So...what does everyone then say about the democrats that voted for this bill that have constituents that are majority against it. I suppose that is "admirable bravery" to stand up against popular opinion for the good of progressive success? Hypocrites.  View

That's true, the Democrats are going to accused of overspending anyway. But then again, what happened to all the promises the first stimulus was suppose to achieve? Nobody seemed to addressed that? And I'm not sure how much patience Main Street will have esp with all the bonuses Wall St is still getting.  View

I agree in part that the bill is not bipartisan, but to blame that on Democrats who have bent over backward to try to get republicans on board is asinine. The Republicans are responsible for the bill not being a bipartisan effort because they have plugged their ears with wax and responded to every attempt to engage them with viscious rhetoric like 'socialism' and 'Naziism.'. This makes them the problem, not the Dems.  View

I must say, I also don't think one vote makes the bill "bipartisan"...still, Democrats have certainly been trying to make it party-crossing. The bill itself has just been so distasteful, so to speak, to Republicans that none are really budging. And with Limbaugh preaching against it like he has been for months, I truly believe many Republicans are scared stiff of voting or even considering anything beyond being against it. So, kudos to Cao for representing his district instead of caving to GOP pressure.  View

On Meet the Press, Rachel makes an excellent point--Democrats are "going to get slammed as overspenders" anyway. They need to be more bold in their stimulus moves, and hopefully pull the country out of this joblessness pit. Testing the waters while still spending money is not going to make Republicans see them as moderates. It's going to drive this country further into the unemployment toilet bowl.  View

Talk about some Negative Nancy's there. This is an exciting step toward healthcare for all. It's epic. I only hope those "conservative democrats" concerned about getting re-elected vote with their hearts and consciences. Healthcare is a right. Just like education. Just like police protection, ambulances and fire departments and libraries. If you truly want government out of your lives, give up all of that. Otherwise, get a heart and get real.  View

To Susan Thank you so much for "informing" me on what you think is true and right. I am not a liberal, I am neither a conservative or a liberal, but listen to all sides and make my decisions. But Glen distorts the truth. Anyone who can stand by Cheney after he lied over and over again on MANY things and then when questioned about things claims he can't remember 71 times he is either dumber than dirt, a liar, or suffering from dementia and thank the Lord he is not holding the office of VP any longer where he could have been made commander in chief if somthing would have happened to the President. All sides should be discussed on matters but to lie to get people on your side is criminal. To scare older Americans about "death panels" and not being given care they need because they are too old is a total lie and he should be ashamed of himself for saying it. Just give us the TRUE FACTS and let the people decide for themselves about what needs to be done on health care in America as wll as other matters facing us at this time. Our system needs to be overhauled. The insurance companies are robbing us blind and health care is second best, not to mention the drug companies making drugs so expensive many people can't afford them. So thank you Susan for your concern. I have listend to Glen and the other hate mongers (who despise Democrats) and then researched and found the things they said are distortions and sometimes bordering on lies. Maybe YOU could spend sometime listening to the ALL sides and make informed decisions. Don't bother to reply I will not be on this site again. Can't change your thinking even if I think it is bogus. HAVE A NICE DAY.  View

In order for Obama to "improve the nation" he needs an office of democrats. But I agree with others that Obama is taking a risk in encouraging people too much to vote for Corzine and other Democrats.  View

The truth is in order to push his agenda, Obama is going to need more Democrats in positions of power. Campaign away!  View

In order for Obama to have a real chance at keeping his promises to us, he is going to need another four years in the White House. With that, it would not be politically sound for him not to be campaigning while in office and not only campaigning for himself but for more democrats in office as a whole.  View
