You’re probably right about the rich just buying a different group of politicians but maybe some of these people would do the right thing in their final term in office.

Arkansas political elite must be a subsidiary of Walmart.

I disagree, but I do think public campaign finance only would have the best chance of leveling (and opening) the playing field.

Term limits just mean the rich have to by off new candidates from time to time. We need to keep the rich from being able to do it at all.

They create a hell on earth for most Americans while they live lives of luxury and priviledge. They forget what happened to Louis XVI.

Wouldn’t it be refreshing to see some of the 21% of his constituents that do not have insurance show up at his dog and pony show demanding the same health care that this shill has for himself.

The closest “town hall mtg” for me is 4 and a half hrs away.

Give me a bill that I can support (like HR 676) rather than the insurance industry bought-out HR 3200 and I will be there, no matter how sick I am.

The reason hwh Right wingnuts have gotten the better of this one , is that Dems refuse to support real reform. Obama and the Dems are NEVER going to please right wingers or Blue Dogs (who should be GOP), but he keeps trying and refuses to support the Real Left.

I do not understand why people were so upset when the South wanted to secede—think what we could do without them! (and NOT do!)

I used to live in Western Europe (yes, Id go back if I hadnt lost most of my money in a govt pension plan to health care) and I’ve been fighting this one for ages…the “public option” is a joke and will be so watered down, that, believe ms, most people that need help will not even notice a difference and the Dems will have wasted all of that political capital….course, they always do that and that is why I’m not a Democrat anymore.

“No Arkansas candidate for Senate or Congress was opposed by the other major party in the 2008 election.”

A strong case for term limits.

I’m glad you folks (Jane and others) are out there putting the pressure on. I am a 61 y/o Democrat who has had it with all of them. I have canceled all of my subscriptions to any administration or Dem websites and have decided to stop giving any $ to any of them.

I am sick of spineless Democrats. They can all go to hell.
