Kristol: "There Is No Health Care Crisis"...

[BlooInBloo]

Wow.

As said over at Kos, if it ain't about bombing Iran, Kristol ain't interested.

"So President Obama invited himself into our living rooms tonight...why? Not to address questions of war and peace -- even though we are fighting two wars overseas, and even though an avowed enemy and terror sponsor is rushing towards nuclear weapons. Not to address the economy -- even though unemployment continues to rise, the deficit is at an all-time high, and we face a truly worrisome debt burden in the years ahead. And not to rally the nation in the face of some other crisis.

But isn’t health care a crisis? No.

Indeed, the president acknowledged it isn’t: “But we did not come here just to clean up crises. We came to build a future. So tonight, I return to speak to all of you about an issue that is central to that future -- and that is the issue of health care.” In other words, health care -- unlike, say, the financial system a few months ago -- is not in a state of crisis.

So there is no health care crisis. There are a host of normal public policy issues dealing with health care that can be dealt with through the normal political process."

1. Yeah, well... Bill Kristol doesn't live in the real world

He lives in some war-mongering-loving, dog-eat-dog, self-interests are the only thing that matter world. He has good insurance for himself and his family and plenty of money to cover whatever he needs. He's a member of the priviledged-class and doesn't know how most of us are living today.

2. And anyone who doesn't belong

to his country club circle can rot and die in the streets like a dog.

6. SeattleGirl: Fuck you, Kristol. There IS a healthcare crisis, ya moran!

Just because it's not hitting you where you live doesn't mean it's not there.

Go crawl back under your ignorant rock.

You.

Suck.
