Why do Repukes laugh at death, destruction, and terrible things?
I am watching Mike Leavitt of *'s Health and Human Services on George Stepanopulous' show watch a segment of seniors who cannot understand the drug "benefit", how confusing it is, etc.

One older woman spends over 22 grand/month on meds and has no idea what to do.

This is serious shit to them. Life or death.

So, at the end of the segment they show another older man saying that the drug "benefit" is "gobblydegook."

They cut back to Leavitt's interview, and the fuck is laughing at what the old man is saying. Laughing with a happy ole grin on his face.

He's laughing at the seniors' fears and concerns.

:wtf: is wrong with this country and with voters??? Even George is smiling at the hilarity of confusion and fear.

people's faces.

6. Just getting rid of those useless old people.
They're sucking the country dry with their Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid. Let 'em screw up their insanely complex drug benefit so they can't get their medicine and they croak. If you're sucking off the almighty taxpayer's teat we don't want you.

That's the Republican way, isn't it?

And yes, it's because they're evil.

9. It's the same for poor children and the handicapped
Edited on Sun Dec-11-05 12:00 PM by DaveTheWave
Unless you are earning a pay check, paying taxes, paying their salaries, sending them contributions whether due to age or health, they have no use for you except on election day.
The benefits for poor children, the handicapped and the elderly in this wealthy nation is unacceptable and I'm tired of hearing how much better we have it than the other developed nations. Nearly all of the other developed nations have socialized health care but not the US and that's a bunch of crap. It's pathetic that even a poor communist dictatorship like Cuba has free health care for it's citizens but our so called free and wealthy society refuses to do so for it's own.

10. My repug boss
(who just laid me off last week) is fond of saying... "You can't sympathize with your employees, but you can empathize" In a fatherly tone, no less.

After working for that man for 4 years, it's my opinion that he needs to look up Empathy in the dictionary.

16. Let's hope he loses his job too.
"Suffer the death of thy neighbor."

more "Christians" need to re-read that particular passage and learn from it.

Survival of the fittest, I guess.

14. Lack of empathy
You have to instill it in little kids when they are small. If they don't get it; they grow up to be heartless bastards like Leavitt.
