Well I would hope you would understand why, yourself. Having universal health care just gives a government, which will always be full of error, more control of your money. It is absolutely dangerous and will force even more taxes on people, which probably won't be worth it because I doubt the universal health care system will be good.

I went to the emergency room once because I was dehydrated and couldn't keep water down. They gave me an IV tube full of saline and I was fine.
That cost me $2000. As a student I could not afford that. You think a guy with three kids and a wife can afford something like angioplasty or cat scans every three months to monitor his degenerative muscular disease? Universal Health care is a ****ty idea when you're healthy. Otherwise, its the only thing keeping your ass out of the red. When a society refuses to put the good health and prosperity of its citizens first, then there is no reason to defend that society and no reason to put any work into it at all.

Pretty much the same goes for all your comments. You make statements which you've plainly done put no research or genuine thought into because they're so wildly retarded and you provide no evidence to back up your assertions. |

I don't consider myself a pure conservative, although like a lot of the other people on this board I am an independent, I have a kind of centrist attitude towards most policies.
One thing I do share with conservatives, though, is an occasion disdain for liberal viewpoints. I don't support the war in iraq but there are other issues where I fall on the right-wing side. Unfortunately, most independent organizations are under liberal control, for example, Unity08. They want to elect a centrist ticket with one republican and one democrat, which is an interesting proposition. However, they also have a website where you can rank the importance of socio-political issues -- unity08.com/issues (couldn't make it a live link). As you can see, energy independence is the top issue. I don't disagree that it's an issue, but the top issue? I wish that more independent conservatives would get involved in these things rather than toeing the GOP party line, but that's just me. |

I'm a social liberal and fiscal conservative. For the most part. and I really don't want to get involved with this, but I can't let such statements as "universal health care rulz" to go unchallenged, so I'm just going to quote myself from another board. Quote:
