>Tracy, please read what I wrote. there is no SIGNIFICANT left. Both the democrats and replicans are considered right. Only Ralp Nader and Dennis kicinich are considered left. Also bear in mind that the terms left and right are subjective depending from which angle you look at it. Compared to many european countries there is no significant left in the US. If there was, you'd have a national health care a long time ago and unions would still be there. Tracy, I do respect your opinions, but this is one you have no knowledge about. Compared to forreign politics there is no significant left.

Just because Kucinich didn't get the Democrat ticket, doesn't mean there is no significant left. It doesn't take a significant left to incorporate national healthcare. It takes a significant majority of the public supporting it. I think the majority of the public today do in fact support a national health care. I think we may have it in less than 20 years. The problem is that the public is voting more to the right based on other issues. Also, what gave you the idea the U.S. doesn't have unions anymore? They are every where here.
