Why we don’t ask the same questions?

From Crooks and Liars today:

Isn’t it interesting? Because I never hear them talk quite the same about costs when it comes to war. For example: “We really want to stabilize Afghanistan – but it has to be revenue-neutral” or “Yes, we know we said it was important to stabilize Iraq, but we simply can’t afford this anymore.”

No, the place where they decide to draw the line is… our health. War is seen as the absolute necessity and health care is seen as optional. That’s just crazy.

Be Bold

While the masquerade of the Republican party continues to play the fool, the Democrats appear to be leaderless. Don’t know about you, but I voted for bold progressive action last November. So far the wing nuts who have absconded with the the GOP have all the talking points and the MSM just keeps on repeating them. The country appears to be confused over what has to be a very simple concept: the health of its citizens ought to be about health care and not about profit. The human graffiti that showed at town halls is angry that we have a Black president, trapped by small minds and unencumbered by the thought process.

I’m looking for a change of strategy on this. Time to call their bluff and pass health care reform with a public option. Bill Moyers writes a letter to President Obama that says it well.
