An estimated 12,000 Americans die each year due to lack of healthcare access in the US. This is 4 times as many that died on 9/11 each year, but we decided to squander over a trillion on crude oil confiscation instead of investing to combat the true domestic terrorism of our age, for-profit healthcare.

MSNBC frequently displays 5 minute pharmaceutical commercials even during Obermann and Maddow. This could translate in a lot of lost revenue if MSNBC actually did the reporting they should be doing.

I respect your opinion but completely disagree. He isnt going to respond to any logic. He doesnt care about logic and he is going to continue to call us names and be a jerk no matter WHAT you do. I spent a couple of years doing exactly what you say and watched the rightwingnuts get ruder and nastier and use our highroad approack to paint us as being weak. I think our ideas are better and we can beat them in the debate halls which is why they take the discussions into the gutter. In my opinion, disagree if you choose, I am going to follow them into the gutter and show we can beat them there too. People who come here ONLY to annoy and pick at us dont deserve civility and respect. They deserve to get the contempt they heap on us piled back on them. I can see that you see it differently that is all well and good. Good luck. Maybe in the end you are right.

What you say is obviously true. The thing is SlappyMoron is STUPID. He knows he is too stupid to have an actual discussion so he doesnt try. He isnt here to discuss anything. He is the quintessential punkass troll

MSNBC is still the corporate media. Though they allow more progressive voices, they still have financial interests in a for-profit healthcare system.

This along with the fact Congress is bought off by these corporate interests should take front and center on stage…. the real elephant in the room. Instead, we see the same dance over and over…

If the media allowed more horror stories of our immoral health care system, not just the blurps we get during a televised meeting with Obama, their ratings would soar and they must know it. I have also noticed there is not much news covering Congress’s votes… the votes special interest paid for.

The problem with posts such as this, is that they are Republican talking points or mantras. They lack any substance or logic that could be considered discourse. These mantras are perfect for people who want other people to tell them what their opinion should be.

That’s the way the GNOP likes it. Everyone on the same page, spouting the same thing, no individualism or original thought allowed.

That is the beauty, and the frustration, of being a Democrat!

PEACE

I am looking forward to joining the Democratic party……I hope to, like all my Democratic friends, be completely on the government dole by early September. Free health care, Free food from the state, Free cell phone (here in Washington state anyways), Free hoveround and the list goes on…..All hail the Obama!

The problem with posts such as this, is that they are Republican talking points or mantras. They lack any substance or logic that could be considered discourse. These mantras are perfect for people who want other people to tell them what their opinion should be. In fact, these mantras are geared toward the people to recite without any forethought. The Republicans think that they can abdicate their responsibility for the Bush administration be refusing to talk about the massive failure of the last 8 years. However, the economic failures as well as the Iraq are seared in the minds of the public because they deal with these issues every day. They are not going to forget either in the near future. Simply stated, the Republicans need to rethink their positions and present an intelligible vision of America or face minority status for an extended period.

Its what all the repug pundits and trolls are proclaiming! Little billy kristol even goes so far as to call it a “shrewed move” and that it might actually catapult her into the white house!

That’s some pretty good doublespeak, even by repug standards – ABANDON THE ONLY REAL POLITICAL RESPONSIBILITIES YOU HAVE EVER HAD IS SUCCESSFULLY FULFILLING THEM!

And it makes her an even “better” candidate for the White House!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Losing is WINNING” and “ONLY WINNERS QUIT!!!!!!!”

And doing over a long holiday weekend that celebrates the tenacious battles that others have made to create our nation – SHEER BRILLIANCE!!!!!!!

I only wish it was dur chimpfuhrer that “catapulted the propaganda” by, halfway through his first term, demonstrating “quitting is for WINNERS”!
