Why would you want the same with health reform? I did not like the Patriot Act in the very beginning and like it even less now. Do I want that with something that affects my every day life?

I did not like the Patriot Act in the very beginning and like it even less now. Do I want that with something that affects my every day life?

We can work out something of course I can never make any sort of deal which would even acknowledge there is any validity to the right to kill innocent children. Even though I am confident that I would not have to "pay up", just the making the deal would imply a moral equality of the positions. I can accept a moral equality in health care reform (or 1000 other issues) because the rank and file people who want universal government mandated care are doing it for the best of reasons. It is a moral ideal to take of the sick. People who want to achieve better care through free market means likewise are looking for ways to better the system and insure free access to the system, individual choice, and better technological improvements. I can see both sides of the argument. What may be more fun is a favorable profile of the candidate. If she gets above 40%, then you highlight her strengths on DP, If she does not, I tell why Beau is great on DL. We have plenty of time to work this out.

As we begin the 9th year of war, US casualties are increasing by the mon...th. There is no military solution in Afghan. President Obama must figure out another way to deal with this. And here's a local action this Tuesday in Wilmington: WHO: Healthcare for America Now Coalition WHAT: We will form a circle using crime scene tape with our victims in the middle chanting, "It’s a crime to deny care” “Do not deny people health Coverage" "No Coverage No Life". WHERE: 800 Delaware Ave. Wilmington WHEN: October 6, 2009 Time: 12: pm Let's rally with June in spirit and with the health care insurance reform activist by showing up and shouting a bit, unless the 'kewl kids' just don't do that sort of thing. Here’s a local activist for you:

He has created the lowest of low expectations - and everyone seems to think, "Well, that is Carper being Carper." Also - Charlie Copeland is a regular genius isn't he?
