I noticed in the political discussion, Democrats never discuss policy. It's almost like they don't even know about policy. When they don't agree with you, they just attack your character. So, let's discuss some policy here. No character assassinations please.

I will start. Do you think that taxpayers should pay a private organization to fund abortions? I don't think so. I am prochoice, btw.

So that "Bawac" doesn't need to comment in this thread, this is just you imposing your Christian ideology on others; you hate everyone that isn't like you, blah blah blah.

Now let's watch and see what he posts. LOL.

Want to talk policy? Title it as a policy discussion.

Making the thread title an attack on Democrats is not a way to open a discussion.

We have policy discussions here all the time, abortion, gay marriage, environment, it's all discussed and titled by the topic of the discussion.

And invariably it degenerates to a name calling fest, usually started by a handful of liberal side posters. You're pretty good at not doing it. Patting myself on the back I try to avoid it but sometimes just can't help myself.

I think some people just can't help themselves.

Can Democrats ever discuss POLICY? Clearly they can't. The only surprise is you didn't find some way to blame Trump.

I would like to talk about health care.

Our system is broken, and every other civilized country on the planet has figured out how to cover everyone. Single payer is the term usually used, but it is not the only model.

Your opening post does not, BTW, seem to be terribly conducive to an honest discussion about anything.

Really when the OP starts by attacking liberals and I guess you expect Liberals to just bow down to those that attack them?
Not to mention starting the discussion with a conservative lie.

Tax payers do not pay private organizations to fund abortions. Quit repeating the conservative lie. Next.

Apparently you didn't notice that I wasn't addressing the OP but Seacove.
