David Simon On Health Care Bill: "Only One Thing Can Make People This Stupid, And That's Money"
Commented Dec 28, 2009 at 13:42:09 in Media
“EVERYONE. EVERYONE. EVERYONE needs to read this. PERIOD. Something needs to be done and it will take the left AND the right to unite so we can reform congress so it at least repersents REGULAR PEOPLE I don't care from which party. I don't mind centrists, progressives, or conservatives. I can't STAND corporatists, there are too many in both parties and THAT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED.”

“There are commonalities between the political left and the political right. It's fun to keep a track of what things people DO agree on.
And you're right about corporatists. They are the ones who drain the arts, creativity, progress, work ethic, and pretty much everything else of real value out of this country and out of this world.”

Senate Passes Health Care Bill, 60-39
Commented Dec 24, 2009 at 12:06:23 in Politics
“ONCE AGAIN. The Dems do something, pass the stimulus, pass lilyledbetter, pass Health Care in the House and Senate and the article the AP writes FINISHES WITH A REPUBLICAN QUOTE. They do this EVERY SINGLE TIME. EVERYTIME. EVERYTIME. I am sick and tired of their bias.”

“Yup. And they STILL call it the "liberal" media - which it isn't - as if liberal was a bad thing - which it isn't.
All of which makes the progress we have made (fully acknowledging there's room for more) that much more remarkable!”

Commented Dec 20, 2009 at 12:38:03 in Politics
“You are saying that like he is lying. It's a FACT. The bill will have to hold closely to the Senate one, the House has to have some critical things that it continues to fight for to be in the final product though.”

Taibbi, Kuttner Debate Health Care Bill On "Bill Moyers Journal" (VIDEO)
Commented Dec 19, 2009 at 10:14:34 in Politics
“Does Taibbi consider himself a progressive? Ask yourself, ANY PROGRESSIVE, ask yourself if you truly think we should regroup in 8 years and try again. Do you know how many people would die from lack of insurance? From recissions? From being denied care? Going bankrupt because they can't pay their bills? As PROGRESSIVES we should want this bill to passed. Although it could be so much better, although it is watereddown to the point where you question what government can do, this bill IS PROGRESS and it WILL put us on a path closer to TRUE reform.”

However, President Obama..... .that one hurts. He dissapoints me the most because when we NEEDED him the most, not only did he capitulate to Lieberman HE DIDN'T EVEN PUT UP A FIGHT.

“It's because neither the GOP nor the Dems represent people like you and me. They're corporate sellouts who patronize us by speaking in platitudes for us to elect them. Then they turn around and stab us in the back. The right-left political games played by those in power are a FACADE to make us believe there's a difference and that we actually have a choice.”

“I agree. I worked hard during the Obama campaign, registering voters, making calls, whatever I could. Now, I need for him to work hard on this health care reform. How can the republicans pass tax cuts that only helped a small percentage of the country and the democrats can't pass reform that would help the majority?
I am just really disappointed in President Obama and totally upset with the Dems in the Senate. Why even call yourself a Democrat if you just roll over for the republicans every time.”
