Daily Discussions on Democratic Party Donkey Bobblehead| Former Head of the Democratic Party against health care bill | | Howard Dean, former head of the DNC, is speaking out against the healthcare reform bill. He is saying that it has turned into a "Healthcare insurance company bail out".
He said it would NOT get rid of pre-existing conditions clauses and would require everyone to have insurance....no matter the cost. He is calling the bill "the insurance company's dream". He is urging the defeat of this bill and asking other democrats NOT to vote for it.
What do you think of what Dean said? Is he right....now that the public option and the medicare buy in have been taken out...is all that is left going to help the insurance companies and hurt the american people? Should fellow democrats listen to him and vote NO?

| | IT'S THE "DEMOCRAT PARTY," NOT THE DEMOCRATic PARTY! | | [b]I hear this mistake all the time, & worse, not just from regular folks, but newscasters & politicians, who are supposed to[i]know[/i] better! It's a corollary, perhaps, of the mistaken notion that the US is a democracy. It's not. We are a democratic republic. There are important differences!You see, these are important concepts, & they're being blurred or lost, & even perverted, especially[i]by[/i] Democrats, who want to[i]claim[/i] they are Democratic, but are not (& haven't been for a very long time).In a democratic republic, there is a democratically-held vote which elects representatives, who, even though they are a minority in numbers, get to run things at the behest of their constituency. That way, even if your views aren't in the majority, if you can get your representatives to see the justice of your cause, he or she may choose to allow your opinions/causes to become law, should they be seen to be for the overall benefit of the country.Thus, even if an ugly institution such as, say, slavery, is popular with the majority, representatives may take petitions of the minority & advance them, & abolish it. (Had there not been a war to interrupt the process at... | |
| | The Democratic Party Messed Up! | | Really, they did. They gave us a choice between a woman and a person of color. (I hope no one takes offense; I don't know what the politically acceptable term is.) What they should have done was to run a Black Woman. It has been my experience that a black woman won't take any crap from anyone![b]THAT'S[/b] the kind of leadership our country needs. (And yes, this[b]is[/b] a serious discussion.) I'm not sure if Oprah would do the job, but Aretha Franklin?[b]That[/b] woman would accomplish some sh!t, I'm telling you! So; seriously, who are some black women you think could run the country? | |
| | Who is the most charismatic US President of Democratic Party? | | Hi My lot guys,
Here we have three of the most charismatic Presidents of our time. One Mr.John Fitzerald Kennedy next one Mr.William Jefferson Clinton and finally Mr.Barack Hussein Obama. JFK's presidential tenure lasted less than three years.JFK was the only President having won Pulitzer Prize. Bill Clinton elected twice as the President of U.S. Bill Clinton left the office with an approval rating of 66% the highest end of office rating ever for a President leaving the office after holding it for 8 years.Barack obama just started the top most job in the U.S. He is the first African American President. Though all the three had charisma of their own, I always felt JFK seems to be coming at the top. He served in the military for the US. He served as Commander of Motor Torpedo Boat PT-109 during world war II in South Pacific. Bill Clinton was influenced by JFK when he met President JFK as Boys Nation senator. He wanted to be a public figure and to become the president of the US. So charisma of JFK made one more charismatic President in Bill Clinton. So my vote for charismatic President of US goes to JFK undoubtedly. What is your thought on this? Your thought may differ from mine. So... | |
| | Political censorship - a Democratic Party subversion | | Scandal - I have just attempted to discuss American politics on myLot and have been censored by the authorities. I was discussing certain events during the previous Presidents reign (I am not putting his name in, in case it offends myLot, after all his surname[and that of his father and former President] could be used to refer to a ladies intimite areas.
Many Americans will know that behind both Mr Bs Presidencies, there was a political stalwart, Mr 'sorry, I can not use his Christian name' Cheney. Not only won't myLot afford the politeness to use this gentlemans Christian name, it will not allow me to upload any photos of him (tried several formats). Are myLot trying to wipe this man from history? | |
| | What does Arlen Spector offer the Democratic PArty? | | The talk is Arlen Spector thinks he deserves seniority, something he forfeited when switching his party. He has been in Congress since the 80s, he's a lawyer, previous member but he also says that one of the main factors was that he didn't see his chances of winning against Pat Toomey in the upcoming 2010 primaries for the Republican Party. Does he bring anything other then his own motives? | |
| | OBAMA is officially the Democratic party's Presidential Candidate | | The news in every channel and radio station if about the Democratic National Convention wherein the Democratic Party is officially endorsing Senator Barrack Obama as their party's presidential candidate. There is a lot of hype on this news since as they say, it is a history in the making. It is the first time that a major party in the United States political life that an African American had been nominated to be a presidential candidate. And because of this, everyone is hype up. A television network even interviewed a friend of the late Martin Luther King, Jr. to get his view on this historic moment. They are saying that this is the realization of Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech.What do you think?Boys Nation senator. He wanted to be a public figure and to become the president of the US. So charisma of JFK made one more charismatic President in Bill Clinton. So my vote for charismatic President of US goes to JFK undoubtedly. What is your thought on this? Your thought may differ from mine. So go ahead and give your views and thoughts.
Have a nice day! | |
| | State Democratic Party Chairman Shot At State Party Headquarters. | | I can't believe that someone has gone to these lengths to express there dissatisfaction with the political process here in the United States.What is going on? Are we now copying the actions of the opposition parties in Zimbabwe, Russia, North Korea, Lebanon or the many other dispicable countries that practice this type of behavior.This is America. We should be able to enjoy our Democratic process without resorting to violence.This is not the first episode of violent speach or violent actions towards those who support the Democratic party. This has to be nipped in the bud. It is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. It is a DISGRACE.Here is the article. What is your opinion?(Little Rock, Ark.) KTHV -- The Arkansas Democratic Party says the chairman, Bill Gwatney, is hospitalized in critical condition after shooting at party headquarters in downtown Little Rock. Little Rock police say a suspect in the shooting was shot after after a chase that ended near Sheridan in Grant County. A sales clerk at a flower shop across street from the party headquarters said that around noon, Gwatney's secretary ran into the shop and asked someone to call 911. She said a man had come into the... | |
| | Blacks and the Democratic Party; It Just Doesn't Make sense!! | | In my opinion, to watch the democrats successfully woo the black vote year in and year out is absolutely ludicrous! Black people cannot possibly be as blind as that, can they? The democratic party has always been and always will be the party trying and succeeding to keep the blacks under their thumb of slavery! Just to provide some punch to the words I write, look at this:http://www.opinionjournal.com/extra/?id=110011033 | |
| | Can Obama unite the democratic party? | | Ok I have to wonder can Obama really unite the democratic party,ASSUMINGHillary quits?He has 5 months from today to unite the voters that didn't trust him many female voters, and many others that have not truseted him throughout the race.I'm wondering if it can really be done, I know there are voters who voted for Hillary that are die hard, and I bet that some do a write in on the campaignIt was said she was meeting with VP candidates giving wonder to ws seh going to run as an independent candidate.I'm worried that this unification is coming too late, and I think if it was going to happen it should have happened after the Illinois and N.C primary, I know Hillary was still hopeful then but it was said at that time the math wasn't there.So can Obama unite the DNC again
Will Hillary and Bill campaign for Obama? Or do you think he will stay as far away from them as possible?Mooch | |
