I think most people believe reform is necessary be it the public option or tort, but a few holding signs comparing Obama to Hitler and state that MA is anti is pretty silly.

Spence, if you looked at polls you'd see that it's not just a few Hitler sign toting crazies who aren't for the government reform as it's currently written. And I'd be willing to bet my paycheck that the woman with the idiotic sign voted for Obama in the presidential election. She doesn't strike me as a conservative person. Jim basically is saying that the current government HC reform proposal is not what the majority of citizens in MA want.

I think most people whether they're Republican, Democrat or Independent want some sort of change to healthcare. But most people don't want to see our government in charge of it. I think tort reform would be a good start, but with all the lawyers in politics it would go over like a fart in church.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
