Fox News: Ben Nelson Opposes Health Reform Because He ‘Understands The True Meaning Of Christmas’
Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE) is still refusing to support Senate health care reform legislation, with his main objection being that the bill doesn’t restrict women’s rights enough by severely limiting access to abortions. Today on Fox News, host Steve Doocy and analyst Peter Johnson, Jr. lauded Nelson for his “moral” stance. But they then went even further, arguing that Nelson is obstructing progress because he “understands the true meaning of Christmas” — unlike all the immoral people who want to make sure that Americans have access to quality, affordable health care as soon as possible.

2. it's not just about abortion...
Edited on Fri Dec-18-09 12:54 PM by Deja Q
It's about saving and helping post-born lives. You know, what Jesus did.

Also, "quality", "affordable", and other marketed buzzwords just patronize the marketers' audiences - or, rather, that's what they've been diluted down to...

4. That demand to let states opt out of covering poor people really shows that spirit of Christmas
as seen by Ebenezer Scrooge.

7. I wonder if Peter Johnson, Jr.'s middle name is Richard.
He'd have hit the trifecta.
