What a SURPRISE!

Ex,

Don't confuse opposition to the several bills floating around out there with going with our collectively guts.

It is checks and balances; it is fear of government monopoly (the worst kind of monopoly).

You are correct that no ones knows what the bill will ultimately look like at this point; many of us are reacting to bits and pieces from various bills; that doesn't mean we can't form our own opinions and be very scared of the government killing the quality of health care.

GM: It is was too simplistic to think that without Obama, GM would shutter all of its plants, not make cars, fire all of its employees, go completely out of business. That hardly ever happens, especially not to manufacturers who still make a relevant product.

Again, government does require something more of its citizens than going with their guts; the Constitution is a good place to start (and end). It is a tremendous testament to the past and the future; you would do well to understand it better than you do right now; you would honor the American's who have spilled their blood protecting it and you and your family; you would be able to forget about "liberal" and "conservative", "democrat" and "republican" labels; you could rise above it all. Learn about the foundation of our Republic and you will feel much better about your understanding of your ancestors, and how to apply the lessons that they tried to teach us...
