4. You need to be blunt in Congress.
Don't mince words so the general public will understand what you wanna say right away.

6. Rep. Weiner
has remained informative and upbeat throughout this whole health care slog. I have great admiration for him doing so because he was very passionate about single payer.

17. Surrender Monkey doesn't walk the talk
He wants single payer, but claims victory by voting for something completely different, and still tries to get credit for wanting single payer.

If your boyfriend beats you, can he get credit for advocating against violence towards women?

He is a surrender monkey, this bill is shit, I need a new party, as all of us with People's interests in common do.

Fire Congress in '10, if it doesn't work, do it again.

23. Anthony Weiner is a grownup
Yes, he wanted single payer, but rather than sulk when he didn't get his way he chose to work actively to get a bill that contains at least some provisions for ordinary Americans. Sadly, any bill was going to have to be watered down to pass the House. This is not the bill any of us wanted, but it's what we have to work with right now. Real changes can still come later, as they did with Social Security and Medicare.

Weiner did not surrender, he compromised -- something only one of his colleagues across the aisle was willing to do, but only after passage of the bill was guaranteed. Same as going into the showroom wanting to buy a Lexus, but coming away with a pre-owned Honda Accord because it's all your budget will allow.

24. Simple lesson in US democracy.
You don't fire Congress. You elect Congress.

Good luck with your campaign. :rofl:

28. That's what's needed to break through the mush that is entrenched
between republican ears. Can you hear their simplistic excuses against that? I'm sure they worked through a hundred excuses in their own heads just so they could justify their breathing. In reality, the most shameful thing a person can say in the United States these days is that they are a republican. It carries with it the baggage of years of greed, selfishness and policies that destroy lives and cause suffering among millions and millions of people.

Bravo, Mr. Weiner. I can only dream of having a man such as you to represent me.
