“Fact checking, what a novel idea to have truth in the news. I remember when I was younger, truth used to be expected in news media. Since we've gotten news all the time, seems like truth has become a thing of the past.

Hmmm? Let's see is MSM can pull it off. Bring truth back into news.
its a lie, speak a lie twice didn't someone say that before, speak it a third time, history has been rewritten and everyone forgets the truth.”

“GOP is doing their usual practice of rewriting history. If they say it is so a couple of times, then Boone checks the facts anymore and it becomes the new truth.”

“Drunk or not, women who are abused often recant their stories. If you noticed, he got out of jail fairly fast on a felony charge. Of course she will stop cooperating with law enforcement. And, consider that it took law enforcement to have "probably cause" to arrest him in the first place. This is serious stuff, more than a rich white man having a temper tantrum.”

“Victory claims the democratic senators of NewHampshire and Nebraska. While proudly stating their support of the abandoned public option the shout victory as they escort not 30 million americans but 33 million into tbe private insurance industry which is being reformed in everyway they say except competition. And as Bartles says to James I thank you for your support and i add however its a good fine wonderful amount of productive work you done in not getting the public option and not getting the buy in option or coverage for those over 55. Now run on home resting assured your pac monies are still available and increased too by you know who, and the banks played on and on. Is there a 12 step recovery group called bankanon? Or one for all the poor disenfranchised who were outlearshipped by say ol say it ain't so Joe.”

“I can say one thing for Republicans, they are united. Sadly, the Democratic Party has lacked the conviction to stand firm, without waiver. I agree with Dean. Let the current bill RIP and start over with a 51 vote majority to get this work done. We need progressive legislation for the people and NOT for insurance companies and those who line their coffers with their money, while people die every day because our country has lost sight of any values but greed!”

“Killing the bill feels very sad for me that the Democrats compromised so much. They should have worked for a 51 vote majority and came up with progressive legislation that served the people of this nation. I am heartsick but prefer to stop being held hostage by big insurance and more so by corrupt senators. (Lieberman, Nelson, and other blue dogs.)

Time to get back to the business of hte people and that means stopping to swallow all the obstructionism in an effort for bipartisonship. The Republicans have shown their colors.”

“Joe Lieberman needs to be moved out of the Democratic caucus. His votes cannot be counted on and the Democrats should go ahead and work at getting moderate Republican votes instead of conceding so much to this person. He enjoys privileges by being part of the majority party yet does not provide any kind of added bonus to the Democratic caucus. And even bring added drain on energy and effortsof the Democratic party. Bye, bye, time to go now.”

“As long as the worthless, spineless Harry Reid is in charge, you can be sure Lieberman will be calling the shots.”

“This article speaks much of what I already know.Bush and the Republicans really made a mess of things and all the while lined their pockets with our country's wealth and resources. Now they continue to obstruct because there are attempts at trying to repair the damage and its impact will slow their ability to to continue looting this country. And then now people are upset with President Obama because he hasn't delivered everything to them. Well, that seems a bit unreasonable and Republican like. President Obama has only been in office for 11 months. Let's give the guy a chance. He's been doing an amazing job cleaning up the Republican disaster and yes, there are things Id like done now but I really do have to realize that he doesn't have a magic wand.”

“The public option was only going to impact 10% of the people. I like the new options coming out of the Senate WAY better! While the dramatic claims of the public option death is being made, we also need to balance that with our understanding that we are receiving an expansion of health care coverage that is making larger strides toward universal health care in the long run. I like this better.”

“I am relieved FOR NOW! Our society's climate of hate has gotten increasingly scary.

“I am all for a good debate about Afghanistan and I think it is time our Republican senators learned how to walk and chew gum. i think health care/insurance reform is critical to our economic security. Afghanistan is an important issue but does not merit priority status over the well being of the American people. republicans, stop trying to delay and obstruct. take this time to inform your insurance contributors that you just might have to take care of the American people instead of them for a change.”
