Reply #18: Universal health care? Are you kidding??

[moggie12]

They couldn't even come close to getting that passed now!
The Dems have got to get back into power before we can do a major health care initiative. This 10-point agenda is the first step: It's a smart, calculated move to get a Democratic agenda on the table and get the American people to WAKE UP. It's got a medicaid proposal in there (that's a first step at least -- isn't something better than nothing?) as well as election reform (my personal favorite -- something critically needed to elect Democrats).

Please don't let your anger at no-spine and Corporate Dems prevent you from getting the Democrats back into power. It's not like you're voting for all of the platform itself -- by signing it, you're helping the Dems start fighting back hard againt the insanity that is the Bush administration. I don't like all of the Dems, but I've taken a strong liking to Harry Reid and I'm guessing he's behind this (hey, he's being tough on SS, that's pretty good). I see this agenda as one more move in a gigantic political chess game to back Bush into a corner.

Forgive me for rambling, but if 1/3 of America is watching Fox News, 1/3 is watching American Idol, and the 1/3 on the left that knows what's going on doesn't act because it's not "good enough" we are DOOMED!
