"But when you compare which party stands more consistently on the side of smaller government intrusion into your life, more individual responsibility and pro-business, the Republicans are the best thing we have."

Yeah, New Orleans, Halliburton, Blackwater, record deficit spending and Bristol-Abstinence Only-Palin are the real-life case studies for that failed experiment. We know the R's mantra, fewer and fewer thinking people are believing that line of bullshit all the time.

That political corporation (The RNC) has spent $350 million spreading lies and disinformation about health care finance and it's reform. Are they too stupid to understand the problem or just being contrary no matter the cost in treasure and credibility? I believe it's a combination of both. This political corporation, just like the Democratic Party (we have to cover this again? - not "DEMOCRAT") are neither necessary to the political processes of this Republic nor, from all evidence at hand, beneficial and provide little or no leadership on any issues. Both are ignoring the cold, hard facts that by 2040 the Medicare and Social Security obligations will consume sixty percent of tax revenues annually. Add to that the 30-40 million "personally irresponsible" that don't have any provision for even basic preventative care and you have a perfect storm of entitlement spending that will surely sink the ship. If we don't make some changes to the three-headed monster at the core of our economy (military budgets, Medicare and Social Security) we will be bankrupt with no credit to draw upon long before 2040. The R's are screeching like stuck pigs about the state of the country and it's budget today, but what, if any leadership did they provide in the 12+ years they were at the helm? I think we've covered that in the second paragraph.

It's short-sighted and foolish to think we can fix everything with one health-care finance bill now, but maybe a step toward that end is worth trying. Is there leadership from either of the two major political corporations on the REAL problems of this country? No. Sadly, I don't think there ever will be.
 
Bill Maher got it right on Friday. A Big, big part of the anger over the health plan is racism. The tebaggers and birthers can't stand that we have a black president and the R's play into that with thinly veiled racist statements and as a whole they will oppose ANYTHING he proposes.

I also suggest most everyone, except a few dyed in the wool R's who won't get it, watch this:

 
I think the key to the lawsuit issue, is if a mistake is made and caught, and the problem rectified. A lawsuit is not really right. (like a surgical sponge left in a wound). Now if you are truly a victim of malpractice (loss of leg arm) with no way of making it right, you need your day in court.
 
'Racism' icharge s ridiculous.

While I am quite certain there are folks from both major political parties who do not like Mr. Obama due to racism, to say that folks don't want the Obama Healthcare bill because of racism doesn't wash. Since the Republican party has done the following:

1. Appointed the first black male sec of state
2. Appointed the first black female sec of state.
3. Appointed the second black male supreme court justice
4. Appointed the first Chinese American sec of labor.
5. Appointed the first female (white) sec of interior.

I don't think you can claim that they are racist.

The democrats appointed the first black male supreme court justice (Marshall) tho if I were a raving conservative (no thanks) I'd say that since it was Johnson who did that, well, he was an honorary Republican being a southern democrat.

Are there racist people in both parties? Certainly. I have met racist democrats and racist republicans. I have met anti-racist democrats and anti-racist republicans. It's the people, not the party.
