You made your bed, now lie in it.
I believe that I've finally figured out what it will take to make the liberal proponents of Government Healthcare see things from the conservative side of the argument.
Before I show you my idea though, we need to get one thing straight... conservatives are not opposed to fixing the issues that need to be fixed (i.e. helping those that truly need the help with healthcare). What conservatives are opposed to is the eventual single payer, GOVERNMENT healthcare solution. Conservatives don't look to government as the first solution to every problem.
Liberals, you have a laser-like focus on passing this healthcare bill (by any means necessary). While you are focusing on that goal however, you are losing sight of something. It's the thing that makes conservatives realize that government is not the answer to our problems.
You are not going to be in power forever - even if the current congress tries to "deem" it so. Eventually (probably starting this November) you lose your grasp of power, and the Republicans will hold the reigns. When that happens, guess who will be in charge of your healthcare decisions if the current bill is made into law.
You feel safe now, when your party is in charge. Do you really think that the Democrats will always be in control of your day-to-day healthcare decisions? How would you have liked government healthcare if George Bush were in charge? How about Karl Rove? Dick Cheney? How would you feel with a medical rationing panel made up of Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and Ann Coulter?
Better yet, think of the two people on the political right that just make your blood boil and your mouths foam in anger? Now, think about this...
...how will you feel when, say in 2013, President Palin announces her appointment for Healthcare Czar?
If it comes to that, all we can say to you then is - you made your hospital bed, now lie in it.

Comments
Sadly, as in most commentary from the left...
There were two comments posted on this article but, as is the lefts usual tactic, the person had to use gay sexual references when talking about conservatives (a little projection on their part I'm guessing). Therefore, those comments were deleted. If you want to talk like an adult, then you may try commenting again.
I actually would love to have commentary here (in writing) that says the Dems AREN'T going to lose seats, and big time at that, in November. It will be fun to come back and look at when that time comes.
The comment's basic premise was that the party that will lose seats in November will be the Republican party that actually does what the majority of the American people want!! The people who will keep seats are the Dems that are passing out more and more favors (at the expense of everyone else's wallet) because they are creating an even bigger recipient class that will keep voting for the Dems, along with money from the rest of our wallets.
That logic seems pretty twisted to me.
Throw in the obligatory name calling, and that's the jist of the deleted comments.
