Right
Who are you referring to?
The blue dog that has received 1.3 million in contributions from the health sector?

This is pure propaganda

The fact is - Americans are turning against the Democratic proposals. Members of Congress - Democrats, are turning away from this legislation. Even you cannot dispute this.
I think the only "Facts" you like, are ones that cannot be proven.

I read the thread about Kent Conrad, blue dog from ND.

I don't suppose you can be troubled for a link.

Listen up, because once you give healthcare to the government, you won't get it back in the private sector again.

This is NOT about parties.

Yes, the insurance companies are rip-offs, and they don't care about us. Denying coverage on pre-existing conditions is wrong. There are a lot of wrongs. But let's not give it all up to the government. You have to look at the big picture, and that is, if you give everything over to the government, you have socialism.

Please don't go on about Sweden or Canada or any other socialistic nation. They are not us. They don't have our population and they don't have millions of illegals running their borders yearly. Denmark has a great socialized medical system, but they have less people in the whole country than greater Phoenix. And it is a homogeneous population.

We cannot compare ourselves to small countries. It is always easier to do things on a smaller level than a grand scale.

But quite simply, here, in America, the government is not to be in the business of our healthcare. And the government cannot own part of GM.

Sure it is.
Its about a small group of sore losers who still haven't accepted that America elected Barack Obama.
The public option was part of his campaign - we voted for him.

I suggest you start dealing with reality.
