And yet the only fingers you can point are still at the Democratic party.. rob... take off the partisan blinders and actually join in the discussions.


How many times have I posted that ALL incumbents need to be replaced? I'm not the one with partisan blinders Taz, you got me confused with Owner & Sanity.

You simply have no idea what you're talking about. You're framing it as a political stance, but you're simply clueless (except for the NYC weirdness--you and your mayor are on your own with that one).

Stifling charters? SUNY has an institute promoting them--here's a list, by region:
http://www.newyorkcharters.org/parentSchoolList.htm

Crazy retirement benefits? Like what? An entire tier just got eliminated.

Coal is an extremely dirty industry responsible for NY's acid rain. Perhaps it's not a great idea. The windmills we're building pay for themselves in 6 months. That strikes me as damn feasible. We aren't using a lot of solar.

What's wrong with making SS safe in Bush's privatization plan? The stock market crash.

None of these things, except coal, have anything to with Obama. The same Obama who's energy program has us again exporting petroleum since 2011 for the first time since 1949.

Without the Bush tax cuts and the unfunded wars, we'd be running surpluses. Bush and Obama share that one.

He's Bush Lite, essentially continuing the same policies.

With the exception of health care, which is largely the Republican plan countering Clinton's ideas.

You wouldnt have a clue what "radical left" was if it bit you on the arse. I`m not even sure Obama is any further left than David Clegg, let alone Tony Blair, both of them are considered moderate in the UK.

FDR was a "leftie".

Senator Sanders is a not only a "leftie", I've heard he's an avowed <gasp> socialist and yet the people of his state love him.

I know one thing for sure, this country had better get its act together, get its priorities straight. We can't keep powering our lifestyles on a finite resource. And we can't keep giving corporations huge tax cuts, loopholes and other benefits at the expense of our infrastructure, schools and the poor and disabled.

No. What you claimed is a lie.

The fact is the NLRB is attempting to enforce the contract between the union and Boeing. Boeing is ignoring the contract the voluntarily entered into with the unions representing their employees.

In a sane world this would outrage conservatives but it today's upsidedown idiocy of partisanship no conservative can support fair and equal treatement of unions as bargaining units because that undermines the fuedal powers of the oligarchs.

My only point is that these two subjects are not interconnected. I'm not sure but I think you'll need a better argument to support your position.

Oh yes they are....extremely connected.


For example.......will you take someone`s word for it that they don`t need car insurance because THEY won`t get into an accident and cause more damage than he/she can afford to compensate for?

After you answer that honestly....

Will you take someone`s word for it that they don`t/won`t need health insurance because THEY will never get sick or injured or if they do,they won`t ask for free care(and bleed out after the car accident they had w/out the car insurance they didn`t need)?

Now if they aren`t going to pay for the care we all know they may need....who is?

Or are you freedom lovers really serious that you would refuse care in uninsured?

Or are you freedom loving unisured Americans going to stick that bill to the American tax payer.

Ltns Bull,how ya been?

Actually the whole bunch needs to be fucked.

To scream support for Obama and the Dems is just as blind and unimpressive as shouting support for Romney and the Repubs.

They all lie to suit some corporate purpose, including Obama. Just like the wars profit someone so does yor precious ACA. And if you remember at the time they were arguing about health care the whole bunch liked the parts of it, as few as they are that the general population seemed(s) to favor.

Health Care needs fixed, now as much as before this bill became law.

I suspect that my Rep (a Repub that I voted for) would like to block my phone number from his office. I have done little more than chew on his ass for serval years now. And my Senator is most likely just as annoyed.

By the way, the number to the Capitol Switchboard is 202-224-3121. Save this number to your phone, when you see the House or the Senate doing something you agree with or disagree with, or when you have heard they're about to act on an issue that concerns you or US. CALL your Rep or your Senator.

If you aren't sure who you should call tell the switchboard operator your Zip Code and she can put you through...

Be sure that you don't overlook the "small" bills they are always trying to railroad through that rob you of an evergrowing amount of your freedoms.

In short, if tyhis is the only place you bitch then shut the fuck up.

I'm doing great 59, thanks for askin' I hope life finds you the same.

Actually I wasn't arguing that folks need insurance to travel the same roadways as you and I. I in fact pay tens of thousands of dollars a year to use those roads.

I was only commenting on the argument that simply to drive you need insurance; you can drive off the public roadways, off public properties and on your own property with no insurance all you want. You may not get anywhere, but you can drive until your heart is content. I was attempting to point out that an argument should be properly waged or its factual balance can be spun and its volume forced inaudible.

It is the shared privilege of community that needs to be considered here.

Should the Community be liable for my health? Do you find it important to finance Sanity's health care? Or just that of those that concur with your perspective. Now I actually believe that good health care is a social concern, not from a financial perspective, but rather a human standpoint. The next Black Death might be just around the corner if solid and beneficial health care isn't available.

We do need social health care, but not that equivilent to Cadillac plans. If we don’t put forth the effort to secure excess luxury then we should have unnatural 38DDD’s. We can't all drive a Caddy now, nor should we, but we should all have the ability to get to work and look after our own brood; even if that comes in the form of public transportation. (Please try to see my analogy in all of this.) Incidentally, the advanced railway system that Obama wants to install across the country is one of his better ideas in my opinion. Expensive yes, but much cheaper than Wars we seem willing to finance and still a place that Corporate America can invest its resources and generate even greater profits that benefit us all.

Health care isn't a right, it isn't a privilege; it's a necessity when you have a communal society, which defines humanity on almost any level.

I found out recently that one of my messages to my Congressional Rep was laughed at. I insisted that our American Aristocracy (Corporate America) had lost its way. It was no longer looking after its own and the backbone of its version of the American dream. Not everybody can or even wants to be a Rockefeller, but a Rockefeller needs everybody. They need management, labor, support and most importantly, consumers. That would pretty much encompass all of us.

Concurrently if even just one of us, even the most inconsequential of us all contracted a small pox type virus again, not even a Rockefeller would be safe from the effects. So like insurance to utilize public roadways I believe we most construct a health care system that serves the AMERICAN public.

I just don't think this ACA is the answer, but thankfully it has brought urgency to the issue.

This law does need repealed, it didn’t do the job. It too was bought out and owned by Corporate America with only profits and losses at its heart. We in America need to start taking care of our own, and remember that we are all little more than one big family and we’d mourn the loss of even that goofy ass uncle/aunt that everyone kind of shrugs about when their asked about him/her. I believe that might describe a good number of you perves around here.

Typical left counter arguments it "isn't true" or I am "misinformed". sigh.... I suppose if you are one of those getting benefits then I see where your self interest would be but, looking objectively, how can you support a system that steals money from one group to give it to another group? a system that perpetuates the corrupt circular flow of money between public unions and politicians who then support exorbitant pay and benefits for public workers?
Bottom line is I believe in individualism over collectivism and that my freedom to earn money, not have it confiscated by my government and live my life as I see fit is all important. Naturally I support the same for everyone else, just not at my expense.


You are misinformed, but as you have had other responses to HOW you are misinformed and flat out wrong,Im just going to add this.... You suppose a lot of things, which just dont have merit in fact. Its called society for a reason, and calmly you try to ignore the corporation system of putting as many people out of work to put more money in the pockets of their cronies, I find that to be so hypocritical you simply are NOT worth the time to do more than laugh at.DOnt believe everything you think... you believe in "individualism" but expect everyone to feel the same as you..bless yer heart.

That Obama sometimes masks his far left ideology doesnt make him any less of a Marxist

The fact that the US is a center-right nation as a whole means that he cant be open about who he is, but if one pays attention to the speeches he gives to his far left allies in labor etc, pays attention to the various slips of the tongue as in his "spread the wealth around" quip to Joe the Plumber... Reads his fictional memoirs etc, one gets the true sense of the man

Though I must admit he is not all there and sometimes tries to sound like Ronald Reagan one day then forgets that speech the next. Promised to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term for example, and more than doubled it instead

Like the true leftist that he is

Pushed socialized medicine as hard as he thought he could get away with, even pushed hard enough that he admitted it may hinder his reelection bid

The far left is foolish beyond words if they cant see the game he plays, even while everyone else can
