That's fine, Acorn. Just pay your taxes; I'm paying off a new car.

Acorn - As opposed to 0% more Americans getting health care under a (shudder) Republican "government".

Badsey - Never have I seen a more blatant display of shameless hypocrisy than your 10:48 pm post. You preach about honorable service, then refer to it a "slavery/commitment/indenture".
Remember your comments the next time you hear of an American troop dying in your defense.

LFRAgain - Excellent, excellent post.
I'll go further: Why is sending billions of our hard-earned tax dollars to help "rebuild" Iraq considered patriotic, but spending the same to provide hard-working Americans and their families health care is considered "socialistic"?
The Republican mantra. I'd say it's why they lost.

Molenir - "Commiecare"? Stay classy there, man.
How about this as a compromise: You can either have your tax dollars spent to help re-build Iraq or you can have them spent on providing Americans (i.e. our own) much-needed health care.
I opt for "B", but then that's just the Patriot in me.

tigermoth - I do agree entirely that the well-being of our children is paramount to us both. I think you and I are "on the egg", meaning that if you picture an egg with both of us starting at the bottom and heading towards the top (but choosing opposite sides of the egg), we soon find ourselves as separated as possible, yet still heading towards the same goal. As always, I very much appreciate your civility in both expressing your views and reading mine. I just think it's a pity more don't follow our example.

Palin is against American public opinion. What the rest of the world might think is only unimportant to the ever-diminshing minority of right-wingnuts.

tigermoth -
Nope, it doesn't; I'm much more uneasy at the idea of my kids not being able to afford reliable health care after their care under my military coverage is yanked out from under them. I would much rather support a government that is actually interested in bringing health care to Americans that make my kids take a "crapshoot" on having decent health care as they grow older.
This is my main motivation for supporting the long-overdue universal health care in America. As much as I respect the civility with which you offer your opinions (sadly lacking with other JT posters), I feel no need to convince you of anything. I support President Obama's health care plan because my family benefits from it.

tigermoth - You just defeated your own argument with this line: You erroneously seem to think that all Americans that aren't currently on public assistance are well-off, or at least enough so that they shouldn't care if Uncle Sugar dips his hands in our pockets one more time to help our unfortunate brethren.
It's exactly those kinds of Americans that this law will help; unfortunately, it's also those kinds of Americans that the right-wingers never talk about. The right-wingers want to say that the only ones who will be benefit from this bill are lazy welfare recipients; they never mention the vast majority of Americans who, like you say, work their arses (arses?) off and still can't make ends meet, despite being above the poverty line. It's precisely these Americans who stand to benefit most from this welcome law.
Acorn -
We sure won't. We'll defend America against your pathetic rebellion just like we did last time. I own guns; how 'bout you, tough guy?

This Amerika, with a "K", of which you speak doesn't exist, nor will it ever. Sorry if you don't like that fact.

Then take the billions we're wasting in Iraq and put that toward Health Care for Americans.
That was easy.

I've said it for years: Out of Iraq, into Afghanistan, IF you expect the US to win this war.
My God, it it SO great to finally have a real Commander-in-Chief.

Good! Please don't! The more Palin and the Teabaggers talk, the stupider they appear, the easier Obama and other good Democrats get re-elected, the better for America.

Stay classy there, kid. Check out my other posts to see how many polls I've seen.
Ain't gonna happen, sweetheart. Don't forget where you heard it first.

Nah, sailwind, President Obama's just giving as good as he gets; I can't blame him, especially with all the opportunities he gave the Repugs to get with the program. Oh well, all those GOP Congresspersons who are gonna lose their jobs in November will find work somewhere, I suppose.
