Left wingers are calling for boycotts of Fox TV hosts just like Anita Bryant used to do, and right wingers are shouting and disrupting meetings just like Abby Hoffman used to do. Stop name and blame calling just because you can't get something through a Congress with the biggest majorities in recent memory. Can't anyone reason without resorting to kindergarten mentality any more? Yeah, well, you can’t get angry for folks using each other’s tactics!

We are so tired og hearing that if we do not support a particular plan for health care reform that somehow we do not want any reform. The real issue is people are fed up with typical "south side Chicago" politics. Promise one thing but do another. When the plan has tort reform and ability for my existing private policy to cross state lines then I will listen. When t provides someone a tax credit with which to buy coverage rather tan just "give" it to folks, then I will listen. Yes you can tax my private plan, so long as I get the same benefits. But the President has narrowed his options for what can be touched via his campaign promises, his deal with pharma industry, the fact that he and over 80% of all members of house and senate are lawyers, etc, etc. When they are cutting deals with one side it leaves more of the "cost" of reform to be carried by the other side. This type of two faced self serving behavior is something that the majority of americans are so tired of, from both parties. They thing we are their employees. They think their job is to make their organizations bigger and more powerful. In that regard they act like a lot of corporate pencil necks. But unlike the corporations they are no for profit operations. This is OUR government and OUR money. We have no faith that they will spend it wisely. Oh Cyntihia.

Well, she’s ba-a-ack.” That’s because I’m guessing more people believe in Dorothy’s existence than those who believe that a right wing conspiracy ever existed, or exists now. When Ms Clinton first used the phrase “vast right wing conspiracy”while being interviewed by Matt Lauer on January 27, 1998, she could not name these conspirators, nor quantify their “vastness.” That is because they did not exist. And yet, Ms. Tucker believes that this same vast right wing conspiracy – the one that never existed – still exists today. And she cites these dark, shadowy, and unquantifiable forces as standing in the way of all the good work President Obama and his allies seek to do. Because she has no facts, Ms. Tucker, like Ms. Clinton, resorts to calling into question the character and motivation of those who would dare challenge President Obama’s (and her extraordinarily transparent) political agenda. Ms Tucker is doing what children do. If children cannot understand or accept the real world, they make up fantastic, mythical worlds in which they let their minds wander to create new creatures to love or to fear. Fortunately, children don’t bring creations from their mythical worlds into the real world. Unfortunately, this is precisely what Ms Tucker is now doing – replacing facts with amazing stories of dark and sinister people. Tragically, some readers will be lured into believing her fanciful world of vast right wing conspiracies actually exists.
