    Obama isn't anti-business, he's pro-government.

    Sadly it has become one but it shouldn't be one...it should be the keeper of the playing field not a competitor on it.

    (the government being a business is the main reason we have skyrocketing healthcare cost and higher education cost....shhhhhhhh people don't want to hear that)

    The government is great at what they do...pitting Americans against each other to distract.

    You can tell by who writes their officials about what they believe in.... if it takes work on the American public it wont happen they want Government to change it for us on their own....

    Just like your belief that Rommey would make the changes necessary.....I will make you a 1000 dollar bet right now. We will see 0 changes that will make a difference, in healthcare ...I mean a real difference, (not a repeal) A change in unemployment, a change in the war efforts, a greater foreign policy, any recovery in the debt,

    You on? if so we can make specifics what the bet should be placed on....But I do want the same standards y'all are holding Obama to

    If he can't make real difference than ole Barry has made a bigger mess of things then thought.

    I don't have a problem betting you a grand. The problem is we will never be able to set the playing field. For example, repealing a law that was crammed down our throats becasue the prez had a majority in both houses yet still had to make bribes to get it done is making a real difference.(SCOTUS may take care of it)

    Is getting unemployment under 8% making a real difference? Obama said he would and never has. Is passing a balanced budget a recovery from the debt? Obama hasn't passed one of those.

    You're right. But would a appeal really make a difference. The healthcare system is broken, what Obama did was nothing to fix the problem it was nothing about the insurance companies or who was uninsured

    But yet many of you like Romney because he ran a business. And many of you have said that experience is a huge plus in his ability to run the government.

    So, they can choose the government subsidized option...or pay for the superior private coverage they had been providing?

    If Obama can't make a real difference than (sic) ole (sic) Furious George has made a bigger mess of things then (sic) thought.

    Or does your logic only flow in one direction?

    I think the contention is it only made a decades old problem even worse.

    Exactly. Entirely their choice. If companies are as great as the right claims then it shouldn't be much of an issue.

    Not with Huzkurz. He literally is saying, if it doesn't get better under Romney, it's all Obama's fault. It's a nice preemptive strike. But boy does he get mad when anyone blames Bush.

    Reason #987 for needing a true middle of the road 3rd party.

    Force the government to offer a comparative plan at actual cost. I'd imagine business could manage a better price.
