Reagan may not have been perfect, but we always knew where he stood: That in most areas of concern, Government was the problem not the solution.
The Reagan Administration, on the subject of Health Care and Federal policy, seriously considered closing down the Federal Department (then) of Health, Education & Welfare. Had our position been a little stronger in the Congress, they would have.
If you are suggesting that vastly expanding Medicare is not a complete reversal of what had been the Conservative Republican policy from FDR, through LBJ's ramming Medicare through Congress in 1965, up until the present Republican Administration, you will be denying a lot of political history. Why not just admit that you, as an individual, do not share the same values as those of us to whom this is an outrage. Why can't we at least have a frank exchange of opinions, and not mask that exchange by suggesting that those of us who believe the Constitution should be respected, who believe in economy not waste in Government, who believe in individual not collective responsibility for individual needs, are somehow being alamists, or hysterical.
If you want to honestly debate the issues, we will accommodate you, with courtesy and respect. If you insist on casting ad hominem slurs, by comparing us to unnamed alarmists, you will also get an appropriate response.

Why can't we at least have a frank exchange of opinions, and not mask that exchange by suggesting that those of us... are somehow being alamists, or hysterical.
Please read with better comprehension skills. That would help "the frank exchange of opinions" most of all.
My point was very clear. I'm sick and tired of the whiners who always threaten to take their ball and go home, and in doing so helping the enemy. And those who just perpetually whine/criticize everyone.
