Just heard on NPR (BBC) some woman saying basically, Dems have caved on Pubic Option... |
|
...that they're meekly saying "Well, it's not a requirement" and that at BEST, they'll settle for non-profit regional health care co-ops (which CANNOT compete well enough or at all with huge for-profit insurance companies - which is why the bastards who bought the Democrats are pushing for them or no public option at all - and Dems are caving in to that).
I think that's where we're at folks -- in which case they may as well NOT BOTHER with this at ALL because it's NOT REFORM. Bunch of pantywaist ninnies.
IF NOT NOW, WHEN? IF NOT THEM, WHO? IF THEY CANNOT *GET THIS DONE NOW* - THEY NEVER WILL BE ABLE TO.
I have NO patience with such lack of political will. The damned mandate was handed to them in November 2008. They need to either USE it or they'll LOSE it - meaning we ALL lose. MORONS!
:mad: :grr: :mad: :grr:
:banghead:
Just forget it. :-\

11. well they keep saying 'the public option is still on the table' - and it IS - BUT |
|
it's not "required" - is also what they're saying.
I cannot BELIEVE the cowardice.

this is the first time many Obama supporters will get past how great he looks and how good he sounds and REALLY LISTEN to what he is ACTUALLY SAYING

I was an Edwards supporter - (now glad he didn't get the nom), then a Hillary supporter. I think she would have had more balls than the rest of the dems put together.

19. just be sure you do it before they set their little buds on... |

8. What you choose to not listen to |
|
is when the Obama supporters have actually criticized Obama. I've been called an Obama-bot and a cheerleader by the likes of you, but you've overlooked the times I've criticized him. Now, you will conveniently say "I told you so" by selectively listening to what you want to hear.

I fucking call it as I see it and like with bush, I've seen everything unfold exactly as I expected. There's nothing CONVENIENT about that, it is just a fucking FACT. Has Obama been worse than, say McCain would have been? HELL NO. Is Obama the best we could have had? HELL NO.

10. Sorry I can't remember her name. It wasn't US media but BBC - in the middle of the night... |
|
...not sure if that matters or not but that's what it was.

13. Uh Oh. You said Pantywaist ninnies. Prepare for a locked topic. |
|
I share your frustration but what pisses me off even more is that they are teasing us... dangling a piece of cheese on a string with their unclear language.
