Getting real healthcare for all is not negotiable. But even more, getting rid of the government lies and coverups, stopping these cruel wars that engender only hatred for us in the middle east (how would you feel if your home and family were wiped out by a US missle) and are a major cause of our huge debt, and doing what we should to reduce carbon and other greenhouse gases by 40 per cent, not 4 per cent and by substituting solar, thermal, and wind for oil, coal and natural gas are actions that must be taken now. We have been more than patient; now, how much longer will the earth be patient?
In any poll I would express satisfaction with the current administration because to do otherwise would be to support the other choice, the one of far right insanity. This is where narrowly framed polls only obtain answers that the polling organization wants. Apples or oranges? But, but - I really wanted strawberries.
