The Republican argument on health care
Edited on Thu Jun-18-09 06:37 AM by underpants
Everyone knows that government can't do anything right
People can't have a government option because everyone will choose it

1. "Hey, I want a Cadillac! Do I get that for free, comrade?"
What they all really want to say is:

"I don't wanna pay for some lazy crack addict's drugs or a 'welfare queen's' health care, or for her 10 kids!!!"

They just can't do so in public for obvious reasons.

11. Yes.
It's "Yeah, nevermind your family would be getting that exact same health care that your Reaganite fantasy 'welfare queen' would be getting. Stupid."

4. When they say that government can't do anything right ...they are talking about themselves!

Out of the same mouth comes 2 opposite sides ...People want to keep their healthcare as it is ...oh wait we can't have a government public option because everyone will choose it. Repukes/Sociopath Party ...what a huge collection of over used fucking asscarrots.

9. Even P.J. admitted it
The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it.

7. The Government shouldn't be trusted with our healthcare, but military exploits
of dubious nature that cost the taxpayers billion$ should not be questioned. Yeah.

8. Remember the repub's campaign pledge
Government is evil, incompetent, and will not work for you--elect us and we'll prove it.

10. These are the same people who think that ...
... health care costs too much because people are buying too much care, and thus need to be charged more to discourage them from getting care they don't need.
Face it, they have no understanding of the problem here.
