Would you say the Republican outrage is based more on "Profiteering"

[Winterblues]

for the Health Insurance Industry, or on Political survival, or Rascism?
I know it is a combination of all three but IMO the main drive is Survival. They know and understand if We get good Health care for everyone they will be out of Power for decades to come. Especially if a Black man delivers for America. This is truly a must win situation for Republicans and they will stoop to any level to stop this Health Care Reform idea or for that matter anything the Democrats wish to achieve. America is really going to witness how Ugly Republicans truly are in the next few years.

1. It is more like our Anti-war movement

We were all lock step against the wars that Bush supported. Now not a peep from DU about the wars.

If McCain/Palin won, and decided to overhaul the health insurance industry, the GOP would be all in favor of reform.

The GOP is just anti-Obama. They are fighting Obama, not reform.

5. You are wrong about DU being peep less on the Wars

Many if not most here are adamantly opposed to either the Iraqi Occupation or the Afghanistan Occupation. We want our troops out of both countries ASAP. There are some willing to give Obama the benifit of the doubt but I am not one of those.. I want the killing to stop NOW. I want military bidget cut by seventy percent and the money used to really Defend America. Defend America from sickness, cancer, tobacco exposure, homegrown terrorists etc... I want our infrastructure maintained, education funded, and laws enforced.

6. I was looking more at the Street

Every Saturday there is an Peace Protest in Wappinger's Falls NY (at the corner of Route 9 and Route 9D).
Back in the Bush days there would be a dozen folks out there. Every weekend.
Now it is just Pete Seeger and a couple Greens.
(Seeger is in his 80s and still gets out every weekend to demonstrate!)

9. I still oppose the Iraq war and want us completely out

I've always supported the effort in Afghanistan.

11. There has been much discussion here about the wars under Obama.

And no little outrage expressed.

2. Survival

They know if dems pass any healthcare reform, they have no...NO..chance in 2012!

3. Honestly, I think it is mostly cultural and racial.

Their world as they see it is threatened. Sure there is some political survival there, but why are they republicans in the first place.

4. The outrage comes from losing. They really don't like that....n/t
