[YOURINQUIRER]

The argument over what the "far right" verses "far left" is kind of reminds me of the whole "atheist fundamentalist" nonsense. Muslim fundamentalists fly planes into buildings. Christian fundamentalists blow up abortion clinics. Atheist fundamenatlists write books.

In Britain we say that Americans have the republicans which are like our conservative party and the democrats which are like our conservative party

@bohemianwriter1 - If it is a Human right then we shouldn't even need insurance! We should force doctors into servitude!

[ENCXBG1]

@SketchyBack - So you think think the government doesn't waste any money that could be put to better use and save the jobs of our Teachers, Police or Firefighters? Really? Why are we building new Multi-million dollar City Halls, Fire Stations, Schools and Police Stations if we can't keep them staffed? Could it be that our government likes to keep the money flowing to Union contractors while at the same time using cuts to core services as a wedge issue to try and push through new tax increases?

@BrightonContrarian10 and are also the same as labour and the lib dems

[SketchyBack]

People who think that the government should balance its budget because people have to balance THEIR budgets are understandable ... and incredibly stupid. That's not how it works. If the government starts cutting back at the same time as people... you get what we have now - teachers, firefighters, and police - fired, states - bankrupt, demand - low => SUSTAINED LOW ECONOMIC GROWTH.

Obama is a weakling. He got no guts, and have sold his soul to corporate bastards. Now, I am looking for a reason to strip him off his Nobel Prize, and send him to the same horrible prison where GWB and Cheney belongs in...

[bohemianwriter1]

No, he didn't! If Obama implimented universal HC, then a lot more people would have been saved. And the doctors would be way too busy to even be able to think of protesting. They would be hired to actually do their JOBS instead of being too busy writing out bills for chicken to their disenfranchised patients. What you seem to not understand is that health, or HC is not a commodity like gold, oil or corn....

It's a human right! Unless you die out in the wilderness without access to anything.
