Okay Mitt, if that’s what socialism is, then I absolutely love it.

President Obama stopped shaking hands for a moment today so that he could embrace a sobbing woman whose uninsured sister recently died of colon cancer.

Maybe Romney’s secretly on our side and is trying to sabotage the Republicans?

It’s always been a thought of mine…

House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) said Sunday that ‘Obamacare’ should be repealed because the rights of individuals come from God.

“I think this at the end of the day is a big philosophy difference,” Ryan told ABC’s “This Week.” “We disagree with the notion that our rights come from government, that the government can now grant us and define our rights. Those are ours, they come from nature and God, according to the Declaration of Independence – a huge difference in philosophy.”

UM, I guess Ryan forgot about the part in the New Testament where Jesus told his followers to heal the sick, take care of the poor, help those in need! Those weren’t suggestions, they were commands.

Paul Ryan is a fucking fundamentalist idiot. And he scares me because the Republicans love him and see him as some kind of savior. I hate to think about what he will become years from now. 

And there you have it.

The CBO said this about the health care law back in 2010: It lowers the deficit, by about $124 billion over 10 years.

Mitt Romney is a liar.

I feel bad for people I know who watch Fox News and actually believe that this healthcare system is somehow going to doom the economy. It’s really sad and I’m tired of arguing.

paxamericana:

Back in March, Bill O’Reilly made a bold prediction about the Supreme Court’s health care decision. Coincidentally, Laura Ingraham filled in for him tonight on The O’Reilly Factor

He’s not a big enough man to make good on a bet like that. 

He is a buffoon, just like every other mindless conservative.

I kindly refer you to:

  • The Iraq War
  • Congressional pay Raises
  • Oil Subsidies
  • Bank Bailouts

And you’re gonna cry about how your taxes will go towards healthcare? Shut the fuck up. If you don’t want to pay for people to NOT get fucked over by health insurance companies, then start protesting against all of the OTHER shit tax dollars go to.

Obamacare! Gay marriage! Legalizing drugs! I’m moving to Canada to get away from all of this shit!

Umm… guys, I think there’s some stuff about Canada we need to talk about.

This is how stupid Americans are. Don’t they ever wonder WHY stupid fucking Fox News always refers to Canada as the “bankrupt socialist society” that has free healthcare? 

justinspoliticalcorner:

Richard Mourdock, the Tea Party favorite who ousted Sen. Dick Lugar (R-IN) in Indiana’s Republican Senate primary last month, told a local Indiana newspaper that, contra Obamacare’s protections, employers ought to be able to deny health insurance to people with cancer.

During a freewheeling interview with the News and Tribune, Mourdock said health care will be the “biggest issue” this election. The Indiana Republican, who opposes the Affordable Care Act, argued that businesses should be permitted to deny coverage to employees with cancer “if they want to keep their health care costs down.” 

If Mourdock ultimately wins his election in November, don’t expect him to compromise on his opposition to businesses being required to insure cancer patients. The day after Mourdock won the Republican nomination, he announced on MSNBC that “bipartisanship ought to consist of Democrats coming to the Republican point of view.”

H/T: Scott Keyes at Think Progress Health

Ever notice democrats saying shit like this? Me neither.  

I wish every unhappiness and misfortune in Mr. Mourdock’s life.
