dammit I wish I could remember what I learn here [View all]

So I can respond to conservative bullshit.

I was just getting home from work and my neighbor haaaad to talk politics, cuz of the political flyers in my mail.

I said I didn't want to discuss politics, but he kept at it snd I couldn't stick to my statement.

So according to him, they're all the same, Obamacare was shoved down our throats and no one is refused care at hospitals.

I said what I could but I don't watch news, only listen to music radio and don't read the local newspapers. So I don't have the soundbites that stick in your mind.

Acch. Just pisses me off that I couldn't whip out facts, statistics and the other great stuff I learn here. He didn't believe that anyone dies and he also beleives that the homeless and mentalky ill are going to be fined. And that the only people helped are kids who are already covered under their parents' insurance.

Now I remember that it was Obama that passed that legislation to cover kids till they're 26... but see? When I've got someone spewing idiocy at me, I can't bring to mind what I need.

Sigh. Thanks gang....
I just had to vent. Grrrrrr.
