"Don't Get Sick": The Truth About GOP Health Plans?

Commented Oct 06, 2009 at 09:10:38 in Politics

“To be fair, the republican plan does look after some.

Themselves & their masters in pharmaceutical and insurance industries.

They aren't completely heartless it is just that their heart is in the wrong place (their wallets).”

“Have you seen those teabaggers? They are potentially violent largely after bing whipped up into a frenzy by their surrogate minds (the news models and opinion hosts o Faux "news").

They need to be monitored to avoid another Timothy McVeigh or the unabomber. They are only a few more crazed pokes from the right wing propagandists.”

“I agree. The same should go for alcohol, tobacco, public transportation, cars, elevators, escalators. People who walk, run, bike to work should be given subsidies. People who take the stairs should be able to take some off of their medicare payments.”

“The arrogance and, well, evil nature, of the right is becoming clearer and clearer. We saw it when they tried to block the recount in Florida, when they pushed for an occupation of Iraq with lies and deception, when they allowed insurance companies to fund their push against providing health care to ALL citizens of the USA, When they applauded gun toting nuts appearing at Obama town halls, when they celebrated the destruction of the Constitution and the Geneva Convention under the cheney/bush administration, and when they rejoiced in the cold blooded murder of a doctor in his church, as they demonize a President for encouraging children to study and work hard in school, and as they have gone out of their way to vilify our democratically elected President of the United States who, by the way, is trying (foolishly) very hard to reach across the aisle. The GOP puts party first, Country last - no matter what slogans they might use to confuse and mislead their lemming followers. They are showing their true colors and they are not beautiful - they are retched, sick, and dangerous.”

“"...and support women and families in the choices they make."

DOES say what you wanted to hear - perhaps not in as easily understandable words but it is there. I can tell you that there will be a TON more support for mothers who CHOOSE to have a child or CHOOSE to carry them in their bodies and give them up once born under a Democratic Administration then there ever was under the republican administration that cared only about developing cell clusters and not a whip about actual living/breathing human beings.”

“Studies show the opposite. Conservatives give far more to charity than liberals do. They're more willing to voluntarily help others.

“Interesting (i.e., sickening) link to Saddleback Church's www site (Site Keyword Search of Homosexuality):

http://www.saddlebackfamily.com/search/index.html?q=homosexuals&send=Go

One Gem:
I’ve heard it asked, “Isn’t being homosexual something that a person is physically born with?” First of all, there are absolutely no facts to support this claim. From time to time studies have been reported in the news that seemed to indicate this, but every one of these studies has proven to be wrong. Secondly, even if some physical difference were discovered, it would be no excuse for sin. We know that some people can develop a stronger physical addiction to alcohol than others, but that’s obviously no excuse for living an alcoholic lifestyle.

Another:
We are to verify the issues as they line up with scriptures. Pastor Rick recently reminded of the five key issues important to Christian voters this year: (1)Abortion, (2) Stem cell research from embryos, (3) Homosexual marriage, (4) Human cloning, and (5) Euthanasia. A good place to start our preparation is in prayer.

Melissa, you've been duped!”

“Exactly! If these nuts really meant what they said they would be 100% PRO Gay Marriage. Of course the heteros aren't all that great with commitment so maybe they are scared that we would just be better at it.

P.S. I hear straights also have multiple partners. Maybe Warren has never visited a college campus.”

“Warren may be "tolerant" of gays (and even give them doughnuts and water- how nice) and even pleasant to famous gays like Melissa Etheridge but that does not exonerate him from his hateful and hurtful actions and words while working to rip rights from the GLBT community in California. Warren is a two-faced liar and I am sorry Etheridge is so easily fooled by this Christian deceiver. Warren, the Church of LDS and the Pope are firing the first shots in their war against human rights and dignity and I, for one, am ready to take them on. No fawning over those who agree to 'tolerate' - EQUALITY OR NOTHING AT ALL!”

BPCentrisAmerican replied on Dec 23, 2008 at 08:58:22

“The Constitution and the Bill of Rights guarantee the "right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" and it is not up to Rick Warren or anyone else to tolerate anything. What would Jesus do, somehow I don't believe if he returned today he would be seeking Constitutional amendments against his own children. If you believe that God created man in his own image and likeness, than your faith compels you to believe that includes all men and women. There's is no discussion.”

“A major plank of the republican party's platform is telling others how to conduct their private lives. While I believe Bristol and all the underage kids of all the candidates) should be off limits. McCain shouldn't have made that nasty joke about Chelsea - I am sure we would agree. I do judge a MOTHER who is running under the slogan: COUNTRY FIRST when her family (including an pregnant teen and special needs child) clearly needs her to put FAMILY FIRST. No, I don't think that is sexist. How often do we hear of male politicians taking time off to "spend time with family".”
