how to defeat a republican on any issue whatsoever: ask them what their alternative is.

a silence will follow as they will be unable to talk about how they hate that uppity obama fellow who is ruining america.

Many Republicans reportedly plan to make criticism of the ACA a centerpiece of their midterm election campaigns, and the approach shows promise. 2014 election preferences have tightened essentially to a dead heat, with 47 percent of registered voters now supporting the Democratic candidate in their congressional district vs. 45 percent for the Republican.

But if it is working then what will the Republicans have?
ACA is wholly owned by the Dems. If it fails, there will be many tears by apologetic Dems as they are shown the door back to the private sector. If ACA succeeds, it will be a major success for the Dems and I expect quite a few Republicans will be shown the door.

For Haggard to be a hypocrite, he would have had to...

1) Eloped with a man to a state where gay marriage is legal and became married to said gay man in a ceremony he kept secret.

2) Told everyone that he was a perfect being and had never committed a sin.

3) Tried to adopt a child with a gay co-adoptor (I know that isnt a word, but I bush'd it). Also, he could have tried to assist a gay couple adopt a child.

If you produce evidence he did any of this, I will join in with you in denouncing him as a hypocrite. Until then, he is just another human being that fell short of the glory of God.
That is quite the contortion.

All that is necessary for complete hypocrisy is to preach that homosexual acts are sin while practicing homosexual acts. Oops.

what we already do?

OK.

keep fighting the cold war, ya old shit. i'm sure someone somewhere appreciates it.
I'm not an economist but I would say our model now is cronyism more than capitalism. Corporate welfare =/= free market economy.

We subsidize the energy market, the food market, the banking market, the auto sector (unionized portion), the housing market, the stock market, the defense sector etc.

My suggestion would be to stop doing that. Unfortunately, these polysci/lawyers that seek power over others can't help themselves, they know more than we do. We've also become so partisan we ignore the stupid shit our team does and focus on piddly shit the other team does (or make up shit, doesn't really matter, it's the other team).

When over 40% of the population relies on government for their paycheck, I don't think we qualify anymore as a truly capitalist society. This is double the amount B.R. (before Reagan).

Welp, so were you wanting to have a discussion on milk subsidies and why they are good or bad? If 8 bucks reflected the true cost I wouldn't complain at all. I pretty much only drink milk in my coffee and prefer almond milk. My emotions regarding the price of milk are irrelevant anyway.

I have a feeling the reason your go to move of insulting people instead of having a discussion is because you have a serious inferiority complex. It may be well deserved and recognized though, you may not really be bright enough to have an actual debate so it's all you have, but bright enough to know how handicapped you are.

If that's the case, I apologize for trying to engage you. Feel free to attack away, I'll know what you are trying to tell me and I'll stop asking all these hard questions.

THAT'S FUNNY CONSIDERING HOW LOUDLY YOU RIGHT WINGERS COMPLAIN WHENEVER ANY PRICE GOES UP UNDER OBAMA FOR ANY REASON.

YOU'LL HAVE TO EXCUSE ME FOR NOT BELIEVING YOU AND ENJOYING A HEARTY AUGH AT YOUR EXPENSE.

MY ERECTION HAS BEEN RESTORED.

By the silence on the ACA lately by the right

That might be a good thing. You going to claim the same thing when it is popular or will you start reciting the fact it was a Republican Idea?
