Most are willing to enter the debate, and give a measure of ground. Hence Romneycare. *NM* Dan Send a noteboard - 02/09/2012 10:40:21 PM
So what if the argument is that Obama and his ilk want to extend the benefits and the security that said public sector douchebags get to everyone? Would it be possible, financially? Would the help businesses, or embolden entrepreneurs? There have been some recent studies that IQ and general intellect jumps when you don't have to worry about the lower ends of the good old hierarchy of needs.

It nominally supports those goals, but insists the private sector more than adequately ensures them to those willing to work, without letting those unwilling exploit the system, therefore government has little or no role, because it only enables the latter groups indolence.

The debate is legitimate, but how common is the position you describe even among the New England contingent of a national GOP to which it is anathema?

Nope, it drives us crazy because it's an out-of-context fragment quote - 01/09/2012 07:01:24 PM 657 Views

Ok, I'll put this very naively. - 02/09/2012 12:36:33 AM 1056 Views
In fairness to rt, that sounds a lot like a welfare state, which is pretty antithetical to the GOP. - 02/09/2012 07:10:47 PM 731 Views
