“Government healthcare will enslave us all and empower the government to confiscate the savings of everyone to pay the bill. It will be a disaster unlike anything you can imagine.”

Replace ‘government healthcare’ with ‘Wall Street greed and corruption’ and you’d be correct. Secondly, every other industrialized country in the world does this and not only do they rank higher in almost every category you can measure health standards by, they also do it for half the cost or less than what we do it for. We have an expensive and useless system that leaves 1 in 6 people without any care at all. And of the people that ARE insured, 1 in 4 are turned down for procedures by insurance companies.

Just remember, Michelle dear, “up the track” and not “across the street”!

The only hope to get rid of Michele is that Rapture sucks up 144,000 voters from our district, and that people donate to Tarryl Clark (her opponent this time around), at http://www.tarryclark.com.

I don’t get how all the chicken little’s have been able to hijack this entire discussion so successfully. Don’t worry about things like facts, truth or the greater good of our country. Socialism and capitalism have been working fine in this country together! Socialism is not evil, people are!
We have entirely socialized security, from national defense down to local PD’s. I cannot think of one country that has not socialized their security. It’s a basic need that we are all paying for and very proud of. Think of all the private industries (defense contractors…) that support our security, works pretty well doesn’t it?
K-12 Education, another basic need that is socialized, yet there are many private schools that do quite well.
Another basic need is healthcare, which is already partially socialized. Private industry profits immensely off this sector even the socialized part!
It seems like we are living in hypocrisies finest day’s. People pay lip sevice to J.C. and then turn around and spread hate and fear. People accept medicare/medicade… and rail about socialized medicine. For the record, Michelle Bachman is currently benefiting from socialized medicine and is trying to deny it for everyone else. I have not heard of one Canadian or European that would trade their system for ours. I know a lot of Americans that would trade theirs though.

I wonder if she has always talked like this and all because of the web and blogs we are finally getting to hear it.

“Something is way crazy out there” Michele Bachmann said.

Friendly amendment? “someONE is crazy out there” makes more sense … and it’s the Representative from the Minnesota 6th suggesting people slash their wrists to stave off needed health care reform

Curt,

It pains me to read your drivel, but at least you could spare the few minutes to read through your BS and use your spell checker before you post.

I know you are busy responding to numerous websites with your GOP spam talking points, but you would be more effective if your posts were organized and coherent.

Keep up the posting, I hear you get 25 cents for each one.

HA!
