So if you're a fetus or brain dead, we care
Edited on Mon Mar-21-05 02:12 AM by nothingshocksmeanymo
If you're one of the millions of kids living in poverty we don't. If you're an older or ill American and can't afford your meds for diabetes and hypertension we could give a flying fuck about you.

If you're a disabled American, we'll call you a special interest when it comes time to talk about the Americans with Disabilities act, or tell you you aren't one of the "productive citizens" when it's time to talk "entitlement programs."

If you're one of the 2 out of 5 children who is eligible for HEADSTART but won't get it because the program is underfunded, well...fuck off kid.

But if you are brain dead or a fetus...we care...really...we do

there is money involved or it plays to the base. They pay (govt.) you die, they make news or money they fight for you to live. Of course they also need their cannon fodder. Welcome to Bushworld. If the Dem's are smart they can run away with this one. They are so many angles they can play up.
