In other words you prefer the system we have; thanks for admitting it. Joel Send a noteboard - 10/02/2010 10:05:38 AM
The reason the democratic party keeps failing is their leadership is to the far left of their base and they are out of touch with the majority of the country. Maybe if they stopped thinking of the majority of the country as Jesus land or those annoying flyover states where they cling to god and guns they might be able to make better connections.

WTF any of that had to do with healthcare I'm not sure. The majority of the country isn't a "Jesus land" where people cling to God and guns, and no one but folks like Palin and Bush 43 think it is. Presumably Todd Palin will no longer support Alaskas secession if his patriotic wife is elected President...?

not to mention those who mistake knowledge for understanding random thoughts - 02/02/2010 10:41:14 PM 459 Views
Even so. Joel - 05/02/2010 05:45:54 AM 484 Views
Like the NYT? random thoughts - 05/02/2010 02:12:36 PM 519 Views
I don't believe the Times has ever conceded bias. Joel - 05/02/2010 06:03:02 PM 539 Views
and neither does Fox so I am not sure that matters random thoughts - 05/02/2010 06:40:15 PM 580 Views
Note that I didn't mention Fox (or anyone, for that matter. ) Joel - 05/02/2010 07:13:31 PM 513 Views
PBS is biased random thoughts - 05/02/2010 07:21:14 PM 488 Views
You're entitled to believe that. Joel - 05/02/2010 07:31:07 PM 618 Views
PBS has an obvious yet undeclared bias so does NPR random thoughts - 09/02/2010 04:47:53 AM 448 Views
Even were that true (which I dispute) my statement stands. Joel - 09/02/2010 09:50:36 AM 562 Views
so they wouldn't be biased becuas it could hurt them but you still argue republicans attack them random thoughts - 09/02/2010 02:19:53 PM 522 Views
Sometimes the truth hurts, though it doesn't hurt PBS. Joel - 10/02/2010 10:15:13 AM 608 Views
We have been for some time. Joel - 02/02/2010 03:31:10 AM 510 Views
I don't think that's the case Isaac - 03/02/2010 02:59:50 PM 493 Views
Universal healthcare was the primary plank in Clintons '92 platform. Joel - 04/02/2010 10:02:18 AM 474 Views
That does not mean his bare plurality was an endorsement of National Healthcare Isaac - 04/02/2010 02:09:32 PM 606 Views
I don't think he won by default, and that was his primary issue. Joel - 05/02/2010 08:09:50 AM 625 Views

Probably time to go into 'summary mode' Isaac - 08/02/2010 07:34:55 PM 596 Views
Again, we're back to "how would you prefer to do it?" Joel - 09/02/2010 09:42:51 AM 621 Views
Any way that works, which currently probably is none Isaac - 09/02/2010 06:12:41 PM 559 Views
I think HDI is more accurate than nothing, though it certainly needs some fine tuning. Joel - 10/02/2010 11:03:08 AM 610 Views
Sorry for the delay... Isaac - 12/02/2010 11:40:21 PM 700 Views
NP, life happens. Joel - 15/02/2010 02:06:55 PM 695 Views
I'll play a bigger age card since it was my third election to vote in and he won because of Perot random thoughts - 05/02/2010 05:57:04 PM 496 Views

you're making a good job taking things out of context, Joel AgentOrange - 03/02/2010 12:47:57 PM 468 Views
Don't speak in absolutes and I won't read absolutes. Joel - 04/02/2010 10:08:43 AM 481 Views
Some qualifiers can be left unsaid for a clearer message. Or better delivery AgentOrange - 04/02/2010 10:26:56 AM 472 Views
Qualifiers are clarifying by nature. Joel - 04/02/2010 10:49:06 AM 601 Views
huh. That does make sense. I know malpractice is a big weight on the the system in the US. AgentOrange - 04/02/2010 11:58:37 AM 438 Views
Perhaps, but it's hardly the greatest weight, or even in the top three, IMHO. Joel - 05/02/2010 05:44:49 AM 588 Views
Pearl Harbor would never have happened to a classically liberal nation Cannoli - 05/02/2010 01:33:56 AM 491 Views
