Obama has a big speech next week.
If he doesn't demand a public option he loses. Be interesting to see if
his guts match the Dem numbers in Congress. That's my opinion.
I don't see much guts in the Dem party. They should be kicking ass and
telling the Reps to go get ****ed, including the town hall whiners
sucking Medicare tit and wanting all that milk just for themselves.
Elections count. Supposed to anyway.


Hear, hear. I agree completely. In many ways, Obama's administration is
riding on the outcome of health care reform. The Democrats have the
numbers. Obama needs to quit playing softball. I'd feel a little more
confident is Reid was a little tougher, because someone has to get the
Democrats playing hard ball.

So, you feel that half the country should totally dictate to the other
half, a one party system if you will?


It is the duty of the citizen to subordinate himself or herself to the
lunatic fringe for the good of 'posterity' and government. If one or
two of your personal liberties are sacrificed - "big whup"!

It is an imperfect system, isn't it? Oh, and I believe Republicans only
constitute 1/4 of the population these days.

That may or may not be a valid belief. Labeling opposition to the liberal
agenda as only Republican is a major mistake.

Geeze, that doesn't square with the last election. But it should make
Olbermann's fact sheet now that it's been said... snerk


Plus or minus a few points, but you may be forgetting Independents. A
few years ago, the break down was roughly 1/3 Democrats, 1/3
Independents, and 1/3 Republicans. This poll has the Republicans at 27%,
with most leaving for Independent status, not Democrat. I have, however,
seen other polls that had the Republicans down to 22%.

Hey Thunder. Was it a poll of Acorn members?

All decisions, even those made by liberals, are the result of binary thinking.
