Mrs. Carvell put it on the table...

[WCGreen]

The GOP doesn't view Basic Health Care as a right.

That's it.

No if ands or buts about it.

Health Care is not a right.

[uponit7771]

1. Somehow dems need to translate that into a campaign slogan

[WCGreen]

4. The Republicans don't think you have a right to decent health care...

Simple.

[monmouth]

6. But it's just fine and dandy to send you or your kid to war....sigh..n/t

[goclark]

10. Did she actually say that ~ I know she thinks that

but did you forget the quotes?

[NOLALady]

18. Something to the effect

that liberals think health care is a right for Americans.

[kenfrequed]

16. Republicans want you to die.

Hmm maybe thats a bit too hyperbolic.


Give them a picture of the republicans that opposed healthcare and label it "America's real death panel"

[SoCalDem]

2. Republicans are careless

careless with your money
careless about your health

[WeDidIt]

3. Owning a gun is a right

Have a bullet removed from your gut is a responsibility.

:wtf:

[SallyMander]

15. Nice

Well said!

[Vinca]

5. God she's a miserable creature.

[gateley]

7. That's it. We consider it a right, they consider it a "responsibility". They have

no compassion for their fellow human beings. I'm truly speechless that they're that heartless -- and not the least bit ashamed.

[DearAbby]

25. It was most blatant

GOP cares more about Corporate profits than they do a Human life. Came over Crystal clear.

[YOY]

8. and this is why they are miserable nasty cretins who cling to their version of the flag.

n.t.

[HughMoran]

9. Of course they don't

Only those well-off should have good healthcare

[City Lights]

11. Strip it from Congress then. They certainly haven't earned it.

Fuck republicans.

[blm]

12. GOP logic: Gun-owning is a right, but, if you're a victim of a gunshot you've no right to healthcare

.

[SallyMander]

13. Are you talking about Mary Matalin?

I'm no big fan of hers, but why refer to her as "Mrs. Carvell" (sic)? It seems a bit sexist to me to insist on identifying her based on who her husband is. I didn't take my husband's name, and my opinions are mine, not his.

[WCGreen]

19. I just can't bear to type her name....

[SallyMander]

20. LOL!

Well in that case, we need to come up with an alias... :think: :evilgrin:

[WCGreen]

23. The one and only Dragon Lady....

[catzies]

26. But...I thought that was Maureen Dowd....these labels are so confusing

:shrug:

[catzies]

27. Sorry for the dupe

[mitchum]

32. In that case, Ms Hatchetface would be appropriate for her

[polmaven]

21. Thank you, Sally.

I was thinking the same thing. Women don't simply become an extension of their husbands when they marry.

[SallyMander]

24. I don't think that was WCGreen's intent

But it is one of my pet peeves. If a woman wants to take her husband's name, that's great. If not, also great. It should be her choice, and she should be referred to the way that she wants.

:hi:

[WCGreen]

30. I told Mrs. WCGreen that she was under no obligation to me to take my name...

It really makes no difference to me. It was her choice.

She picked Mrs WCGreen...

[mitchum]

31. I agree; that's why I always refer to her scumbag husband as "Mr Matalin"

[demosincebirth]

33. good for you

[coti]

14. They're wrong, and I'd consider that a "self-evident" truth.

It's even written into the Declaration of Independence- we are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, and one of those is life itself. That's not so because the government says it is, either. The right comes to us from a higher power. Addressing such a vague, ideological question, the answer is very clear.

Of course, when issues get narrowed down, things become more complicated. ;)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. But it is a right......for them.

Not for us...

According to them, anyway.


Scum-sucking bottom dwellers...

All of 'em.

[Cass]

22. McCain also said the same thing during one of the presidential debates.

:puke:

[Barack_America]

28. The GOP thinks this country belongs to the rich....

....and the rest of us should be thankful they allow us to live here and work to build their wealth.

[JHB]

29. It's more than that...

They don't even think it's a good idea.

[spanone]

34. no, but they certainly think that profiting from health care is a right
