Public support for the bill that came out of the finance committee is low. If certain amendments, including a public option, are added then public support goes over 50%.

I'm against the current bill. (sm) - Nikki

It's nothing but a huge giveaway to the insurance companies. But as you say, if a public option is included, I will be in favor of it.

I'm surprised the number against it isn't larger, since it seems many Democrats AND Republicans are against it, albeit for different reasons.

don't buy into that stuff - Snow Bunny

Unless they poll every single person in this country, they can't make a blanket statement like that.

O'Keefe Documentary Claims To Uncover College Support Of ISIS Support ClubApr 02, 2015
So, I read on a friend's private conservative blog elsewhere that James O'Keefe, a conservative documentary filmmaker, had just "caught red-handed" some college administrators at a university in Florida who were "encouraging and supporting" ISIS supporters.  I like my friend, but, erm, I don't always agree with his politics and  I'm not so sure his assertion is actually the case on this one.  In fact, the blog author wrote his post based on his assumption on a ...

Dtr owed over 8,000 in child support now and the sperm donor apparently has no intention of working.  Child support enforcement will try to do "address verification" when we give them a new address but that's as far as that goes.  Has anyone ever tried one of those companies that are supposed to help get your back owed money for a percentage?  Do you know what the percentage is?   ...

Dilemma For Conservatives-- Support This?Apr 21, 2015
Typically I would have expected Conservatives to support men running around with guns and "practicing" military exercises.  The Jade Helm military exercises don't seem so clear-cut for them.  And, the conspiracy theorist connection with the Wal-Mart stores is pretty amusing.  Does anyone know personally (live in areas where these stores were closed) whether they are clearing out the stores of merchandise.  Many of the items will be "stale" after 6 months, (food prod ...
