Now tell me, why would a union worker, who pays diddly for health care, want universal coverage? Instead of having a choice, wouldn't that put him in the same heap the rest of us would be in when he seeks treatment?
Sure, go ahead, it worked so well last time!!
Oh Geez
(but not for what you would think...)
Well yeah...exactly my view of the left.....Socialist scum that they are.
Dems have plenty of backbone, lots of guts, a good pair of cojones but no brain, no conscience,no morality and no soul. They also lack a logical and intelligent foreign and domestic policy.
Chamberlain is their foreign policy advisor and their domestic policy guide is Soviet Collectivism - both failed icons.
Otherwise, they are just great people.
The last thing I want is to wait for hours at some crowded clinic for the same level of "customer service" that I now get at the Post Office.
No thanks.
What would Sen. Exlax know about backbone?
"We're for universal health care for every single man, woman and child in America and we are going to fight for it every single day when we're running this country, when we're running the Congress, when we're running the White House."
We've got some loony woman running for the DFL here in MN and this has been her main campaign issue, the subject of her commercials.
Interesting. Teddy Kennedy said the same thing, using the same "backbone" buzzwords yesterday. Sounds like a focus group product.
For the life of me, I can't understand why unions are such strong supporters of these idiotic government initiatives. I believe one of the key factors in the long-term decline in union membership has been the fact that union-supported politicians have been so successful in implementing taxpayer-funded government programs that give all people the kind of things that unions used to secure for their members in the collective bargaining process.
Why join a union when some dopey jack@ss like John Edwards is willing to give you all those things without taking any union dues from you?
All that the Republicans need to do is INSIST (and shout it to the mountaintops) that ANY "universal health care" program must include, without exception, every single Congressman and Senator, and that those Congressmen and Senators will have to stand in the same lines for health care as every other citizen, from smelly homeless bum to corporate CEO.
The scumbag Democrats will NEVER agree to that, and, since their hypocrisy and sneaky shenanigans can no longer be spiked by their allies in big liberal media, "universal health care" is DOA. The "issue" is simply a political sham designed to stir up the particularly ignorant. Edwards fancies himself good at that.
