They tend to be somewhat cowardly, acting most often in a pack mentality and bullying those they deem weaker so long as they are in a group. Rarely do you see a lone Conservative challenge others; but in a group they become ferocious bullies.

A Progressive is always going to get in hot water with a group of Conservatives. We become the bull in the china shop. I have experienced this a lot in the aviation community where pilots, by and large have huge political sticks up their asses and become angry when anyone challenges them on their anachronistic viewpoints....

I agree that Obama should have tried to repeal some of them, but it is a lie on your part to say he did it. The fact that you had to ask where the bailout money went shows you lack any education on this subject. Do a Google search and you will see exactly which banks got what and how much has been paid back with interest. If the banks pay as agreed, the American people will have made billions on the interest paid by the banks.



As for health care, the OMB disagrees with you. A single payer system is actually one of the best things possible to start reducing the deficit. You clearly have no understanding of the mechanics of single payer (like most right wingers). Every proposal includes the mechanism for the system to pay for itself through premiums paid by the people and their employers like it is now with private insurance. Only difference is you do not have huge, bloated private corporations sucking huge profits out of the system like we do now.

From what I am reading here, you are just another Beck Limbaugh listener with "talking points" and have no real factual information on the subjects you are trying to speak of.......
