Republicans are to healthcare as Quakers are to warfare

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

You're not gonna get a "bi-partisan" declaration of war with the Quakers signing on anymore than you're going to get any real healthcare reform with the Republicans signing on.

Can we give up this fairy tale of "bi-partisanship"? We're going to get a diluted, crappy, designed to fail, ineffective failure of a bill that the Republicans aren't going to vote for anyway and the Dems will carry all the blame - as they should.

2. except that the quakers don't engage in war...

whereas the repugs have the best healthcare OUR money can buy

the quakers stand behind their beliefs

the repugs are hypocrites

[T Wolf]

3. Exactly. The repukes & healthcare are the evil twin of the Quakers & war. nt

6. good point

8. Quaker Nixon was the guy who gave us Earth Day and the EPA

Prescott Bush protege Nixon was the warmonger. The conflict between the two is what made him a drunken paranoid lunatic.

9. Heh, never thought about it that way!

Thanks!

4. Only difference is the Quakers cannot stop the repugs from getting us mired in wars

while the repugs with the help of the DINOS (Blue Dogs) can seemingly stop real healthcare reform in its tracks.

[ensho]

7. please don't connect the Quakers with the Repugs

the Quakers are clean the Repugs are dirty

10. Insurance Company Gestapo's

As it is now, it's the insurance companies that "stand between you and your doctor" One must go through ones insurance company to get ANYTHING OKed for the cost, before any doctor or hospital will perform the necessary procedures.

And that privilege of having an insurance company employee making the bureaucratic decision, rather than the inept heartless government official should justify the higher cost of their far superior plan...right?

The insurance companies employees making decisions on what surgeries, medical care, procedure & prescriptions one can talk about getting between you and your doctor...The insurance companies are like the Gestapo.
