God, I'm sick of conservative lies about healthcare reform
The government will tell the doctors (who, of course, are all in our extremely liberal - not - government's pockets, especially the ultra-conservative AMA /snark) to kill all of the old people? Lie.The proposal provides free healthcare to illegal immigrants? Lie. The proposal will pay for abortions? Lie.The government will invent a healthcare crisis and force everyone to get a swine flu vaccine, which might be OK except that the vaccine will kill you and cause everyone around you to spontaneously burst into flames the first time they enter a Christian church? OK, I made up some of that. But the rest of it? Yeah, another lie. What's amazing about this? The sheeple, most especially the FOX News watchers, actually believe this complete and utter bullshit. So, aside from proving that there are a LOT of astonishingly stupid people in the world, what's my point? It's not just that people are unbelievably dumb, especially the ones who watch Faux News. And I shouldn't be surprised by this, but apparently I was caught by surprise when the right wing nutjobs all collectively decided to lower the American public's IQ by about 40 points in an effort to make sure they win a few minor political points. Assholes. So, here's a little tip for the clue-challenged (none of whom are reading this, of course, more's the pity): Cui bono? Who benefits? Who benefits from keeping our insanely out of control healthcare system running the way it runs today? Two parties: the insurance companies and big pharma, who make billions off this bastardized system; and the GOP, who are absolutely horrified that the Democrats could succeed in making everyone's lives better, because then the GOP'd have a harder time winning future elections. If you believe the conservative mouthpieces have any other motivation at all? Give yourself an IQ test, but be prepared for a failing grade...
