Republicans and Health Care

[Redjack]

Green is okay but I don't do One-Issue parties. They make for fanatics.

Libertarians are worse than Rebs. Anyone who believes in a "free market system" as the panacea for what ails society is either crazy or misinformed.

Socialism can't work in the united states. it only works in small mono-ethnic countries.

Communism was crap from Day One.

Anarchy also, crap. Infantile crap.

I have no idea what a party would have to be to actually attract me. Not being shills for big business would be a plus though. Frankly I think we should do away with political parties. We have the technology now for there to be a One Person, One Vote, system at ALL levels. We don't need primaries OR political parties anymore.

Parties are brands, which make for easier marketing in a world of too much information.  The internet is like drinking from a firehose;  most people don't want to do all that comparison analysis.  "It's from Apple/Tyler Perry/the Republican Party, so it must be good".

Well, there's a hell of an insight to start the morning!
I reckon the same is true for media outlets. Most folks don't seek alternative points of view, just confirmation of their own views.

Free market system? You know I heard Ron Paul talk about that. I'm ashamed to say I really don't know what that is? 

As for Libertarians. You know I once took a test to see where on the political spectrum I lied on. It came out Democratic Libertarian ... but I don't remember any questions about 'free market system'

Isn't free market system Capitalism anyway ... or is it more?

I can agree with that.

QFT.  But on the same order of negotiating price with your doctor, such a system exists in Japan (negotiation, not barter) and costs are still lower than in the US.
