[quote="Guest"][quote="Publius Clodius Pulcher"]Of course we should all not even consider the constitution. Who cares if the governments involvement in health care directly contradicts it? Mandating that someone has to have health care and that the internal revenue service can come after you if you don't have the coverage the government says you must have sound completely constitutional to me. Sarcasm intended[/quote] It is constitutional. To argue it is not is silly. I think the question is do you want the status quo, where the uninsured clog emergency rooms and don't pay their bills or an alternative. The problem with the alternative was that there was no attempt by republicans to participate. Therefore, you end up with a bill that catered entirely to democratic interest groups. If there had been republican participation, there would have been better cost control, tort reform, and an increase use of medical savings accounts. But the republicans chose not to fight for the parts of healthcare reform they believed in, but to obstruct. I don't blame the dems for this I blame the repubs. Personally I think employer based healthcare is critically flawed and should be dumped. Neither party has done anything about this. Finally if we look at healthcare cost it really began to spiral in about 1998. My gripe is we had an 8 year republican administration that did nothing. If you hate what the democrats have done, I won't chastise you they it is a flawed law. but I will ask you why did the repubs do nothing for 8 years?[/quote]

That is why Buckley could make a good living arguing with liberals. They could both agree on the facts of the matter. The current right wing trying to make arguments using the Federalist papers, don't understand the documents or the era in which they were written to make coherent arguments. <br /> <br />You have thankfully cleared up my somewhat muddy thought process. I guess I am calling for a sort of right wing elitism because while I may disagree with there conclusions, I can at least argue with there logic. <br /> <br />With the current tea party, it seems we are speaking different languages.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Fri, Sep 24 2010, 1:18 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: New healthcare benefits for Cranbury residents start tomorrow</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Guest wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Guest wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Guest wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Publius Clodius Pulcher wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">Of course we should all not even consider the constitution.
