Lieberman was the worst because he turned traitor in a blue state.

Most of the others were red state Dems. That doesn't excuse them, but it wasn't as bad as Lieberman's betrayal.

Maybe you neglected to read this?

In 1935 16 out of 25 Republican Senators voted for the original Social Security Act.

In 1965 13 out of 32 Republican Senators voted for the Original Medicare act.

In 2010 not a single Republican Senator voted for the much less progressive Affordable Care act.

This is a stark example of how far to the right the Republican Party has moved.

And yes, it is the Republicans that are standing in the way of a universal single payer system.

There is a bill in congress:

And not a single Republican supports it.

Not one.

Pete...really. I don't like the ACA all that much more than you do, but you can't really believe that the system we had before the ACA was a good system. You have a functioning brain, you exhibit reason, and a twisted sense of humor. You can't want the old system.



Really? PETE????
