The GOP cannot survive your good health

These men want to kill you.
Blocking Obama's health plan is key to the GOP's survival.
- Michael Cannon, The Cato Institute

Sorry, America, but the GOP cannot afford your good health. According to PoliticalAffairs.net, after British citizens became dependent on government for health care, they were more likely to vote for Labor, the political party that put universal health care into place. It's the old saying, "you give me medication to eliminate the urge to scratch my back, I scratch yours." Or something like that. Even more alarming for the GOP, you Americans barely voted for them without a Democratic health care plan. Imagine how Democratic you'll be when you have the strength to walk to the polling center for the first time in twenty years.

That is why you, the American taxpayer, must die. It's an unfortunate but necessary sacrifice. Because every breath you take is oxygen stolen from the cabin of the GOP Hindenburg. Not to mention that the GOP is pro-life, which means you are practically killing babies just by waking up in the morning. President Bush knows this and has been trying to off you ingrates since you kind of elected him- let us count the ways. 1) toxic environmental damage, 2) the Afghanistan War, 3) the Iraq War, 4) a bailout to inspire suicides, 5) and the African-American specific Hurricane Katrina. Yet here you are, planning your trip to the Inauguration. To paraphrase Virgil "The Turk" Sollozzo in The Godfather, "they're still alive. We hit them with five shots and they're still alive."

Don't get cocky. The GOP has seven days to finish you off. A word of advice: stay off the causeway.

The Worlds smallest minority versus national health care.
Hmmm,in a fair fight I know who would win but in the bizzaro Neo-con 2D
universe where a benificent being gives a shit about only one very tiny and wealthy minority group and where giving money to them helps us?
Hell,its the widestance trickledowners everytime.
They own the bat,the ball,the field,they make the rules and the calls and if They dont get Their way then they are going to go home to get their big brother to stomp a mud-hole in all our collective asses.
Nyah!

It's sad because it's true. Americans are terrified of universal health care and I have no idea why. As a Canadian citizen I can say this -- It's awesome.

Can you imagine the power of the GOP if they were just able to get us all hooked on Corporate Welfare, Perpetual War, or Surreptitious Gay Sex... We'd be more likely to vote Republican for generations!
