Guy who does my sister's lawn--untreated hernia, no insurance, says Obama is going to socialize HC
and he's against it.

What the hell. Just one example; these people are everywhere.

2. You know I'm not really interested in paying extra so this guy
gets health care.

I guess I should feel like I need to force him to take our money, but I don't.

3. Too many are grossly "misunderestimating" the levels of stupid
that we'll have to slog through to attempt to do shit.

Defeat Reaganisim in our time!!!

6. IMO, you've put your finger on something.
Democrats would be well served by diminishing Reagan's legacy. It's not really like the man accomplished anything. Quite the contrary! He was one of the worst Presidents in American history. This should be pointed out time and again.

5. I saw the movie "Hoffa" recently; per it,
blue collars had to be bullied, or worse, into organizing. (I'd be interested in p.o.v.'s fr. historically knowledgeable others.)

8. does he know how much that surgery cost..
and that if he does not get it repaired, it can strangulate and kill him?

I have had 2 hernias and that shit is not cheap.

Since he is against socialism, tell him to stay the fuck off my socialized roads!

9. From what I can tell, he has no plan.
He can't afford to pay for treatment out of pocket. I just don't get it.

10. I know someone like that too...has cataracts, no insurance...
has no money, can't borrow a cup of sugar but will complain because the poor can get treated. They blame the government for their woes. Sometimes you just can't fix stupid.

11. The self-loathing poor, you could call it.
Or perhaps the pretend-rich, numbing their pain by fantasizing that they are or will be more prosperous.

12. You can't engage in a battle of with with unarmed people!
I work at an 800 number, amazing getting all the calls from people saying "I don't want socialized medicine" but they are on Medicare...

14. you know what's sad?
we succeed, and people like him, who fought so hard against it ...

benefit from it ...

Like the Repugniconvicts who scream all about the evils of Social Security ... but if you're late getting them their check ... look out ...
