Please send it to all your friends.

No, thanks. I don't want all of my friends to think I'm an idiot, or to think that I actually believe the crap in your email.

Kind of like how just a few years back some people thought the children of members of CONgress and the POTUS should be in the military if they thought the wars were so just and worthwhile.

What are you talking about? Should congressmen be on welfare as well? Should they collect food stamps?

Why would they be expected to adopt a federal health care program designed for the poor who fall through the cracks of the private insurance?

I don't know any poor Congressmen, so it doesn't really apply to them, nor should it. Those who have viable private health plans are free to continue using it. Congress is included in that liberty.

How sad is it that this discussion has gone on for five pages but no one can quote the bill because it ain't out there for us to review.

Kind of like the stimulus bill!

This is one of those "hold my beer and watch this" moments...except they're spending trillions of our dollars on legislation they can't be bothered to read!

"Hey ya'll - mix up some martinis and let's vote on some legislation!"
