Single Payer Healthcare- Immediate withdrawal of all US troops and...

[Orwellian_Ghost]

Anybody hear anything like a little straight talk about such things at the D-Bate tonight?

<<<<crickets>>>>

1. We go to vote with the candidates we have.

Never the candidates we wish we had.

[Orwellian_Ghost]

3. Why is that?

And how do we get beyond that?

Resignation is not the foundation of a movement.

Time is running out.

[aquart]

6. A movement?

This is a democracy. It respects many opinions. Whoever can appeal to the most people, will win. To people who hold only one opinion, how can they support that? It would be impure.

Our candidates have to satisfy many different interests and concerns. It makes them seem...like whores.

A movement only satisfies one set of concerns. The leader of a movement therefore looks pure. And clean. And worthy.

I'm going with the whores.

14. Correction

Corporatocracy

That's what we got.

You may want to re-examine what you think of as movements. Start with MLK Jr.

2. I don't understand why ANY of the candidates, other than Dennis and Gravel,

won't even consider a single payer health care system. Can anyone enlighten me? Beyond the "corporate whores" reply.

[Kat45]

4. They don't want to lose their jobs and/or their own good health plans?

8. Gravel is not for single payer--he's behind the voucher bullshit n/t

[avaistheone1]

9. Look at how many health insurance interests have given to both Hillary and Obama's campaigns.

I think you will find your answer.
