[Trust but Verify]

I'm not happy with this bill at all, but I'll crawl through broken glass to make sure a Democrat doesn't get elected next year. Some you win, some you lose.

Sorry but I have to disagree. It's legislation like this that made me want to keep democRATS out of office. This is nothing more than socialized medicine. I am very disapointed in the Republican congress and President.

[Howlin]

Agreed.

Grow up. There's no difference between them. (Except for Hillary; that's pure evil.)

Bush screws over the country's health care system and so-called "conservatives" just shrug it off simply because it was a Republican who signed the bill rather than a Democrat? So much for "working to roll back decades of governmental largesse."

I'm with you. The way this bill has been painted, I don't like it either, but I've got to wonder it must be good in the long run or it wouldn't have gotten so much resistance from the DemocRATS. There's something in there that we don't know about the has Ted "Splash" Kennedy up in arms. Whatever it is has GOT to be good.

Either way, like you, I refuse to do ANYTHING that will in the smallest way help a RAT win this time or ANYTIME.

...Some you win, some you lose....

I agree with your sentiment.

And, if Delay, Bush, Frist, and Cheney are for it I'm in. The analysis as provided above is too simplistic. The world is ending! The world is ending! Norwood Dingle! 100,000 new cops!

The real facts are that people who get prescription medicine need less surgury and hospital care. So, it should be covered. Further, the average senior pays $600 for prescription medicine per year. This bill requires all participating seniors to pay roughly $600 in premiums.

Further, Medicare is broken and will collapse causing great misery. The only useful reform is to bring competition (a thing that 50% of Congress cannot stand - read the Rats). A compassionate conservative cannot stand by and let people suffer. Sorry, it's not a secret.

This bill was a great compromise and I'm impressed that they got it to pass. This took some stones. Would I like the rats in the country to join in helping or at least provide constructive criticism? Yes. But, they won't even agree on something as simple as preventing terrorists from killing their children.

People need to have a little faith. And do a little more work before flying off the handle. The Press won't report the truth and you won't get it by reading internet chat boards.

If conservatives can't trust Bush, Cheney, Frist, and Delay, then start stocking the beans away now.

Ditto that. Couldn't have said it better.
