1. Howard's right

once again. I still think he would make a hell of a president. He's about the smartest guy in Washington.

[madfloridian]

11. And honest.

With ethics.

[Metta]

2. Mazel freaking tov. The voice in the wilderness, again.

Basic common sense tells us that doing the most good is best. :toast:

[man4allcats]

3. Go Howard!

K&R!

:thumbsup: :dem: :thumbsup: :dem: :thumbsup: :dem:

4. You can't average truth and falsehood. Although when the right-wing M$M is

on its very best behaviour, it's their idea of balance.

[madfloridian]

14. The media makes sure the right wing gets heard.

They have never made sure the left wing got heard. During the run-up to the war we never got heard.

[Joe Chi Minh]

18. No. You don't exist. Unless they feel thrreatened and need to berate you.

[Fearless]

5. Anything is worth it so long as we progress FORWARD.

That's all.

7. agreed

[madfloridian]

12. Depends on who we roll over going forward.

:hi:

[Fearless]

17. Well that wouldn't be progress in my book.

:evilgrin:

6. He is so eloquent, so good at framing the debate.

I have become a bigger Dean fan over the last few years than ever before.

I only hope he is our spokesman for a long time and that the networks give him the airtime that he deserves.

[burning rain]

9. Sexy, too.

`

[madfloridian]

13. He really is good at staying on the point.

:hi:

[burning rain]

8. What a terrible man!

Bipartisanship defines goodness. A good bill is any that draws the support of 10 Republican senators. An excellent bill, any that draws 20!

[madfloridian]

10. Like Wyden saying he wants to pass it with 70 votes...

Ron Wyden is against the health care public option. Wants to get 70 yes votes.

70 votes is way too much bipartisanship for me.

[Puzzler]

15. Dean's right...

... as usual.

[madfloridian]

16. I was just glancing at the House bill proposal....

looks like it falls far short.
