Just keep it straight.

Hate for the right reason.

As far as your interpretation of the event, you are looking at it through the eyes of a leftie.

I get it.
Once you start throwing out names like leftie, or repubtard it let's everyone know you are just a partisian hack drinking the kool-aid and regurgitating propaganda fed to you by whatever political machine that reinforces your own inner prejudices. That makes you a useful tool to whatever special interest, corporate or union, that are selling out the citizens of this country for their own greed. Good job!!!

It might cost millions! Could you please help me ..... those nice conservative boys on TV said that churches would pay for our health care after Medicare had been sold off."

Pastor Bob, looking through the pictures of new SUVs at the local car dealership: "Hmmmm? What were you saying, Ellen? Oh yeah, you need a few million in health care ...... heh, sure, whatever ..... I'll have to get back to you on that later. Hey, do you think a Red Yukon Denali would be too flashy for a preacher?"
And then she walks right out to vote republican. "i hate that Muslim socialist pastor. Im a good tea party girl".

You can't argue facts with people who have no use for them.

Really, where does it end?
This really is getting old. No one has said "free".

BTW, we do have food stamps, and clothing banks.

That may be the opinion of Tea Party types, but probably not the nation in general.

Why is that?

The President wants people to die until then?

"Hold on folks! Hang in there until it's politically expedient to get coverage!"

GOP Tea Party Debate: Audience Cheers, Says Society Should Let Uninsured Patient Die
That is just crazy!!! We should instead do what Obama says and give old people pain pills for whatever is wrong with them until they kill over. Why spend a few thousand $$$ on a surgery to extend their lives when it only cost a few bucks a month for some vicodin so we can just zonk them out til they drop. They've already lived long enough anyway. Also, we can cut costs of govt healthcare by shutting down the surgeons who like amputating limbs just to make a few bucks. Another great Obama idea.

As for kids with asthma, no more emergency room according to Dr. Obama. Just give them a breathalyzer and see if they are drunk instead! Problem solved!
