Reply #33: What does the Democratic Party stand for?

[pundaint]

I can tell you what the Republicans stand for, and I certainly don't want any more of that

But is there anything at all that the Democrats would draw a line in the sand about and defend? This is a problem.

As much as I'm against Republican principles, I am more opposed to those who seek power, not to get something done, but just to have power. They have no principles and can never be relied upon. Unfortunately, that is how I am seeing almost every elected Democrat. Anybody who tells you a limited Public Option is a win, has sold you because they think it will help them keep their power.

Does anyone want to argue against single payer on any basis other than it will be hard to get the thieves to stop stealing from us all at once? Everybody understands that paying over 25% of a sixth of our economy just to handle the payment processing is grossly unwarranted. Even if the Insurers stopped there, they should be put out of business. But they follow that up with denying the claims of thousands of people who frequently are at their weakest and most vulnerable. For that they should be put out of business. Not stopping there, Insurers fill our airwaves with disinformation, sometimes intentionally creating fear and worry among some of the credulous people hearing their propaganda. For using terror tactics to coerce Americans to support legislative efforts agains their own interests, the insurance companies should be put out of business. Gaining momentum, they are openly bribing our elected officials, for there is no mistaking the correlation between contributions and position of authority and actions taken for anything but a bribe, and the action paid for. For bribing our Congress, the insurance companies a should be put out of business

For having accepted those bribes, if Congress passes anything but single payer, they should be put out of business, because lacking principles, they will have sold us out to retain power.
