I was hoping he would be assassinated before signing the Planned
Parenthood health care abortion bill.


Ah, there's those good ol' Christian values again, in full song.

Shouldn't we love good and hate evil?


Sure. But you don't get to murder people because you've decided they're
evil. In fact, there are plenty of people who think that people who
fantasize about killing people they don't like are *themselves* evil. If you
put your thoughts into action, and then apply the Roger rule, you die, too.

Should America have a health care bill that the majority don't want,
shoved down their throat for the political benefit of the President.


You're 10 hours behind the times, Roger. A USA Today/Gallup poll today
showed that 49% approved of the passage of the health care reform bill; 40%
oppose it. 48% describe it as a "good first step." Only 31% thought it
"makes the wrong type of changes."

Of course, if you'd really paid attention to the poll details over the past
few months, this would be no surprise. Substantial majorities have favored
the individual elements of the bill for a long time now. Now that it's
passed, they're giving their judgment on its passage.

Now we have more bad laws in this land just because Obama wants it.


That's nonsense. First, your judgment of what is good and bad is, at best,
based on a flimsy knowledge of the industry and what affects this bill will
have upon it. Mine is only a little better, having spent several years
working in the industry from the business side. It's a big, tough job to
figure it all out.

Second, it isn't just because Obama wants it. Roughly half of the people in
the country want it; many in the other half will, when they get more
comfortable with it and understand it better. It's like the poll today; now
that it's passed, it's no longer a big uncertainty. Now people can think
about what it means rather than what a mess politics has made of it.

Obama made special bribe deals with Democrats to get the votes he wanted,
he's buying votes with taxpayer money. I don't understand how you don't
have a problem with this.


That's politics. It happens all the time. If the Republicans weren't being
such pricks, playing the party-line game, and cared more about the people in
this country than the freaking insurance industry, the back room deals would
not have been necessary.

But then again, a woman having an abortion isn't killing a person but
someone killing a pregnant woman is charged with killing 2 people, and you
buy into that.


We've been over this before. I don't agree with your assessment or your
judgment of it.

If it isn't a person it isn't in either case, if it is person, it is in
both cases. The law has it both ways currently and they can't both be
right. If it is a person, as it is if someone kills a pregnant woman,
then all the abortions that have happened in this country is killing a
person.


Nonsense.
