… and it’s a testament to the continuing reticence of the American media that nobody is asking it: Was Congressman Wilson drunk?

    its about a President and a party claiming that American business wont dump their health benny plans en masse over the next few years

    Except that he didn’t make that claim. He claimed that government won’t force businesses to do so.

    Although funny enough, there seems to be a BIG divide in the GOP between those who think we should stay with a system dominated largely by employer provided health insurance … and those who think that this system should quit being subsidized via government tax benefits so that we evolve to a more pure consumer based system.

    Don’t you remember McCain’s proposals?

    So the more you push this point – which honestly put would be that you believe a federally run private option may incentivize companies dropping their insurance plans by creating a easily accessable public system for their employees to buy into – you have to contend with the basic schizophrenia of drumming up fear over this incentivization … when the Republican Presidential Candidate of the last election cycle was proposing to destroy federal incentives for companies to provide insurance plans.

    When the President is up their addressing the Nation and calling people liars and responding to Op Eds by Sarah Palin the private Citizen from Alaska….you know he has lost the message. Things arent looking up.

    He looked angry instead of hopefilled for changiness, also.

    LOL!

    Nah, Wilson wasn’t drunk. It’s just a special form of Touretts, characterized by random accusations and leaving the “ic” off of “Democratic.”

    So, brianburch, would it be your choice to deliberately let people die at the door of the emergency room?

    I’m pretty sure the Republican position is that if a person cannot produce proof of residency or citizenship when they come into the emergency room, they should be immediately put into detention until the federal marshalls can come take them to a prison to be held until deportation.

    So it’s possible that they would die in detention at the hospital, more likely they would die in prison after the marshalls picked them up, and until deportation could be arranged. Unlikely that they die at the door of the emergency room.

    So is all this supposed to happen before they are treated? And, if so, is that better? What IS the Republican position on letting Mexicans die? Only after they cut our lawns?

    Well, how about this? Stabilize every patient who comes in. Ascertain the citizenship status of every patient who comes in. Then, when they’re out of immediate danger, fingerprint and arrest every single illegal you come across, and deport them. Take the army out of Iraq and use them to patrol the border so that the illegals don’t come back across. And, oh yeah, try to hire a real American to cut your lawn, if you’re too busy to cut it yourself.
