I don’t know about you, but I voted FOR health care reform, among other things. Folks that agree with me WON those votes, so why are Republicans so against democracy?

A View of the American Political Spectrum
A not-too off the mark look at the political views in this country.

We already know that Cheney and his shithead family and followers are deranged bastards. Here’s more proof.
Right-wing media set sights on family of 11-year-old who spoke about his mother’s death at health care event | Media Matters for America
Honestly, if you endorse the Lush Rimjobs and Michelle Malkins and BecKKKs of this world when they attack 11 year old kids then I really don’t want to know you anymore.
You’re as filthy as those bastards who traffic in this kind of crap.

CNN Political Ticker:Reid’s wife and daughter in car accident
I hope Harry Reid’s wife and daughter all the best after their bad car accident. I was going to use this story and a Politico one to point out how cruel and evil conservative commenters are.
Our local Vegas papers turned off the comments almost immediately. CNN and Politico neutered and filtered their comments, taking out not just the truly odious ones but even the marginally poor taste ones.
I’d argue we need those comments to stay intact. We need to know how dirty some Republicans can get. How evil, how contrary to the myth of “compassionate conservatism”. How truly anti-family they are.
The more we let the bastards off the hook, the worse they get. Reference any of the Cheney family for an example of this.
Op-Ed Columnist – Health Reform Myths – NYTimes.com
“The only part of health care in which there isn’t already a lot of federal intervention is the market in which individuals who can’t get employment-based coverage buy their own insurance. And that market, in case you hadn’t noticed, is a disaster — no coverage for people with pre-existing medical conditions, coverage dropped when you get sick, and huge premium increases in the middle of an economic crisis. It’s this sector, plus the plight of Americans with no insurance at all, that reform aims to fix. What’s wrong with that?”
Krugman keeps talking sense about health care reform. None of this helps when Republicans keep making shit up and believing outright lies, but oh well.

Apparently all those “family values” and “abstinence” aren’t working out so well in the Rethug states.

Texas Hearing Considers Deeper Conservative Stamp on Textbooks – NYTimes.com
You can vote them out of office, but the douchebag conservatives in Texas still want to teach our nation’s children lies and make them stupid for Hate Jesus.
