Making people buy something they do not want and making others pay higher prices because the takers wish to be lazy is not the answer either.

No. It sounds more like Tim Pawlenty's, Mitt Romney's, Jon Hunstman's, and Newt Gingrich's brand of fascism.

Conservatism is a dysfunction of the brain.

Yeah, I certainly don't have the answer, but am leaning toward if we would get the political games out of the picture then maybe both the repubs. and the dems could actually come up with something that is financially reasonable for people on average incomes.

I agree with you that there are people who have become dependent on too government assistance for the long term. My opinion is we should have government assistance for people, but on a temporary basis, and for those who have come from humble backgrounds that are trying to work their way through college (just one example).

It sounds like the damn government, no matter who is the president these days and that is what is wrong. Republicans are nothing more than a Democrat light and most are not conservative in any way at all. They all, except for some of the nesest elected, make me sick.

Hell no! Would you seriously vote for four more years of economic destruction by Obama? I'll have no trouble pulling the lever for Romney and voting Obama out of office.

I don't believe he will be much different than Obama or Bush (who are very similar in my opinion)

Do any other Republicans agree?
I agree with you. His health care plan is a disaster and he can't muster up the courage to admit it. I am so tired of the annointed getting into the White House and fear he is far too weak a man to stand up against the entitlement crowd. I would vote for him only if he were the candidate running against Obama because I don't believe this country can withstand another 4 years of this nonsense. I would vote against him in the primary.
