What scares me is how objective I am.

Let's talk healthcare. Way back I introduced a thread titled common sense healthcare. I am not opposed to healthcare for all Americans. I am opposed to healthcare for all Americans funded by half of Americans. Every major nation that has either UHC or single-payer spends about the same as percent of wages for it. Yet if you asked Americans to contribute the same percentage of their wages to fund their healthcare the vast majority would scream that it was too expensive. That is a fact. If I point these inconsistencies out I am not objective? I am a partisan hack because I note that in France or the UK the average citizen pays more than 20% more in taxes than his American counterpart? I would support healthcare reform today if Congress simply stated " we can give you what you want but it's going to be expensive and you are all going to have to contribute proportional to your earnings". What are the chances of that happening? Zero. Instead we will just promise the cheerleaders more benefits on the back of the players already playing the game. And you wonder why I'm biased.

Please, point out for me your posts denigrating the Left for their rabid hatred of Bush.
HE DID IT FIRST!

I wasn't here, however I will tell anybody they are acting like a child (like you are here) regardless of their political ideologies.

You calling a liar, a liar, doesn't make YOU the liar.

Me calling out a partisan hack, doesn't make me one, only that I am able to objectivily see who has blinders on.

Nice try though.

Did I not say in my original post that these people would be here? Sigh

Partisan Hack.

People that degrade every single conversation on this forum by throwing out any talking point which does nothing for the conversation and is only a frutile attempt to push an agenda.

Please help is pretty close too though as I can't believe that some people are so dense.

Your cred erodes even further with your divisive term "these people". You do realize your sentence is divisive?

You are now officially labeled PH!

oh, I see your silly definition above. My post was right about the teabaggers buying up the Saul Alinsky book forty years after its initial publication, nevertheless. So yeah, "Precise, Honest!" Thanks.

Just because you dont like things doesnt mean they're not true
