What an effing mess

Republican or Democrat doesn't seem to matter they are all snakes and liars.

Last I read, we have the best survival rates for Breast and Prostate cancer.

The highest survival rates for (most of) the rest are held by countries in Europe.

Aside from that, the most impressive part of European healthcare isn't that their cancer patients live longer. It's that by percentage, more of their patients are cured of their cancer than are ours.

All these arguments stem from the myth that the U.S. has the best healthcare in the world, which unfortunately, just isn't the case.

Ripped,

Do you know anything about Jones outside of FOX's venom. He was actually given an award by TIME magazine which was called the environmental hero award. He has won multiple civil rights awards and human rights awards. He has done a ton of good in this world and will continue to do so despite being out of government now. Van Jones is a hero in this country - we need more people like van jones to make the world a better place.

When I grow up, I want to be a Healthcare Insurance Company, so that I can screw over as many innocent Americans as possible through denial of care and exorbitant premiums. I want to thank the bewildered bovines of the Tea Party movement for protecting my dream.

Why don't we get rid of home grown terrorist first? Lets see gangs(this includes biker gangs), white supremacist, Corporations that aren't environmentally friendly and religious fundamentalist(ie. Evangelist). The list is huge for terrorist here on our own soil and we nonchalantly go over seas and fight terrorist on other peoples soil. What gives? We need to fix terrorism here in this country first before going over seas.

what do you define as pro-american?

[Plasmon19]

Isn't government supposed to represent the will of the people? So why don't we want the will of the people to take over what the people obviously need? and why is it that people have such big issues with the government? Why not reform the government so that it does good for the people?...It sounds like people look at the government like some sort of monster.

WTF IS DAVID SIROTA? van jones is a national hero.. your a joke.. a complete moron

[cajunstrat]

Why do you see the GOP wearing HUGE bandages on their chins after attending tea parties? It's been proven having a very bad case of the shits is SMARTER than the GOP & their following.
