Woe unto the US health insurance industry. Boo hoo, I'm sad for them now.

More people are employed by the "health insurance industry" than 10 Detroits.

Now it's our turn.
Spend the $800 Billion on health care and be done with it.

An $800 Billion War: The Immense Cost of Invading Iraq, in Charts - The Atlantic

At current health care spending levels, that will last roughly... 4 months.

Go for it!

What are you even talking about? You act like healthcare is free. It's not. People pay for it.

Not in this country, just with the cons.

You have been successfully brainwashed by Faux News, Limbaugh and Frank Luntz. There is no point in my debating the issue with you. I hope you don't live in one of those states that sucks out more money from Federal taxes than what it pays in because that would also make you a hypocrite.

How was the invasion of Iraq defending the country? How was allowing Osama bin Laden to escape to Pakistan defending the country? As I said, useless to debate with you as I see where your head is at and I have more important things to do...such as laundry.

I never once said Republicans were off the hook for the wars, nor do I consider them a failure. If its such a failure then why arent the lefties out there protesting at all of the wars Obama is taking part in, including the very same wars?

The issue is that while you were not drafted and sent to fight in Iraq... You're demanding we endure the misery your stupidity will force upon us.

haha, you mean those states like Alaska, which sells the us government oil, and thus it gets counted by the left as "sucking" more money from the federal govenrment than they pay?

Its completely astounding to me that you guys arent embarassed by the completely stupid things that you actually read and believe, while at the same time accuse others of being brainwashed..
