Ok, I'll bite. Republic is the form of government Guaranteed by the Constitution. Even under Obama's rules, when the Alabama government was elected, we gave them free reign to do whatever they want to do without considering public opinion.

Can we try to keep the current discussion to atleast the 50 topics already open?
Health Care Bill was passed by a majority of both houses of Congress. It is hard to say that a majority of American people are against it, just because a couple dozen tea bags showed up.

Guess we'll see in November. I expect Alabama, that I love, will embarrass us again. But the rest of the nation will do the right thing.

Yea, I see California doing the right thing, they seem to do it year in and year out. *Sarcasm*

You can always move on to Miss. if you wish. Personally I am going to stick around and see what these no-guts Liberals do to us old retired people who are full of attitude and fed up up with Minority Mediocracy.
I really do pray you hard working,I am never going to get sick, taxpaying,independent, country boys can survive, hard workers, never get cancer,or lose your jobs. Because the insurance you thought you had, may not be that good. That was my experience. At least under this socialist's plan , if you lose a job you could keep your insurance. But, let us repeal that bad idea before it helps anyone, cause I don't happen to need it yet.

I apologize for not being a great typist. It was funny, I am LMAOROTF. I could not get a conservative arts degree....do not believe they have one. Minority Mediocrcy??? Get use to it .

It's not hard at all to say the majority of American people are against it, take a look at any of the polls. While you're there take a look at Obamas approval polls.

If I lose my job, I can 'keep' my current insurance as well. It's called COBRA...and it is EXPENSIVE if forced to go that route. Those praising Obamacare have their collective heads buried in the ground...or elsewhere...if they think it is going to be 'affordable'.
One week after the House of Representatives passed the health care plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats, 54% of the nation's likely voters still favor repealing the new law. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 42% oppose repeal.

Americans are now about evenly split in their reactions to the healthcare bill's passage: 47% consider it a good thing and 50% a bad thing.

Looks like they are changing their mind one week later. The trend is following Obamas approval ratings. It's all downhill from here.

Catch-all anecdotes don't really mean anything. Sometimes, history changing events are opposed because they are radical, but good, ideas that people are slow to embrace. Other times, they are opposed because they are bad, but people eventually become complacent.
St. Troy Soon-to-be-divorced King has wasted enough money. The state is broke because the landowners do not want to pay taxes on their "farmland" and "hunt preserves," much less on productive land.

How much did he spend keeping us safe from the in state sale of "marital aids?"

Let the other AGs who are up for reelection press their claims. He can write a big long amicus curae in both Law French as well as Latin and claim himself as a co-opponent and win here in Alabamastan.

"Fightin' Troy King: Keeping Alabamastan safe from marital aids fer 8 years!"

I disagree. It will go down as one of the worst things to ever happen to our country.

According to the recent Gallup poll, 49% think it is a good thing. I guess you are reading Fox News polls.

When is 49% the majority? If congress only had 49%, it wouldn't have passed.
Now I shall not pander and claim Troy to be a card carrying member of Friends of Dorothy, but . . . his very heavy set wife is fed up with him. He also has as his "own Roy Cohn without the legal knowledge or ability to be outrageous" one "special assistant" whose only known qualification was that he was a recent college graduate and Mr. Troy State, over $50K a year for a 25 year old "Personal Cohn."

Add in the vitriol, the prissiness, and let one draw their own conclusions. To be frank, in my opinion, he acts like a bitter old drag queen who has been not selected as the "Grand Duchess" at the Cotillion, people being able to only stand so much of his never-ending Cher impersonation. In short, "Methinks the lady AG doth protest too much."

Top 10 Anti-Gay Activists Caught Being Gay (look's who #1)

http://www.ranker.com/list/top...ght-being-gay/joanne


What does this have to do with anything on this topic?


Well any other time, the mere fact of someone being gay would make them completely unfit for office... at least according to the beliefs of most of the people on this forum. I suppose it doesn't apply if you have an R next to your name though, huh?
quote:
The Bush tax cuts for the wealthy were (should) shoved down our throats, but Democrats were not ready to cesceed from the Union.


Aside from the fact taxes were cut for all, since when could one group's "tax cuts" be something shoved down the throat of another groups? In other words, what is the moral justification whereby any person has the "right" to a percentage of another person's production and labor? Exactly what new expense were poorer people expected to bear as a result of tax cuts to the wealthy?

The "health care bill" establishes a great many new taxes and costs on a large proportion of the population. This is a direct seizure of money, earned by people at all levels of income, to be redistributed to those who did not earn. Besides, the whole debate over "health care reform" completely misses the real problem in health care which is costs rising to such a high level that most people would agree insurance to be a necessity. THIS is what we SHOULD be addressing!

Further, supposed "reform" as was just passed will only have the effect of further exacerbating tensions among perceived "group rights". I believe Walter Williams (professor of economics at George Mason University) said it best in an article he released yesterday:

quote:
The prime feature of political decision-making is that it's a zero-sum game. One person's gain is of necessity another person's loss.


And further:

quote:
The greater the number of decisions made in the political arena, the greater the potential for conflict.


I would have thought the "housing bubble" should have taught most Americans what happens when government steps in and attempts to direct the "demand" of consumers. Just like Peter Schiff warned, all that supposed wealth in real estate turned out to be phony, as we are seeing now that the "bubble" has burst. In other words, those ridiculously over priced home values are starting to come back down to more rational and sustainable levels.

Why does anyone expect a "government induced demand" in health care to turn out any differently? It would do us all well to at least accept the fact that the laws of economics are as immutable as the laws of gravity.
