Democrats, you have a fucking SUPER MAJORITY, grow some balls, tell the republicans to go jump off a cliff, and create a damned universal national healthcare program. Quit being little bitches, and do what should have been done 60 years ago, when the rest of the world started to grow the hell up.
Worst case of performance anxiety ever, or is the entire US political system picked from the village idiot pool? You decide!
^Not so much silly as just careless. You use the term so often and so casually, that if you ever faced legitimate tyranny, you'd need to make up a new word.

I wouldn't be concerned. There is no way in the world that the Democrat party is going to NOT pass some sort of health care bill. The only question is whether or not the blue-dog Democrats will or won't be able to prevent it from having (A) a public option (B) zero controls on illegals (C) protections for current insurance plans (D) sufficient funding to actually pay its own enormous costs.
My world view has been shattered.
No central planning body is physically or theoretically capable of processing the vast quantities of data needed to make informed, rational, moral/ethical, and economical determinations for everyone's health. It's intrinsically grossly inefficient, and therefore unsustainable. It may exist for a period, but it cannot remain. No outside opposition is necessary to bring it down. It will fall under it's own folly. You can hardly blame the "Democrats" for failing to make it work: no one can.
Every man must exert self control. This is freedom. Nothing more, and nothing less.
The real kicker is that the solutions to these perceived problems lies in the perception, or rather, the man who is perceiving. The source of the solution is entirely internal, and requires no external actors for an individual to be supremely immune from all these external harms. (Salvation does not lie in Society or Community.) Acceptance of these concepts however, can only be gained one who seeks to pull all responsibility upon himself. Humility helps.
Do not hate the Law. Embrace it.

A) To hell with the public option, we need a full blown NHS, like every other industrialized nation in the world.
B) I work around illegals several days a week. The majority of them are hard working people doing the jobs that American don't want to do for the wages they get. Home construction costs in Florida would double without them. Any time I hear anti-illegal ranting, all I hear is racism masquerading as concern.
C) Yeah we need to protect current plans, like the lady I was listening to last weekend talking about the 1000$ a month she was paying for insurance coverage. To hell with the insurance companies, they're a blight on this country and have been ever since Nixon allowed Kaiser Permanente to form.
D) Education and Health care should be the two most important social programs that our government should fund regardless of the cost. You know how you fund it? Taxation like everything else. My taxes go to fund military actions that kill innocent people, industrial subsidies that keep corporate profit margins high, abstinence only sex-ed and other faith based programs, endless reconstruction of highways, and a whole host of other programs that I personally disagree with. Why is it OK for me to have to pay taxes to fund these things that I dislike that do me and many others no good, yet when there is a program that will help every single citizen, it can't be allowed to be put into action because you and other conservatives don't like it?
It's the same hypocritical rhetoric we have come to expect from conservatives. "Taxes are bad for everything that we don't like. And because we don't like it we're gonna fight tooth and nail against it."
^Sounds like you've been reading too much Ayn Rand.
I've never heard of her, and I've never read any of her work. Had to wiki her to find who you were referring to.
Care to respond with substance rather than inaccurate catigorization?
