Jon Stewart makes Health Care seem more like a combination of World Wrestling Federation and NASCAR. Where the Stupid Things Go.
With a super-majority in the Senate, Democrats have failed to get any hint of a public option out of committee. But they did take the bull by the horns and voted for another $50 million to sink into the proven failure of Abstinence-Only education!
The Republicans are against the PUBLIC OPTION for the same reason they were against child labor laws, national parks, social security, medicare, Medicaid and the environment in the past. It is a political ideology based upon a nation controlled by good well meaning corporate interests who reward them with cash, and Christian religious dogma which rewards them with votes. As opposed to the evil American Government.
Frank Luntz makes words work? There’s a couple for you. American Government. Add American to it every time the government is disparaged… Every single time…
The Republicans have successfully destroyed health care reform by primarily generating fear of Mexicans and murdering grandma and little babies! I expect them to soon get guns and gays into this somehow.
And of course the ideological horror of the slippery slope leading to an affordable national health care system for everyone, which the rest of the civilized world not only enjoys but could and would not do without. Because as they say, they are a civilized people.
But not to worry, the five conservatives on the Supreme Court are going to momentarily put lots and lots more guns on the streets which will make everything much better. So be happy and don’t get sick!
