McConnell on senate floor saying kids h. insurance is socialized medicine.

[rodeodance]

[rateyes]

1. Just as long as they get the medicine...

I don't care what they call it.

[kenny blankenship]

2. GOOD! Keep saying it, Mitch!

[yardwork]

3. Maybe he'd like to give up his own state-sponsored health care?

[Donnachaidh]

8. yeah -- if it's not good enough for the kids, it ain't good enough for Congress

YANK THEIR HEALTH CARE!

[yardwork]

13. I think that we should insist on this, actually.

If Congress can't bring themselves to support "socialized medicine," then they must give up their own socialized health coverage.

[rodeodance]

9. yeah, take that Viagra away from those OLD COOTS!

[Canuckistanian]

26. No, his own SOCIALIZED health care

Because apparently to conservatives, anything that the government pays for is considered "socialization".

Of course that general rule only applies to health care, Head Start, food stamps, education and housing.

[Donnachaidh]

4. Bring on the BOOGEYMAN!!!!!

Is Lenin's body still viewable? Maybe McConnell can blow up a REALLY big picture of Lenin to scare the sheep.

[rodeodance]

5. Ha HA -he says the 110th congress will be put into the DO Nothing Hall of Fame----guess he

FORGETS----his Frist 109th congress has that Claim to Fame!

[Cha]

6. What an old miserly, greedy asshole..who

the fuck is he to come up with so-called smears for kid's medicine?

[blondeatlast]

7. Yeah, those immunization programs are a Commie plot.

(Of course, there are DUers who may think the same...)

[LeftCoast]

10. Yes. Just like fire and police protection

:)

[WinkyDink]

16. You don't think Republicans care about anyone not in their gated communities, do you?

[WinkyDink]

11. And his point would be...?

[Virginia Dare]

21. Socialism=Communism in the repub/freep mind..

he's just connecting the dots for his "base".

[Richard Steele]

12. As opposed to the Repub "poor people should shut up and die" plan? I'll take socialism.

Just like our SOCIALIST roads, electricity and clean drinking water.

threatening a veto EVEN before they looked at it.


wonders wonders. turn on cspan2 now

15. Careful: Give kids health insurance and you'll cut down military recruitment....

Joining the "all-volunteer" Army is one of the very few ways unskilled workers can get their kids health care.

And increasingly, skilled workers.

[lateo]

17. That is funny coming from someone enjoying government insurance.

What an asshole.

[blondeatlast]

18. Good one--perhaps we should remind all the no voters that the taxpayers foot the

bill for the mistresses' boob job, whether covered or not?

:evilgrin:

[lovuian]

19. He will vote trillions of our money to Iraq but to American sick

children he will damn them

[Virginia Dare]

20. That's the good old republican way...n/t

[MetaTrope]

22. Well, since his wife was a business partner of the Chinese government

I guess he should know.

[drbtg1]

23. IT'S SOCIALIZED INSURANCE, not socialized medicine

It's an important point. The doctors and hospitals are still private.

When an insurance company wants to spend millions on advertising and then more money on licensing fees to get Snoopy on it's advertising instead of increasing benefits, the system needs to be fixed!

[postulater]

24. Maybe he figures kids should pay for their own insurance

out of their allowances.

[mdmc]

25. he is right - I still support it...
