don't worry, the smart will take care of the dumb, unwashed masses who ought to know better than to formulate an ignorant opinion.

Don't you think there is a difference between saying, "Healthcare reform is terrible, because of ... increased costs, etc."; and saying that the American people should actually pray that something happens to a Democratic Senator so they can't make the 1am vote on the bill? (as Sen. Tom Coburn from Oklahoma had the nerve to say on the Senate floor yesterday).

Big difference in "opinion" between those two in my eyes, and yeah, I think the personal attack is pretty much the sign of the ignorant.

Of course, there is a debate question there: the Senator's presumption that God is on his side

I just want to know how an almost bankrupt government that is most likely going to have to ask for money from bankrupt banks is going to pay for the "right for all Americans" to have health insurance. Tell me how this is going to work out.

And is the mandatory program is funded with the same cost ratios and income as the Senate federal program (works the same, on the same scale) so is directly applicable?

To me the post sounded like a pretty broad, "government involvement in healthcare sucks, look at Canada" kind of thing to me. Too general, not directly applicable.

I think if you are trying to make the argument, "as MA goes, so will go the entire country" under either the House or Senate healthcare reform you'll need a little more detail.

So rather than some secret agenda that Antitrust suspects I have , I figured it was just a good point, what's to debate about it?

You stated there is no connection. Obviously there is.

The way the Republicans went lock step just made it easier for 4 or 5 crooks to hold out for ransom. This is simply an example of parasites taking advantage of a situation. These people (Lieberman, Nelson, Landrieu) are simply self-centered human parasites. They are in the direct center because that's where they've realized they can get the most money, and attention. They actually don't believe in much(except for Lieberman being a shill for Israel.) JOE cares about Israel, and not much else.

Doesnt matter where you placed the number at. There will always be a few that play the system for personal gain.

some don't think about how the govt operates, college degrees notwithstanding. the govt has nothing without first taking it from someone. they play robin hood, taking from the haves to give to the have nots-while giving themselves a little along the way. problem is, you can only take so much from the haves, and then you have to start taking from the have a littles. at any rate, the govt gives NOTHING that didn't first belong to someone else. the govt makes no money, it's not a business. it shows no profits. a whole lot of people will be affected because the govt is attempting to cater to a segment of the population. the costs will become astronomical-meaning a huge tax increase to cover the gap.
the fed has outgrown itself by leaps and bounds. we all benefit from the interestate hwy system, the military. we won't all benefit from this garbage they're trying to pass.

sure, no one should ask for prayers that something happens.

as for the bolded, making generalized statements about having higher education, while saying others obviously aren't educated enough to think things thru (since they have a difference of opinion from you) in my opinion is a personal attack. it's calling people stupid without actually using that word.
