That's a lie. The New Deal was in FDR's FIRST TERM. He was re-elected because people LOVED HIM! Edweird Jan 2012 #8

Well you may see it that way - tell me are you old enough to remember - I am. jwirr Jan 2012 #10

So are you denying that the New Deal was in his first term? That's FACT not opinion. Edweird Jan 2012 #11

FDR also had 377 House seats and 73 senators. FarLeftFist Jan 2012 #18

2006 and 2008 saw wins by Dems and a significant majority - which Obama pissed away on RW policy. Edweird Jan 2012 #20

Teabaggers got out 9% more voters than we did. joshcryer Jan 2012 #28

You know, it is quite misleading to pretend that 258 house seats and 58-60 senate seats is at all BzaDem Jan 2012 #29

No but for it all to come together took more time than to get it passed. Everyone did not recover jwirr Jan 2012 #25

But it did not take FDR 4 terms to accomplish it as you claimed. Edweird Jan 2012 #26

It took a Congress that Obama didn't even come remotely close to having. n/t BzaDem Jan 2012 #30

If he hadn't pissed away his majority advocating the RW individual mandate 2010 could have easily Edweird Jan 2012 #32

You are missing my point. I'm saying the FIRST Congress Obama had wasn't even remotely close to what BzaDem Jan 2012 #35

I'm saying that Obama had a significant majority to start with and could have added to it Edweird Jan 2012 #47

Medicare absolutely has an individual mandate. So does Canada. BzaDem Jan 2012 #33

It is funded through taxes - that is the opposite of an 'individual mandate'. Edweird Jan 2012 #37

A mandate is a mandate regardless of how it is funded. Either the healthy are forced to participate, BzaDem Jan 2012 #39

It is simple. So simple that your lies are embarrassingly transparent. Edweird Jan 2012 #41

LOL, Medicare is taxed. It's a mandate. joshcryer Jan 2012 #34

Yeah, uh, tax funded social programs are the opposite of the 'individual mandate'. Edweird Jan 2012 #36

I'll ask again: Assume for the sake of argument that Bernie Sanders was correct, when he said that BzaDem Jan 2012 #38

We ALREADY HAVE SINGLE PAYER - it's called Medicare. Edweird Jan 2012 #40

Do I really need to spell it out? Assume for the sake of argument that Single payer FOR ALL would BzaDem Jan 2012 #42

Except for the glaring FACT that there is no need to ASSUME anything. Edweird Jan 2012 #45
