This leads to an image of someone passing laws that no one supports. What we need is a Barry Goldwater of the Democratic Party, someone who can sell the message.

I love how people said he was a bully with health care and how he needs to learn how to not be so left.

FDR lied to people "for the good of the people" and is warshiped for his decision. if that happened today people would go ape shit. you should look at the lawsuits that Social secrity had against it when it first came out... people are scared of change, the obama plan does a lot of good for the lower class, i have already seen it. I agree the debt is too high and its easy for us to say stop spending. if you think its that easy, why dont you do something about it and run for office?
