that I pay more, and get less care, under the ACA. The fact is that one of the fastest ways to narrow the economic gap in this country would be to implement a universal, not-for-profit national system. And that wasn't even on the table for discussion when the ACA was crafted. Instead, it's all about private insurance, not affordable CARE. Insurance companies are still profiting and people are still struggling to pay for health care.

Osama bin laden? I never supported the bogus "war on terror." I always saw it for what it was. I never allowed emotion to blind me to the political manipulation surrounding 9/11. Comparing me to W and Mitt is ludicrous. I don't know about Mitt; I didn't give him enough of my attention to know much of what he had to say. W? He used going after bin laden to bankrupt this nation. He obviously thought it was important. I wish fewer Democrats had agreed with him.
