Personally I think all Obamacare should begin Tuesday for everyone. These delays hurt.

I would negotiate, all Obamacare in place with no exceptions or favoritism. Now.

And give them the money.

“Tao” is bullshit to this Flyover FReeper.
Say it plain, or expect to “Tao” alone.

Tao (translated as way/path/doctrine/principle) is the asian philosophy/religion which, according to wikipedia, is considered to have ineffable qualities that prevent it from being defined or expressed in words. It can, however, be known or experienced, and its principles can be followed or practiced.

I use this foreign term precisely because that is how the Republican party is. The Republican platform is a definition which doesn't fit because there are 'ineffable qualities' that prevent it from being defined; it is why Romney, though he be exactly like Obama in every major political way, is better. It is why you need to vote for the Republican, the "lesser of two evils", even when there is no practical difference between the Republican and Democrat candidates. It is why Snowden is a traitor [not a hero] because he revealed that the Federal government was violating Constitutional bounds. — it is why they must always be on the losing side of things.

There's also some irony in using a foreign term to describe the "patriotic" party; and let's admit it, they are just as American as Tao is. — Do they take responsibility? No. Do they care about Justice? No. Do they care about the law? Nope. [If they did they would care about the Constitution and thus: Fast and Furious, the IRS scandal, the NSA scandal (which touches on the 1st, 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendments), the plethora of contraconstitutional agencies, and so on.) To take Superman's 'tagline', they care nothing for Truth, Justice, and the American Way.

Face it: you are more foreign to them than the Chinese, or the Iranians, or the Syrians, or even Mexicans. Why?
Because you believe that the Constitution is more than just a bunch of words; because you believe there are limits on government authority/power; because you believe that government is not you master.

Or am I wrong?

Thank you. The video (all six parts) was visually compelling and very informative.

I never argued any point other than the fact that the democrats hold everyone in contempt including their own voters. And they do.
