Papantonio: Democrats and Obama - Do or Die

[onstageagain]

Obama is a creation of the world media. A multi racial man, who has never had NO said to him. A child, given everything on a silver platter, a bright guy, could speak well, learn well. Navigate around the ultra left wing of Hawaii, Got a schollarship to Punahou, Harvard on Affirmative Action. No ones ever stood up to him when it happens the guy looks lost. This is reality, he looked shaken when the polls lost Nov 2, He doesn't understand the world he's in . The guy is in over his head.

I find it both funny and sick that there are right now only 2 industries in America that are allowed to be legally monopolistic- major league Baseball and Health insurance?!?

Oh, and pork has rarely exceeded a half a percentage point of a large spending bill, and rarely 1% of a small bill-- how did the guy go from hundreds of millions (he was talking Louisiana) to hundres of billions?? that's like saying the government's giving everyone 500 thousand dollars back on taxes this year, ie X1000!

We need progressive primary challenges of all blue dog democrats and conservative democrat senators.

The free market system and the amount of money corporations want and the money they give to the politicians is enjoyed by a small elite crowd that screws everybody else by using fearmongering to scare the un-informed.

Pap is wrong here...same old bs stuff...the market the market my kingdom for a market...THERE SHOULD BE NO PROFIT in HEALTH...period. What that repeal will do, without other legislation, is raise premiums - just look at what deregulation did to the Airlines.

[garthggarth]

Yes, i agree, but on business, Mike is being somewhat realistic- They will raise premiums for a while- but I beleive if they do that, it will drive home to the public the need for a quick, powerful public option, and hopefully--PREVENTATIVE care. The fulcrum of health care cost balances between preventative care and education awareness. The Dems will survive it, even with a weak bill, because they can strenghten it later, i beleive. It's better than nothing. And there are regulation in it.
