Freepers want to donate to keep Schiavo alive... but oppose "socialism"

Edited on Wed Mar-23-05 07:38 PM by expatriot

The irony/hypocrisy of these Freepers who do not think anything of the state paying hundreds of thousands to keep Schiavo alive are the same creeps that oppose "socialist" programs like Medicare (the program paying for her life support).

These people are such SHEEP whose politics can be manipulated like a gummee worm.

1. I suspect that many of them haven't paid enough attention to the case to

know that the taxpayers are footing most of the bill.

2. Precisely! Money for this sort of thing is being denied to others.

Also, is it not true that there is also some kind of big malpractice settlement supporting her too? The very sort of thing Republicans want to put an end to.

3. Yes. I believe that the terms were undisclosed, but I've seen figures

in the million-dollar range.

If Bush's plan to cap malpractice awards had been in place at the time, the taxpayers would have had to foot an even larger portion of the bill.

they defy logic. There is nothing to base a judgment upon with their stupidity. There has never been a baseline so low and moronic. They're going into uncharted territory here. Always the trend setters, they are establishing new boundaries is "assholiness". :eyes:

I can't wait until the eruption of bile, venom and pure, unadulterated shit when she finally escapes this nether world of idiocy.
FR is going to explode like a lanced boil then, and I'm going to soil my soul and visit their putrid site that day. I wouldn't miss it for all the tea in Red China.
