ABC's GOP debate is on now. It's infuriating.
No one wants to reform health care. They are whining about "socialized medicine", tax cuts for insurance premiums, and things that don't address the problem.

1. I did notice the most overwhelming applause came when Ron Paul
blasted the Iraq War and said the troops should come home now.

I thought that was quite telling, and it made me happy.

But it's been all down hill since. :puke:

2. Let them continue to infuriate the majority of Americans as well.
When they are beating themselves... Let them.

4. Giuliani:
"We don't want our medical system to be like England, France or Canada..."

Sure, because then it wouldn't suck!

5. You can NEVER lose American votes with xenophobia and "We're #1!"

8. That's a corollary to "no one ever went broke by underestimating
the intelligence of the American people." And you'll get no argument from me. Occasionally there's a breakthrough, though. If enough people see "Sicko" it might help.

Speaking of breakthroughs, here's a shot of the Super Winky Dink Kit, which I owned as a child and participant in the first interactive TV show. The "super" version had eight crayons, instead of four, a deluxe erasing mitt, and a bigger screen!

9. Brownback has sworn to appoint a justice that will be the deciding vote
Edited on Sun Aug-05-07 11:21 AM by Ilsa
to overturn Roe v. Wade. But right before, he complained about there being too many single-parent households. I wonder what he thinks overturning Roe would do to that statistic?

With Brownback and so many others, it is "my lifestyle is the best, and yours stinks, and we are going to try to make you like my way."
