Dear President Obama: It's the health care crisis stupid.

[republicansarewhores]

Dear Mr. President and Democratic Party: Scott's win in Massachusetts is what happens when liberal and progressive voters you let down just don't care coming out to the polls anymore to support you. Maybe this a-hole wouldn't have won if you worked at single-payer or public option instead of planting your lips on the asses of Wall Street, big pharma and the health insurance industries instead of doing more for Main Street and the people who put you where you are. Center and right of center isn't the change we voted for. I fear this is going to be a harbinger of things to come at mid-terms so get ready to lose your majority... the majority you could have strengthened really working for the people instead of pretending to. Can you imagine how many would have come out in droves to support your party had you actually stood up to the corporate a-holes you're all in bed with like a bunch of whores (no offense to sex workers). And the biggest question... if you all allow the health care vote to pass at 51 instead of 60, then it's more proof you too are a bunch of lying a-holes that could have done so much more to begin with. The appointment of this male Sarah Palin douchebag to the Senate has to have Teddy Kennedy rolling over in his grave. Good show...

2. It's been all health care, all the time. How's that workin out?

3. +1

Can we now exclude Lieberman from OUR caucus?? Let him find someone else to play with.

[maglatinavi]

5. Lieberman

Too late for any good, but, yes, kick him out of his priviledged positions... On the other hand, how can we kick Obama's ass so that he may salvage something of our democratic ideals and programs??? By the way, what happened to the unions???

4. Exactly. Now Rahm, what was that about you not needing the left?

We'll come crawling back because we have nowhere else to go? How's that workin' out for ya, Rahm?

This should be a huge wakeup call to Democrats.

9. Rahm

16. I'm incredibly pissed off, too. F@ck!!!!!

[galileoreloaded]

6. It's only a crisis if your sick. Or unemployed. Or unemployed, sick, and have no insurance.

Other than that, party on.

[frazzled]

7. Bull, Massachusettsans already have the same HCR, and they like it

(Correction: they have the exact same bill, sans any cost-control measures.) Even Scotty-boy supported it. He just managed to convince voters that they were going to have to "pay for it" again. Why should they help anyone in, say, Ohio?

And this is the attitude I encountered in Massachusetts: they really do think they are the hub of the universe; they have absolutely no idea about the rest of the country; and they don't even think they need anything outside of themselves.

10. Also, Tim Geithner and Larry Summers...

And the drones in the war in Afghanistan. And the anti-trust laws. And the regulations. And the criminal investigations. And Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck. And the jobs programs. And Goldman Sachs. And the big bankers. And TARP. And Rahm Emanuel. And the DLC. And Joe Lieberman. And General David Petraeus and Bob Gates. And Olympia Snowe. And arrogance.

11. It's the kissing up totally to Wall-Street and

pissing on mainstreet all the while saying it's raining.

[TxRider]

12. I don't think so

Most Americans like their healthcare.

They know there are some without, but they are reasonably happy with theirs.

What they are not happy about is the economy, the rising jobless rate, the rising foreclosure rate.

What they are not happy about is Wall street walking away happy after they bailed Wall street out.

They also are very unhappy about rising deficits.

HCR for independents is quickly becoming Washington fiddling while Rome burns. HCR being the top priority is turning away the independent vote. Using extraordinary means to ram through a bad bill will be suicide for November.

It might be different without this huge recession, but the recession has changed priorities for the center of America. Those priorities were evident in this and other recent elections IMO.

13. I totally agree the majority of the people in the

US "do" have health-care. Several million people don't have health-care but that is just a small percentage of the population. The majority of Americans don't have a preexisting illness or haven't had their health-care cancelled. The Democrats let the Republicans set the agenda on the health-care
debate from day one. The people that wanted health-care should have been down in Washington raising hell for it instead of sitting back and making fun of Teabaggers. The Democrats tried to make nice with the Republicans expecting them to work for what is best for Americans, they don't care about anything but Wall Street. This recession, unemployment the TARP should have been proceeded by the words Bush's "recession" etc. from day one. The Democrats let Faux convince these nutty Teabaggers that the TARP was Obama's, that Medicare was going to be cut and then the Cadillac Tax was the final blow alienating the Unions. instead of pissing away a year on that health-care mess Democrats should have been working on the economy and jobs first.

14. Can you imagine how many would have come out in droves to support your party had you actually stood

Can you imagine how many would have come out in droves to support your party had you actually stood up to the corporate a-holes ?

Come now, for every person that claimed they would have charged out if Obama went left, there would be two that stayed home and thought "if we stay home, we c an get dennis K in 2012!

The brutal truth is, there is this MYTH of an active left that would support O if only he went left, when in reality, just as they slammed FDR, Truman, and carter, they will slam O.

It's ugly, and it is the truth.

[Johonny]

15. apparently they came to the polls

and 22 % voted for the other party. So I don't see how your narrative works. Good turn out. Dems cross party line. Shrug.

[republicansarewhores]

17. Your point?

A party that betrays it's base expects that base or the 22% to continue to vote for them... I don't blame that 22% for sending a "message" they're tired of phony Democrats. Thom Hartmann has been quoting Harry Truman today and how people will vote for Republicans before phony Democrats because people more often vote for the "genuine articles", not phonies.
