True - I am really interested in Universal, Single payer, but I am concerned about Liberals (the old Republicans) don't want us have protection for the people.

I think that's true ... And ... when we were growing up Republicans and Democrats ... Played Golf together ... Ate Together ... Went to Church Together ... and very often ... VOTED TOGETHER!

The polarization is almost complete... Ds only vote for D ideas, Rs only for R ideas. 50 years from now won't matter, the US experiment will have been competed in failure.

What's so insane is that post-Clinton Dems are far to the political right of former Repub presidents Eisenhower, Nixon, even Reagan. The party today is unrecognizable.

Blue Dog DINO’s are the result of an extreme right pulling the left to center. A true left would be taking the money back from the elite tricklers and ending the misaligned defense budget.

I feel that in today’s politics everything has shifted to the right. This has been part of the catalyst for the polarization we are currently seeing in politics around the world.

Ummm no… completely wrong… todays “centrist Republicans” used to be called “moderate Democrats.” today’s “Democrats” used to be called communist pigs.
