It must suck right now to be someone who still thinks Bush was a pretty smart guy and to have just listened to Obama's well reasoned, articulate, eloquent speech on health care reform.  But I digress...I'm sure the message was lost on the cheap seats because, well, he used multisyllabic words and whatnot and who in the hell does that black man think he is anyway pretending to be all smarter than us whites?

Doing nothing costs more than doing something; anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of mathematics can't deny that obvious fact.  If you don't fall into that category...well...it sucks being you.  I'm for a plan that leaves those who are opposed to health care reform with zero options...they either stay healthy or they die...call it passive eugenics...a purge of society's mental midgets.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

How many of us DO know someone who has lost health insurance due to illness or was denied coverage to begin with?  My mom's boyfriend retired and had a very difficult time getting health insurance because he was treated for an excema-like rash behind his ear.  Isn't that the most ridiculous thing you have ever heard?  He doesn't have high blood pressure or high cholesterol, but dry skin was going to keep him from some BCBS!

The current reality, Kimmi, is that even if you have health insurance, your insurer is free to deny you coverage based upon some nebulous wording in their policy that is there to expressly limit their liability.  Any politician working against health care reform is clearly not working in the best interest of his/her constituents and any citizen who doesn't see this obvious manipulation of our political system should have the opportunity to opt out...let them die.

And I would venture to guess anyone politician who is working against reform is also lining their pockets with $$$ from insurance companies.  They like status quo because it makes them money!!

Do you think if I started speaking out against this...the insurance companies would line my pockets?  I could use the extra cash.
Looks like I've come full circle.

I just heard someone on the radio this morning saying he shouldn't use big words.

At least it wasn't as bad as the physical attacks other South Carolina politicians have committed on others; i.e., Tillman on McLaurin and Brooks on Sumner.

South Carolina must be SO proud. (Looky, looky. He represents ME!!!)

Miller will probably really whip him next time.

Can only hope. Real class.

ABC news is reporting that Miller received over 3,000 individual contributions totaling about $100,000.00 over night.  Way to help out your opponent!
