Either way, both sides have their weirdos. Most normal people are in the middle somewhere.

Your absolutely correct Fr8monkey. The thing is - a poll "inspired" by a book named "wingnuts" is going to come up with the results its "inspired" to - which was my point to the OP. If you go out with the intent to find the crazies, you will find them - regardless of the side.

Australia has public health care and so do most Euro nations.

I think it's nice that a person can get life saving surgery even if they can't afford it. It's about time America joined the civilised world.

Might want to get off the drink sir. No one here will turn away anyone needing medical help and or surgery. Hippocratic oath! In fact, my wifes aunt required a colostomy bag installed as she had a fistual. She had no insurance. Her bill....$795.00. Keep in mind this bag was with her for over 6 months and she was under a doctors care until her intestines were healed and could handle waste product normally.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colostomy

Furthermore my father was an ER physician for 40 years. He did not care one rats arse if anyone showing up had insurance or not. He attended to what they needed being from the common cold to life threatening problems.

The travesty here is even folks with insurance can get into financial ruins from medical problems. Throwing a sh!t load of money at the root cause(care costs run amuck) does not cure the problem. Healthcare needs a overhaul it reducing overall costs. Has anyone given a good explanation as to why every year the cost keep going up in leaps and bounds?

Your going to see more and more of this type of thing as the media attempts to paint those opposed to the health care legislation as 'dangerous', 'radical', and nut jobs.

While I admitt there are nut jobs out there they are a vast minority and dont really help the cause. But the press will do everything in their power to make them seem so.

Remember the bricks through DNC office windows?

Of course there has been threats already. FBI involved now. Par for the course for every President/Congress.

No I dont recall there being anything of this magnitude before. Then again the sensationalist media kind of blow things out of scale.

The Dems are whining and trying to get sympathy when what is going on is THEIR fault, but it is just like a Liberal to blame someone else, no personal responsibility.Seems the Dems really have lost touch and fail to realize that Americans are not docile people who just bend over and take it.We may put up with many things but this is pretty much it, the line in the sand.Now I do not personally want any lawmakers to be harmed but if someone was angry and tossed a rock through a socialist, excuse me Democratic office, I am not going to lose any sleep over it.The American people were stupaked(betrayed) by the Dems because they blindly follow Obama and now must accept responsibility for their actions.Again, Liberals do not believe in personal responsibility but they may just learn if not before then definitely in November.

You know, if the Dem bill had simply been this....no denial for pre existing conditions, children in college can stay on family policy until 26, no dropping when you get sick, tort reform(and I plan to be a lawyer, heading to Law School in the Fall, but will admit it's outrageous they money people get over small errors) allowing insurance to be purchased across state lines and few other things.This would have been a bill that I prob would have supported but like always the Dems had to go too far with the taxes, spending, govt subsidies and oh yea, going against the constitution with the mandate and fines.They go too far because they blindly follow Obama and he has his agenda and some have the agenda he does but most are just sheep, no matter what the people want, potential dictator syndrome

Now, so what if some people made some angry calls.I was one of them, I have more class than to curse etc but my message was not friendly.Some regular Americans in their anger(have the right to be) called elected officials who have forgotten who they work for and told them off, so what? Personally, I would not leave messages like you have heard on TV but so what if others did, we were "stupakd" after all

Thats interesting, especially as you say you are going to work in law, which you have described as a collection of meaningless documents drawn up by liberals.
So these angry people who you claim have a right to be angry, what right do they have to make threats including death threats.
What does the annoying little thing called law say about that?

Obama's foreign relations...

What did he expect after giving America a very public big F.U. the other week.

No, I get my news from various sources and my arguments are my own.I have been a Conservative since High School simply because I think for myself and believe in the Constitution and believe in things like self reliance, small government, freedom, liberty etc not welfare and "social justice" and all that bs, so I never subscribed to Liberal nonsense that has slithered into our society and can for the most part be linked to a whole host of problems.

Do you get your news from other venues besides MSNBC or CNN? Someone else besides Olberman, Schulz or that trash Maddow? I watch them all reguarly to get all sides and see who is most fair and no doubt some will contend this but on the actual news programs, not shows that are there for commentary, Fox News is overall fair and is the most fair of them all.Most of their commentators are fair though.O'Reilly is fair, Hannity is fair most of the time.When I have watched Beck he is fair, he goes after both sides but sees how dangerous the Left is right now.Limbaugh is a good conservative and is popular, thus why the Left hates him.Same reason they hate Beck.
