your so right! The private sector is sooooo much more trustworthy than our government.

Well actually based on the previous two elections why should they even worry? The American people are completely lost. When the midterms come up and all they will have to do is start blaming republicans for the healthcare debacle and these fools will lap it up like gravy. They must sit around laughing at how completely ignorant folks are. Now the supremes rule you don't even have to show proof of citizenship to vote. High fives must have been going up in democrat offices all over country. Meanwhile the country continues to burn.

So in effect, Don, the democratic "plan" is no plan at all and no strategy? I would believe it, given the performance of this administration.

The "running of mouths" that you refer to are the hard choices that Americans would have to make in order to restore personal and governmental responsibility and accountability. Given the choice of "party until you drop" and free government handouts, of course the 47% are going to choose the handouts. This behavior, of course, leads the nation to ruin.

Leading the nation to ruin, it appears, IS the democratic "plan".

open borders
lower incomes
higher unemployment
more foodstamps
lower personal wealth
less personal freedom
more government involvement in personal lives

To all of those who crave the misery of the Gulag, the democrats are paving the way to Nirvana.

Anyone that still believes that Republicans are the 'party of small government' are simply deluding themselves.

Liberals can't wrap their brains around why Conservatives often vote against their best interests. It's that we understand this and don't necessarily vote for what's best for us, but what we feel is best for the nation.

The difference is, we have the option to take our business elsewhere when a private business shows themselves to be crooked or untrustworthy. The government does not afford us that option.
