guess I do "need this shit" after all. I will try to stay civil.
With respect, Niki, this is a direct quote from Deb's post:
"From the conservatives here, what exactly is it that makes you mistrust health care reform so much?"
to answer Deb's question, I mistrust health care reform under Democrats. The elected officials we have right now do not represent my values. I know there is nothing I can do at this point; they have a super majority. Not one republican vote is needed. There should be no problems passing whatever they want.
As for the article, this is another article by a liberal telling us what conservatives think. That is illogical. Makes much more sense to read articles by Conservatives about what Conservatives think, doesn't it? I would recommend starting with Charles Krauthammer. They don't come any more brilliant than him.

Thank you, Jeannine... -- gg, 14:01:51 10/09/09 Fri [1]
wording is important, especially on a political board. It's one of the main reasons I don't elaborate much on my thoughts. Glad to see you back and would like to see Muppy back as well. I'll drop in not so often. Later...

I agree that wording is important. -- Jenn, 15:33:08 10/09/09 Fri [1]
I also think that we can choose to respond calmly.
We can give our fellow RT family members the benefit of the doubt.
We can ask for clarification instead of making assumptions.
I didn't think DizzyDeb meant that all conservatives shared one single viewpoint. I can see how it might not have been worded well, but I'd rather give my fellow board member the benefit of the doubt.

Unfortunately, I've read a lot worse here than my measly post, and really, no need to pontificate. I know you mean well, Jenn :-) Really, I do, you're a sweet person...the kind of person who has a rainbow around you with little birds chirping, butterflys fluttering excitedly about, and a baby deer smiling up at you. I sincerely mean that in the best way; there are few people in this world that exude that tranquility and sweetness, but you don't see them in D.C., though. Politics...well, is not all rosey posey.

I'm not talking politics. -- Jenn, 19:27:56 10/09/09 Fri [1]
I'm talking about this group of people on this board and how we get to make the choice as to how we react to one another.
I appreciate your comments on my sweetness, though please do not mistake that for naivety.
:o) J
