So, Let me get this straight...

Post by Col Hogan »

We are going to be gifted with a health care plan that we are forced to purchase, and fined if we don’t, signed by a president who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that’s broke.”

Where's the part about the guy who's single platform point is to run against this Healthcare Plan
Which is the EXACT same plan he oversaw and implemented in his last job

They must have left that part out of the Fox News spreadsheet

Yes, indeed, good point on the page count. I always use double line spacing, 1.1 inch margins, 12.5 arial font and adjust the character spacing.

It's gotta be tough for conks, knowing that 1) deep down they will be voting for someone who is politically very similar to Obama which means 2) either Obama ain't no pinkosociocommielib or they happen to be more of one than they think.

If they're 50% the same but one can get more done wouldn't you vote for them? I'm no Romney fan, but I've watched the Obamadrama unfold for the last 4 yrs and he hasn't convinced me that he can get it done. With another candidate nipping at his heels he's suddenly got all new plans for his next four years....seems like if he had the answers they'd already be implemented.

Good points. Ultimately I think it's the party's that lack the answers/abilities. That's why I won't vote either party.

Ditto for me. I will not vote for either party of either of their dreadful candidates.

So it sounds like Johnson won last night to me..?
Even though I didn't watch the debate - technically I couldn't - I already know these three things

1) The candidates are 85% identical
2) Obama Care and Romney Care are 85% identical
3) See points one and two

And don't believe anybody who tells you Romney was a sh!tty Governor

Romney never said it was the exact same plan...

And even IF it was the exact same plan a state govt doing something in one state is entirely different than the fed doing it in all 50 states.

So wait, now you've gone from they are the exact same plan to they are 85% identical. What are you going to claim next? That they are 50% identical?
