Lesson: It does not matter how many compromises we make

[ThoughtCriminal]

To appease blue-dogs and the health insurance industry. They will go over the top to label ANY reform which endangers their obscene profit level as "Socialized Medicine" and then depict it as something close to "Death Camp Medical Care".

There may be some cases where compromise can create better legislation and solutions. That is one of the advantages of a Democracy. But this assumes that both sides are negotiating in good faith for the common good. That is absolutely not the case with the opponents of health care reform.

1. I'd love to hear the phrase "bad faith" coming out of more democratic mouths

Because it's clear that the current republican party is not interested in governing in good faith, it's all about the political game to them, not about good governing.

2. There is a point in the debate that there is no compermise for.

It is a finite point, if on one side, you are all the way on that side, if you are on the other side of that point you are all the way to the other side.

Their is a single point on the line of legislation.

If monopoly control is taken away from corporations, the dominoes they see, leads to their loss of what they claim to be their control.

If monopoly control is maintained, they can continue to control the costs and use it to up their illusion of power by using it as a weapon against people in the future.


Either corporations lose their ability to manipulate the system, or they don't. Do you see how that point does not have a compermise. their is no inbetween on that issue. I don't think in black and white, but on that point, how do you find any middle ground. They either lose control or they don't.

That is why there is no compermise.
