69. The choice is clear in November....
Thu Mar 22, 2012, 09:26 PM
Mar 2012

It's Obama or the Crazy Crowd. Easy choice really.

That's not to say Obama didn't pull the rug out from under those who believed him when he said he wanted Single Payer.

There was no "cmpromise". It was pre-ordained that the plan he was going to cut a deal on was RomneyCare. Max Baucus had people arrested, PNHP Physicians to be particular about it, in the sham hearings.

Look, you can be a homer for Obama. Knock yourself out. But don't kid yourself.

Obama is head and shoulders way better than anything the clowns on the Right are pushing out there but try to be real. Obama isn't a "liberal" . He's an Eisenhower Republican, like much of the present day Democratic Party.

The Republican Party is soo radically crazy there is really no where else to go.

We need to keep doing that with the Republicans... rfranklin Mar 2012 #1
