83.6 YES!

[DJ13]

1. Not until after their corporate masters have drained your bank account

THEN you can die.

[liberal N proud]

6. That is what they do when you get sick

Or if you are fortunate enough to live to a ripe old age, they will take it at the nursing home.

Either way they plan on draining your pockets.

[lpbk2713]

2. On the day after election day.

That is, if they feel they have done a good enough job of spreading the bullshit sufficiently.

[valerief]

3. Not until after you pump out a few Jesus babies for their Jesus warrior brainwashing camps. nt

[KansDem]

4. Sure...

...in Iraq.

[Echo In Light]

5. They really want you to enlist in the War Machine to fight for their intere$ts

[guitar man]

7. absolutely

[Cleita]

8. Republican acquaintances of mine, whom I think suffer from

Stockholm's syndrome, don't believe they deserve to live if they can't pay for what they need out of their own pockets, even if they are out of work and starving. They truly believe what they have been told by generations of greedy assholes who live in mansions and are driven about in limos. I feel almost sorry for them.

15. They still believe the big lie.

They will win the lottery or in someway will somehow be rich.

Wait till they get old and the disillusionment sets in.

[Joe the Liberal]

9. Absolutely......

It's pretty obvious to anyone who pays a little attention and has a few brain cells whose side the republicans are on. They are fighting hard to prevent 40 million Americans from getting access to basic health care which can make all the difference between life and death. They most certainly want us to die, there's no doubt about that, and they still have the nerve to call themselves "pro-life". I guess "pro-life" only applies to fetuses, when it comes to people who are already here they (republicans) could care less.

10. OMG, found this great article at the Guardian site, it's a must-read:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/oct/01/lobbyists-millions-obama-healthcare-reform



read the comments too, it's incredible.

for example:

Obama should veto it if it comes to it. Compulsory private health insurance? That's a step down from their current system.

Poor, poor Americans.

(comment recommended by other readers 61 times)

Every single American should be deeply ashamed of themselves. Disgusting.

(126 recs)



and some very insightful comments, for example:

As a Brit living in America (not by design) I can safely say that it is an alarmingly backward country. The worst part though is the way that the vast majority of Americans vote against their own self interest. This is caused by a mix of cultural and geographical isolation, media and corporate misinformation/propoganda and startling low levels of general education.

What is going on in Congress and has been doing so for years is nothing short of disgusting. The way the system is set up with each state having two senators regardless of population and of course 'minority rule' means that 41 Senators representing only 20% of the population (in this case the middle red states largely populated by white, uneducated working class hicks) can veto any presidential initiative, leaves you with little hope for change.

[Bigmack]

11. Yes... especially if you are a color other than white. nt

[Dirtyhairy]

12. NO!

[wroberts189]

13. If you vote Dem. ABSOLUTELY nt

[Swamp Rat]

14. 84% yes

[EmeraldCityGrl]

16. Yes. There are only so many resources available to

sustain life on planet Earth. Water, food, healthcare will be denied to the many to support the few. We are seeing evidence of this all around us. The planet
simply can't support the growing population.

[RagAss]

17. Yes...CEO's do as well...not to mention health insurance companies.

Much fucking cheaper.

[bigwillq]

18. Done

85.1% Yes. Republicans just want the status quo

14.9% No. Critics of healthcare reform are right

[DailyGrind51]

19. 85.5% now!

[eridani]

20. Only if you don't have the money to pay for health care n/t

[wroberts189]

21. 84.8 and climbing ..kick.

[fujiyama]

22. I'm sure they wouldn't mind if I did

I wouldn't vote for one in a million years!
