Part E all the way. We could even start slowly by lowering the Medicare eligibility age by 5 years every year. In addition, negotiate with drug companies like the VA does!
of course the Libs still clinging to Obama's change are spinning this like crazy. it is starting to sound more like teaparty FOXtards on the Dem side at the same time Obama is acting more like a NeoConn in a blue tie.and Ron Paul's answer when he was finally allowed to talk was that they should not be denied treatment, just that if they do need treatment they have to take responsibility for themselves and pay for it with their money, because we shouldn't have to involuntarily pay more because someone else is stupid and decides to opt out if they can't pay for themselves. for people that cannot afford to pay in the system there are church funds, charity orgs, and individual health care savings accounts and familiy or community. or, if a person can't afford to be responsible for themselves then they shouldn't voluntarily opt out of the system. if you want to use the system you have to contribute to it. the teabaggers in the audience are obviously from the same cave as the ones that cheered Perry for being a pro-life, anti-abortion candidate that had 263 inmates executed. when that happened Perry did aplaud with them. i can assure you that Ron Paul was mortified but believes that they has their right to their opinion and he has the right to disagree. and if the moron that kept asking him while he was trying to answer wasn't such a whore for the GOP he would have shut up and listened. don't believe me? watch that part again. if anyone on that stage laughed or clapped it was Perry, not Paul. sounds like the Dems are getting scared of Ron Paul too. just like the NeoConns. they keep switching back and forth between attacking him if they don't understand him and stealing his policy points when they think they do. but the bottom line in this is that health care legislation is a states' rights thing. the feds steal too much, waste too much and if it is legislated in the state level like Vermont and Mass. it gives more control to the people and is always more economical and customisable to the local reigion's needs.
so... my vote is none of the above. i choose Ron Paul. Peace, Liberty and Prosperity!
Ooh, good one, dmcrane1.

"Stop calling it 'shared sacrifice', I want 'shared prosperity' "
GOP + Tax cuts for the wealthy = JOBS CRATER

will 2012 be the year SA Abraham Bolden finally see justice after 45 years of waiting ?
Grayson hit the nail on the head, and I do hope he gets his seat back next election!
Johan Galtung has some interesting theories on 9-11 can be seen on youtube mr galtung also talks about the split in the royal family , wababism and also the treaty of march 1945 between US and the Saudis. wondering if mr Summers researched and used mr. galtung theories within his book or he used different sources. guess i need to read the book to find out .
I thought it was interesting that on the tenth anniversary, George W. Bush finally used the term "Nine-Eleven". While he was in the White House, he always called it "the attacks of September the eleventh, Two Thousand and One", even while Rudi Giuliani was famous for composing all his sentences from a noun, a verb and "Nine-Eleven".
Congress Must continue pushing the Equal Rights Admendment. it is hard to believe in the United States in the 21 century women make less than men
When you get right down to it, the bottom line is that, at the end of the day, you have to spend money to make money. (Is that enough cliches?) I would also say "You have to crouch before you jump."
we have a weak President because the power of the United States is within the Pentagon and the CIA.Revelations came out the Obama transition team was scare of a coup if they seeked to hold Bush administration accountable for war crimes. Johan Galtung has stated that the power of the United States is within the military and CIA not the Whitehouse. Need to expose the true nature of the power of the military and CIA and bring America into the 21 century with soft power to change the mindset of hard power. this effects all sectors of American society from economic to social.
The Strange Politics Of The US 2012 ElectionPart 1, What Both Parties Are Up To
By Jack A. SmithURL of this article: www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=26467
"The president does indeed fight for his convictions, much to the dismay of the liberals and progressives — a prominent sector of his own party constituency whom he mocked as the "professional left," then rendered powerless by furling his brows. The problem isn't the president's "weakness" but his now only partially disguised moderate conservative convictions that allow him to pull his party to the right in the name of bipartisanship, even if it takes humiliating his most fervent supporters".
Depraved Libs ? Fox Rush regurgitated hogwash Obama did not start these 2 long failed wars based on lies & war profits. .He took them on as well as Bush 2008 global crash / depression / 700 billion TARP scam on taxpayers, many years of Reaganomics Bush Cheney toxic deregulation,1986 total amnesty for cheap illegal labor, huge unfunded corp cuts, loopholes, wars, jobs sent overseas with big Bush tax cuts and all you can see is libs are evil ? GOP Baggers have done NADA for jobs All they do is demand more corp cuts- loopholes Same old wealth favoring policies that led to disaster . De Mint / GOP vowed from day one to Break Obama- thats slave talk & bring on his Waterloo That is what the GOP # 1 Goal is Not jobs Not economy Not middle class families. Not old - poor - not education Try Using logic and reason Dave
NO ..NOT as long as war is a massive money maker for Lockheed Halliburton & Blackwater / contractors. Bush Cheney & their corp pals made many millions on these 2 long failed wars but Bush had no clue how to end them..so they dumped them on the new guy . Now Its all Obama's fault. If we get out now GOP Tea Baggers will accuse Obama of " Cutting and running ' if we stay more lives are lost. It just came out that Cheney wanted to attack Syria as well. Petpetual war is the plan .Cheney was the defacto US President for 8 yrs. The Man has no sense of shame and will not admit to any failures, though there were many on his watch. Bush admin got many strong CIA warnings about a coming attack One month before 9 / 11 They got a CIA memo that said " Bin laden determined to hit inside the US ' They did nothing . Bush was advised that Arab men were taking flying lessons in Fla , but asking how to fly but NOT LAND.
No, I don't think infrastructure repairs will occur...until there have been numerous collapses and hundreds killed.

All of them Because he was on My side ; Not sucking up to The Herods & the Gainsayers :
Obama has to quit kissing There A** and needs to stand up for progressive FDR facts ; Power never gives any thing without a Smokin Demand !!!!
They never shut up or care for any one but them selves because the love Greed & Greed is good : { But The Gospels themselves prove } to any common reader that they are like the scribes; Pharisees & Sadducee s and like the Dancer & Mother that asked the king HEROD to place John The Baptists Head on a platter : In collusion with the treasury and fame : They are actually the Gold Diggers and are Robbing the treasury in so many Ways :
Thom, what would Hamilton say about an Infrastructure Bank to subsidize the consumption of the product most closely connected to our two unconstitutional wars?
Increase the gas tax to pay for roads and bridges.
Create a bank to help small manufacturing. Subsidize only solar.
The topic of infrastructure collapse reminds me of the "Mothman stories." The "Mothman creature is often seen before disasters like the famous Silver Bridge collapse in West Virginia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mothman see also: http://qsl.net/w5www/mothman.html. Let's get building; we don't want Mothman coming around.....
Near 70 million liberal maniacs affirmatively voted in 2008 to make a "dumb" war become "necessary" wars (plural).
The "Principles" of Liberal Voters:

Bush put more boots on the ground. Obama put more drones in the air.
Bush put limitations upon torture. Obama removed those limitations, and put unlimited Medieval forms of torture back in Clinton's rendition blacksites, out-of-sight-out-of-liberal-minds.
When will (D) voting liberals close down their John F.Kennedy University (The School of the America's) that has provided advanced degrees of education for the military officers of foreign dictatorships for near 50 years now — a liberal arts school still perfecting the methods of exterminating democratic insurgencies by disappearing good people who stand in opposition to oppression?
There's nothing more disgustingly disingenuous, nor as deeply depraved as liberals are.
The only votes that were not wasted were the protest votes... against the corporate (R) & (D) party.
