What if you're wrong? Will you cop to it?
If you support the legislation and it turns out not to improve things, will you cop to that?
If you oppose it and it does improve things, will you cop to that?
The reason I ask is that a lot of people here seem to become so entrenched in their positions that they can't change them even in the light of new information.
Big bonfire.

What a bunch of retards. There are a few good comments strewn in there - such as the dawning realization by some that this socialist nightmare is going to empower the IRS to give them each a yearly fisting - but then there are way too many idiotic comments like the following:

You have to believe in something to ever be anything but you also must keep an open mind as to what you believe in and change as needed.

There was a thread yesterday over there about how the progressive lefties may have to join forces with the TEA Party forces to fight this bill. They hate it for different reasons, but the objections are still there.

Even though there's a lot of conservatives who hate the idea of doing that, I think that this saying applies:
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Even if only temporarily.

More evidence (as if it were needed) that the left strictly adheres to a teleological ethic: the morality of an action is determined solely by its consequences. (Which is a bit ironic, given that so many of them seem not to even realize that their actions have consequences.)
The very notion that there could exist some moral compass other than utilitarianism, continues to elude them.
