The Democrats never learn their lesson--they are always looking for bi[artisan support.Force the hand of the Republicans and make them vote down a real health care bill that has a public option. I agree that there is a growing disgust among Dems that the party is giving up a chance to undue the nightmare of the last 8 years.

What we are left with is the need for a good independent to run .. We need someone in the middle. Someone that is focused on getting things done. Not stand for everything their party wants. Its not supposed to be about what they want. Its what we want. The american tax paying people. Why have all this shit voted on by congress when the people should vote on it. Its like a big chess game we are just pawns we have to do whatever they want. Fight and die for a war you may not believe in or whatever

This is Paolo7219. Watched the video. Good one. I think the Republicans are living in fantasyland if they think they are on a comeback. George W. Bush did permanent damage to the Republican Party. The Dems? Guys like Chris Dodd are as bad as any Republican, so where does that leave us? The whole system of government in DC is corrupt. We need to change that for REAL reform. Just my .02.

Think about it if you got one person saying mr. boss sir i need a raise I work 40 hours plus anywhere between 10 to 20 hours overtime but i only bring home 400 a week i can even pay rent with that.. I am sorry its not in our budget. but him and his friends just got a $150,000 bonus.... Ok now you got all 50,000 people that work for the company saying yo we need fair pay and helthcare.. instead of you and all the big payoffs for the assholes in the office doing nothing but sucking someones balls

you know how Unionizing going to help ? It will give you a voice ! Think about it. When the unions made the deal with the helthcare tax Fox news and the right wing staff went nuts. they were crying its not fair and who is fighting for us. When you belong to a union your not alone.. your strong by numbers. Just like the "tea party" they are making a little noise no sence but noise because of numbers. it gives them a voice. What is so bad about unions to you anyway?........ Laborers Local 593!!!

How the hell is unionizing going to stop that? They can nix your job whenever they want. Ask everyone else who has lost their job already to NAFTA and Red China.

Maybe if you union goons had brains in your skulls, you'd be writing your congressmen telling them to abandon free trade and establish a tariff to correct the trade imbalance and stop the flood of outsourcing.

How come these "we care about the workers" union bosses never reduce our union dues? They just keep going up and up year after year. Unions are no less greedy then corporations.
