ORIGINAL: ThatDamnedPanda First of all, I should make clear that I'm pretty much in agreement with you as far as this bill is concerned. The reason I question their character is because I'm judging them in a larger context than that one video and that one incident. The republicans have fought every aspect of health care reform right from square one, forcing the dems to strip out almost everything that would have made it a good and effective bill, offering absolutely no sincere alternative proposals or constructive involvement, making no attempt whatsoever to compromise or contribute, and some of them have openly admitted they were doing it because they felt that the best way to cripple the Obama presidency was to defeat health care. It's not simply a question of them opposing this bill - they have fought tooth and nail to prevent any health care reform at all, or to at least damage it to the point where it causes real harm to tens of millions of innocent citizens, and for no other reason than party ideology. That's evil. That's corrupt. That's nothing short of a crime against humanity and a betrayal of both their country and their vows of office, and that's why I question their morality. This video is just a snapshot of one brief moment in their year-long fight to strengthen their party by harming the people who elected them, and their piously beseeching their "god" to help them in that cause is sickening to me. The blanket, false, and down right ridiculousness of just what is highlighted is extraordinary, and speaks so loudly for itself that just highlighting them is enough. i won't even bother to comment on the 2nd paragraph. All i can say is just WOW. As conservative as i am...i have NEVER, and COULD never, bring myself to, in good conscience, condemn ALL liberals. i am just happy there are decent, and fair minded folks out there of ALL parties. I don't know why you found it so ridiculous. Out of 177 Republican members of the House exactly one voted for the health care reform bill and exactly zero Republican members of the Senate voted for their version. Do you think these fair-minded folks were acting on their consciences or were other motives present? Good luck getting an answer out of her on that. I'm still waiting for her to explain just exactly how my pointing out that the republicans fought the bill was somehow an attack on all conservatives. The discussion's taken a rather strange turn.
