I think this pretty much explains Republican thinking on health care - Brian Oct 12, 13:11 39
- and you know they want "faith healing" covered...as long as its only xian cause that's proven by the bible, none of this witchdockery -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 12, 13:17
- Good Republicans need to take back their party. Their leadership right now is despicable. -- nm - David Oct 12, 13:14 9
  - Or really, truly, start a new one. I think the groundwork is there for a lot of disenfranchised people (perhaps both Republican and Democratic party) - Kim Pine Oct 12, 13:19 8
    - All it takes is one very brave very viable candidate to take the first step out onto the limb. - Jim Oct 12, 13:23 5

        If Romney gets elected, there would be little change from Obama -- nm - amoxy Oct 12, 13:27 2
        
        other than signing into law all the bills a GOP congress would send to him -- nm - moles Oct 12, 13:40 1
        
        *ding* -- nm - znufrii Oct 12, 13:40
      - that's exactly it, you generally don't become (or will soon cease to be) a viable candidate if you're willing to do so. -- nm - znufrii Oct 12, 13:24
    - it may be easier than taking anything back, at least as things stand now. - b. Oct 12, 13:22 1
      - you and a lot of other people, for sure. -- nm - znufrii Oct 12, 13:23
- you know what? posts like this are why I stay away from talking about politics here as much as I can. it's beneath you, and beneath all of us. - b. Oct 12, 13:14 26
  - true, but they all vote as lock step as you can get, its rare any breaks rank - zeitgeist Oct 12, 13:21 5
    - oh, this is helpful. -- nm - loosilu Oct 12, 13:34
    - there's a segment that does, but not everyone. -- nm - b. Oct 12, 13:34 3
      - Yep, that segment is called the elected GOP. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 12, 13:37 2
        
        and that sucks as much as when most democrats cross lines only if they're in at-risk seats. I thought we were talking about regular people, though, - b. Oct 12, 13:43 1
        
        as if "regular people" matter in politics. -- nm - znufrii Oct 12, 13:44
  - Well that is the problem...The far right has taken over the agenda and this is all we hear -- nm - amoxy Oct 12, 13:16 19
    - but you know they don't speak for everyone, and you know, from ST alone if not beyond it, that many republicans are disgusted and disappointed by what - b. Oct 12, 13:17 18
      - I saw the GOP win historically huge numbers by being exactly against health care reform. - Will Hunting Oct 12, 13:23 4
        
        not all reform. the vast majority of americans on both sides (or all sides) have thought there needed to be reform. - b. Oct 12, 13:28 3
        
        Indeed. "against health care reform" is wholly wrong, and Will knows it. -- (link) - Dr.Johnny Vermin Oct 12, 13:33 2

        health insurance corporations are made up of individuals too, Jack. - znufrii Oct 12, 13:44
      - I get what you're saying. - znufrii Oct 12, 13:22 11
        
        I get that, but I don't get posting something like the above here, when it *has* to be known that - b. Oct 12, 13:31 10
        
        [deleted] 9

        I really did not get the impression from Brian's post that he was referring to any individuals. - loosilu Oct 12, 13:38 3
        
        Word. He frickin' copy/pasted from the article he linked to. Talk about a mountain out of a molehill here. nm -- nm - Jim Oct 12, 13:40 1
        
        awesome dismissiveness after I gave an explanation. -- nm - b. Oct 12, 13:46
        
        (ok, my IM is mistaken) -- nm - loosilu Oct 12, 13:39
        
        and perhaps, to help inspire those here who take exception to it to somehow try get their party to find better leaders. :) -- nm - znufrii Oct 12, 13:36

  - On second thought, if I'm Ellsbury, get me the eff out. - Will Hunting Oct 12, 13:10 8
    - he pouted at the training facility when he didn't get the diagnosis he wanted. - Mel Profit Oct 12, 13:12 6
      - Wasn't the diagnosis he got...wrong? - Will Hunting Oct 12, 13:16
      - that's because the Sawx med staff was wrong about his injuries and he knew his body wasn't right. can't blame him for that. -- nm - Diva Oct 12, 13:14 4
        
        competing diagnoses between Drs. Gill and Yocum yes. - Mel Profit Oct 12, 13:22 3
        
        based on the way he played this year I'd say taking the time to heal properly and not shagging flies in a chest wrap was a good idea. -- nm - Diva Oct 12, 13:27 2
        
        no one was going to make the poor dear play before he was ready. - Mel Profit Oct 12, 13:37 1
        
        they hung him out to dry with the media and the public eye when he insisted he was still injured. Respect is a 2-way street. - Diva Oct 12, 13:55

Atlanta Mayor gives Occupy Atlanta until Monday 5pm to vacate the park. -- nm - Qale Oct 12, 13:00 4
- oh, sure, that should work. -- nm - Andie Oct 12, 13:01 3
  - I'm guessing it means they will be allowed to start arresting people. -- nm - loosilu Oct 12, 13:02 2
    - yeah, i figured. -- nm - Andie Oct 12, 13:03
    - I believe they're allowed to start arresting them now, but this is the Mayor's idea of giving them some time to make their point before doing it. -- nm - Qale Oct 12, 13:03

- he's worried that if democracy and freedom comes to the USA then iran is next -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 12, 13:15
- They could very well understand it perfectly but are just using it to further their propaganda. -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 12:56 2
  - Yeah, that actually occurred to me. I hope they spend the next several decades just waiting for America to topple. -- nm - mara Oct 12, 12:59
  - I'm *shocked* at the suggestion Iran would consider such a thing... -- nm - znufrii Oct 12, 12:57
- besides the protesters themselves? :) -- nm - znufrii Oct 12, 12:56
Coincidence or clever dog? - ceregon Oct 12, 12:54 1

  - What was the song that drove Noriega out of the embassy in Panama? -- nm - loosilu Oct 12, 12:52 4
    - reading the wiki entry, it wasn't the music, though they apparently played I Fought the Law by The Clash for three days. -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 12:54 1
