1. My opinion is that the ACA is the single most important piece of social legislation of my lifetime.

No, wait. That isn't my opinion -- It is a fact.

I've read posts by DUers trying to tear it down for the last six years, and frankly I've found their arguments to be unconvincing. No, wait, that's not quite right. The truth is that I've found their anti-ACA crusade to be wrong-headed and maybe even a little offensive. I get that many of them are motivated by a desire for single-payer. I am also myself a supporter of single-payer. But I think wishing for the Affordable Care Act to fail is about the worst possible way to fight for single-payer. In fact, I think they are playing into the hands of Republicans who want the whole thing repealed. We sure as hell aren't going to get single-payer if the ACA is killed. More than likely we'd end up back with the shitty system we had before -- or something even worse.

And, thanks to steve for asking..

Hosts can only lock OPs for being against the Statement of Purpose for the forum. Starry Messenger Mar 2014 #246

Don't agree at all, since the OP was a former mod. Starry Messenger Mar 2014 #257

It can be about your big toe, if you want it to be. NYC_SKP Mar 2014 #352

I asked you what it was about and you said Will Pitt. Gormy Cuss Mar 2014 #377

So your response is that everyone else is doing it? wakemeupwhenitsover Mar 2014 #341

No, I don't know that it's true that you laid back. wakemeupwhenitsover Mar 2014 #402

So you're taking the word of CreekDog in a stalkerish reply about PMs he's sent me. NYC_SKP Mar 2014 #336

If I've got this right, your complaint is that I'm taking his word that you called him honey? wakemeupwhenitsover Mar 2014 #340

I called him "honey". And, please note, DU2 ended like two years ago. Hello? NYC_SKP Mar 2014 #342

I love the way you keep moving the goal post. wakemeupwhenitsover Mar 2014 #343

First, DON'T call me "honey", Second, DON'T insinuate that I'm lying when I make this request CreekDog Mar 2014 #357

Imma gonna do my best to never call you honey again, sweetie. Oh please forgive me. NYC_SKP Mar 2014 #359

Yeah well not that I want that PM but you never sent it CreekDog Mar 2014 #369

I've never initiated a PM exchange with you. I know that you'll admit this. NYC_SKP Mar 2014 #372

maybe i should just send some dude named "Larry" to meet up with you CreekDog Mar 2014 #373

he's trying to make me out to be a liar even though he did call me that in his message to me CreekDog Mar 2014 #354

I have never called you a liar and you refuse my invitation to have a cocktail. NYC_SKP Mar 2014 #358

she's taking my word because my word is true: CreekDog Mar 2014 #353

I'd be happy to call some friends to look in on you. NYC_SKP Mar 2014 #360

And you can quit the stalky threats too CreekDog Mar 2014 #361

Every single PM exchange we have had had been initiated by you, CreekDog. NYC_SKP Mar 2014 #362

i know you don't have time CreekDog Mar 2014 #366

Does this mean that our plans for getting together won't happen??? NYC_SKP Mar 2014 #367

well, since Skippy is calling my PM "stalkerish" I think we should all read it: CreekDog Mar 2014 #356

If you don't want to be called stalkerish, stop acting stalkerish. Skip Intro Mar 2014 #363

i understand that you followed me here, dug into a hundreds-long thread CreekDog Mar 2014 #365

Honey, I wish you wouldn't talk to Skip Intro this way. NYC_SKP Mar 2014 #370

oh? what should i say to him after he accuses me of stalking? CreekDog Mar 2014 #371

I think we would just send him off to play ball with Wally. NYC_SKP Mar 2014 #374

I think it's a crush. NYC_SKP Mar 2014 #368

He seems to have a lot of crushes. pintobean Mar 2014 #375

if only Skip Intro and Pintobean were my "toadies" CreekDog Mar 2014 #376

Calling him honey, offering to have friends in the Castro look in on him, now the crush reference. Gormy Cuss Mar 2014 #378
