Divided We Fall

Have we completely forgotten this saying. Because it seems like in politics we have. Since when was it ok for grown adults to act like 5 year olds. "Wawawa!" I'm not getting my way so I'm going to call everyone else names and not do anything useful.

The Rebulicans in congress are so freakin' happy to have a republican in Ted Kennedy's seat so he can stall the Health Care progress. And frankly I don't blame them, everyone can agree that there is major problems with health care in this country, but the Democrats plan doesn't seem to fix any problems, it just plans on putting more people into a broken system. But, Republicans and those who oppose, just cause you don't agree with the bill being drawn up, you can't just dig in your heels, say NO, and do nothing else. Where is the counter proposal from the opposition!?!

I thought the point of a two-party system was to have opposing views and then work to find a middle ground. Where is the middle ground? I propose that a bill be created that addresses tort litigation, malpractice premiums, and other actual causes of the high cost to health care. Once we have tried to fix the broken system, then we can worry about getting everyone covered.
