- There really is a divide in this country, and interestingly, it lies a lot along the lines of the civil war. We have the yankee north vs. the conservative south. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
- Both sides of the debate were coached on certain talking points. Conservatives hit on fiscal responsibility and libertarian ideas. Liberals, almost to the one, talked about civil rights, discrimination, and individual emotional sob stories.
- Don't give statist and opening. There are legitimate problems with our health care system. Conservatives were content to let things sit because they are rich and unaffected, are in the pocket of lobbyist, and believe the free market system can do no wrong. Their inaction to tangle a group of real problems allowed the fascist crazy left wing socialist to appeal to emotionalism and launch their solution that is more about societal transformation than helping people who most democratic leaders wouldn't break bread with.
Well, the vote is a few minutes away. If the bill passes America will fragment along ideological lines even further. Problems with stability and our bond ratings also will come into play.
