The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

Oh good lord....where did I say any such thing? All I did is say it is offensive to compare opposition to this particular health care reform bill to opposition to the abolishment of slaery or denying women the vote. Geez. Get off it. NOWHERE did I say nor did I even suggest that I am more deserving than you.

Does your situation suck? Yeah, it does. Does that mean I have to think this particular way of going about health care reform is great or I am like someone who doesn't think slavery is that bad?

THAT, Betty, is what is offensive.

Don't pretend you know me or what I have been through in my life. I happened to have been one of those kids like yours when I was growing up.

We've been through this before and I believe you said something along the lines that there wouldn't be enough doctors for you if everyone gets health care... you would have to wait too long... etc...

And frankly - I think access to health care IS up there with voting and slavery. After all - you can't vote if you're dead.
