Liberal agenda? where? Obama isn't a liberal; neither are the pro-corporate pols he chose to staff his administration with or the blue dogs who control the legislative process......

 

I don't know why you're complaining jb, he got us out of Iraq, finally established the long overdue Energy policy for the country and closed Guantanamo and he seems like a nice guy. I'm really proud that the head cheese is literate and intelligent again. Even the colleges seem to sense it. President Obamas major campaign contributors: "The organizations themselves did not donate, rather the money came from the organization's PAC, its individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals' immediate families."

In fact they report that the greater amount of his campaign funding came from lawyers and retired people at 43 million and 42 million respectively.

I'm already with you (philosophically) on gay marriage, although I don't believe it's necessarily an equal protection issue. I would like to see it passed into law by a vote of the enlightened/fair minded and not ordered by the courts. I'm leaning toward j_b/Prole on tighter banking controls too. I couldn't give a fuck about exec pay and bonuses, but no bank should be "too big to fail"--or indescribable from a loan shark operation. Break the big ones apart TR/Taft style. But you can forget about universal government health care and should reevaluate how you define liberal values. I remain convinced that allowing government into our collective asses is a bad idea.

I'd rather take my chances of getting fucked by the government than by Corporate Insurance America, who I know definitly won't have the common courtesy to give us a reach-around.

you guys lose one friggin' race and you're all overwrought one day later.

 

talk about insecurity :grlaf:

 

I've gotta agree with you. What's with the "oh, we'll just roll over and wait for the new guy to deal with Healthcare" pablum BS? They've got a filibuster proof majority for two weeks, ram that sucker through and tell the Republicans to fuck off. Lose one battle and give up? How about a little leadership instead. Harry Reid is likely going down the next election anyway, he should stop being a coward and get something done.

True enough. Did Gingrich worry about not ramming shit through for the "Contract" in '94? Sack up, Dems. How the minority party feels is (mostly) irrelevant.

OMFG, I would love it if they tried to do this! The Dems have been hesitant all along because 84% of the American public has some form of coverage and are gonna be pissed off if they have to pay more for less.
