Reply #91: I know what it's like to be downtrodden [View All]

I have a disability. Eventually, I might be able to work if I had access to healthcare that wasn't connected to employment, but not as things are. DK offers me no hope of getting any. His demand for single payer is not going to get me or the children of single mothers insured. Dean's plan would insure all children people at 3x the poverty level. That would probably include people who don't have any income, don't ya think?
If any president especially a self professed highly religious president abandons Iraq, we could expect horrifying results. Evangelical fundie or mainstream Catholic, invoking it is invoking it and making it a part of public persona is dangerous for any president to do in our current situation. DK would be a disaster of a president for many reasons. The current situation there is our responsibility. We need to bring the UN in, before we withdraw. Only caring about Americans is a worldview I expect from hateful, xenophobic, ethnocentrics not Democrats.
If you really believe that compromising with a Democrat who isn't going to make the world perfect and heal all your wounds is evil, then you are very politically naive.

Should all of the liberal women who were involved in abolition and the women's movement have demanded that African Americans put them "on the ticket" for the abolition amendment even though they knew it wouldn't pass that way? Should they have asked those African Americans to abandon the progress that was at their fingertips so that they could push for what they wanted but knew the country wasn't ready for?
