Mr. King,
I applaud your volunteer work. I wish more were like you in that regard. But, surely you recognize that those you are feeding are there out of desperation.

Rev,
Time to bury this piece of crap and start over by first making sure that every American is aware of who the insurance lobby and big Pharma have bought (including the President) and how little they had to invest to buy them. This bill simply does more towards expanding industry profits than providing needed coverage. Pass or fail, it insures continuing campaign contributions to the corporate shills and allows them to report to their ostensible constituents about their heroic efforts in the face of Republican obstructionism.

Obama changed Gitmo policy? That's a lie, you liar. Same as it ever was. Will extend beyond January.

With a filibuster-proof Senate and a 79-seat edge in the House, President Barack Obama has adopted George W. Bush's policy on Guantanamo detention for terror suspects. Deal with it.

As we are dealing with a compromise of epic proportions brought on by having to herd cats, it is important to consider the bill in comparison to what exists already. That said, it is somewhat better and offers protections for people with preexisting conditions as well as more freedom to people to allow them to switch jobs and maintain their coverage. The fact that it adds a lot of healthy people to the ranks of the insurers clientele is a double edge sword. As we are in a democracy, a compromise is almost always the only result from broad brush political activities.

It's a shame because Americans almost universally would like to see some kind of sensible reform in health care. But with all the payoffs going on, the phoney-baloney stats being promulgated, the fudged cost analyses, etc., etc., it is abundantly clear to a majority of Americans that our government's current leadership is too fundamentally corrupt to be entrusted with such a task.

Still no data on Americans starving to death? Hospitalizations? How about grumbly tummies?

You forgot half of the question.

Will health care reform pass or will they follow the wishes of the electorate?

The word McCarthyism is thrown around a lot. By now, everyone knows he was right, I hope.

I mean Hollywood could never be filled with people who don't have the US interests at heart, right?

Aside from Sean Penn, Danny Glover, Susan Sarandon, Michael Moore, Tim Robbins, and on and on and on …

It took me a while to realize this and see beyond my public school indoctrination.

Wild commenting conservatives are not accustomed to progressives dishing it back at them.

Long story short….conservatives refuse to accept reality. There are simply too many examples of this for me to go into it. Conservatives want to have their own set of facts on virtually everything…..Rove's "creating reality" nonsense. When I bash away at conservatives….something I most likely will continue doing….it's primarily because conservatives refuse to acknowledge empirical evidence and proven facts. That's also why I use the adorable label…wingnuts.
