CTB--shot you a reply at bottom of first page. No response?

I mean, come on: we were scheduled to start Obamacare on 1 Oct; but when it starts, you can't use the websites to get signed up. Businesses are still scrambling to figure things out. Individuals are still in the dark about what they're supposed to do, or what their benefits truly are. Months...

Would you agree that there are those who don't fully understand the ACA, and need assistance with it?

So it's okay for the president to modify a law that was passed by Congress? So how does it look when a president uses his authority and his allies in Congress to push through a law, and then turn around and, without consulting Congress, exempt parts of the very law he pushed to have passed...

You're absolutely correct: it's perception. And the Democrats are doing everything they can to ensure that the public has the perception that the Republicans are at fault. How else do you explain the president's statement that he won't consider negotiating until the Republicans fund the...

To echo the previous two posters: Are we not our brothers' keeper? Should we not bear the infirmities of the weaker?

Of course they are. Just as they did with sequestration.

You misunderstand, my friend; Clinton will be shocked if Obamacare doesn't end up making the American public so angry that we demand a better system, and subsequently get the government health system that they really wanted us to get all along. So naturally Clinton will be shocked if it doesn't...

Abortion has been legal for 40 years. Do you as a Christian accept the murder of unborn human beings?

Gina, thanks for bringing this one up. I was going to give a reply that would have been facetious/sarcastic, and then say something about how this would be challenged against the fourth amendment; but the wording of the military part stopped me cold. If a woman is pregnant, and someone living in...

Seeing as this failed the humor test, should this thread be moved to the Politics forum?....

Shucks, Rev; the way they've acted in this whole affair, I don't think half the GOP wants to keep the GOP alive....

It was reported that Gina's home state, Oklahoma, will have 53 exchanges that people can choose between. Their payment, after subsidies, will range from $175-$250/month. My step-nieces, who live in Oklahoma, still believe they're going to get their healthcare 100% free.

Where I disagree with you -- even Democrats are voting to hold off on obamacare. Are they afraid of the Tea Party republicans? Where I agree with you -- I believe that the actions of the Republicans in the senate have more than proven your statement and that we already have a one-party system.

Not that different at all. The law was enacted 4 years ago...and our president has subsequently said that we don't need to follow some of it. How can we take a "law" seriously when its leading proponent won't even fully follow it?

CTB, I know you probably have me on ignore...but seriously. Seriously. The House Republicans have said "let's fund the government." They don't want the country to fail. What they've said is, "let's look at this healthcare thing one more time." Even the president is now admitting that it's...

The Dems screamed about sequestration, and the administration predicted the end of civilization as we know it (okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit), but we're still chugging away. Now, ask me again on Tuesday if I don't get my retirement or VA disability checks. No, scratch that; ask me...

Just a comment: we should be careful about how we use the phrase I bolded. It tends to lead people to believe they aren't responsible for their actions or their spiritual well-being. It isn't our fault; we can always blame the demons. Or, as Flip Wilson used to say, "the devil made me do it."

Hooah, Sergeant. We were called to judge righteously.

So what was the point of this thread?
