Hey, if you don't like the public option, blue dog assholes, then COMPROMISE..

and, support a SINGLE-PAYER SYSTEM. It will address every one of your concerns, and we can pay for it.

1. Conservatives do not Compromise, have you not noticed???

A Conservative is a Conservative, whether a D or R is behind their
name.

2. It is an interesting phenomenon.

People have different views on how things should be done.

Some people can not think enough to change their views, and some people have a view that makes them think their position is correct.

Say your on the side of a mountain, and you pick a rope to grab and climb up. When your half way up, rarely is their a reason to start questioning the rope you are on. They know the rope, it is part of the entire first part of their climb, and it is all they know. At that point they figure they are committed, and from that it no longer matters if their rope is secure or not, it is all they got, so they figure they might as well stick with it.

Its a funny thing, really interesting, many times they never even see the other ropes, and if they do, they are so comfortable with their rope they just keep trying to climb with it.

Even when they see the fire burning up the rope to them, many times they would rather stay on their rope then think about one of those 'other groups' ropes.

And if they really think they are right, it may even be the noble and correct thing to do. But do they really think it is right, or just what they know and what is best for them.

It is really astounding to watch.

I also do know some would say the same thing about me from their perspective, :shrug: but there is also flying.

3. +5? This post is proof that the new system is working.

4. I bet there are a lot more recs, but many more unrecs.

And, I don't like the system, either.

5. Blue Dogs. The best politicians money can buy.

They are aesthetically correct in their political-ness, however, without all the mess that generally accompanies a REAL Democrat. You know, like doing stuff for people instead of corporations or themselves.
