John McCain on Health Care
McCain is going on in the Senate right now on the topic of mammograms. He is "concerned" about how many women would have died if they had waited until age 50 for their first mammogram. I don't remember hearing him talk about how many people die because they don't have health insurance. Where is the logic and reasoning? And why isn't the hypocricy discussed more from our side?

1. And that prick has had Government Health Care his whole life.
His daddy was an Admiral, so Johnny boy has been on the U.S. Government Health Care Plan his whole life, but he says it's not good enough for the rest of America.

2. My guess: he personally knows breast cancer survivors...
That's the GOP's version of "empathy" -- if they or somebody they know is personally affected by an issue, then it becomes real.

3. You are right. Thanks for picking up on the hypocrisy.
