Well if anything this shows mafoo is wrong. Thugs aren't pussies...

Most thugs are pussies. They beat up on those who can't do anything about it, and when someone who can do something about it shows up, they back down like the pussies they are.

in this case, public opinion showed up, and there is nothing a congressman hates more, then to look like all that's wrong with the world on TV.

Just out of curiousity, you do know that the rest of the world is far left of america, right?

Depends on how you look at it.

If you believe PoliticalCompass.org is correct in its analysis of politicians, the average US politician is quite close to most politicians in democracies around the world. The only countries that are far left would be the ones of dubious leadership like those in Africa, SE Asia and the like.

European (and Canadian, and Japanese) conservatives support universal health care and are generally willing to fight climate change. American conservatives prefer to bankrupt the sick and and don't admit that climate change exists.
