If the election were held today, who would you vote for?

Now explain how Obama is kicking butt in this poll?

Because a lot of liberals vote for the same old people and expect different results. It just shows that 13 people on here really either have no clue or dont' care what is happening to this country.

And yes Chris Christie should be on this list. I think he would have the most conservative votes if he was an option. I think he is becoming a force and many candidates who are working hard on their state say they are not running for President so people take them serious for what they are doing at home. I have a feeling he will be convinced to run.

Sorry, I added Allen Keys and the poll went back to 0. So you'll need to vote again.

Charlie Christi?

A new poll and no Chris Christie? I still hold me vote back for him. And why Charlie Crist? He won't be in politics again.

And you need to put a couple of other options in there because I noticed that everytime you add a new person it wipes out the previous results.

What other options?

I just put in a couple of Other options in case I need to add a couple later. Not sure why all the votes get wiped out when you add a new name or option.

And you seriously need to add Chris Christie. I still think he will become a major player and run in 2012.

Nor is the mandate the only common ground between RomneyCare and ObamaCare; the Massachusetts plan that Romney signed into law in 2006 is essentially the blueprint for Obama's plan. Both rely on the same basic formula: a requirement that everyone purchase insurance and government assistance for those who can't afford it.

One of many reasons why I DON'T like Romney regardless of the R.

The Obamanation healthcare plan requires you PURCHASE one every year. If I get free healthcare from my friend, who is a doc...that doesn't count. I have to purchase insurance.

I believe it will be found to be unconstitutional....

You are not required to purchase health insurance every year. For example, your employer may very well provide it. Under the Militia Act of 1792, failure to have the commodities resulted in imprisonment or worse.

So under your theory, it is the fact that you have to purchase it every year makes it unconstitutional? The health care bill does not require you to PURCHASE health insurance every year. It requires that you have health care insurance, similar to the requirement that the citizens in 1792 have the specified commodities. You can pay monthly, you can pay in advance, you can obtain through your employer, you can meet one of the exemptions to opt out, or you can opt out of the purchase of health insurance by simply paying the modest tax.

There is a long line of Supreme Court cases that provide that Congress can enact legislation requiring the payment of taxes to provide benefits to individual citizens, whether it be Social Security, Medicare, unemployment, and on and on.

Pineguy, a turd circling the bowl would be a step up from what we got now.
