Are you really defined by how you Vote?

It doesn't work with out getting Young Healthy individuals in the pool.

Come-on, everyone knows how insurance works ... and they'll find that out ... AGAIN, once Obamacare is Repealed.

Don't care how it works. :shrug: No one should be demanded by their government to buy a product that they do not want.


WAIT ...are you saying Politicians shouldn't dictate what people do with their bodies :lamo

Yes. Why? Is that a problem?
 
So I see a lot of Lefty, Righty, Liberal and Conservative and Broad Blanketing of Individuals and Groups.

So my question is, are you really how you Vote every 2 or 4 years?


Example: I'm more Progressive than Card-Carrying Liberal

  • So does this mean I'm Pro-Gay Right? Well kinda, but I'm more like, stay the f'ck outa my business and I'll stay outa yours.
  • So does this mean I'm anti-Gun? No, but I'm anti every idiot should have the right to own one.
  • So does this mean I'm Pro-Abortion? (see the first bullet point)
  • So does this mean I'm ant-cop? No, I'm just anti-stupid-cop
  • So does this mean I'm for Obamacare? I'm for my fellow Poor-American getting the same life-saving Healthcare that I get and the Politicians get; and I don't mind paying extra for it, after all, I've been paying for The F-22 for most of my adult life and that f'cker hardly ever leaves the ground.
  • So does this mean I'm for BLMs? :mrgreen: F'ck yea ... just because it pisses off people.


:mrgreen: Let'R Ripppp

What about those of us who don't want to piss anybody off?

As for blanket characterizations of entire groups, once you begin to recognize individuals as just that--unique individuals who happen to be part of a group--it's much more difficult to stereotype. ;)

Yes. Why? Is that a problem?

So if you chose to not have it, do you have a right to get medical treatment in the event of an emergency?


... and why are Republicans Known for dictating what Women do with their bodies?

Yep.

I'm not a Republican. :shrug: I'm Independent. I base my decisions on the issues at hand, not on political ideology. And I'm fully pro-choice on a political stance. So if you were thinking that I'm republican...I'm obviously not. ;) Think you may have fell for your own trap that you were talking about in your OP?
 
It's the Role of The Federal Governemtn to protect and care for it's poor, if it doesn't who will?

Can you point out in the US Constitution where it defines the role of government to be caretakers of the poor?

I don't need Government Healthcare, I don't need Medicare, I don't need Social Security... so if I don't need it, does that mean no one should get it?

Get it from you?



What are we, Americans or just Selfish, Self-absorbed people who only care about themselves, or their narrow group, while pretending to be Exceptionable Americans.


Your America sucks. My America is quite generous, charitable, and has empathy.... You can pretend to be anything you want.



Exceptionable at what? Being Selfish


Be the change you seek in others.

"right"? You cannot bestow a "right" on someone if you force someone else to perform to meet that "right".
 
Yep.

No I just thought your phrase was ironic ... ;)

I'm a pragmatic progressive who has lost's of family and friends who live in those gosh darn Socialist Countries where they don't have to worry about Education, Vacations, Pay, Healthcare and Basic family care. It's completely embarrassing and hypocritical when I travel and have to come up with excuses on why America is Exceptional when the world has their own eyes and ears and can see for themselves.

Where in the Constitution does it say I have to pay for an F-22 for most of my Adult Live, but I need to be against Healthcare for my fellow Americans?


... and I am the change for me an my family ... I the Owner and I employ others and I lead by example.
My America is Real and my America Cares for Fellow Americans, Immigrants and doesn't leave them to fend for themselves.

You can have your America, because it's one it's way out anyway.


... I have conference calls ... Later/

NEXT!

America is exceptional in quite a few ways. And unexceptional in others. No other country in the world has the same Rights that we do. For example I don't know of any country out there that protects Freedom of Speech like we do here in the US. I also don't know of any country that has the 2nd Amendment Right to bear arms to the extent that we do.

Of course what is and isn't "exceptional" is completely subjective. Your exceptional may be my unexceptional and visa versa. Just depends on ones POV.
 
Then we're in agreement ... because I keep hearing from some people that they have a God Given Right to have one, and I say, my God thinks different.

There's in no Law that will prevent a behavior, they are meant to make us safer ... just like Laws won't stop Abortion either.

FACT ... Violent Crime is lower than it was decades ago, it's just gets more press now.

You're a progressive and I'm a conservative and we agree? Wow, that's fantastic.

Strawman... you avoided my question.

you said "It's the Role of The Federal Governemtn to protect and care for it's poor."

I said "show me in the US Constitution". it's a pretty straight forward exchange here.

... and I am the change for me an my family ... I the Owner and I employ others and I lead by example.

You only care for them via taxation and other peoples money.

recent elections suggest your Generation #snowflake America is on it's way out. but that's none of my business. ;)

okie dokie.

I would like to think America First, meant All American's First ... Right, Left or Center ... we all get Sick, and we'll all need Heathcare.

Those are the FACTS! ... now the question is, are American's worthy or not of the same Healthcare as the Politicians in Washington?

You have my answer, it's not important that you except it.

I was right up there in criticizing Congress when they exempted themselves from Obamacare. Even signed a petition in favor of a law that one of the Reps (can't remember which one) tried to get a law passed making Congress critters subject to Obamacare also. So my answer to your question is obvious.

But I'm wondering...what does this post of yours have to do with what you quoted from me?

Like you said, subjective.

I'm dying to see what happens to 20 Million Americans who Subjectively lose their Helthcare.

I look ar it this way, Republicans OWN it now ... and they can't blame Democrats.

Do like we did before. Buy it.
 
Having a viable third party in the U.S. would be like adding a third pole to the planet, and many people's heads would explode.

I've never voted for a candidate who 100% encompasses all my beliefs. It's just never going to happen.

More facts...We all get hungry and need food. We all get cold and need clothing. We all need shelter and need a home. These are all basic human requirements even before we need healthcare. Where does the responsibility of the individual stop and the responsibility of the government begin?

Oh fine. The Democrats force this POS legislation down our throats which is imploding before our eyes, costing us millions of $ and now you say, well the onus is on you Republicans to fix it and if you don't it's all your fault, don't blame us Democrats, and by the way, we're going to do everything we can to oppose your every efforts.

Since we don't have much say individually (as in none) as to who our choices are, then no you are not necessarily defined by your vote. One thing I learned the hard way is not to early vote. I did it one year and the Congressional candidate I voted for went full on retard right afterwards hoping to create some poll momentum. He did, but not the way he wanted. He went from slightly behind to getting thrashed almost 70-30. I would never own up to voting for him after that.
