I wonder why they are not raising hell about how many troops we have lost under the Obama administration.

They used to post body counts daily and all of a sudden they are also gone.

So far, Obama has had one of the worst months for deaths to our soldiers in July then we have had in almost 2 years.

Great commander he is. NOT!

When are they coming home like you promised us Barry?

You have 8 months left to have them all home like you promised us.

The clock is ticking Obama to get those men and woman home like you
promised us you would.

I agree he should pull them out. Do you agree or are you just attempting to find further fault with Obama

I wish people would stop throwing the word socialism around so casually. Do you consider France a socialist nation? Germany? Canada? Britain?

Don't worry, we aren't going to take your guns, we are just trying to let poor people go to the doctor.

Poor people can already go to the Doctor. (thanks to a socialist program we already have in place, called Medicaid)

If it were truly about trying to help people, they wouldn't be trying to ram it through. They would be taking their time making sure things get done to the best of their abilities.

As far as the word socialism itself. It is fitting. The definition of socialism is simply the government owning industry.

This push for government healthcare will give ownership of (at least part ownership) of the healthcare industry.

funny, I was going to say the same thing to you people... you're all on drugs, get a grip.

France has the best healthcare system in the world, I say we do what they do. And I love the terms "we are the richest country in the world". Well how is that working out for us now?? Not very well.

You're making the mistake of thinking that just because it isnt in the media, it isnt happening.

Just because their is no coverage by the national media about anti-war sentiments, doesnt mean it doesnt exist.

The media covers the big and new topics. Anti-war is old hat.

False.

It is only offering a government sponsored healthcare plan.

The ownership of doctor's offices, hospitals, pharmacies, and all other healthcare businesses will not change.

In socialism, government either has a dominate position or owns the entire industry and a public option is not offered.

In this plan, all the public options will still exist.

That isnt socialism.
