I got to say that he said the right things.

He gets a big thumb up from me.

I hope Washington wakes up. IMO this wasn't an attempt to just put in a Republican. I really think the people of Massachusetts have sent a message.

Tea party anyone?

I know the type of health care the USA can have, even when free, and it's a good system. Never mind what you hear the nutjobs spouting on the radio. It WORKS for real in other countries. Sometimes there are mistakes, yes, but the biggest mistake is not having access to help. However the method they are going about it is completely wrong with such an astounding national debt.

I think the only man who can figure out the mess and teach the government to truly take care of their own is Ron Paul. Axe the military adventures / projection and set up a national social health net that takes into consideration, income, both corporate and personal. Or have a quota card where so many private clients get in and those approved through the social net are covered by a medicaid type plan. Hard to administer, yes. But that's part of the problem. After the pains are ironed out people will learn quickly to not take such a blessing for granted.

A mostly "free" system is indeed needed no matter what. And that can happen just from cutting the military projection, completely invisible to the tax payer. That is, once the debt is eliminated and the ones thieving the system are properly lynched by the justice system. Tackle the debt and get it over with and make the USA the genuine shiny Harley Davidson low tail it used to be, not some made in Asia knock off it has become.

Dreams... Dreams, dreams dreams...

Hey, isn't that the gun totin' Democrat?
Good for him.
He knows what his party is capable of attempting and he is putting his foot down just as the people are speaking.

I just got home and I think I need to turn on MSNBC.

Big thumbs up to Senator Jim Webb!

Second line.

KUDOS to Senator Webb! He is actually acting like a true elected official. If the Democrats want to be taken seriously, they need to seat Senator Brown before they try to ram the unpopular Health Care bill down our throats. The people spoke yesterday in one of the most BLUE states in our union. The message was "listen to us"!!!! Don't sit in the ivory tower and pretend to know what is good for us without asking. The arrogance of the left wingers is astonishing! If they do try to "pull a fast one" on us again, they will have a very unwelcome surprise come the November elections! Stop the arrogance and selfishness and listen to us.

I agree with Webb, they should quickly confirm Brown, then get down to business with the health care reform bill. That way the illusion of the two party system will still be upheld.
