Ever notice that Conservatives practically become bleeding heart liberals when an issue affects a friends or family?
Oh..and I look forward to another "neg" from this poster. Complete with the sweet little message he leaves behind.
Care to share that with the listening audience, Ghook93? Or do you just want to keep that private..
The differnence is Sallow that when something traumatic does effect someone close it is not my first instinct to run to government and tell them it's their problem to fix.
Michael Medved said it prefectly when liberals compare providing welfare vs helping the people of Haiti.
We like to help the helpless (such as person who gets paralysised or the elderly), but we shouldn't help the hopeless (an able person that can work but choose not to, a drug addict etc)!
Many people who fall into the American Healthcare Black Hole (as the three I described above) usually fall into the helpless category!
I am wary of UHC because I have been programed to as an American, but I look at some other developed countries and you don't see rioting in the streets or an overally upset middle to upper class and three perfect examples have extremely thriving economies.
Germany, Canada and Israel are great examples. Germany is has a very successful exporting economy. Israel is known to have the best doctors in the world. And I have yet to meet one of our Northern Neighbors (from all income levels) that preferred our system vs theirs. Check out Canada's economy its pretty damn impressive!
Well, apparently GHook is a conservative, not a Conservative. A couple of the best Governors that Oregon ever had were conservative Republicans. Some of the most ridiculous candidates that we have ever had, like Bill Sizemore, were Conservative Republicans.
