there's more where that came from

Lieberman's not the only one. The past several months Americans have witnessed much chaos, confusion, and incompetence regarding how to reform healthcare/insurance. Democrats are more concerned with their militant, radical agendas and vendettas, instead of real solutions.

Democrats = old school

At the very least, it appears very old-fashioned, if not totally inefficient, to have a 1990 page bill. Only government operates like this!

tax rates

You can't compare tax rates with the 50's or 90's tax rates!

Businesses struggled under Clinton, and now there's even stiffer competition and narrower margins.

A Government that Robs Peter to pay Paul...

"A gov't. that robs Peter to pay Paul can always count on the support of Paul". The democratic party Needs you to believe the public option is the only way to reform healthcare. They finally have control over you. You Have to vote for them.

And if you don't understand that, does it sound like a good plan to count on 5% of the population to pay the bill?

Let's just hope voters send a crystal clear message in upcoming elections!

Lieberman is right

Lieberman's right. You can reform health insurance without a government takeover. The Democrats blew their chance at real reform because they were more concerned about putting the insurance companies out of business, instead of truly Reducing Costs. Now what they'll end up with is "some kind of reform; any kind of reform".

Since he's a liberal, its ok to be a creep....democrats=hypocrits

democrats playing games with healthcare reform

Democrats are playing political games instead of solving health

care/insurance problems. If they would just reduce costs, they wouldn't have to play any games at all. And now --- Pelosi is changing the name from "public option" to "consumer option" because they know most Americans do Not want more government involvement in our health care. If so many people are "supposedly" for the public option, as these fake polls suggest---- then why does Pelosi have to change the name of it?

democrats = worthless on health reform

Democrats will be known as the party that played politics with

health reform, the party that got "some kind, any kind of, shifting costs-reform" ... while conservatives will actually go on to "solve" healthcare/insurance problems. Keep it up with the looney-left wing politics -- we love it.

Obama's intimidated by Fox

Obama's weak in business/economics and that's a strong area for FOX. When Democrats don't have an argument--they tend to destroy, they condemn, they mock, they spread lies; some call it Chicago politics., but this is what happens when someone is losing... we've seen it before, but its a shame its coming from

a President.

Friday, October 23, 2009 03:17 PM

Obama's totally lost it ?

We expect more from a President: Professor Gates and the police sargeant fiasco: totally weird. Now he's going after Fox. Has the constant gushing gotten his head so big he really does think he's infallible? We've suspected he's been over his head for quite some time, but this is puzzling behavior that makes you wonder.....

Thursday, October 22, 2009 01:16 PM

Pathetic

How did it get this far, where some people actually believe the only way to reform healthcare is through a public option?!!! Unbelievable what propoganda can do. Its time for a sanity check and wake up call.

Monday, October 19, 2009 10:00 AM

add the unions to that list

The unions are holding Obama and the democrats hostage, same as they did with business.

Thursday, October 15, 2009 08:32 PM

public option is not competition

Those who call the public option competition simply don't know what they're talking about. "True competition" means allowing businesses and individuals to buy health insurance across state lines, creating more options and choices,which reduces costs.

Democrats lost sight of the ball when they became obsessed and

fixated on the insurance industry, and the fact that Obama's in bed with the unions only distorts it further.

The most solid solutions for health/insurance reform have

come from conservatives: through torte reform; also allowing insurance to be bought across state lines, and cost reduction.

Original article: Are we bipartisan now?

philosophically different

This is a joke. Its pretty black and white: you're either

for government takeover or you're against it...there's very little gray area.

Wednesday, October 14, 2009 02:12 PM

there are other options, other choices if they really want to solve the problem

Conservatives have identified excellent opportunities to Reduce Costs, but democrats are "stuck on stupid"---they'd rather play games with the insurance companies than actually reduce costs and solve problems.

Tuesday, October 13, 2009 09:29 PM

focus on costs

Just Focus on Reducing Costs and everyone wins; then you don't have to play games. Democrats are obsessed with the insurance industry and they're overlooking tremendous opportunity to reduce costs.

start over

If Snowe has any sense at all, she'll tell them the truth, that they need to scrap the bill and Start Over. We can't afford to pay higher premiums. We're going backwards, not forward.

Tuesday, October 13, 2009 08:18 AM

preying on the young

Democrats are screwing the very people who voted for them: the

naive, young, in their 20's., forcing them to buy health insurance. And if they choose Not to buy insurance and opt for the $1,000 penalty instead, then that means the rest of us will pay through higher premiums. What a great plan.

do we live in America or do we live in Cuba?

So, Fox News is the only station that paid any attention to

ACORN, and now our president /dictator is attacking Fox? Wow, Obama's taken "control" to dangerous new levels. I force myself to listen to all the stations, but I have to admit

Fox is the only one that's informative, analytical and actually

reports All the news.

Germany's health care system is in financial trouble

If you diversify where you're getting your news and information --you'd realize Germany's healthcare system is financially unstable! That's not one we want to benchmark....

Friday, October 9, 2009 08:22 AM

haha ha

I just love getting all of you in a tither... You're sooooo predictable, and you can't say anything without using profanity. You remind me of middle school bullies.

Friday, October 9, 2009 08:02 AM

everyone is asking

Hate to burst your bubble, however, if you broaden your reading and listening beyond MSNBC, you'd know that most people are asking that same question that Steele is asking.

Its shocking to know that you can win a Peace prize just through words, instead of Accomplishment. All this does is

Diminish the prize.
