Without a "public option" there will be no progress with health care reform until things really go to hell in a handbasket. In the meantime the only winners will be the insurance companies and health care companies. 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.

Labeling opposition to the liberal agenda as only Republican is a major mistake. |

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%. |
