you are taking the wrong approach.

We are a nation of sound-bite addicts. If we must read something it had better be written at a 12 year olds' level.

This is why the right wing hate machine is having such an effect on the public discussion of health care reform. The ignorant fear change and the GOP plays on this by using its biased news outlets and talk show blowhards.

Health care reform is complicated and requires a little study that is beyond the mental capability of too many Americans.

Perhaps we should be pushing for education reforrm first, in order to teach people how to employ critical thinking and reading skills.

And its Permanenent Minority status is ensured.

Looking at the wreckage that the Bush Administration has left us, it is obvious who the winners are in the Iraq War: Al Qaeda and Halliberton.

Obama faces the decision whether to expend vast resources on investigations of countless Bush Administration crimes or to move the country out of the financial disaster that Bush left. In addition he has to reform our health care system while fighting back against the Fox News/Republican propaganda machine.

History will not be kind to the GOP. People will look back and ask how an entire nation could have been so badly served by the Bush Administration. One reason is very apparent: the failure of mainstream news to adequately investigate and report events leading up to and during the Iraq War, and the events leading to our financial collapse.

I am hoping that the passage of health care reform will enable Obama focus upon and to push for investigations into Bush war crimes and crimes against the American people. It makes no sense to expend lives for Iraqis' freedom while violating the U.S Constitution at home.

The GOP's liars are transparent in their hatred of Obama and their irrational fears about improving the health care system.

The opposition to health care reform is driven by Fox News and conservative blowhards stirring up their hardcore audience. The vast majority know that healthcare reform is needed.

It is, after all, one of the main reasons that Obama was elected and it will happen.

Big business isn't worried too much about who wins elections because it will subvert the democratic process in order to effect public policy.

Instead, they focus on back-room deals, lobbyists, lies, and a media driven mob to affect public opinion.

This is exactly what is happening now. This is a bigger threat to Americans' freedom than Iraq or Afghanistan. Respectful debate is the backbone of a democratic society and the key word is "respectful". Flooding the broadcast media with one-sided shills whipping up emotions while subduing or distorting the facts is not helping the dabate, it is propaganda that has no place in enlightened society.

With Palin busy running the GOP spin machine, the Alaskan wildlife can breath a little easier.

A possible job opportunity for Sarah may be as a fighter pilot in the USAF, except that the targets will shoot back.

Considering the mess that Obama inherited from Bush, he is doing pretty well. The economic numbers are showing improvement, real estate is moving again, the DOW is up, unemployment is falling, his first nomination to the Supreme Court is confirmed.

I'd say this is pretty good for less than ten months in office.

Palin, on the other hand, managed to lose an election, further divide the Republican base, and quit her job as governor of Alaska.

And now she is roaming around telling Obama how to run the country? Give me a break!

In a word, no, PBS excepted.

have no idea as to what a "commie" or a "Nazi" is and the GOP hatemeisters are throwing these labels around like confetti. The vast majority of new voters are not impressed by these antics and they are being turned off by the rudderless Republicans.

However, considering the fragile mental state of the right wing rabble I would not be surprised if law enforcement is keeping a very close watch on these idiots.

All of the GOP blowhards play to the same audience, a distinct minority consisting of undereducated haters, Bible-thumpers, and people seeking simple-minded answers to complex problems. I'd put Palin in the latter group.

They are increasingly distancing themselves from mainstream America and this will hurt them (again!) in the next Election.

The GOP media blowhards are comic-book characters dressed up as commentators. They affect the opinions of very few outside their narrow and ignorant audiences. The past two major elections resulting in the loss of GOP Congressional seats and the election of Obama illustrate the effect these loonies have on thinking voters.

I personally am very excited about the future of the GOP if it continues to support Rush, Hannity, and the rest of their lying spinmeisters.

Go here to read the health plan. Perhaps this will help to educate some on this subject.

Wanna bet that many home secured loans paid for these toys?

Now they'll have to look elsewhere for someone to hate.

Abortion is legal, and if it is necessary to preserve the health or the life of the mother it should be covered - just like any other medical procedure.

Your posts reveal an ignorance of facts and a necessity to parrot the right-wing media whores.

Keep it up. You are selling the image of the New GOP and letting people know why the Republicans are becoming a Permanent Minority Party.
