67% on Fox News say NO to national health care plan
Hold your nose and scroll down to the bottom for the poll. If you poke around, you will also find a headline saying the iPhone is too expensive for a cell phone. The iPhone is much more than a fucking cell phone you Fox idiots.

2. I couldn't care less of what the knuckle draggers think....but,
The iPhone is too expensive for a cell phone with a web browser and mp3 capabilities. :)

14. Yes I did.
It's all very cute but I wasn't impressed and I don't need one. I doubt anyone other than executives need one.

20. Impressive, I guess. But I still don't need one. And it's still too expensive. nt

21. The first iPod was along the same price line ($499),
but the next two or three revisions brought down the price. So that's no doubt what'll happen.

5. They belong to the Grover Norquist cult.
Did anyone believe they would vote for a modern healthcare distribution system? These are the same people that view social security as being too socialist.

7. Considering a good portion of the Fox audience is on Medicare.
I'd say that's some pretty hypocritical bullshit there.

8. I would guess that the average fox viewer either works/ed for some kind
Edited on Thu Jan-11-07 12:15 AM by The_Casual_Observer
of government agency or a government contractor. Either way, they have no need for a national heath plan, they already have a fully funded government heath plan. They couldn't give a rat's ass about what anybody else needs.

9. Ironically FAUX news viewers are the ones who would benefit
from a national health care plan. Older, poorer and less educated than most cable viewers by all surveys, IIRC.

10. Who cares what 67% of the people who are 100% certifiably brainwashed think?

11. But would they refuse it and pay the
high premiums instead or do without? These are the same people who reap the benefits of unions and refuse to pay up. Do they give back their raises or benefits, I think not.

17. last couple weeks, due to threads on this board, i am now opposed to national
health care if it is about govt having control over who can be treated and who they decide do not warrant being treated because of poor lifestyle choices. i do not any longer trust "we the people" allowing me to have health care because i am a smoker. i can also see "we the people" decide those that dont eat properly and are overweight not "deserve" health care. or those that drink or do drugs. i wont support any health care controlled by govt when they have the ability to judge what person deserves and doesnt deserve health care. i no longer trust the morality of this issue with our citizens.

have got it figured out.

19. Fox News has zero credability. They are the GOP's Pravda.
