I told Senator Carper this to his face at a closed meeting. We can't call him out on this publicly, because he refuses to be in the public taking questions on this.

Beyond that - well they still treat us like the red-headed stepchild of political discourse. Remember how the left blogosphere told everyone about Lieberman and we were dismissed as crazy and mean? Well, we were right about that weren't we? Carper does get a lot criticism in the left blogosphere. Beyond that – well they still treat us like the red-headed stepchild of political discourse.

I don't listen to local talk radio nearly enough, but when i can, and the conversation has anything to do with health care, i dont hear Carper's name mentioned. Likewise i havent seen many scathing criticisms in the News Urinal's opinion section. Finally, all of the national attention is on the other 3 conservacRats, even by Keith, Rachel, and Ed. Tom carper's feet could stand to be held to the fire in a much more public way.... even if it is so he can be a proud pet of the insurance companies like Leiberman I agree with jk’s comment as it applies to everything beyond this site.

Is the Delaware Democratic Party so controlled by Carper that none of you will even speak out about this carpetbagger? Shame, Shame, Shame!

Gov. Dean took the carpetbagger Carpers head off. He called him a silly man and an obstructionist. It appears our very own bought and owned by the insurance companies, big pharma, bankers et al Tom Carper is the man behind the scenes working with Blanche Lincoln, Joe Sleiberman, Ben Nelson to destroy the public option. Here is Carper pushing his "exchanges", and Opt in/Opt out" bullcrap in the Senate behind closed doors. When will the democrats in Delaware understand this man works against Delaware and this country at every opportunity. Why are we not holding this carpetbagger accountable. Is Delaware the State that will be nationally known for destroying the Public Option? Are we going to let this man destroy it without a word, a protest, a call to justice? Waiting to see how you libs handle this one? What no one saw Olberman last night. Gov. Dean took the carpetbagger Carpers head off. He called him a silly man and an obstructionist.

It's like when little kids ask for "pisketti and meatballs". OK, sweet little troll, let me help you out, little guy. Fun fact! Every member of congress already gets the benefit of government-run health care already. There are no Senators or Congressmen who buy private health insurance - because private insurance companies are all overpriced and will rip you off if you actually get sick, or worse, have a child with a birth defect. I currently receive corporate health insurance from my employer. But I would rather have the same kind of insurance our Senators get currently. In my opinion, there is no better way to insure that public option health care is top quality than to make sure we get the same care our government does and vice versa. So I am 100% in favor of this amendment as a consumer protection measure. Furthermore, if you think public option health care will be mandated for everyone, then you need to learn what "paranoid fantasies" are and how to avoid them and people who suffer from them. You're afraid of things that aren't real, just like the Boogeyman and Vampires. The health care bills that have been introduced before congress protect the right of consumers to buy whichever plan they want. Final thought: Reading is fundamental. Stay in school!

We don't object to Congress taking the public option, that's the point of laughing at the stoopid of Coburn and Vitter. And you're wrong the public option is not mandated for everyone. It's pretty limited, only to the uninsured. Most insurance will still come through employers. Huh?
