They have always been in the medical business. If your state has public hospitals. What do you think happens when a person can't pay their bill?

Every Republican voted against the government healthcare takeover disaster. I'd say that is reason to be very proud.

Yup. We are united while democrats aren't.

Political discussions, like Religion = troll bait.
"The Demon" = hook, line and sinker without sustenance posts. Kind of like fatfoo.
What political party you vote for = worthless.

The Internet being a place for a bunch of people to complain about shit ++

I disagree. There were court challenges to the patriot act from the day it was signed into law. It just took years to get through the court system before they were finally struck down. It had nothing to do with moving away from 9/11 and everything to do with a conservative court finding them to be illegal and/or unconstitutional.

Correct she was holding parties in her home or other's homes. It is kind of like Tupperware and Avon parties, only they sell dildos and sex gel :)

Correct, there is no reasonable way to discuss what the founding fathers would or would not have wanted or how they would react to today's world. We can only guess. I am almost always for not changing the constitution especially if it is to deny a certain group access to something.



Both. Both parties increase spending pretty equally. If you look at that link I showed you earlier you can see that they all increase spending. It looks to me like no party is worse than the other. You can make the argument that Obama has trumped them all, but up until he took office, both parties spent money like a drunk Kennedy at a strip club.

There is a difference. My freedom of speech can have an adverse effect on other people. My freedom of privacy doesn't.


Should they not be allowed to be psychotic if that is how the people that live there want it?


Yet some of these things, as I have pointed out, are only ideals of the republican party. Their actions show that they are not really carrying out these ideals. If I was part of a group that said they were going to do something and they did just the opposite or they didn't do anything, I would most likely stop being a member of that group.

I guess you feel that you have enough in common with them that you want to affiliate yourself with them. I have the words of Johnny Rotten echoing in my head, " Ever get the feeling you've been cheated? Good night! "

I'm also a big fan of Ron Paul & Schiff, but I don't find myself being very aligned with many Republicans.. founding fathers? yes.. especially Franklin, Washington, and Jefferson. All of the social conservatism on both sides drives me absolutely insane.

Then we're going to have to agree to disagree, as I don't think there is much evidence in that theory, nor in mine.

So as long as she didn't take her nasty habit outside, it should have been ok.


I'd really calling it "amending", rather than changing. And no, my point is, I can almost guarantee that the founding fathers meant one man and one woman, as opposed to anything same sex related.


I suppose, but we'd have to look at their contexts. For instance, I'm fully behind Reagan's defense spending as it was necessary. I'm against FDR's spending as I thought it prolonged the depression.


That's one way to look at it. The other way is, if our country does catch people plotting within our borders. I'm not willing to take the chance of one fuck up from those radical fundamentalists.

I think there are limits. Then again, I really dislike the idea of "Oh I don't care what they do as long as it doesn't affect me." It's a protectionist attitude.

On the other hand, they ARE those party ideals and at some point in time they had followed some of those ideals, which are my ideals. Therefore, I'm comfortable labeling myself as a Republican, but not as comfortable as I was during Bush's first years and I'm waiting to see how the November elections turn out. If something good comes out of them and the Republicans do something, great. If not, I might switch to Independent.

It's like having a friend who sometimes is very flaky. If our similarities are such that his friendship is worth more than not having it, then I'd have to excuse his behavior and hope he betters himself.

Republicans have not proved fiscally responsible in there last several terms in office. Simple reason is wars are expensive. Reagan, Bush and Bush fought wars and Clinton did not. It even goes back several more presidents then that if you look at the stats.

Reagan tried to bankrupt America. He increased spending and decreased taxes. The late 80's were a mess with an entire banking arm driven out of business (S and L's). Top 5? Try bottom 5.

This is retarded. Reagan fought off and ended the Cold War. Bush helped in the Iran-Iraq War. Both were necessarily. Your left wing bullshit doesn't fly, sorry.

"Reagan tried to bankrupt America ROFLROFL". I guess Obama is doing the same thing only ten times more successful.

We know that the CIA had it wrong and Russia was in trouble for a long time and collapsed under its own weight. Reagan did nothing but nice try at rewriting history. Check out the S and L Crisis. A diplomat gave bad advice to an Iraqi diplomat and we got into the Iraq war. Yes previous to that we had supplied Iraq. This was a win for Bush that he supplied and then bombed the same country?

Anyways, America pays a higher percent of GDP towards healthcare then other industrialized countries and we have worse care by most metrics. We handle it through our corporations. It hurts our competitiveness over seas with higher product costs. It does not seem to be working. So why are we fighting for the status quo? Look around the world and pick the best model and copy it. How hard is that?

:thumbsup

me too, dude :thumbsup

I can say the same thing to your stupid statement. "we know that Reagan ended the Cold War and that Russia had collapsed under its own weight." See how dumb that sounds? But liberals have a tendency to not give Reagan credit, instead making up bullshit.
