Cheers To Michael Moore
Screw any Democrat who won't govern like a Democrat.
If a Democrat is against reasonable, progressive health care reform, then there's no reason we should be supporting him or her. I can't think of any reason. Our support needs to be earned. Don't take it for granted.
I like it that Michael Moore is saying that. The Democrats think they can win the last election, then get in there and govern like Republicans, think again. We have a majority to get things done as Democrats.
Michael Moore is threatening to campaign against Democrats who betray us. Cheers to him. If that's what it takes, so be it.
There's a big warning to Max Baucus, Ben Nelson, and some of these other losers. If you're going to be Republicans, switch parties.

Getting Health Care Reform Approved
Is anyone else as fed up as I am with the non-ending circus that Congress is in the process of supposedly getting health care reform approved?
Good grief, wake me up when it's over! This is such a slow moving process, I just hope they get it into effect before I get sick and die. And I'm feeling pretty well at the present moment.
One thing, we haven't got the Republicans on board. And they're nothing but civic vandals. Put forth any plan to actually help people and the Republicans will be there to smear it, kick it, swat it with an ax, and deface it in any way they can.
I've asked the question till it's almost ridiculous, because there's not really a good answer. Why would anyone vote for the Republicans, in light of the blatant fact that they do not mean an ounce of good to the American people? They are so in the pocket of big business interests, big business has to unbuckle their pants a few times a day just so the Republicans can breathe. (I say, Wear tighter pants and sit down more often!)
Some of the Democrats aren't much better, but at least the majority appear to be on our side. Government of the people should mean something. Unlike the Bush years, when it was entirely false.
Just get it done! I'm sick of this slow as molasses process.

Disapproval Of Wilson Passes By Comfortable Margin
The public scorn of Rep. Joe Wilson for his egregious outburst at a recent joint session of Congress came to a head in a vote of disapproval by the House of Representatives. The motion passed by a comfortable margin: 240 yes, 179 no, and 5 saying present.
We can assume the 179 who voted no will each make a similar outburst next time the president gives a speech, since they don't disapprove of Joe Wilson's practice. If they approve, doesn't it stand to reason that they also ought to be waving pitchforks and shouting bloody murder?
My personal opinion is that Joe ought to get help, some kind of therapy for his rage. And having done that, speak with the House chaplain any time he feels it coming back and threatening to get the best of him. And just for everyone's good, it would be good if there were a fence between him and the president anytime the president is in the area.
Other than that, I'm willing to forgive and forget. I'm not turning a blind eye to this outrage, like it may sound. But I'm willing to give Joe another chance. A great nation like ours is overflowing with mercy. At least that goes for the Democrats and any other rational people there might be.

I Don't Know About This Poll
They have a new favorability/unfavorability poll at Daily Kos. And according to it 9% of the respondents don't know George W. Bush. DemFromCT also questions that. Where could these people be, and how did they happen to get sampled for the poll?
Some of the other unknowns probably aren't that surprising? I hear about Jon Stewart about everyday but I never hear people talking about him, or rarely. So he's unknown by 67%, and Stephen Colbert by 76%. Bernie Madoff ties with Colbert at 76%. I don't know much about him, except what's been in the news recently, and I haven't been paying close attention.
The main point seems to be that right-wing nut cases have the lowest unfavorability. So that's great news.
The Democratic party has a 55% approval, the GOP is barely holding the dead-enders at 29%.
Who says there's no good news?
