Lieberman Willing To Sink Health Care Reform... But He Would Really Hate To Do It (AUDIO)

We have heard many times over the past years that health care has been a Democratic issue. If this was truly the case then we need to get present AND FORMER Democratic leaders involved in this battle. We've all been listening to Senators and Congresspeople tell us that we're closer than we have been to real health care reform since the inception of Medicare. If this is the case then we need to enlist the likes of former President Clinton and former Vice-President Al Gore to both push and remind everyone what health care has meant to the party and in fact the nation. I realize that they may be hesitant to get involved since they are no longer involved in politics and it is customary for former leaders not to get involved. However, if they truly believed in health care reform back then, then they must realize that this is a once in a generation opportunity that we must not let pass and that their efforts can be the push we need to get this done.

Please, everyone, DRAFT OUR FORMER LEADERS!!

OBAMA ONLINE -- Where Are The Young Supporters?

"STRIKE WHILE THE IRON'S HOT". Instead, the Obama Administration (OA) has let many "once in a generation" opportunities pass. The OA attempted bipartisanship not realizing the obvious; the opposition has no interest in working with the administration.



When the sky was falling financially at the very beginning of Obama's term the OA failed to enact any legislation whatsoever that would have avoided a repeat performance. Now that the iron has cooled the OA is showing that it has no teeth. It's barely attempting to push any meaningful legislation to regulate derivatives (worth $250-$300 TRILLION or 17X our GDP!), break up those institutions that are "too big to fail" ("Don't end it. Mend it!") and change the structure of risk that lead to the meltdown in the first place.



On health care, Obama's so called "signature issue" the OA made the mistake of "learning" from the Clinton debacle by going to the other extreme and leaving Congress completely in charge of the legislation. The president needs to be a leader not a wing-man here. It's OK to lose a battle. It's unacceptable to not get in the game!



To be fair, and I don't mean to contradict what I just said but, we DO need some patience on some issues. We need to understand that SOME initiatives NEED time in order to be done correctly.



On issues that matter most, to paraphrase Madeleine Albright, by not doing anything "...this is not cojones," she said. "This is cowardice."

Nobel Prize Means No US or Israeli Attack on Iran

Ledluck, you need to understand a few essential points.

1. Iran has publicly and repeatedly stated their intentions of destroying a recognized state - Israel.

2. Iran according to the EU and the US, sponsors terrorists. That means they supply them with assistance like weapons and money etc.

3. Saying that Israel is small is..... like saying Bush wasn't the best president we've ever had. You're understating the point...a little.

Two nuclear detonations annihilate Israel's population centers. It would leave over 90% of Israel uninhabitable from radiation for the foreseeable future.



When the Soviets attempted to put nuclear weapons in Cuba, President John F. Kennedy was willing to go to war to protect our hemisphere.



Imagine just how much more ballistic we would have gotten had the Soviets announced their intentions, on numerous occasions, to bomb the US, using Cuba as it's launching pad!



The stakes were high then.



The stakes are higher now.



When it comes to nuclear warfare you don't have the luxury of sustaining a first hit and then using superior firepower in your retaliation. And Israel is simply too small.



How can we ask Israel to take a MUCH bigger risk than we were ever willing to take? No country would put itself at that kind of risk and neither should Israel.
