...Gore was trying to make a point about Bush's moral priorities by establishing a series of facts about Bush's behavior. Rather than deny having chosen tax cuts over children's healthcare, or explain his rationale for having done so, Bush changed the subject to more comfortable ground: judging people's hearts.

The logic, such as it is, is truly pathetic.

Is there no one left (or is that no leftist left?) who sees that throwing public money at a problem and taxing everyone into a lower standard of living to pay for it, is a terrible thing to do rather than to empower people by lowering taxes and thereby raising their standard of living?

That's how you address healthcare, not turning it into a public boondoggle, and throwing money at it.

They can't think logically!!

They just want bigger government!

They believe the masses can't do it better than they can.
