Health Care is a Moral Issue "We are all in the same boat"
Moyers is right until we embrace this as a moral issue as we did the civil rights movement nothing will be done.

1. Yep. I 100% agree with that. Climate change is also a moral issue -
but don't tell the freeptards/tenthers/variouswingnutpsychopaths that. We all live on the same planet.

2. When it comes to climate, they refuse to understand their own survival,
so I wouldn't think they would pay much attention to the moral side of it.
I say we ignore them and push President Obama to do the right thing.
It is not the republicans we have to convince, it is the conservative D's who feel the need to compromise.
We are in the majority and have a unique time in history to get real health care reform done.
We also have a chance at establishing green technologies and jobs much like FDR did with building our infrastructure while providing jobs.
We gave President Obama and the D's the power with our votes in 2006 and 2008, but for some reason they are afraid to use that power.

4. Unfortunately they think they need the corporate funds to be re-elected.
and forget the people who showed up at the polls and voted.
