Everyone Needs to See this Video...I mean seriously!!
Edited on Thu Mar-05-09 06:25 PM by vaberella
I was horrified to listen to this buffoon go on national television and spout this crap. His name is Zach Wamp and he's a Republican representative in the house from Tennessee. I mean he really horrified me.

I'm someone who doesn't have insurance. I was kicked out of most for pre-existing conditions and secondly, I just couldn't afford it. He said half the people without health insurance CHOSE not to have health insurance. I was FORCED to take the option of no insurance...it wasn't a choice and he's saying this on national television. There's no sense of humanity.

It was way above and beyond my means. He actually said on air that health care is NOT A RIGHT BUT A PRIVILEGE. In what world do people think that. So I don't have to have health care I have to earn the right to health care. So my life means shit. This is what they really think about the American people, or just humanity. He talks about this "socialistic" new health care is going to create a divide between the haves and the have nots leading to class warfare. It was always class warfare when the idiot money makers stole from the citizens of this nation and bankrupt us.

I'm truly disgusted. Not a right but a privilege...he needs to be removed. People from Tennessee on this board get together and take him out of office. We as a nation can't have people come on our airwaves and spout shit. I'm going to send that tape to KO and Rachel Maddow and I hope you guys flood their emails with this video as well. I'm truly horrified and disgusted. After such a great day this managed to ruin it.

1. Apparently he never read the Declaration of Independence
If one of our unalienable rights is "life"--then that means we have the right to health care to maintain that life.

8. This is the first Republican I've heard say that...it gave me a shock.
I know they're sleazy like that..but that was just unnecessary and over the top. If Rush wasn't already ruining the Republican party which is full of crappers anyway, this guy could do it single handedly.
