Not only is coverage expensive but deductible and out-of-pocket costs are also expensive. As a result, there are vast numbers of children and adults who never go to the dentist so when t... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/sparosnare/42 Sat, 15 Aug 2009 10:10:28 Democrats were really bad at outsmarting Republicans for a number of years and finally, we have a President who is really, really good at it. Obama is NOT going to show his hand and give Bushco a chance to "circle their wagons". He will keep them guessing until their asses are in a sling.

Even though we got there two hours early, there was already a huge line of people around the building and stretching down the street a couple of blocks. We were told the place held 3K people and after awhile it became apparent not all there would get in. The street wa... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/sparosnare/27 Tue, 19 Feb 2008 19:08:41 What is victory? Why won't Bush listen to anyone? Why can't he understand adding 20K more troops won't make a difference? Why does he want to send more of our young men and women into a meat grinder?

I hear questions like these from people all the time, they just don't get why Bush is such an ... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/sparosnare/25 Wed, 24 Jan 2007 13:04:18 December 1st is always a very poignant day for me.
