“There is nothing special about Democrat politicians they every bit as greedy, power hungry and corrupt as Republicans. The trick is to give government the least power necessary to governor and to never trust politicians.”

“Democrats are the political subs, in the game for only a few plays before going back on the bench.”

“Without a question of a single doubt, obama and his followers' policies must fail.”

“We need to do everything possible to drive obama Democrat favorables lower. Mid 30's by November.”

“Does my MBA count? Please, what government controlled market has competition, is innovative, reducing costs and thriving?”

“You are confused, the market was not allowed to work in the case of the banks, politicians intervened. Had politicians not injected themselves into this mess from the beginning to today the mess may not have occurred and certainly would have been much smaller.”

“Big oil, what in the world does big oil have to do with obama kowtowing to Boss Stern? Non sequitur much?”

“It is obamacare, it is the legislation obama and the Democrats support. It is obamacare, it is the legislation obama and the Democrats support. Too bad progressives are innately opposed to the best solution and best possible system, a regulated but mostly free market for health care.”

“You present a false choice, it isn't government or insurance company control there is the best approach progressives choose to ignore, consumer control through the free market. A freer market, with less government control, less competition blocking regulations and hugely increased competition and the resulting consumer control would greatly improve the health care system.”

“They won't believe you, progressives are doctrinal ideologues who will always vote Democrat.”

“A joke, right. Republican politicians would love it if obama cozied up to the Castros.”

“obama will listen to boss Stern. Boss Stern has the interests of the union at heart.”

“Increasing political control over health care will decrease competition.”

“So as we approach the final Democrat legislation for health care reform, obamacare, it turns out not to be reform at all. Rather strict regulation and control of health care by the Democrats through a form of corporatist economic planning in which the legal forms of private ownership of industry are nominally preserved but in which both the public and capitalists are obliged to submit their plans and objectives to state regulation and extensive wage and price controls, which are designed to insure the priority of the political leadership's objectives over the private economic interests of the citizens. So under obamacare health care markets are allowed to operate only in a non-competitive, cartelized, and governmentally "rigged" fashion empowering politicians, eliminating competition and guarantying profits for a protected industry.”

“People in their homes do not fit the definition of combat soldiers. In any honest analysis they will always be judged to be civilians until prover otherwise which inherently cannot be proven from thousands of miles away by a drone operator flying a drone 10,000 feet over head via a video feed.”

“To a certain extent, the profit motive does help to create wealth, not greed. People are rewarded for helping and pleasing their fellow citizens.”

“CIA employees should immediately stop flying all drone attack missions. It is time for all these drone pilots to refuse obama's orders to commit any more illegal unlawful executions. If I were a CIA officer involved in Predator drone strikes. I would know obama would not back me up in case of an indictment in a European court. Or that it would not take steps to ensure, once the Obama administration ends, that its officials would be protected from future prosecutions, by sending out an unambiguous message that no American administration, Democratic or Republican, will tolerate such moves against American officials.

The international community regards drone strikes as

* (a) extrajudicial executions and murder by any other name;
* (b) American cowardice in using technological superiority to avoid having to take personal risks to confront its targets;
* (c) a reason why America’s enemies hide out among noncombatant human shields, with the result that the Americans “force” their enemies to violate the laws of war; and
* (d) an invitation for the United States to use violence as a tool of frequent convenience because it does not have its personnel at personal risk (rather than seeing these advances in technology as humanitarian steps forward over a quarter century to increase discrimination in targeting, and rather than seeing that not having its people at risk allows the targeting to proceed on a more methodical basis, rather than in-out with greater, rather than lesser, pressure to act in the moment),”

“Government cannot create wealth.”

“During Bush's most effective years, from 2001 to 2005, the GOP had a grand total of 50, and then 51, Senators. The slimmest margin possible. Why with 60 votes are Democrats so ineffective, but with 50 votes Republicans excel?...Legislation the public wanted.”

“You need to read more then DU and kos.”

“Under obamacare all Americans will have to pay large and growing premiums to our existing private insurance companies. It then prohibits those companies from charging people differently based on their health, age, and the like, which means they will just charge everyone more. The bill has some subsidies to help people who can't pay their premiums, but that just means that most Americans will be paying the insurance companies more and more for premiums both as individual health insurance customers and as taxpayers. The bill is basically a massive subsidy to the insurers -- it is not a reform of the system.

True reform would make the system freer and more competitive, obamacare does the opposite.”

“WOW! The third stimulus, insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results.”

“obamacare is hugely unpopular.”

“Whatever it takes to stop obamacare will be a good start.”

“Democrats know the more people find out about obamacare the more people are against obamacare. This is why they don't want the public to have time to understand obamacare, "hurry before see what we have done".”
