12. Did people who opposed Part D want seniors to die and go without needed medications?

Or is it possible for people of good conscience to disagree with the construction of a program that has very real positive benefits for real people in need?

I understand the emotion but it isn't rational or fair but you are entitled to feel any way you like.

If I want you sick, unable to seek treatment, and to die then anyone including me (again, damn I'm diabolical) and maybe you who opposed Part D wanted suffering and death for seniors and maybe even more heartless considering it wasn't coming out of our pockets and had no impact on any of us by the same logic.

Do I also want you to be blown to bits in a terror attack because I oppose the Patriot Act?

Do I want to take away your family plot because I believe in an inheritance tax?

Do I want some rigger's kids to go to bed hungry because I'm not pro-drilling?

If I don't watch my ass I'll be worse than Hitler but I also am willing to bet we can comb your policy positions and wildly accuse you of being a monster too. What ever serves the agenda, right?
