The Progressive Change Campaign Committee wants to run ads against Democrats, including John Kerry and Dianne Feinstein, who are working against a public health care option. They’re already running this ad against Sen. Max Baucus in his home state of Montana.

The one thing I am certain of is that CONSERVATIVES never do anything for the common man, only help big private business and industry, whatever they say.  Whenever any CONSERVATIVE is for something, it is not to the benefit of the common people.

Obama’s plan to to help everyone in America have medical when they need it.  I am for Obama’s plan. There are too many people in the United States that have medical problems, but no medical attention, what so ever.  There are too many doctors pushing pain pills, instead of needed surgery.

Common people need public health insurance like Medicare, NOT Medicaid for all where, if you get any medical help, you will have to give the government all you own forever, but Medicare that allows you to keep your possessions and pass them down to your posterity.

All United States citizens need Free Public Medicare that can’t afford to pay anything.  Medicare is single payer and needs to be expanded to cover the entire population as Public Medicare for all, which would make medical all around better for everyone of the 70% Majority Common Population.

so let me get this straight. if i object to the “obama health care plan” (really health insurance plan, designed to enrich private insurance companies) then i am just pro pharma, pro insurance? gotta love that spin. if you’re against HMO’s then you support a bill to mandate that we purchase their policies. i can’t disagree with it because it’s a bad idea, i have to disagree because i’m one of THEM. 76% of americans support it… pfft. most americans think that insurance companies and wall street have no business in the health care business.

if that thing passes, we’re all sunk.

Diamond, you left out the Beast Herself: check out this link:

Feinstein via hubby Bloom is the biggest war profiteer in Congress, and is the worst example of a “Blue Dog” in many a blue moon. I’ve heard the commercial in San Francisco, considered the ‘heart’ of Dianne’s constituency. Hopefully this war enabler will someday have her day in court, after the revolution.

No surprise here. Our country is not a democracy but a plutocracy.
