"Yes, we'll have to raise taxes. The only way you can pay for a health care plan that costs anywhere from $90 (billion) to $120 billion is there has to be a revenue source," the former North Carolina senator said.

So how many people have been voted to office on the platform of raising taxes...?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

"...revenue source." Like sucker OB doctors, Johnny ?

[Mr. K]

More money for lawyers? (like him)

The idiot is too stupid to realize he is one of the causes of the problems in health care.

The problem is Lawyers. If I was a doctor I think I would hang a big sign out front "NO LAWYERS"

[Mr. K]

Oh and another one who was for the Iraq war, before he was against it.

"I'll be raising your taxes!"

The Breck Girl just applied for early retirement.

Just when you thought they couldn't get any dumber than Joe Biden talking about the first clean African-American...

[plain talk]

He's pulling a Mondale already. Maybe they believe they need to start working on brainwashing the public to believe that adding taxes is good.

[operation clinton cleanup]

He said he wants employers to play a bigger role, either by offering coverage or buying into "health markets" that would include a government plan.

"Health Markets"? John, being the folksy kind of guy you keep telling us you are, I'm sure you are familiar with the saying "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig".

Bye, Bye John "Walter Mondale" Edwards. Nice to see ya, wouldn't want to be ya.

At least Walter Mondale got to actually BE Vice-President. This guy had a one term bought Senate seat. He has never been elected since people got to see what he was about.

Edward's favorite movie:

[zbigreddogz]

Mondale also was elected twice to the senate, and twice as AG of MN.

He's about 1000X the man Edwards is. Mondale is many things, a liberal idealog is one of them, a demagogic moron like Edwards isn't one of them.

BUT..Edwards is so........pretty. JK

I love how these politicians use the term "ask people to pay" when they want to raise taxes to pay for their new social programs.

Well I suppose if he's only "asking", then I can politely decline to pay the additional taxes when I file my 1040 and there will be no repercussions?!?

Yeah right... It's like when the mafia "asking" you to pay protection money...
