How can Republicans be so completely out of touch with the American people.

[DillonX]

The party of no.

The party of nothing.

Let them block the health care bill.

And make them pay for it in 2010 as most people want the Public Option.

Sick,sick,sick! What a sick attitude!

Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!! That freaking guy is freaking hilarious!!

OMG! I think I just fell in love again! Isn't it the GOP that's always talking about State's rights and WHY IS IT THAT THEY NEVER LIVE UP TO THAT? WE'RE WISE TO THE LIES! They only seem concerned about CORPORATE RIGHTS but neither side of the aisle is being honest anymore. Did I mention I make a great smoked turkey? Sorry Al Gore but I'm courting!

Solid point of view. There will be health reform let's just hope that it is done right.

But the problem I have is that there haven't been any inclination or indication that the GOP's agenda is anything other than 'bipartisan defeatism'. Kucinich's vote was due to there not being single-payer option as he's a strong supporter of it. Although I always hold out hope and would really love to see true bipartisanship from the GOP, from recent and past history, I doubt it. You'd better make that martini a double with a Heineken back. Better yet, make that a pitcher...

Don't worry Larry, I'm sure Oprah and or Anderson Cooper will soon have a hard hitting report on the problem. OK, I'm kidding but it kind of makes you think... I haven't ever seen Kucinich on Oprah either.

[Larrymcphereson]

Yes, as I understand it, the "public option" isn't really open to "the general public" either which makes it VERY misleading! Our corrupt media has not fairly covered Health Care but instead runs advertIsements for the FOR PROFITs. I think the Kucinich response on Democracy Now which you can view right here on You Tube or in my favorites or those on DemocracyCorner should be required viewing especially for the Senate. P.S. WE HAVE A PRIVATE CORPORATION CENSORING OUR DEBATES FOR PUBLIC OFFICE!

its fatal, like a naval military armada

[FlowerClown]

Same thing they said durning the Medicare debate. Granted taxes need to be raised to pay for it we all know that. Its not the 80's where we just lower taxes and spend like crazy.A VAT tax or an import tax should do the trick.Get ride of the Bush tax cuts and off shore tax havens Then there is the No limit on funding on the war on terror because as Bush said we can not put a price on freedom and our security.

To give every one FREE health care and to add it the the national debt is just crazy.

[MrGovtCheese]

Kucinich voted no because he thinks it's weak and the including public option isn't strong enough.

Notwithstanding the fate of H.R. 3962, America will someday come to recognize the broad social and economic benefits of a not-for-profit, single-payer health care system, which is good for the American people and good for Americas businesses, with of course the notable exceptions being insurance and pharmaceuticals."
