It's weird. Maybe this comes from my die-hard Republican college days, but I get political "mood swings". Some days, I feel like a moderate, leaning slightly left in some issues, slightly right on others. I am calm and collected, and usually find that both sides are partly right and partly wrong...

By debating this bill based on ideas and laws that it does not contain, aren't we losing out on logical, reasonable debate? Seriously, if we keep debating death panels, eliminating the federal ban on abortion funding, free ice cream and puppies (heck, while we're debating things the bill doesn't...

Was it so that they wouldn't look loony when nothing controversial happened?

Both of these are issues, and both need to be addressed. It would be foolish to focus exclusively on one and ignore the other.

A) No health care changes at all. It's fine the way it is. Let the free market decide. 2) Heath care refom is necessary, but public insurance is not the option. Regulate the private insurers, help people afford private insurance, and let it be. C) I support the public insurance option 4) I...

Apparently a fetus has the "right to life", but not someone who can't afford health insurance and gets cancer. In my opinion, these people are not really "pro-life", they are just anti-abortion. EDIT: vote_usa (and all): for the record, I am both pro-life and pro-universal health care.

...lawyers, so it isn't? How can this situation be solved? If OJ was poor, he could not have afforded the "dream team", and would have most probably been found guilty. Thus, Justice is NOT blind, and can be bribed by the wealthy. Here is my solution to the problem: ALL lawyers are put into a...

A small family car. He's an environmentally-friendy everyman.

Mitt Romney's health care reform was a disaster. He forced people to buy health care without giving them an affordible government option, thus leting the companies make enormous profits off the burden of the average joe, in usual Republican fashion. Luckily, Obama's plan does not follow Mitt's...

First of all, let me say: I agree with you. MSNBC, CNN, etc. all have a decidely Liberal bias, which is simply wrong. (Yes, it IS possible for a Liberal to agree with you. I also oppose gun control and affirmative action, if you must know) However, let's not kid ourselves: Fox News has a...

I think, in that particular case, it is justified, but the results could be awful for someone who really IS innocent.

I mean, who cares about poor people anyway? I don't know about you, but I would rather have poor people die in the streets than have to take a few dollars out of my wallet to give them health care. Bill, no he doesn't. That's Rush Limbaugh speaking. No part of the health care plan gives the...

Of course not. haven't the Republicans told you? You are better off without health insurance! Obviously you don;t listen to Rush Limbaugh. Honestly? Obama's plan will not allow them to block you due to ANY preexisting condition. You WILL get insurance, and you WILL get treated.

I mean, do people really think that Dave investigated into which Palin daughter was at the game, or do you think the joke was really aimed at Bristol, since she has already been "knocked up"? Am I the only one seeing this as a REAL stretch to create controversy?

...education, fire or police protectio? We are paying for people to get an education through the Public schools that they could not otherwise afford, but do not complain. We are paying for people to have their homes protected by firemen and policemen; protection they would not normally be able...
