Isn't the existence of these videos, and the way obama's gaffes are brought up continuously by talkers and citizens on message boards proof that in fact, just like Bush's gaffes, obamas have been widely reported and repeated?

Well, the problem, politically speaking, for the GOP is that they are rudderless. With the economy front and center they can not expect much traction from 'family values, religious right' campaigning. With their track record on expanding the government, they have no credibility as a fiscal...

Faced with fiscal crisis, why wouldn't we want to return to tax rates that provided for stable growth and expansion? Why wouldn't we want to actually step up and pay for the last ten years of spending?

I like MM because they link to the source.

Where in the 2,000 pages does it say the government will decide how many eye doctors there will be? Where in the 2,000 pages does it limit your visits? Where does it set fees? Honestly, the thing is way to complicate - made so, frankly, by the dems lack of a spine re: the public option...

in the year 2020, whne you go to the doctor and have your eyes checked, who will your doctor work for? When you give him your co-pay, who will take the money? When you send in your insurance payment, who will cash the check?

You can add several other states to that list - Norway for example.

You can call the HC bill "to restrictive" or "overly verbose" or "to complicated" and that would be accurate. But calling it 'the state' taking over health care - not so much. Re: the auto industry, well, even if you were right that the govt. GAVE the car companies to the unions - which of...

In your internal debate, it's going to be hard to come to a logical conclusion if you keep shouting incorrect data at yourself. The "State" has not taken over the auto, health care or banking industry. I agree that the top should set the tone, but on the other hand, if obama, biden et al...

I'm all for getting money out of politics. But it will be a pretty tough trick, particularly since talk show conservatives have been convinced that it's a 1st amendment violation to limit the ways with which money can influence politics.

So why is it that, after being elected, 'conservative' politicians never act very 'conservative'? Defenders of conservatism of course claim that the politician in question never was a conservative in the first place...because of course conservatism can't fail, it can only BE failed...
