March 3, 20223 yr 58 minutes ago, JohnSnowsHair said: Obamacare was based on a Republican plan that retained private healthcare insurers as an alternative to a single payer type plan like Hillarycare. The Massachusetts plan was based on the same I believe. It was only when Democrats settled on a plan that retained the private insurance market and abandoned single-payer as politically infeasible for the ACA that Republicans decided even their plan was too "socialist" or whatever. Remember how the GOP tried to sell us on Death Panels and waiting lines. They got that wrong in a big way, but won't admit it.

March 3, 20223 yr 10 minutes ago, Outlaw said: Valid point. Same...though he's getting up there himself. Agreed. I'd like some youth (meaning 50-65 lol) as well. A valid point as well. Over Trump? Absofreakinglutely. In the general. You can understand his frustrations, remember?
March 3, 20223 yr 1 minute ago, JohnSnowsHair said: No. Who are some of the R candidates you could get behind besides Romney? 1 minute ago, we_gotta_believe said: In the general. You can understand his frustrations, remember? Out of the R choices available as possibilities, there’s not exactly a stellar list.

March 3, 20223 yr 2 minutes ago, we_gotta_believe said: Yeah we know, plus you like that he follows CDC guidelines. No, I like that he’s anti-mask period. Now that restrictions are loosened do you feel you still see a high % of use in public? They’re essentially non-existent up here in the burbs. People are over it, and have been for a while. Just needed the gubbment to tell them it’s ok.

They’re essentially non-existent up here in the burbs. People are over it. Oh ok, so which FL county do you think he was in when you claimed he was following the revised CDC guidance?

March 3, 20223 yr Just now, we_gotta_believe said: Oh ok, so which FL county do you think he was in when you claimed he was following the revised CDC guidance? The point is he didn’t even give a F about it before the restrictions changed. You think he cares now? Assuming he was at USF main campus I think that’s in Tampa.
March 3, 20223 yr Just now, Outlaw said: The point is he didn’t even give a F about it before the restrictions changed. You think he cares now? Assuming he was at USF main campus I think that’s in Tampa. Eh, I thought DeSantis was a good means to end Trump. Now I don't think it's worth it.

March 3, 20223 yr 1 minute ago, we_gotta_believe said: And which level is that county currently in per the map I posted? You really need to exercise nuance in this. Of course that county has a lot of COVID. The stripper to person ratio is like 3:1 in Tampa.

March 3, 20223 yr 19 minutes ago, JohnSnowsHair said: No. In seriousness, I do worry about the prominent young republicans more or less being raging shitheads like DeSantis while people like Cheney and Romney getting pushed out. I don't have faith in someone not crappy getting the nomination in 2024. Here's hoping I'm wrong. Better candidates are always a good option, even if it's not on my "side".

Still would take him over Trump. 14 minutes ago, we_gotta_believe said: And which level is that county currently in per the map I posted? Oh JFC dude. You win. You’re right. I’m wrong. I concede the point. Now, go whack off all over your keyboard or whatever it is you do after you treat every interaction on here like a damn debate team match and you "score a point.” *Brought to you by the Rubio for Prez 2024 coalition.

He's blaming the victim. If Russia isn't planning invasions the entry of former satellite states into NATO shouldn't matter to Russia. That's like a supposedly reformed thief getting angry at his neighbors for installing security systems.
