On this, Obama is wrong.

[Control-Z]

Caring about our fellow man is partisan. The republicans do not give a shit about anyone outside their little bubble of comfort.

1. True. nt

[Control-Z]

2. I wish he could have called them out on it.

Of course, that would not have been wise.

[Fire1]

3. He's speaking 'ideally.' n/t

[Control-Z]

4. Nah

He was throwing them a bone. It was the diplomatic thing to do. Possibly a little guilt trip as well?

[Fire1]

5. I think he has put diplomacy behind him. He sees it's not

working.

[Control-Z]

7. Then it was

a guilt trip/shame attempt.

[polichick]

8. Too bad sociopaths don't feel guilt. nt

[Control-Z]

10. Oh, yeah.

You're right. I forgot about that.

[polichick]

11. I really wish Dems would quit acting as if they are normal people with hearts...

If we called them out more, maybe fewer people would fall for their con game.

12. You mean Repukes right?

:)

[polichick]

15. Yeah - I wish Dems would quit acting as if Repukes were normal, with hearts. nt

[undeterred]

6. Try to name a 'large-hearted' Republican.

Besides Abraham Lincoln.

[Control-Z]

9. ???

13. Teddy Roosevelt? He called for Universal Health Coverage.

:)

[Bluerthanblue]

16. ... so did Nixon.... not meaning to say he was "large hearted" but

it's true about him wanting all Americans to have health care.

:hi:

17. Roosevelt also tried to steer the Republican party towards Progressivism, took on large corporations

and was pro-environment.

[Bluerthanblue]

14. no- i don't agree. Many of them don't care- but it's prejudice to clump

all into the shit catagory. Let each one individually make their stand.

:hi:

There are some Dems who are pretty self oriented as well. Even here on DU.

[Control-Z]

18. Not really

We choose political parties on the ideals they represent. Are there republican politicians out there cheer leading for our ideals that I don't know about? Siding with us on healthcare? Maybe I haven't been paying attention. There may be the exception, but no, not as a rule.
