WOW!!!! Krystall Ball Shames GOP -- AWESOME!!!



My favorite part:

The GOP is saying to young people we would like to have the government stick an unnecessary trans-vaginal probe if you want an abortion but when it comes to health insurance don’t take any government help. Don’t go to the state or federal government operated insurance exchanges to buy private insurance. Stay away. Stay uninsured. Skip that pap smear. Skip that tetanus shot. Skip that prenatal care. Skip that cholesterol test. And if you die an agonizing death and unnecessary death; one that could have been prevented by the health insurance reform that bears the President’s name, at least you know your death would have not been in vain. You would have died to serve the noble and patriotic cause, not of conservatism but of hurting this President.

They (Republicans) are willing to destroy themselves, their political future. That they would also encourage young people to go uninsured and risk financial catastrophe and death from preventable disease means that they aren’t just willing to sacrifice their own careers to hurt this President. They would sacrifice the lives of young people if it helped them score political points. That is not Conservative, it is a national disgrace. Republicans, Conservative of conscience, if there was ever a time to take back your party from the forces of anarchy, chaos and insanity, and self-destruction, now is that time.

I actually heard him tell them that "if youre young and healthy why should you have health insurance? I dont have health insurance." Whatever happened to the personal responsibility ideology they always used to preach?

Make a master list of every Republican official, elected or otherwise, who said don't sign up for ObamaCare. It doesn't matter what their office or role is, large or small, because local officials like to run for state and national office later.

When ObamaCare is a proven success, as it will be, then when any of them runs for office, nail them with their own treacherous hateful statements.

If there is a context to the post, it is not located in the Original Post.

Despite making several replies, Mr. MNBrewer has not taken the opportunity to clarify his post.

Perhaps he doesn't like her name?
Or the photo of her as a "naughty santa"?
Or her call for a boycott of Rush Limbaugh advertisers" over Sandra Fluke?
Or her asking her daughter if she "would marry a girl" when she grows up?

Lots there he might not like.

Who is she that would be able to influence Conservatives. She is on MSNBC, how many right wing teabagger women are allowed to watch anything but FOX News? When she shows up on Fox News please let me know, otherwise its called preaching to the choir.

to preface her point. Making sure every American has a fair opportunity to get health care isn't government "intrusion"; it represents the best of what government can do for its citizens. The Republicans' ad unintentionally illustrates the creepiness of government intrusion via vaginal probes.

The GOP is full of shit, like wanting a smaller federal government or that they are 'for the military' which means they are for the MIC.
