Electoral college as a compromise Videos

i wish both the rightwing and leftwing would just pipe down for maybe 10 years and reconcile with the fact that both sides are full of shit... so we can get a canndidate in office who MIGHT actually bring positive change while the left and right stop their 1000-year bitchfest just long enough for someone with a sense of duty to get in

Cry me a river and go serve in the "War on Women". 

@ Brimar7:You are the smoothest!Let's do lunch!

+Bob JonesI  SAID LIBERAL VOTE. Liberal=/=Progressive.My biggest priority as a liberal is civil liberties. Democrats are quickly losing credibility. They're starting to ban every petty little thing they find displeasing, from outdoor smoking to plastic bags. That's not liberal by any sense of the word.

+kirpid You're confusing true immigration, which is done in accordance with the law, and illegal entry, which is what illegal aliens do, and is definitely not "immigration".Who said anything about the "liberal vote"?I'm talking about rank and file Americans, and don't limit my thinking to the constraints imposed by the left vs right dogma paradigm.You're stuck in the two party box.

+Bob JonesActually, I'm going to have to disagree with amnesty losing the liberal vote. That's a strictly paleoconservative wedge issue. Very few liberals oppose immigration.

Called it 8 months or so ago over this very reason.Guns, and Amnesty.

Repeal the idea of forcing a person who makes 30000 to pay a health insurance premium of 6%.I think that alone is making this nation much better.

Canada has five parties just so we're not choosing from a turd and shit sandwhich. Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! Why isn't Michael Moore making a film on this???

that's why Canada allows 5 main political parties that way ur not just picking between a turd and a shit sandwich, a better system imo the states need to adapt the same system

+2snoopys  Fuck off. Kyle is only right on Zionist Israel v Palestine issue. I salute him on that other than that he just babble 

You're full of bs  

fuck non Christians and Christians who don't think like I DO. fuck the rest of the world who don't like what we do to them

+AltruisticWarrior An to take it a step further, unions hardly even fucking exist!!! Maybe 6% of our private sector workforce is unionized and 11% of our public sector is, big whoooop. That isn't enough unionization to do anything. They're really just there as a formality and a boogie man so the GOP can always have something to point at. 

The only lives they care about are the wealthy ones paying for their next election ticket. They accuse Dems of having these big bad union backers but if you look at the numbers, union funds fall drastically behind compared to what the opposition receives. If it were up to me, we would remove parties and institute a publicly funded election system on a federal tax of .5%. That is so marginal that anyone fed up with the way things are would happily pay.

even though i disagree with the way it was done medicare part d was suppose to reign in big pharma by having lower payments through contract. the problem being medicare doesnt lower cost it just lowers what an individual pays. also the cbo budgets must be done by toddlers who just cought grasp of what numbers are.the right have always been for privitizing medicare. its been a long standing talking point that republicans want to take it away when what there really doing is replacing an antiquated law for 90 years ago.the point of reigning in cost was the gov would have multiple plans and multipule options on those plans. with the mandate of insurance the government cost would be less allowing people to keep money and buy insurance. there was a medicare clase on the original but it would only of covered maybe 5 percent of people.ill say this the moral conservatives are not real republicans. they have no republican values no republican arguments. think about it all there dislikes (gays,other religions that arnt jewish.abortion.birth control ect.) are based on theocracy not republican ideology so i dont agree with them on like 90 percent of things.its not misrepresenting the original i laid out how the original works. the reason its shot in the ass is the government is paying for the insurance for a large percentage of people with little negoation wall between them. with the insurance compnies taking money directly from the government it will be no time till those insurance co lobyist gets tat companys hand farther into taxpayers wallets. a one size fits all plan basically makes insurance a monopoly . no competition no option.and yea a few people did rand paul had a plan paul ryan had a plan im thinking there was at least on more big time republican that had a plan. paul ryans plan was to privitize which would of made billions for the tax payers instead we had to borrow money. and it was killed by hiding behind old people again because all the democrats said there going to take away old people healthcare which were lies.

+tommy g The GOP has zero interest in reigning in big phama and Bush's medicare give away proved it. The right would crush medicare and have been the ones who vowed not expand it in their states.   There was no public option there is no provision to reign in costs because that was never part of the heritage foundations plan.Both sides of the isle are corrupt but we need to stop pretending the gop ever wants to do anything for anyone except big donors.  They fought against their own plan by misrepresenting it and never once have I heard a gop leader share your spin why they turned it down.   This is pretty surprising from a group who is so well focused on their messaging.  I have only heard kill it, kill it, kill it and have never seen them propose anything to make it better.

no they wanted changes in the bill thats why it got 0 republican votes.yea it was a republican plan till they added the expanded medicare in the law which gives around 80 percent of people on it free or below market value. which shits on the point of the bill which is to be a low gov cost plan which is thrown out the window.instead of medicare for all or most we need to rein in hospitals big pharma and the rest.i agree with the warrior on this all the gov has done is open the public coffers to pharma monopoly hospitals and medical device make/producer. nothing in the law stop price gauging. which means we just did them a big favor by expanding medicare which was not a republican part of the bill

They wanted to kill it and they did nothing to sign on.  This was not a liberal plan and it was the weak option proposed by the gop.  It is better than nothing but we should not pretend it was anything but a right wing solution to  the problem.  The parts people hate are lifted right off the original plan.

it should have really been Medicare for most paid for by Big Pharma, wealthy doctors, and the rich period.

If it leaves big pharma and insurance able to increase profits, it is compromise. Any true blue blood like Sanders would've went with a true public option.

The media has been bought and sold in the marketplace as the pols. are. It is all propaganda now. After replying to you beofre I thought of Biill Moyers Journal on modern media and how free speech is gone. Watch this and learn as I did. There is hope as long as we know.

Wow, I didn't know they had C*Span back then! hee hee. I remember seeing the full re-enactment in '94 when it first ran on C*Span. I was really impressed with Mr. Krebs. I sat through the whole thing three times. I'd give anything for a DVD.

Insitutions do not die,they don't live and only exist as long as the sun shines and humanity lives ie, the church deomcratic systems , agriculture.

Maybe someday someone will defeat the RepubliCrats, who could lead a "government of the people, by the people (&) for the people."

When Lincoln (Mr. Krebs) was younger...... wow im very impressed! This guy is awesome! He's still got it!

What an AWESOME peace of history. You feel like your watching Lincoln & Douglas for real.

ps....besides if a caveman can do it-- it has to be easy, right? Sorry dude- I had too.

This really was awesome. Was it really supposed to be like that back then?

Why does Lincoln have such a crazy look in his eye?

Boy C-Span is really behind in the news...

Good job!
