    Even though I'm a cross between a conservative and a libertarian

    I am madder than a hornet that the Republicans didn't take care of this Insurance Reform business when they were in there.

    The fact that Obama is calling his socialistic medical take over "Insurance Company Reform" is way beyond laughable. Too bad there are so many liberals on the take selling that crap to all the uninformed and uneducated people in this world. Plus, I always worry about the smart to dumb ratio at the voting polls.

    Well, older folks, independents and college grads are moving away from Obama. Hes losing them.

    So, why is it the R's didn't take care of it again?

    The R's suck just about as bad as the D's do.

    Because they were busy expanding the scope of Medicare?

    I'm just throwing out a guess. But in this entire healthcare debate, it's a very valid point. We've needed reform for a long time.

    They never had enough power to overcome democrat obstruction, either. Not rocket science, nor were they so inclined to shut out the democrats like the democrats are now doing to the republicans.
    Put a lid on it! Kiss it goodbye. We gave it away, and apparently thought it made sense to do so.

    I worry about that, too. It seems to hover at about 96% dumb most years.

    Re: Even though I'm a cross between a conservative and a libertarian

    I have said it before and I will say it again. One of the best solutions put forth so far is that of the health savings accounts. It has a cost reducing affect on both providers and insurers.

    That, and I wish medical insurance companies were allowed to sell policies across state lines, portability. Oh, and then there is all the insurance fraud abuse costing billions a year. Those are some of the things that could have been addressed and changed.

    The DEMOCRATS have FOREVER fought tooth and nail against those things, because they WOULD BE HELPFUL in reducing costs, and the only thing the democrats have ever wanted is what they are pushing for right now...their beloved SOCIALIZED MEDICINE. It's on the way, very soon.

    They were too busy selling the country out to Goldman Sachs. I think Denny Hastert is a good man, but he has to be the worst Speaker of all time.

    Re: Even though I'm a cross between a conservative and a libertarian

    Quick question, is America the last bastion of sanity in the Western World? I mean, every other civilized nation has nationalized health care, so I ask, are we the sane or insane ones?

    Shut out? When you vote against an anti-rape bill cause the guy that proposed it had a (D) next to him, you ain't being shut out, you just ain't showing up.

    I don't know whether to find the naivete of thinking there are people in DC not on the take from the insurance lobby to be charmingly optimistic or sad, either way, it's certainly uninformed.

    That's the laziest argument I've ever heard for socialized medicine, not that I haven't heard it a lot.

    You and LAS are two sides of the same coin. Do you have any other talking points you want to relay to me from listening to Rush's show today?

    Dude, I wasn't making an argument. I said it was a question, and God damn it, that's what it was. I should know, I wrote it.

    Laziest answer to a simple question ever.

    Even you can (I hope for your sake) do better than that.

    Your right. You and LAS are not two sides of the same coin, you're the same person. Let's see, typical responses in a LAS - RLIMC bitch fest. "Haha. That all you got."

    I'm sorry for feeding the troll.
