The Democrats are a bunch of pussies. Their party controls both the House and the Senate and yet theyare still cowed by rabid right wing Republicans. The Republicans left behind two unsolved wars and the mother of all recessions but are still able to dictate the debate on the Healthcare bill with lies and scaremongering. They have accused the Democrats of being socialist because the government wants to bring medical care to around 47 million americans who have no insurance at present. By their arguments Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, two of the richest men in the world, are also socialist because they are using their wealth to finance treatment of HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria in the poorer countries of the world through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. If rich americans can finance medical care in the third world then why is it wrong for their own government to try and bring medical care to their own citizens? Microsoft has been fined in several countries for its retrictive trade practices, ruthlessly cutting competitors out of the market so Mr. Gates is clearly no socialist. The Democrats should have met Republican aggression head on but they are seen to be in the wrong because they are cowards. Already commentators are suggesting that they will lose seats in 2010 and they deserve to. It would be bad for the Americans but good for us Indians to get rid of the Paki loving Democrats.
