Democrats Need to Stand Up

I hope that Healthcare reform passes and Obama and the Dems rub it in the Republicans' faces. They need to be punished. One problem the Dems have is they do not weild their power in a politicaly useful way. The Republicans are against the American people on this health care issue and are using it to try and derail Obama's Presidency. They are using deplorable tactics that cater to the lowest common denominator. These assholes that stand up and say, "I dont want our country turning into Russia or China" at town hall meetings first off sound like total bigots and secondly have absolutley no idea what they are talking about. And the media portrays these random loudmouth jerkoffs as people who have real concerns about the Obama plan. The Obama plan is not perfect and does not have to be. In fact I am still a little unclear of what it is, but I am in favor of any change that could possibly help the millions of people who are being taken advantage of, and I trust that whatever is done will be better than what we have now and what we will have in the future if nothing changes. The point here is people ranging from the middle class to the poor are needlessly suffering because healthcare is a business and not a service. It does not cater to the people. I have a feeling that a lot of these town hall jerks are being paid by special interests to act as beligerant as possible. This is the Democrat's chance to punish the Republicans (and any phony Democrats.) This really needs to be done, for right now we have a minority group of elite hate mongers who are falsely being labeled in the media as representing a large portion of the public. And what's worse these Rush Limbaugh types are able to hold the Dems hostage even though they are a minority. If we want change as a country, then we need to use the power that we won in the last election to put these people in their place. Obama has been very public, opening himself up to criticism. The Democrats need to act decisivley now or face being on the defensive for the next 3 years. We all built this, lets not let it die before we even get started. Death to traitors. Crush the cowerdly, manipulative haters. Make them pay for the hurt they are putting on the people of this great country. Lets take a lesson from the brave Persians and stand up for Democracy now.
