It is very interesting for me to read the post. Thanx for it. I like such themes and everything connected to this matter. I definitely want to read a bit more soon. BTW, rather good design you have at that blog, but don’t you think design should be changed once in a few months?

Please, it's not about health care. It's about CONTROL. Once the government sinks under its own debt, then the real agenda will be revealed.

I am so disapointed with the intellegence of much of our society
It's such a lack of class and character, to keep throwing out all of the false accusations and information to scare the public. Fear was used to invade Iraq, it was used to re-elect George Bush and now it is being used stop health care reform in stead of working on what's best for our citizens. It all boils down to the next election rather than caring for the people. Seems to me like some folks are running scared and it's not those on the left. Now we have the virus going around that Obama wants to address our children and spread his beliefs on them. Give me a break! He wants our children to succeed, that is what he is attempting to achieve. Shame on all the parents that want their children to be closed mind, because an open mind is required for an education.

Very well written unless I missed it I see no untrue negatives to other parties. I on the other hand Have a hard time saying anything nice about the pharmaceutical companies (drug lords) and the so called doctors that I will no longer see because I like being healthy and not over dosed.
A lot of us can be manipulated because we have no place to turn and are looking for something to grab to stop our fall.
Fear, greed, self preservation and many other things get in the way of common since at times, So the voice of reason can be a real life saver and negativity will only breed more negativity.

Eric: Obama has not surrounded himself with Far Leftists and become thier victim.
He is a Far Left Radical. He has carefully obscured this fact by trying to come off calm and collected.. while leaving as little a paper trail as possible (which is disturbing)
he ran as someone he is not.
In one of his two autobiographies (who has two of these while having nothing in their background that people can even point to as significant?) he said he was amazed at how people would view him as even-handed if he responded to them in a calm and seemingly thoughtful way.
he's a manipulator... after all he's a Saul Alinsky disciple.
His mask has come off and the people are now alert to this and they will never trust him again.

He will go down in history as a joke because he got caught up with the radical left nutjobs and now can't escape them. Most Americans think moveOn.org/acorn and the rest of the psychotic leftist groups that own President Obama, are corrupt. Obama still hangs with them and therefore his numbers are in the tank. It really is that simple folks.

Those who don't understand the mganitude of the economic impact of spiraling health care costs may be confused about the need. Confused by all the lies and deception of right-wingers and corporate interests. We are the only developed country without a public option that provides universal coverage and we're the only one to face the looming disaster health care has become.
President Obama has made this a domestic priority which tells you he doesn't have his head in the sand. His administration will come and go but health care as it exists today will overwhelm our economy. The country needs reform more than Obama needs it as a political achievement. Today 47 million Americans are uninsured up from 33 million during Clinton. You think that number will go down or stay there?
Millions face bankruptcy--that means losing their homes if they own it--when they get seriously sick or injured. Doing nothing now will put more people at risk, both economically and in terms of their health. And more profits for doctors, private insurance and drug companies.

Your liberal lemming, kool-aid dinking little puppets might believe you but the rest of us don't and we want to see the long form. Who was your doctor, which hospital? Your liberal army discounts all of this but the country is growing more and more curious about you. Come on Mr. Transparency what are you hiding?

Minister Axlerod has assured Great Leader Obama that the so called polls are merely right wing propaganda.
Great Leader will address the people regarding this fraudulent poll on his return from extinguishing the Los Angeles Fire.

Hard left isn't just gay marriage. I am about civil liberties and I think homosexuals should be able to marry wether through marriage or sivil unions.
But the Univeral health care, Cap and Trade? these are huge multi TRILLIONS of dollars of left wing spending being sent down our throats. I can empathize with the article because I voted for Obama and I have never been registered anything other than Independent and he's definatly lost me in terms of voting for him again.
