I tend to agree that the republicans are going to continue to get screwed unless they become slightly more socially liberal. It's funny, I've heard a lot of young Republicans echo the same sentiments as the article. Hell, even Megan McCain is on the right ( Read more... )

I vote Republican, but I wish they would change their views on those issues...

This is becoming more and more each day...but I am voted registered as a Republican....and I am more conservative than other Republicans...but it do see their point of views. Is it just me or does anyone else think the priorities in this country has gotten off the track? For example: The Health Care Reform...I'm at the tail end of the Baby Boomers..which means i am in my fifties. Do you realize that if this bill passes...well let me give you a scenario: When i reach 65 i find out i have terminal cancer. The treatments would only prolong my life for another 6-12 months. With this bill...the doctors are left to choose if i should receive the treatments...or should i just accept the cancer and let nature take it's course. Another scenario....an 85 year old lady had a stroke...it has left her like a vegetable and she can't breathe on her own. With this free Health Bill the doctors again will choose if an 85 year old woman is worth getting any kind of medical treatment because this woman has lived her life and she's going to die ( ... )

"If you have a pre-exiting medical condition...you will be pushed all the way to the back of the line to receive medical assistance"

This is already happening, you think it's going to get worse? And by no means am I advocating the government getinvolved in health care. I could give two shits less. That's not what the government was created to do. I had government (military) healthcare and it sucked. I'd never advocate anything like that

and I personally think your abortion analogy is merit-less, but to each their own. I'm more comfortable with 60 million abortions than 60 million children that will never be adopted and struggle for food to survive. But I am really the wrong person to talk to about being pro-life. Sorry.

I think you missed the whole part of my post. Trying to decide if you are a troll....

Yeah...i see your points (i thought that was funny about the government healthcare)....but I really have read A LOT on Thomas Jefferson and he quoted "A government who runs the people is called Tyranny...but a people who run the government is called a Republic." I totally agree with that statement (I just love Thomas Jefferson)...i think that the government is getting to Big...I was against the first bail out Bush passed along....and I just don't believe that they should pay out anymore...and i hope they don't give out any more stimulus packages from the Government. Let me ask you a question just off the top of your head...because i just don't know how to answer this: What would you personally would like to see...another government stimulus package...or...do away with taxes(any in other words there would be no paying any kind of taxes for ONE year only.) I saw this panel on the news discussing this...and the justification on paying no taxes would be extra money into the consumer's pocket and they can either pay some of their own ( ... )

And i forgot to ask you this....are you noticing all the missiles with nuclear war heads being tested for long-range use?(Iran and North Korean ring a bell?) So what use is free health care going to do for people if we are blown off the face of this planet? And don't think for one second that can't happen. Obama is ignoring these dangerous situations from these countries. I can't remember ANY sitting President letting any country test nuclear weapons...not one. Obama has been President for about 9 months and Iran along with North Korea have tested missiles almost every week since Bush stepped down. If Obama doesn't admit the seriousness of Iran and North Korea and possibly some other countries...we are going to be in big trouble my friend. Maybe that is what is actually going to happen in 2012...we're wiped off the planet...and they will rule the world with bloodshed and torture. Won't that be nice......

um, when Bush was in office they tested weapons. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/05/16/korean_missile_test_in_iran/

I think you are just convoluting things. Health care reform does not have anything to do with nukes/missiles. No one has ever stated that is the case. Obama has a very impressive education background, whether you like him or not, dont' be fooled into thinking he's stupid.
