“I'd have been willing to go to a town hall meeting -- even at the risk of being shot at by some Tim McVeigh wannabe -- and raise holy hell for single payer health care. But for a watered-down piece of "reform" negotiated behind closed doors with the likes of Billy Tauzin, .why should we on the "left of the left" (and raise your hand if you're as insulted by that dismissive wave of the hand as I am!), stick our necks out? So the "best and the brightest" in this administration can brag about how they "got health care done in the first year," when all we got was a piece of milquetoast legislation which (assuming we even get a "public option") will allow the drug companies to soak the taxpayers even more than they do under GWB's Medicare Part D?

As with the Wall Street bailout, the Rethugnicans will spin this so they end up looking like heroes for having taken a "principled" stance against skyrocketing deficits. What a shame, when all that needed to be done was to displace the stockholder standing with folded arms (and maybe an AR-15) between you and your doctor.”

“It's official: I no longer have the right to disagree when my right-wing brother insists that the Clinton Democrats were "just as bad" as the Bushies when it comes to the economic rights of Main Street Americans!”

“Not just as bad, but still it's like saying a 9th place team is better than the 10th place team.”

“Well, what a total bucket of slime Daschle is, but I'm becoming ever more convinced that they ALL are. Obama has made some very bad choices and decisions, and already at this point, too many of them to be excused as learning curve errors. Where do these people get off thinking only THEY should be guaranteed health care? They bat aside any references to our wanting to have their same healthcare, they act as if that is so absurd a suggestion as to be completely laughable. Why is that? I have had to go on Cobra and so far, they have refused every single claim from routine blood work to Dr. visits and dental cleaning. It's been explained to me to expect that...tha­t's what I can expect. I am paying $410 a month for NOTHING. Now, eventually they may pay something, but this is how they go about it, when you're under Cobra at least - it's that Nancy Reagan JUST SAY NO line. We have got to torture these politicians with letters, emails, anythign and everything, to tell them they had best not ignore the 76% of the country who want the public health care option. It has to happen, this will not come up again in my lifetime, I am sure.”

Maybe he'd like to invite Rush for a visit and parry with him.

“"We don't need a fairness doctrine, we need to expose the real dangers of hate radio."

AMEN!!! We need more mainstream coverage of exactly what is being said on these radio stations. We should hear more recordings of Limbaugh et al (bleeped where required by the applicable broadcast standards, of course). The more people know about the hateful crap some of their friends, family members, co-workers and fellow congregants are listening to, the more healthy societal shame can be brought to bear on such anti-social behavior.”
