If it doesn't have a public option then I'd rather see the bill die in the house. I'm tired of all this neo-liberal corporate dicksucking that the government has been doing for the last 30 years, particularly the RNC but the DNC does it as well.

And Chuck Todd is losing relevancy as a news reporter.

Amazing what a month can do....my ass

You mean the the racist Dixiecrats who existed solely for the purpose of holding back the tide of Civil Rights? Stay the fuck away from my Democratic Party. We have no use for you.

watch sicko and the ONLY "democrat" at the signing for bush's retarded prescription drug plan is that asshole traitor baucus.

wow tj -- what float in the wacky parade did you fall off of today? JFK was attacked right and left for being a "socialist". Just look up Ronnie Reagun's AMA paid for publicity stunt against "socialized medicine" way back in 1961. You morons have been sipping the same nut juice for 50 years now. All that sugar isn't good for you.

he's a center-righty.. he'd parley with the conservatard fascists but discounts the Progressive Democratic Heroes.

Chuck Todd is losing relevancy on everything. He's a shill.

Mmm....pretty sure conservativism has long been left to the GOP. Obama is as clear as it gets that uniquely American socialism is the way that the executive govt. is going to run for at least the next 3/5 years.

Yeah, I think it comes down to campaign finance reform (real reform) and the corrupting influence that corporate personhood has on democracy. Also the people (you and me and everyone else) actually need to get organized as a coherent block. A citizens union would work nicely in that regard.

True, but there's also more to a human than a brain. For my part I'd prefer to have a publicly owned nonprofit alternative to the corporate interests driven only by profit motive, hence my comment on corporate dicksucking. Public systems work better in every other developed country just fine, nothing to think it won't do so in this country as well, assuming the bill is actually written properly.

Really and truly, the 1st reform that needs doing before all others--and everything Obama's done since taking office highlights this painfully well--needs to be the CHANGE CONGRESS proposal:
