You won't get exactly what you want most of the time, but you can get what everyone needs to function most of the time. #mepolitics

Yeah that's not how the health care debate has been going at federal level. It isn't lack of imagination. It's that two parties have different priorities. #mepolitics

I agree. They absolutely have different priorities...and a stalwart determination to vilify the other's position. #mepolitics

I’m sorry but the “villains” are no where near equal. The #GOP has been at the forefront of roadblocking any decent progress toward universal coverage for decades.

I did not assign a value to the villainy, it isn't productive to declare them even or one worse. Both sides feel the other is fundamentally wrong in their beliefs. That does not mean that a solution palatable to both sides is impossible. #mepolitics

Four decades of trickle down, offense dep’t expansion squeezing out other priorities, chipping away at the New Deal & Great Society, politics serving corporate power/voice over people lead me to conclude that about four decades in a progressive direction is overdue. #mepolitics

The problems we have are, in part, because we have been sending people to DC that will not or cannot work collaboratively. I don't think the pendulum lands in the middle on most issues, it also seldom stops all the way to one side. #mepolitics

We need to stop thinking sides and start thinking movements... like Dr. King. #mepolitics
