Republicans are not the issue my friend. Both republicans and democrats are backed by the exact same elite and doing their bidding. You believe the lie that they are somehow different. In reality, the strong anti-democrat and anti-republican scene is very modern. Within the last 50 years, really. This is exactly what they want. Your allegiance to a... See More political party, as opposed to the bill of rights and the constitution. That way your eyes aren't on who's controlling both parties. You being here following Dennis Kucinich is definitely a step in the right direction. Dennis is one of the few who hasn't sold us out. Please stop believing this is a republican and democrat issue. It isn't, hasn't been, and never will be.

Thank you Dennis. Why should Democrats show 'unity' by voting for a bad bill that doesn't serve the people? I agree with the doctor from the PNHP I heard on the radio(www.pnhp.org ..best source on single-payer reform) who says the American people got "sucker punched" with this bill. There was no real debate on the options, especially the single-payer option, and we're just asked to swallow this bill that does nothing to make health care affordable. We can and should do better.

Kucinich's statement in his voting against the health care bill was a huge disappointment. I am with him on a lot of things and a lot of us want Single Payer but voting against the bill could have fucked things up for the entire bill and we can't be so picky about what we want.

Thanks so much for having the courage to stand up and vote no on this watered-down travesty called health care reform. If only other progressives would have had the guts to do what you did than maybe some real change could have happened. Thanks also for appearing on "Democracy Now" to get the message out.

Great comment which I paraphrase: The purpose of our government today is to transfer the wealth of the nation to the ruling elite.
