought off, we can eliminate lobbyists.”

“The moderates are not in the middle, they are just really sneaky at hiding they are on the right. Ethics and honesty are AWOL in America.”

“And the best regulators that look the other way, as well as laws passed at the detriment of America. Time to put a stop to this travesty now! Protect America or pay the price. Isn't the Republican / neo-conservative grand? Tilt the playing field in the 2%ers and corporate pirates favor then sit back and watch as America tears itself apart. It is time for the majority to be heard and do the correct (notice I'm not using "right") thing for the citizens of this country. I am beginning to feel like I live in 18th century Europe where the church (Catholic) or the royals own everything and the rest of the population just works hard then dies to be replaced by a new generation of serfs. I do have to admit the GOP knew where they were going when they set out to destroy America, dumb down education and make sure college was unattainable for anybody but the rich. Its working very well for them but for everybody else (80%) it is an unmitigated disaster!”

“Most Libertarians I've talked to also side with the Republicans do did, in fact, enrich all their warmongering buddies at America's expense and who seem to like wars of choice as long as they are open-ended.”

“Pick up ANY history book and read about the rebuilding of Europe after WWII.”

“I can see you've named yourself well meaning, You got yours so its time to tilt the table a little more to favor you and everybody can fall in a pit because nobody else deserves to have the same chance as you. You also probably believe government should be small enough to drown in a bathtub.”
