ORIGINAL: popeye1250 And I'm surprised that Oblunder *doesn't* support a public option. And I no longer vote for Democrats because they're just too fucking stupid. Obama screwed up when he didn't demand a public option. Hillary Clinton used to be for a public option until she was paid to change her mind. Anyone who has seen Sicko knows this. I suspect someone paid Obama to back off. Also, Bill Clinton signed NAFTA which was definitely a mistake. I know it was already drafted before he took office, but nobody forced him to sign it. Republicans (the party of no) aren't any smarter. They voted no on a bill that discouraged outsourcing and encouraged job growth in the US just because Democrats came up with it. The United States needs leaders who will pass single-payer health care, get us out of these free trade deals, find a way to end outsourcing and bring jobs back, protect our borders, enforce illegal immigration laws, end overseas wars, and stop all foreign aid when our economy is in trouble. So what if they have to refuse to be bought? They're already rich so they don't need the money anyway. So what if turning the bribes down means they won't have the campaign funds to get re-elected? They would be remembered in history books for years as the leaders who did the most good for the American people.
