We won. No more of this bipartisan crap when it comes to healthcare.

I'm sick of bipartisanship.

Why in the world do you include the same Republican sociopaths who created this catastrophe in crafting a solution?

I think the events on the Recovery bill of this past week taught the President a lesson my mother taught me when I was a child. Stay away from crazy people.

When you deliver affordable and guaranteed healthcare to the American people, the Republican brand dies. Hopefully this depraved bunch is gone for good--like the dinosaurs, if not forever, at least for many decades.

What follows is the grotesque American reality of 2009.

We haven't heard about family values for some time, have we? This is a portrait of family life in the United States after eight years of depraved Republican rule and indifference. American families have been simply destroyed:

This is from the Feb. 13 PBS Newshour and it will break you heart.

Hissyspit: Videos are MUST-VIEW, IMHO. About ten minutes total.

1. When the guy who won ran on a rather centrist healthcare package,

with a promise to be bipartisan and invite everyone to the table, it does not fill me with hope as regards that particular fight.

8. Well lets hope he is no fool. nt

2. I agree

[NRaleighLiberal]

3. It is clear that any further efforts toward bipartisanship - for anything - will be wasted.

Full speed ahead! No keeping the powder dry any longer....open the window and let the powder blow in the wind! We don't need it...we've got the power!

[BrklynLiberal]

4. Could not be more apparent....no such thing as bi-partisan as far as they are

concerned. They always see it as weakness...

5. If Barack would be the leader he has in him.. he had better figure

out which way the Country is going, jump out in front and grab a flag. The American people overwhelmingly want the worry and heartbreak of un affordable healthcare solved...SOLVED not patched up and resold with a new name and all the same problems.

And most people are willing to pay for this with their taxes, too. (forget which poll)

12. We already pay more per capita for healthcare than those countries with socialized plans.

The money's already there, but it's being diverted away from care by the same fat, greedy bastards who we've come to know so well.

Medicare manages to spend only $.12/$1.00 on admin, yet the insurance companies can't do it for less than $.45????

The system's not broken, it's corrupt.

6. There are many more rethugs who agree with Obama and the Dems

on healthcare. I hope it's not as contentious a subject.

7. When you deliver affordable and guaranteed healthcare to the American people,...

When you deliver affordable and guaranteed healthcare to the American people, the Republican brand dies
When you deliver affordable and guaranteed healthcare to the American people, the Republican brand dies

9. k&r your reply!

Edit period just ran out and I can't bold the sentence in my OP. Wish I had.

10. It's time for universal health care - at the very least they could remove the age

restrictions on medicare - open it up to all. Not only is it simply the right thing to do, I would think Obama could get traction for it by reminding businesses that without health care costs they are more competitive against other multi-nationals that don't have these costs because their countries have already figured out how to provide basic health care for all.

13. kick. . . . . .n/t

[Hissyspit]

11. kicking nt

[bridgit]

14. I'm all for that. If this Judd Gregg fiasco didn't prove they have no intent to by bipartisan...

then there is no prove. Move on, stuff it where the sun don't shine, and leave republicans in the dust bin of history where they belong
