I just think that the opposition has a bigger voice because they have the money to be heard.

Sure there are a lot of Americans who support health care reform barbara. Just not the majority of Americans. And I'm not willing to get too cozy with the concept of "uninformed" Americans. Americans are the most intellectually lazy citizens of the developed world. And...IMHO...it's a laziness of convenience.
Back in the '60's we didn't have any money. Everybody else had the money. The silent majority had the money. The military industrial complex had the money. But we were angry enough, and disillusioned enough, and being sent of to slaughter enough that enough of us said...OK...just a minute now, this whole commie domino effect has turned out to be utter bullshit. So we're out in the streets of Chicago in 1968 getting our heads cracked open...when it would have been so much more convenient just to believe whatever was coming out of Spiro Agnew's festering piehole.
