If it is good for America, why isn't it good for Congress and the president?

    In a representative republic, listening to what your presidential candidates say, and you know, actually basing your vote on that is a duty. People either wanted health care reform or if they didn't, deserve what they get because they didn't do they duty in a representative republic. Other than a bunch of loud-ass teabaggers, I'm not swayed that there's some massive majority that's having something crammed that they don't want crammed.

    Now the metaphorical golf tour has reached silly season. What's next, pics from the Gulag Archipelago, or of Tianamen Square? As Fenian would say, communism being defined by people who wouldn't know the definition if Samuel Gompers yelled it in their face.

    Of course you're not swayed. You're an admitted Ted Kennedy liberal, so you view the masses as generally ignorant and the government as the only thing that's right and good in America.
     
  7. If you love the masses so much, why does the GOP wet the bed about union card check? I mean, power to the people, right? Let them decide.

    No, I like the masses just fine. They voted for Obama, who talked about his health care plan for three years, en masse. So you're basically saying the masses were too ignorant to hear what he was saying and know that's what he planned to do? For shame!

    Working for Pravda can't be worse than working for Gannett, can it?

    So everyone who voted for Obama did so because of his health-care plan? And are voters not allowed to change their mind? I'm sure the Dems would love to have that written into law while they have majorities in both houses of Congress.

    I'm not sure I could argue with that comrade.
