Is Arizona the nation's capital for hate, anger, rhetoric and vitriol?

[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 949172, member: 60724"] Les, The mudslinging seems about equal from both sides, to me. When do we as a country of voters DEMAND that or elected officials "take the high road", get past all this BS and start representing us? I've been following the healthcare reform repeal. Do most American's want the Obama version of healthcare reform? Nope. Do most Americans want some form of healthcare reform? Yep! The problem with this country and our system is that when two sides can't get along, and consistenly challenge the other rather than work together, what you get is really stupid programs and laws that either go overboard or are so watered down with concessions and pork that they miss the mark. IMHO, it would have been better to simply increase the medicare ranks (who is eligible for medicare) than to go down the road of Obama's plan. Would have been less costly, or so it seems to me. That, and an oversight committee lead by (ex?) doctors, not hospitals, and definately not insurance companies, tasked with cutting costs and streamling care would be another good start. Whenever you have a BIG problem, the most oft way to make it worse is to try to come up with a BIG solution. Big problems more often than not require a more gradual, measured attack. Either that, or TRULY blow everything up and start over. As bad as our healthcare problem is (and it is pretty bad, but I submit mostly due to an entitlement attitude within America), it isn't that bad. Healthcare isn't an entitlement. Poor people get healthcare. No one is allowed to die on the street. Rich people get better healthcare. Don't like that, well then you better work harder to become richer. In America, that is still possible...last time I checked! TJR [/QUOTE]
