Fear mongering and nonsense speech at it's finest.

Sorry, I can't take anything from Think Progress seriously. Why don't you post something from DU or the Daily Kos instead?

Rand Paul is smarter than every Democrat in Washington DC combined, the idiots on the left can't touch him and it's becoming very clear that he strikes fear in the hearts of those who seek to live off the government tit forever.

Where was the fear mongering if not in this thread?

Basically, once you imply a belief in a right to someone’s services — do you have a right to plumbing? Do you have a right to water? Do you have right to food? — you’re basically saying you believe in slavery

Healthcare is not a RIGHT. Having others take care of YOU, is a privlidge. Why dont you learn the difference?

In fact your link didnt even take the time out to list why Paul was wrong, come to think of it.. neither did you!!

Did you actually watch the video? It's Rand Paul saying those exact words..But anyway, I should ignore Think Progress and Rand Paul's words and accept your ridiculously bogus claim. Ah, no.

Interesting that people never complain when the fire department comes to put out fires or the police come to stop a crime or EMT's come to provide first aid and transport one to the hospital BUT when lackies of the health insurance industry pump your head full of garbage, healthcare becomes synonomous with slavery. No, sorry that's hypocritical BS.

And the seniors mostly vote GOP, ironically.

Out of eleven people in my office there are only two who are not working because the job offers healthcare.

The other nine are scared to death of changing jobs because what they have is the only way they can afford to take care of their families.

I submit that they are slaves already because of the current healthcare system. I am also quite pissed at Obama for compromising on the public option. Maybe in his next term he will grow a pair and kick the republican roadblocks to progress out of the way.
