“THE GOP HATES UNION BECAUSE WE FIGHT TO GET A LIVEABLE WAGE. FIGHT BEING THE OPPERATIVE WORD. THE GOP ARE chickens and will never fight a worthy opponent, they just bushwhack.”

“Those would be city union workers, not federal. TSA would be federal.”

“That is only one reason why DeMint should be charged with treason. His defiant trip to Honduras to undermine the State Department should have been enoungh.”

“Great point! But DeMint probably thinks they make way too much money!

Those darned unions! Always fighting for the little guy! I guess the people who vote for republicans don't realize that every organization they demonize are actually fighting for the people! ACORN, unions, ACLU -- all organizations that represent the little guy! So republicans demonize them in order to try to destroy them.

Look at the organizations they champion -- they all represent the corporations and the wealthy but they have names to fool people into believing they are looking out for 95% of Americans, when actually they have been working to redistribute the wealth to 5%. They convince people it will trickle down, even after it's been proven not to work.”

“You think Dick Armey's (play on words here) big enough? If so, let that Big Dawg hunt.”

“Very true !! Our Dems need a louder voice that's for sure. The MSM refuses to do it's job.”

“I don't understand how the GOP thinks the media is left.

The media goes along with the GOP far more than the Dem, they always have.

The media never points out the obvious and people apparently need to have the obvious pointed out.

When the Daily show scoops regular news by pointing out Fox used two different seasons to slant a story, that should have been covered by the real media.

The news outlets have video of the hypocrisy, like Condi Rice during the 9/11 hearings and admitting they thought the memo about Bin Laden wasn't important.

The GOP let every bad thing Bush did go by and they supported him totally on every bad policy.

They can't be allowed to backtrack their on record for the last eight years by claiming falsehoods and acting self righteous now.

The GOP is clearly about nothing but the party line.

They did not keep us safer, they were against the 9/11 recommendations and Bush only reluctantly moved forward to do anything after much debate.

They initially had the attitude that by agreeing with the 9/11 recommendations it would indicate their guilt, so they were slow to accept it or act on it.

The system the GOP setup doesn't seem to be working. They came up the color coded alerts which did nothing.

They never give the Obama administration credit for the number of plots and arrests that have been made.”

“Ummm. The main stream media is bought and paid for by the Corporations. Just like your Government.”

“When was the last time you watched c-span?”

“Their solution is to get the government out of it, and let the free market and tax cuts for the rich take care of it. They may be idiots, and completely wrong, but they are consistent.”

“"courage" is defined as doing something as being necessary, even in the face of fear or thinking it won't make a difference.

I will stick with my course to get a Bachelor's degree. It's the right thing; even if everybody I know who is over 60 says they never needed one or their friend ran a bank and only had an Associates' degree. It's not 1975 anymore, times have changed...”

“Yes, yes, yes. Thank you for remembering, too. These Republicans choose to be amnestic about 8 years of in-lock-step Republican administration/COngress/Supreme Court. All 3 branches sewn together by Republican partisanship.”

“Because they know what a book-cooked scam CBO numbers are? Here's my favorite part:

"CBO director Douglas Elmendorf attributes the change to lower targets for Medicare spending after 2019".

If you believe those "targets" are going to be met, I have some green gasoline to sell you that increases mileage by 500% and has zero emissions.

And then there's this:

"And people who failed to obtain insurance for even one month would face monthly penalties that by 2016 could add up to as much as $750 a year or 2 percent of a person's income, whichever is greater."

Aside from the noxiousness of the Feds for the first time ever forcing someone to buy something, it seems a lot cheaper to just not get insurance and wait until I need care, and buy a month of insurance, and take the $750 hit. What a joke.

The Dems will pay for this in 2010 and '12.”

“the CBO is a joke. It reports and does what the majority party in congress tells it to report.”

“crime: not being a progressive...”

“Probably was by the AMA. That's why he went into politics.”

“OBAMA VS. LIEBERMAN
President Obama has said he favors a public health insurance option. Senator Joe Lieberman is widely credited with forcing Senate Democrats to take the public option off the table in order to win his vote. Do you think President Obama should have done more to pressure Lieberman to allow the public option to move forward?

my favorite part of the poll.”

“"this is truly the government run healthcare" ???

Word games. This bill certainly is NOT government run anything. This bill gives full control to the CORPORATIONS. Yet the corporations run our government, so you are right, in a circular kind of way.”

“That's because KO is a fickle grandstander.

Bush got in tax cuts and war resolutions. Hardly difficult to navigate those waters. That's been the most annoying thing about the whining, the idea that Bush was some great legislator.

He stood up and said, "Let's get im!" and "Cut taxes" and dared anyone to filibuster it. The one time he tried something meaningful -- privatize Social Security -- he got beaten, through many of these same tactics.

Calm down. A bill will pass and we'll move on. By 2012, you'll love Obama again.

And Howard Dean needs to shut up. He had his chance and screamed it away.”

“So sad, but true, I am very sorry to say...”

“So let me get this straight our president should be more like bush and we democrats should be more like fox viewers. Bush didn't have an irrational party to deal with in fact the democrats voted with bush on many issues. The republican party have literally determined that it is to their political advantage to cause harm to the American people while a democrat is in charge and Lieberman can at best be described as a saboteur in the democratic caucus.”
