Some would rather spend time throwing out blue sky stuff and attacking Democrats that point out real life issues with what they propose. The mechanics of winning solid, ironclad power to make what they want happen bores the shit out of them, so they run to the next street protest.

Because Conyers is not a national figure..... virtualobserver Sep 2017 #3

Do you have any idea of how weird what you posted sounds. Blue_true Sep 2017 #58

I know who Conyers is because I follow politics. He is a Washington figure, not a national one. virtualobserver Sep 2017 #64

BTW, John Conyers ran for President. Blue_true Sep 2017 #67

running for President certainly does not......no more than it made Jim Gilmore or Lincoln Chafee one virtualobserver Sep 2017 #73

I am so sick of hearing about single payer bills when the ACA is likely to be repealed Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #4

if Republicans repeal the ACA.... virtualobserver Sep 2017 #7

I don't know that is true...and even if we crush them...we still don't have the votes until 20 Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #8

I can't prove that we will have the votes....but I think that we will. virtualobserver Sep 2017 #10

Maybe we will and maybe we won't...but betting thousands of lives that we will Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #14

Not a wedge Trumpocalypse Sep 2017 #15

Sure. nt Susan Calvin Sep 2017 #28

What does that mean? Trumpocalypse Sep 2017 #42

Whoa. Stepping up the game, are we? Susan Calvin Sep 2017 #46

You certainly implied he/she (don't know) was lying tymorial Sep 2017 #55

I said it sure is a wedge, whether meant or not. Susan Calvin Sep 2017 #57

But it shouldn't be a wedge. Trumpocalypse Sep 2017 #90
