I know he probably won't win; but I just HATE such people with all the passion of a thousand burning suns, and don't want them poking their noses into my backyard!

3. I've got daisies in my garden with a higher IQ than him.

4. What an incredible fucking asshole.

I'm almost completely dumbfounded by his arrogance and heartlessness (not to mention his cowardice in trying to avoid answering the question).

Nothing highlights the Conservative "I got mine; screw you" mindset better than when douchebags like this rail against guaranteed healthcare for all.

5. Santorum can't stand thinking about

all those poor people who get to go see a doctor over there. I imagine it really gets him going when he thinks about it - "Damn them!" he thinks to himself.

6. I'm not an expert on the British NHS but,

It was my impression that Thatcher broke it by bringing in bean counters who set performance standards based on computer analysis models, and replacing experienced and thoughtful administrators with technocrats.

7. That's not what the facts bear out...but no surprise...that's republican ideology for you.

Here's a polling of the US HC system vs. the evil Socialist versions in Canada, GB, and NZ -

Pay special attention to the costs and paperwork part.
