Other than slamming the RATs at their own game, can you tell me why this is a good thing for conservatives, Repubos, and the country in general?

Because it allows for the privatization of Medicare for the upcoming generation of workers.

Also, Medical Savings Accounts will allow us to keep $5,000 per year tax free to spend on health care. If you spend it, fine, if you don't spend it, it rolls over and remains tax free until it is used for medical expenses. This will be a huge boon to small business owners who can't afford to pay the exorbitant premiums for health care, yet, under the current system, can't afford to set money aside.

I'm just trying to figure out how this is Constitutional.

Jackasses all.

What a joke on those of us who pay taxes.

Bend over, America, once more.

(And No, there's no vaseline for ya.)

Grin, and bear it.

Just the fact that Ted Kennedy hates it so much is good enough for me.

It did more than slam the RATS. I agree that all of this big government nonsense is bad for the country. What is of overwhelming importance, however, is the re-election of the man who recognizes evil and calls it what it is. The damage done to this nation if a DemocRAT is elected in the next election is incalculable. Bush and the GOP have managed to take the issue away from RATS. The AARP came sided with a Republican president. That is stunning. Now, if another 20% of blacks get off the RAT plantation, and we just manage to secure about 20% of the illegal votes, we'll be in good shape for '04.

It's not! In fact, if we don't start threatening to NOT vote for Bush next year, it's only going to get worse. At this point, I'm seriously considering voting for some obscure, conservative, third-party candidate. The Pubbies are letting us down, big time.
