This douchebag on MSNBC just said "If you don't have a job you dont have to worry about healthcare"
Edited on Fri Nov-06-09 07:07 PM by no limit
This was used as an argument as to why we don't need a healthcare bill instead we need tax credits for the rich to create jobs.

How absolutely insane are these people? And this was on the ed show; I can't believe nobody challened him on this. When you don't have a job one of your biggest concerns is healthcare since if you get sick you are SOL.

On edit: The guy who said it was class A asshole Ron Christie.

7. I don't understand why the hosts
of these shows don't call the people on these statements. BUSH CUT TAXES FOR THE RICH for his whole eight years. Tell me, where are all the jobs these tax breaks created..I want to know where the trickle down effect went, to Mexico, India, China must be cause that's where the jobs went. It sure trickled didn't it.

11. that was that piece of shit ,cross-eyed, Pug bastard Ron Christie
He also said the hate-fest yesterday was just a bunch of ordinary "Americans getting together voicing their opinion."
bullshit...it was all choreographed by their "handlers".
The majority of those in attendance are "the stoopid".
He had the balls to say Code Pink was sanctioned by the Dems. Bullshit rat-fucker.

12. They cannot think - they can only endlessly parrot their talking points
Rich is good.
Poor is bad.

13. Ron Christie should have said this
If you don't have a job you don't have to worry about healthcare, because you will not live long anyway.

and be done with it. Because even with this farce of a health care reform bill, it would not change the fact that even people with minimum wage jobs can't get health insurance
