If all 47 million of the uninsured died tonight
most Republicans wouldn't shed a tear. They have zero sense of responsibility toward other Americans, zero compassion and empathy, and zero understanding of the health care situation facing the whole country.

Their mantra continues to be: "I got mine, fuck you." (In Jesus' name, of course).

1. And they'd proclaim that there was no longer a need for health care reform
because only Americans with personal responsibility would be left.
:sarcasm:

2. They are already complaining that they will have to wait in line
if we insure everyone. "47 million more people waiting to see doctors it's horrible". Dumb as a box of rocks.

3. They wouldn't have burial insurance, either.
And the GOP would still rejoice at the death of millions who would more likely vote for Dems than Rethugs.

4. That fucker Tom Latham (aka Rep. Steve King's even slower-witted little brother)
STILL insists the "real number" of uninsured is "only" around 10 million!

7. Oh the RWers would notice alright.
Their maids and gardeners would be gone. Not to mention all that cheap labor that they rely on to run their businesses.

8. They'd blame Obama and be crying all over the place.
If Glenn Beck is an example it doesn't take much to move them to tears.

9. But they'd sure bloody miss us.
No one to cook, make your coffee or maintain your landscape. No one to sit around the quickie mart to make sure you can shop conviently. No one to dust your china, clean your floor, and watch your little darlings 'cause godforbid the nanny/aupair girl takes a day off even for death.

Frankly, I'd love to see them have to fend for themselves, although I'd be gone so I guess I'll miss out on even that satisfaction.
