Yes, I agree. This does indeed suck. There is a lot of blame and desire for Obama to fail. I don't think that is a good idea. I see people willing to have things go down the shitter to prove a point or so they can feel validated because their guy lost.

Things were bad before. It was a downward spiral. Government spending was already way out of control. If there were no action or money spent, you can bet things would be a lot worse right now and you people would still be bitching because nothing was done. What are your solutions other than to sit around and wait for failure like others sit around and wait for Obama to save the world?

I didn't want Obama, but I didn't want another Bush. The last eight years were bad and our current situation is a tell-tale sign of that. Bush inherited a surplus and went into Iraq anyways, then declared "Mission Accomplished" and blah blah blah. We all know how bad it was. Maybe you don't because you didn't pay attention the last eight years because YOUR guy was in office. I think that is what turns me off to the conservative movement more than anything. It is full of the bottom of the barrel human beings. The same people who thought Ron Paul was nuts, but are out there now repeating EVERYTHING HE WAS SAYING during the campaign and using the Constitution as a weapon. You people are so upset because you hear the sky is falling from your talk radio gurus who are getting a fat pay check to make you all upset.

This "new-found" interest in politics comes a tad late and is derived from hate and half-truths. The people who do not want a public option are getting information that comes directly from insurance companies and their lobbyists. All that money goes to campaigns, advertising dollars to FOX and talking heads, and finally trickled down to the masses who think the world is going to end. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. They kill a public option with lies and the people lose.

Health care is fucked, but I have yet to hear a solution or something that resembles fact from the opponents. Republicans do not want Obama to pass this. Not because it is bad, but because it is GOOD. They want to win the White House back, and if this goes through, Obama gets a victory. A big one. Republicans and insurance companies do not want this to happen. They want to be on top. There's a lot of money there. The easiest way to kill it is to freak you sheeple out and tell you Russia is coming to take us over or whatever the fuck you guys are buying into.
