The GOP's (or DNC's for that matter) website is the pinacle of meaningless rhetoric and the height of talent for verbally skating around political issues without making a real stand or being able to be pinned down for any one position.

If you still can't see what I mean then just stop for a second and go read the "mission statements" on the DNC or Obama's websites and tell me how concise and rational you think they are. Mmmm-k?
I made no claim that the best arguments are on that site or that they reflect my own. He specifically asked for the Republican position on the subject:

Is there a place online I can read a concise and rational list of reasons the Republicans oppose the current health care bill?
I even qualified my response with "different people are going to cite different arguments" in order to clarify further that the link represented the generic party position rather than individual positions which are obviously going to be more nuanced.

Fair enough. I'll be interested to learn where you are coming from when you have time to go into it.
