Mr. Miller, I would caution your characterization on two points.

First, the republicans have to have an idea of how to replace. Example, what would you like to do in place of this healthcare plan. The republican leadership has yet to formulate or communicate this plan. Since the republican candidate for president passed a similiar law for his state as governor, it leaves him open to hypocracy charges when he comes out against this plan. The only thing I hear is free market and tort reform. Which only points out that there is still work to do.

Secondly, beware what you wish for. Given that the progressives of the left were pushing for a single payer program, it may be that the current middle ground is the best first step.

Yes, I’ve encountered the ‘BOZO’ Pub. It’s real easy to follow the trolls and spew derogatory insults upon those who are or were our Presidents. And calling fellow Americans “Leftist, communistic socialist scumbag democrats” Is an insult to the Nation.. Seeing your neighbor as an enemy hasn’t occurred since the civil war. By your explanation, I see that you aren’t using these names as an insult toward anybody and as such I wouldn’t want to accuse just from words alone so I apologize if I took your post in the wrong context but at the time you left me no choice.. I find it hateful of others to disrespect the title of President.. Disagree? Fine, hate the man? What the hell for? Slur our ELECTED leader? NADA! anyway, it just hit me the wrong way and I appreciate your explanation and apologize for any misunderstanding. Vote your choice, but for goodness sake Vote..

Thank you for your Service to our country, I also am a veteran with Army Infantry, including the Persian Gulf War. You are right that you have the right to say anything you will. I was suggesting that your key points would be focused upon by many, if you avoided the name calling, and denegrating of a particular individual’s beliefs.

It was a suggestion, that you can disregard, as it appears you will.

I would point out that those individuals that only recently became citizens have the same right. It does not take four generations or military service to “earn” the right.

As for the “Mormon” religion I will take you up on the idea that we can agree to disagree. You are right that Jesus was not “Milk Toast”. Since this is a thread about healthcare, I’ll leave the defense of my beliefs to a more appropriate venue.

The OBOZO name was in reference to OBOZOMUSTGO — a poster on many threads here on the Memo board. President Obama deserves the respect that any in his office deserve. If you look at various posts I have made, I doubt that I refer to any president, even President George W Bush, whom I had many more disagreements with his policies than the current administration, as anything other than thier proper title.

Also, I have not determined for whom I will cast my ballot. Thanks for your input, so that I might correct any misconception that arose.

I am glad you can go along with the comments on the NO BID Bush Administration, Because it is true.
As to beliefs and statements of beliefs, WILLARD can believe what he wants to believe that is his right in this country. I can SAY whatever I want about it, that is MY right in this country. 4 years active USMC service and at least 4 generations deep in this country means
I was born with the 1st Amendment rights and also earned them. That being said we can agree to disagree peacefully. Just as I do with Bill Maher. I don’t care for what he says, as an aethist, but I agree with him on many points politically.
As for your defending LDS….please read what the BIBLE has to say, in particular the 23rd chapter of Matthew. Jesus wasn’t “milk toast”. He often offended the “righteous” because they knew RELIGION but they did not know GOD….that is Mormonism in a nut shell. I appreciate your honesty. Give more creedence to the BIBLE and no creedence to the book of mormon and you may still be saved, all you have to do is Ask.

Well I’m not Alfred but we’re not talking ‘profit’.. We’re talking PROFITS!! And it’s as simple as that.. There’s profit which every businessman (or woman) deserves, but when that profit exceeds morality then it becomes an uncontrollable monster.. In my company we have a semi-annual meeting every year.. each year we edge up the profit margin but never say we’re doing good, only.. “We need to do better!” How much is too much profit? When it takes the place of civil humanity. Look at the oil companies.. Record profits ever year (into the billions) yet each year they hold their hands out for those governmental subsidies.. When does profit become obscene? THAT’S what were raging about and you say, “The better the profit, the happier we are” well, that only applies to a small group of fat cats.. I can not understand why any common citizen would advocate for these types of users. First they grunge for more profits then REFUSE to pay the going tax rate, always finding loop holes (that normal workers can’t touch) to bring them down to chicken feed in comparison to their profit margin.. If a middle American has to pay 35% on his hundred grand a year salary, why is it so different for the millionaire? No! Don’t tell me, it’ll only make less sense.

If all that be true then simply don’t buy their overpriced insurance.. Let ‘em fold like other businesses when they view profit over product. I sure as hell won’t miss ‘em. You think the insurance rates will go up BECAUSE of Obama care? Explain what made them raise their rates sometime twice a year before we got this into the mix.. These money grubbers will raise rates regardless of what’s been passed.. Their blood suckers and need to go away like the dinosaurs they are.

“I have yet to determine which candidate I will vote for”

… He declared just before he called the current president, ‘OBOZO’.. Sounds like name calling is a selective choice as well for you Pubs.. Your name calling alone shows us exactly who your willing to vote for.. Let’s see: “Former Governor Mitt Romney” VS “OBOZO”.. Seems straight forward to me.

Well tit for tat, yin for yang.. Let’s all just wallow in the sty and blow morality like an over bloated bean fart.. Everybody believes Church and State should not mix yet this is all we talk about in political circles. Does everyone not understand the reason why this philosophy should be adhered to? I couldn’t care less what their affiliation is so long as they do their presidential duties without religious overtones.
