There is nothing stopping them from treating the poor without Medicaid.

Exactly! That's the good old charity the RW is always telling us will pay everyone's chemo bills.

Hey, let's all head on down to the Church of Christ for an MRI!

Wasn't there a tea partier that suggested paying your medical bills in chickens?

Not that it matters, this thread isn't about me or you, it's about hypocrite Bachman. Slam a program, only to participate in it.

Uhm, no, she didn't participate in it. Her husband did. But no matter. It's more important for you people to score political points than for the indigent to receive medical care. That's dehumanizing, sad and disgusting.

Yes, you're right! I think it was that freak from Nevada, right?

Well I can see why the Tea Partiers would argue for that. After all, they're a lot more likely to have chickens in the house than most people.

Save your crocodile tears. I remember you made a post about clearing the sidewalks of homeless people by water hosing them.

Right, because physical confrontations with people who literally have nothing to lose is a much better solution.

The husband's views are unknown; however, the politician's are public written statement; therefore, a basis exists to reasonably draw conclusive argument that many of their views are the same or very similar.

You'd have to stretch a country mile to reach that conclusion....
