If "life" is so precious to conservatives...

...shouldn't universal health care be a no-brainer for them? I mean, really. :shrug:

But then they are only following orders from the talking heads.

pre-born.

they have the worst record for women's health and prenatal care.

opposing war also be a no-brainer? The hypocrisy of conservatives knows no bounds.

They pretend to be what they are actually the opposite of.

h.c. reform. There are many, many republicans who support h.c. reform. You have astro-turfing industry that is supposed to look like a grass root movement (really just money from ins. industries) and a few loonies who are racists, white, maybe evangelicals, 20%rs who would still support English occupation and the Queen herself if we were at the beginning times of this country. Anyway, the numbers are really skewed. People favor a public option.. many think it will be like medicare for younger people.. something they can get if their workplace doesn't offer it. AND there are a ton of everyday pracitices within the h.c. industry that are just bad. Hospitals should post their efficiency scores. They should post how much disease is prevented.. We hear the stories, in for tonsil removal, stayed longer because of some infection from the hospital. When choosing a Doc or hospital or clinic, one should have the stats on how good the hospital or clinic or office actually is.. Shoot, we choose plumbers, hotels, airlines, eating establishments based on web sites with scores of proficiency dotted with personal experience stories to make our decision as to how we are going to spend our money.. it keeps businesses honest.. However, in the med. ind. there is no place to pull up a menu on a drug and find the cheapest pharmacy to buy your script at. There is no site that rates the doc offices, clinics, or hospitals within your area. Choosing a good doc that is available and within your network is often very difficult, especially if you've moved into a new area. I don't know if this is all in the bill.. but a database advertising prices and reviews and standards with rating charts would be one of the best ways to keep those administering healthcare services honest.

so staunch in their pro-life stance. Where do they stand on the Death Penalty? War? National Health Care? Equal rights and Education?

Republican. Hypocrite.

this is an obvious facade which only serves their immediate political purposes. Behind the scenes, they lie, cheat, commit adultry and steal and they will do it for as long as the public's attention is diverted. Gov. Sanford of SC is a classic recent case.

Pure and simple.

From the perspective of the conservative politician, it is about conning stupid people into voting against their economic interests.

when they went into Iraq they didn't give a damn the night of the bombing you should have heard them hooping and hollaring as they bombed innocent people. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT US!or no one else.

They couldn't care less what happens to a human after birth, as long as there are enough of us to be used as "cannon fodder" when needed.

That's all they care about.

but, only certain lives are precious to them, esp. the lives of those that look most like them.

However, life is not precious, therefore UHC isn't on the priority list.

the underlying MO of the so-called "pro-lifers". These are the same people who are more likely to stand up and protect the insurance industry. They are the same ones most likely to assert hat health care is NOT a right but a privilege.

...with the unqualified label of "pro-life." And remember that they hate nuanced language, as well. So, why should we help them out of this jam by explaining what they really mean? Let's make them tell the world how they can be pro-life and anti-universal health care. When lies are compounded by further lies, eventually, the entire false premise implodes.

Those that claim to be "pro-life" (which is the vast majority of conservatives) yet have absolutely no problem with the #1 killing machine known as the MIC/DOD are nothing more than the worst of the worst of the hypocrites. Everyone that claims to be "pro-life" should be out protesting the wars and demanding equal, affordable access to health care for everyone. If they're not doing that, they have absolutely NO business protesting health care reform and/or blocking access to abortion clinics. Until I see the same people mounting a HUGE protest against the MIC/DOD, they don't have a leg to stand on as far as I'm concerned.
