Have the two major party leaders lost their minds? We need another party to come into power - make it a 3 party system.... its obvious that if there is just two, one or the other thinks they have the right answer.... neither of them do. The 'christian' right Republican base is neither Christian or right. I am not sure the liberal left has it that much more correct. We have far too many fronts to work on without taking so much time and airspace to debate the health bill any longer...... if there are things wrong with it, work together and get it fixed. If you can't work together and come to a compromise, then do the country a favor and quit and let someone who will take your place. The ultra side of either issue needs to leave the decision to the moderates with some common sense.
The last three presidential elections have really been too close to say that the vast majority of the American population is for or against one of the parties. I think they all need a big dose of reality. The truth is that a simple majority is all it takes to make laws - good or bad. And the people who took the time to vote but the candidate(s) they voted for didn't win have to wait until the next election to have a small voice once again. I think this is something that needs to change. You can't believe the politicians in office, because they live in insulated bubbles...... It's time to change. e.g. - the health vote.... our rep here in Central Texas is Chet Edwards. He claims that the majority of his constituents were against the health bill, and wanted him to vote no............. seriously????????????? I didn't talk to one of those people. Everyone I talked to wants-wanted Congress to do something to change the stranglehold the insurance/health industry has over us..... Republicans are chanting that 'big' government should stay out of something that is 1/6th of US business........16.66% of the money made in the US is to keep our citizens healthy??????????? What are they smoking? Though I consider myself a moderate independent, I find it ludicrous to think that one of the two major political parties think that the health of the populace should be a 'business' let alone one of the largest businesses in the country.......

we were there - another historical event
Okay, so its not what the liberals wanted, and it certainly isn't what the Republican party wanted and its not what a lot of Dems wanted........... but what does it do for you?
For me, I think its an incredible day to be alive and be an American!
For all the politicians who say its not a good bill.... its a really bad bill and should be repealed. We have better ideas; we should slow it down and take it a small part at a time.. MY QUESTION IS:::::::::::
WHAT THE H... HAVE YOU BEEN WAITING FOR????????????????????????????
If you have been in office and haven't done anything to better the people of this Great Country, then its time for you to leave...................... John Boehner had it right - you should all be ashamed of yourselves and what I would add is "tuck your tails and leave in shame"..... I think its time for independent thinkers to get involved and let our 'two party' system understand that they have all been doing it wrong.
more to come... let's all have a better day today!
