    that is your opinion, friend, but I am being far more sensible about this than you or KLuke. the thing is barely off the ground and you guys already are ready to scrap it before we even have a chance to see if it works in practice. how that relates to him "shredding" me is laughable. you act as though my willingness to give the law a chance is somehow a radical notion that equates to jumping off a cliff or falling prey to the Kool-Aid line at a cult convention. However, your unwillingness to allow the law time is indicative of a radical opinion, especially when so-called liberals like Red and I are openly stating that we favor revision where it is necessary.

    why? because you say so? furthermore, his entire final argument was predicated on two things: his experience and insider information as a project manager and Robert Gibbs sunday morning rant about the ACA website roll out. his credentials as a project manager are meaningless because the second point about Robert Gibbs used carefully selected quotes to mischaracterize Gibbs position. I pointed that out in my rebuttal but I suppose facts like that don't matter to you. KLuke used Gibbs use of the phrase "Data Architecture," to extrapolate meaning to a larger argument: that the entire law was flawed because of the flawed website rollout. KLuke believes this will mean further IT issues down the road. This is wishful thinking at this point since we've had very little problems since the initial fuck up.

    Let me also point out that the government was forced into creating an online website to act as a market place for those states where GOP governors elected not to set up health care market places for their citizens. This fact is too often lost in this argument but is actually one of the more relevant points.

    nothing personal to the guy, like I said before it sounds like he is very accomplished in his respective field. that said, his profession is irrelevant as it pertains to this argument.

    I'll give you this: the thought of someone's business card reading "whopper flopper" just below their name made me laugh.

    not many titles could work for a fast food kitchen worker or a male gigolo but that is one of them.
