Trouble is, the wrong people are being targeted for death

How much do you have to want something that you're willing to frighten old people, keep dying children from getting help, and can sit by while thousands of families collapse in financial ruins you could have prevented?

The answer is you have to want something as bad as the Republicans want to get back into power. Because that's exactly what they're doing by spreading rumors that the universal health care plan is really a plot to kill old people because, you know, they're such a drag on the economy--not to mention being bores at parties.

When I first heard this, I couldn't believe it wasn't a joke--something the Democrats would say about Republicans, all in good jest because it's so obviooulsy untrue.  But no! The Republicans are actually spreading this lie. And some people are either being taken in by the lie or claiming to believe it to give it more credibility;.

When last night I saw news video of the Republican latest tactic--people shouting down a cabinet member and U.S. senator who were trying to explain the health plan. The idea is to make it seem that there is a grass-roots movement against the health plan. But it's all as  phony as a wrestling match between Georgeous George and Ivan the Terrible, These "demonstrations" are organized by the same people who brought you the recent tea parties -- you know, the ones that were about as exciting as a real tea social. And masterminding it all is Dick Armey, whose name really says it all.

This is all not a joke. Because of what these people are doing, real old people are going to die before their time--along with real children, and real young adults, people  who either can't afford health insurance or whom the insurance companies refuse to cover because it might cut into profits.

How sick, in the mental sense, and how greedy and how power hungry must          some one be to block a plan that would same lives and pull the United States out of third-world status? 

I don't know. I can't really imagine what such people are like inside their mouldering souls. I just can't imagine.
