Hello John,   
      
    BK>> Some on the right hold to the view   
    BK>> the govt should do nothing to help the sick.   
      
    JM>> Show quotes of two GoP Leaders saying we should do nothing   
    JM>> to help the sick.   
      
    BK>> Very weak counter. I don't have any access to the Koch brothers,   
    BK>> or Limbaugh or Hannity etc. So I can't tell you what republican   
    BK>> leaders say, but I didn't say "leaders". As John Boehner has   
    BK>> learned, the back benchers are aggressive and narrow enough to   
    BK>> make the so called leaders dance to their tune.   
      
    BK>> I said some on the right, and you have expressed just that sort   
    BK>> of view. Bob Ackley is another. That's two.   
      
   JM>That's a crock of shit and you know it. I have never said we   
   JM>should do nothing to help the sick. I just don't want to help   
   JM>them the way YOU say I should.   
      
   My solution would be to make everything free.  You and others might   
   not agree with that solution.  But at least I have a solution.  What   
   is your solution?  Or do you have a solution?  Hmmm...   
      
   The point is, saying you are against Obama is not a solution.  And   
   that is exactly what Mitt Romney is trying to do.  As a result, nobody   
   knows what Mitt Romney is for.  And nobody has reason to vote for him.   
      
   As a strategy, I think it is stupid for a candidate to do that.   
   Saying you are against something (or someone) without offering an   
   alternative solution is not a winning strategy.  "I will repeal   
   Obamacare" is not enough.  A candidate would have to offer his   
   own solution (or an alternative solution) in addition to such a   
   statement.
