The ONLY reason the Republicans aren't working with Obama. They are power hungry and could care less if they destroy this Country in the process. Then the Republcans bitch because Obama won't KowTow to them like they want Him to do.

LAR-
Do you accept that there are competing views as to ways to address most any problem?

Yes I do OohRah. What I have a royal bitch fit about is when Obama held out His hand towards the Republicans and they shunned Him post haste. They don't seem to want to work with Him from Jump Street.

Larry

In your view how did Obama hold out his hand to Reps?

He asked for their help in straightening out Americas problems and asked that we all work together towards that goal. The Republicans refused.

Larry

Stay with me on this now... so if LARRY thinks OOHRAH's views will "destroy the country"... how likely is LARRY to want to have me destroy the country? Would it be reasonable to assume LARRY will sit idly by and let disaster happen... whether he's in the Congressional majority or minority?

Conversely, if I think LARRY's agenda is destroying the country, why would you expect me to sit back and let that happen without offering opposition?

You seem to be saying, on the one hand, that there can be differing views... but on the other hand, that apparently conservatives must remain silent. Where am I wrong on that?

I would expect You to speak out against the policy that You have problems with. That being said I would find those declarations to not mean a whole hell of a lot considering the silence of the Republicans showed towards Dubya when He was screwing up the Country. Their grievances ring quite hollow. IMHO

Larry

I think I read the other day it had been back in April the last time Republicans were conferred with regarding healthcare proposals.

Obama and his team don't want anything to do with conservatism, except to pick off a couple of "moderate" Reps to provide political cover for his agenda.

They simply aren't interested in compromise. You know it and so do I.

Kinda hard to work with people who refuse to work with You on ANYTHING as the Republicans have shown their asses. I find that funny that You claim Democrats don't want anything to do with Conservatives but yet the defacto leader of the Republican Party Rush Limbaugh declared from the very begining that He wants Obama to fail. Doesn't seem like the Republicans are at all interested in working with Obama now does it OohRah??

Larry

Hey OohRah how would You feel towards Me if You asked for My help with something and I turned My back upon You?? Wouldn't You get tired of waiting on Me to act maturely and say well Fuck You then I'll do it Myself. Obama can't wait around forever on the Republicans can He??

Larry

Public posturing is one thing. It's window dressing... grandstanding.

What matters is what goes on behind the scenes to iron out reconcilable differences where possible. That takes a willingness on both sides to engage in discussion. Is there evidence of that sort of thing going on?

As I said, party line votes are nothing new. You do realize that, correct?

I understand all of that but when the Republicans refuse to even work with Obama right from the start how can Obama be expected to bend over for the Republicans to get them on board?? At some point Obama has to either shit or get off of the pot. He can't wait forever for the Republicans to get their acts together can He??

Larry

Health Care Reform will destroy AMerica??? You Sir are out of Your mind. How can You say Health Care will destroy America?? It will Save AMerica if it's passed. Too damned many people go bankrupt because of medical bills. That doesn't benefit America one little bit. See that's just it I don't get Yours and Rush's rationale to declare that to be a destroyer of America?????

Larry

And unrelated to the cost, why are you so willing for your congressman to give you a health care plan that he won't accept for himself and his own family? Do you think he is better than you? Don't debase yourself so, Larry.

Hey it's better than not having ANY Health Care Insurance coverage at all. But don't worry even if it gets passed I ain't taking it. There is no way in hell I am going to take a chance and have Eberly pay even one red cent for My health Care. Not in this lifetime.
