Paging Ezra Klein…

Yesterday, Ezra Klein slandered Joe Lieberman, writing: Lieberman seems primarily motivated by torturing liberals. That is to say, he seems willing to cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in order to settle an old electoral score. And: N…

I’d be fine with a universal health-care plan as long as it’s the one covering the universe of US Congressmen.

I know this sounds like a bit of a paradox, but maybe if this bill were on UHC, it would die by default…just saying.

I recall with fondness also that Rush will often point out that no one’s death certificate ever read “lack of health insurance” in ’cause of death’ and as a fan of Final Destination, I think libtards need to just get over the idea that they are important to the world.

Remember when liberals used to call Republicans ‘mean-spirited’?…

Now we have Harry Reid comparing health-care opponents to slaveholders and Ezra Klein accusing Joe Lieberman of mass murder, while Daily Kos and Jane Hamsher are trying to get Lieberman’s wife fired. Desperate much? …

This “worse bill congress ever generated” should be dead by now but the dems are so desperate that, as Christmas approaches, they will do anything to get it rammed through. Expect even more unbelievable “deals” to be offered for votes. This president is going to get even more downright ugly and will break any law to get his pet bill through congress. He knows that this is his destiny and it cannot be denied him. I wouldn’t be surprized to see dingy Harry keel over with a nervous breakdown from the white house pressure.

Even if it can be shown with any measure of scientific accuracy that “People die without socialized medicine,” I’d wager that more would die with it:

- Healthcare professionals who, like other government employees, don’t give a damn;

- A huge influx of more people seeking more “free” services overwhelming the same healthcare professionals;

- Unsanitary hospitals that will usually give you more diseases than you went in with; and

- A “supply sergeant” mentality on the part of the government when it comes to life-saving or life-extending services to the elderly (i.e., “We don’t have it, we can’t get it, you don’t need it”).

Socialism kills. Turning over our healthcare to socialists will simply give them a new avenue to kill people.

The left does nothing except to continuously invent these stupid sob stories. Having health insurance is not a preventative against health problems. Life isn’t fair. Health insurance for all will not prevent people from getting life threatening diseases.
I’ve never liked Ms. Powers. She’s too idealistic and naive. I just can’t listen to the woman.

But this has about as much credibility as Russell Brand’s rant about people “not dying in the streets” in Britain because they have “free” health care…

Yet they have bums by the hundreds. They may not be dying, but passed out drunk? That’s another story.

none of us are getting out of life alive. all these gubmint societal programs were based on a life expectancy of 65, not 85. so all you good democrats that want to keep ss, medicare and medicaid solvent, please take the blue pill on your 66th birthday.

My uncle was injured when a wooden bat he was using to club baby seals cracked and splintered, puncturing his lower arm.

The government should provide aluminum bats to citizens clubbing baby seals.

This morning I saw a car that had a flat tire. We need Universal Tire Insurance! Americans will die if flat tires prevent them from driving to the store for 52″ LCD TV’s, beer, and potato chips!

Any coroners out there with the cojones to list as cause of death “Government healthcare rationing”?

—————————————-

Or how about an ad with cute little children to counter the pro-Obamacare one (you may have heard of it; the darling little girl who announces that she will “get leukemia and die” because her family has no insurance coverage and can’t get it?)

In this one, a little girl will say, “My Grandma will die because the government wouldn’t pay for her medical care”, or even, “My Grandma lost her Medicare coverage”.

Genius!

People without health insurance and people with health insurance die everyday.

Death is a natural consequence of life.

Another thought: It’s easy to say “who cares how much it costs” when none of “it” has to come out of your own pocket. It’s the rest of us she expects to foot this bill, not herself.
