Rush Limbaugh Believes the Poor Don't Deserve Healthcare

Yes, but then there would be no one left working to pay for it. Oh, wait the Fed could buy Treasury Bills and create new money...nevermindthen.

I'm sorry, but if you seriously believe that everyone who works is a conservative, you really need to get out more (and look at what goes on around you, don't just go out and put your fingers in your ears and close your eyes like some people do).

And plus, if we were magically able to get rid of conservatives, I'm pretty sure we could get rid of the Fed too. Or are you trying to stereotype leftists as pro-Fed people? How sad, the Fed is clearly at least a partly-private institution, and corrupt to the bone at that.

You see, it is easier to sponge off others than to get something for yourself. You get to sleep in later too. From where I am sitting, all I see is the greedy underachiever with a bad case of class envy.

I'm not surprised that's all you see from where you're sitting. I suggest sitting somewhere else then.

From where I'm sitting, I can see the greedy unachiever gloating at his success to those who work hard and yet are still fought down by the System. And the ones who work hard sure aren't the conservative ones.

What are you guys calling an emergency? Can you give me an example of what patient complaint can be legally turned away?

Oh, I see. You want to debate an emergency. Wrong tactic. Sure, anyone who goes to the emergency room will probably be seen, at ten times the cost they could be seen by a regular doctor. The point is that the ER is not a good substitute for regular medical care.

Kill Kill Kill,
You notice the first three letters of each word there?

I know a democrat that is very close to me, and this person hates conservatives so much, I think this person would kill if given the chance.

What is interesting to me is that the conservatives have NO PROBLEM war profiteering, and the liberals would be just as aggressive, but they let it stew up inside. Almost like the bully syndrome.
Almost like how the Church keeps the populace down, it seems the conservatives have a stronghold over the liberals in a weird sort of way.

There is more of us than there is of you all. How do you propose to eliminate us?

I believe you would be better off working on your tolerance level for us evil conservatives. We are not going anywhere. :no:

Well, the incredible failure of the recent Bush has required a complete redefinition of what conservatism means and who a conservative is. The McCain/Palin ticket in this last election demonstrated this... "mainstream conservatives" that wanted to distance themselves from Bush couldn't produce a candidate and were forced to love a nutless monkey (and by that I don't mean Palin, but the monkey holding the chalkboard that she reads from).

No, you're going somewhere as conservatives. You've got to realize that it was Bush operating under Reagan's policies that destroyed the economy and liberal principles that are bouncing it back... hopefully, not just in time for some conservative President or Congress (God Forbid!) to screw it up.

I think that if the Democrats maintain control over Congress - which the conservatives are holding out for - it will be quite telling... perhaps the American people will recognize the insanity of conservatism and the GOP will have to modernize and redefine itself in critical ways. Otherwise we risk becoming a one party nation.

Are all "the poor" equally deserving? Is someone who is unwilling to work, but is capable, deserving of being provided for by others?

It is hard to respect anyone or anything that has to do with politics.

What would be respectable is for people to put their neck on the line and really make a difference.

That is absolutely retarded. You won't find any country in the Western world where a majority of people (or even a significant minority) would rather have your system of health care than their own. You're not envied, Rick. From where I'm sitting you're pitied. Yes, even you with your big house and fat paycheck. I pity you because every time you see a doctor it costs you an outrageous pile of cash you could be using (I'm sure) to more personally satisfying ends. If you lived in Canada, we (meaning me and all my compatriots who have less junk and smaller bank accounts than you do) would happily pay for your treatment. Why? Because good old-fashioned Christian charity permeates our culture.

The cream always rises to the top. You can't keep a good man down.

Blame the system all you want. Get in the game for God's sake. Some folks are unwilling to acquire the skills necessary to market themselves successfully.

Think small to be small. Why do folks believe it should be possible to live uneducated and unskilled on minimum wage? Thats a kids job or for someone retired on a pension.

Do I have you all upset yet? You have not seen anything yet.

I believe why many folks suffer is because they have fell from the grace of God. :slap:

A perfect example of thinking small. :rolleyes:

No, they're not. If you have a good method to weed out those who aren't deserving, I'd love to hear it. However, I'd rather everyone be covered including those who don't deserve it than those who don't deserve it not be covered along with many people who do deserve it. Of course, as it is, there are some people who are covered and don't deserve it, and many who aren't covered and do deserve it.
