Lone Wolf, once again you are being contradictory, if you believe that a fetus is a human life then you are valuing life by being anti-choice. If that is what you value you should be against capital punishment as well because by definition is destroys life. At the point where you add a caveat i.e. "except in the case of guilt" you are being inconsistent by no longer valuing life but state defined "justice". This is problematic because you are giving the government the ability to determine not only who is worthy of life but the circumstances under which that is defined. I think that's outside the bounds of what government is allowed to do, just as I think it is outside the bounds of the government to decide what a woman can and cannot do with her own body. Speaking of values, aren't republicans supposed to value small government? Public healthcare is out of the question for republicans but state-sanctioned murder, and stripping women of their ability to sovereignly determine their biological future are acceptable? Please explain.  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

Another one for the Republicans means it's not looking so good for Obama come reelection time, but then again it's too early to give up all hope.  View

I really don't understand why we can't just be proud of our president for a second. To quote Jon Stewart, "Republicans hate Obama more than they love America."  View

I just sick of tired of Glenn Beck, I do not know if maybe he has some consecuences in his brain because the alcohol that He darnk when He was an alcoholic as he had said. But I do not know if He is not getting the hate that peolps like him, Rush and Hanity spread through their shows, where were you when all those racial attacks had occured in Nueva York, Georgia, Miami.because people like you make the world the way that it is hate and more hate but I bet you know very good every single scrripture of the bible. I feel sorry for you guys you are empty souls that have nothing in your hearts. MSNBC is a very neutral network they always have both side of the stories not like you that only Republicans, and in order to watch MSNBC you have to pay Luxury package on your cable or satelite instead that Fox you get on basic package, probably that it is the reason your rating are good.I used to like Glenn but now I feell sorry for him. Man you need help maybe go back to Rrhab. YOU ARE NOT GOD OR NOSTRADAMUS predict the future.You do not care about anybody but you with all this circus you get more $$$$$$$$$ on your pay check.God bless you and I hope all this hate that you have created your kids wo'nt have to live iwth that.  View

I thought the President's speech was clear and to-the-point. I think the Republicans are just upset over the entire bill in general. Honestly, nothing President Obama says or offers is going to please them unless it's a complete turnaround from the point of a healthcare bill. But he's not going to remove the bill and completely switch to serving the conservative agenda. So their disappointment was more than foreseeable.  View

There has been no misinformation because the bill that was produced in the house was given out. Many opponents just read from the bill. Sure there wasn't a "death panal" description; however, the implications were there. The fact of the matter is that the question isn't will Obama pull the plug on grandma, the question rather is, will he even plug her in, in the first place? I believe that Obama has spent all of his political capital on his stimulus and the outcry from both the independents and republicans has little to do with healthcare, but the governmental take over of several aspects of the American economy. The only lie about healthcare has been the 47 million so called uninsured people. The only truth about this debate is the fact that we do need reform, just not as radical or as drastic. Liberals refuse to compromise and instead of listening to the American people they are wanting to ram it down our throats. I believe Obama is truly stuck between a hard rock and a hard place. Either he pleases the radical left and alienates the conservative demoncrats, or he inrages the radical left to please the blue dogs. Regardless, 2010 will be a turning point for the democratic party.  View

Glenn Beck is today's Paul Revere! He is a true patriot! He is informing and alerting Americans that the govenment is being taking over by extremists who's only intent is to destroy the United States of America. Patriotic Democrats, Independents and Republicans should stand to gether to protect what our forefathers have given to us in the constitution, FREEDOM!  View
