Already 5 Years Into a Lost Decade

Brian, you mention that there is so much anger directed towards one side. Yes, that is true, the polls speak for themselves and the democrats will suffer greatly. As far as I am concerned, that party is dead. So what will happen? Republicans will take control again and most likely fail by following the same policies of the old. I only hope this happens fast because then that party will be dead. Then a third party will emerge. However, never underestimate the insane. People will continue to do the same and expect different results.[/quote]

I’m unwilling to take the risk of the rise of a still-to-be-announced third party with still-to-be-announced platform of ideas.

I would rather live in prosperity rather than endure the hardship and deprivation of a transition to a completely new political order. That’s why I believe in incremental change.

I don’t underestimate the insane. I see what they are capable of in the Tea Party.

Djshakes, the Obama health care plan is virtually the same as the Republican 1993 proposal. I hope that your non-partisan self can see that.

Obama Health Proposal = 1993 Republican Proposal

Posted on: March 1, 2010 9:23 AM, by Ed Brayton

Kaiser Health News points out something quite interesting. The health care reform proposal that President Obama just put out is remarkably similar to the Republican alternative to Clinton’s health care reform bill from 1993. That 1993 bill was sponsored by Sen. John Chafee (R-Rhode Island) and had 19 Republican co-sponsors in the Senate and two Democratic co-sponsors and was the primary alternative offered by the Republicans to Clinton’s bill.

Check out the chart of similarities between the Chafee bill and the Obama bill. Apparently the Republicans in 1993 were a bunch of socialists bent on making reparations and rebuilding the Third Reich, complete with death panels and murdering Sarah Palin’s baby.

I disagree with you, Brian.

Stabilizing the financial system and propping up the Wall Street banking establishment are different things. The former does not require the latter.

When it comes to corporate America and handing out favors for big business, the GOP is worse than Democrats. Everybody knows this.

Sadly, a protest vote for the GOP is an endorsement of growing corporate power. That’s the reality.

Bitch about Obama all you want. The GOP is worse.
