President Barack Obama took his pitch for health care legislation on the road Monday, urging voters in suburban Philadelphia to make their voices heard above the political echo chamber in Washington and demand an up-or-down vote now in Congress.

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.
General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.
Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

If we cannot have single payer, then perhaps it is time to do health care state by state. At least a non-profit insurer would be better than this mess, and the states can institute that on their own.
READ MY LIPS, MR. PRESIDENT, it was the voters who elected YOU in the first place. It seems to me YOU are trying to defend YOUR incompetence in dealing with YOUR own Democratic Party and the opposition (the GOP) which are doing everything to destroy YOUR presidency and the nation as a whole.
So cut the crap out, Mr. President, get some courage, fire some of your advisers, inform those democrats in Congress whom do not support your policies in the health care, financial reforms, etc.,. with expulsion from key Senate or House chairs and lay all the cards on the table for once! BE UNREASONABLE FOR A CHANGE! Your faith in "partisanship" with Republicans was over before it even started.
Get real honest to goodness advisers like Michael Moore, individuals who have the brains and guts to tell Republicans, the GOP, Conservatives and Christian hypocrites to go where the sun don't shine!
The Nation expects no Less!
