Romney: healthcare doesn't work because 47 million people....
DON'T WANT TO PLAY.

Yes, he said tonight at the debate. Apparently all those uninsured Americans are simply stubborn. Yeah, that's it, stubborn. Oh, and we have the best health care system in the world, hands down. He said so.

:crazy:

5. I rather call it a disease care system, and yes it is pretty darn good
at what it does... which is "fighting disease". As far as using what is available to help the body work the way it should or could... well, that is another story altogether. Mitt has never been president cuz he didn't want to play. Ta dum dum.

18. Hey, thanks, I needed that, things haven't been a goin' well for me
lately and I don't want to talk about it. Speaking of winds of change, it's been 30 years since I lived through this and I don't miss it one bit.

14. Doesn't he have Federally funded taxpayer health insurance even though he can afford his own?
Damn hypocrites! Congresscritters get what they won't allow us too have, at the very least, Federally funded health care! :argh:

8. Typical Repuke mentality
You can't afford health care? It's YOUR fault!

You can't get a job? It's YOUR fault!

You can't pay the rent? It's YOUR fault!

You can't feed your children? It's YOUR fault!

The list goes on and on.

It's funny ... they say the Democrats love to "blame America first," but they're the ones who blame Americans for everything that's wrong.

15. Mittens is the money-player candidate of choice
Jeb Bush is on his "advisory" council and is primed to be his VP choice - ie. the powers-that-be that control big pharma/oil/nuclear arms/etc.. Watch what Rommey has to say verrry carefully since he is the chosen one. He is our clue to what the Rethugs have in store WHEN they steal 2008....

And that means, NO health care for those who (cough) "don't want to play".

17. That's why we need to mandate them to play
Doesn't it make much more LIBERAL sense to take the position that people cannot afford to play, especially since that's the truth.
