I thought liberals were citizens of the world.

Of course illegals should be covered - they are citizens of the world.

What is it about the word "Universal" you do not understand?

Try to give a serious response someday.

I'll answer the question you asked earlier about democracy. I believe that Obama won the election, and now we all have to live with our decision. I don't know if it's possible to start a recall campaign for the President, but if it is, then I encourage you to go for it and see how far you get with it.

why when people bring up their opinions that they disagree with this president it is blamed on the talk show hosts? maybe we have minds of our own and have done research. you people better stop pointing fingers and read the facts before it is too late!

MY version?

You mean where people vote for our Elected Employees in public offices, and if your candidate didn't win, you put up with it until the next election cycle and bother your own Elected Employees to do their job better?

THAT kind of Demcoracy, like everyone else participates in?

MY candidate indeed didn't win, he wasn't even officially running.

Still wrote Ron Paul on my ballot, though.

So, now it's time to answer MY question. Why do you hate democracy? Bamers has not broken any laws nor committed treason. He has simply not done anything to generate an Article of Impeachment.

Say, you wouldn't be a Republican, would you? You remember, don't you, that the only thing attempting to remove Slick Willie from office did was waste tax payer funds, right?

I would hope the GOP in Congress learned their lesson, they cannot force a coup in our Constitutional Republic.

Besides, do you REALLY want Joe Biden as POTUS?

The only way to get good care will be to find a private doctor that doesn't accept government insurance and pay out of pocket. Better start saving your money.

That's what people said about HMO's, and what many people do.

Somewhere in your rant, try to fit the constitution in for a comparison of what Bush pulled off and what Obama is proposing.

Your presumptuous accusation that I hate democracy misses the mark that many such as I, only tolerate democracy when held within constitutional limits.

Otherwise, it is only mob rule.

I would say don't worry about it. This OP is a copy/past from some RW e-mail. It has been debunked in several other threads. DO NOT believe this garbage; research it yourself.

That's what they have to do in the UK and Canada too, if they can afford to.
