"almost laughable" right before concrete evidence proves their guilt?
The stories are always "almost laughable", or they can't "recall...".

Five different presidents have tried to get universial health care in america.

Truman, Johnson, Nixon, Carter and Clinton.

They all had Democratic Controlled Congress's.

So why did it fail each time ?

Why was it not allowed out of Committee to be voted on each time?

Doesn't the party that controll's Congress, control what Bills get out of Committee ?

Something fishy is going on here.

I'm curious how many liberals, moderates, or Democrats here would, given the right candidate, vote for a Republican instead of Hillary Clinton or Barak Obama.

If so, who would beat them in your mind?

I am fairly liberal-minded, but I recently decided that I would vote for Ron Paul over Hillary Clinton or Barak Obama if he got the Republican nomination. This is strange for me, because I am so pissed off at the Republican party right now that I want it to die.

If ANYBODY else gets nominated, I'm voting Democrat straight-across-the-board... But Ron Paul is amazing: He's a libertarian who believes in leaving hard decisions to the states, which means no idiotic constitutional amendments against gay people would get signed. He is against the Iraq war, and he believes in fiscal responsibility in our federal government. I honestly believe he would be the best possible leader for our country after such a trying time.

He would scale back the Bush administration's power abuse, too.

He sucks at the job. I used to be a supporter of Bush but I'm tired of his leadership and Cheney is always recluse you never hear anything from him anymore (but that is good).
Did Cheney basically prompt Bush to get involved in Iraq?

Yes, we see all the bile and hate from you liberals. You say we should have "tolerance" for homosexuals. But you make such a big deal about Larry Craig ! So are liberals hypocrites?

as yet another Republican Senator is caught in public toilets showing us how moral the Republicans are.

"Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho pleaded guilty this month to misdemeanor disorderly conduct after being arrested at the Minneapolis airport."

"Roll Call, a Capitol Hill newspaper, which first reported the case, said on its Web site Monday that Craig was arrested June 11 by a plainclothes officer investigating complaints of lewd conduct in a men's restroom at the airport."

I think the answer has to be Hillary Clinton, but I would be happy to listen to her supporters explain why I am wrong. But it seems to me that the Republicans are more demoralized and discredited than they have ever been in my lifetime. And the one candidate that can breathe the most life into the dying corpse of the Republican party is Hillary Clinton. She could well get elected, but the backlash she will create will be incredible. So my question is, why would the Democrats want that? Do they have a death wish?

Every American tax payer will have to fund such an institution. So its not free.

Does it really work in other contries or do people have to wait for long periods of time for delivery of healthcare?

Why should a doctor not be paid a salary comparable to corporate executives? They did go to school for long periods of time to keep you healthly and to save lives, why don't we respect that kind of devotion?

Why have I seen uninsured people driving luxury cars instead of paying for health insurance?

I understand there are underprivilaged people who need coverage...don't we already have medicaid?
