Nope. I've consistently said the majority of America don't have a clue, not because of either particular party.

What is the reason we don't want Obama Care. Obama can't convince us, maybe you and Spence can take your show on the road.
Because it's bad policy. As I have consistently stated, I'm against the current health care proposal. However, I'm also against the piss-poor way the GOP has been handling being in the opposition to the bill. My issue isn't with them being against the bill, it's in the misinformation and, in some cases, blatant lies that have been perpetuated by them.

Fair enough JD, but the mistruths are coming from both camps.

I agree. The Dems are trying to fluff bad policy to make it look better.

What I wish the GOP *could* say is that all American's having insurance isn't going to do anything to decrease the cost of HC to the average American. Unfortunately, comments like that would more than likely be political suicide for whoever made the comment.

so who is worse? the guys pushing crappy policy or the guys opposing crappy policy, you seem to have much more disdain for the guys opposing the crappy policy...why don't you focus on "your guys"? the "GOP" is in the minority, the "GOP" gets creamed daily in the mainstream media...it wasn't long ago when you guys were celebrating the death of the GOP and conservatism and now it's "well, I wish the GOP would...." ...talking in circles you are...
