Howard Dean no longer wants to kill the health care bill. He finally figured out what every progressive should have known (unless they were so consumed with anger and emotion over the loss of the public option) – that this bill is a good start.
It appears that most Democrats in the House feel the same way. Now, will other hysterical lefties like Keith Olbermann come along? We’ll see.
Overlook the corruption, cost, polls, and ugliness of this entire process-this is everything that is horrible with our government- and you still can’t call this a good start at reform. This is garbage and the idiots that are out leaders have pissed off many of us. Hopefully the likes of Reed, Dodd, Baucus, and the rest of those clowns will be on every republican attack ad come the fall.
Hopefully the republicans can find their way, get back to what republicans are suppose to be (Reagan republicans)and capitalize on this mess.
I think the Bill is a reflection of just how bad American politics has gotten. A confederacy of dunces, incapable to enact any legislation of value. I’ll take this bill but it’s far less than what Obama promised us. I think had Obama made a more sophisticated use of all the tools at his disposal we’d have made out better but as Italians like to say “piuttosto che niente e’ meglio piuttosto”
http://www.nudges.org….See sunstein and robert thaler and you’ll realize that sometimes a big push is simply a way in which you can install a smaller ‘nudge’ worm in the machine’s network in order to infect the entire system one nudge at a time much like the ancient chinese board game of Go. Perhaps, Howard Dean finally is able to grasp the concepts that have previously been above his minuscule intelligence quotient. Sun Tzu would be proud along with Saul Alinsky and finally when the system is significantly infected, so would chairman Mao.
