1. I've been wondering lately what it would be like

if we had someone like George Takei as president. The possibilities would be endless.

10. Oh My!

I would love to hear him say that at the State of the Union.

11. No doubt ... that'd be sweet ...

And let me also just say, I feel like your sig pics should be accompanied by the Sesame Street song 'One of the These Things Is Not Like the Others' ...

2. They can have access to insurance!

They just need to get off their asses and make enough money to afford a $25,000/year premium. That's all.

6. What are these accusations the Dumpty admin keeps make about people being lazy...

...we're talking about the mentally ill, the elderly, people on drugs, people with chronic debilitating illnesses, they can't work. Evidently the rethugs are all perfect and their families are perfect and none of them ever had any adverse illnesses or have known someone with one. Do these rethugs live in the real world??? GAAAAH

12. Their healthcare needs are all taken care of...

... Thanks to you, the generous tax payer !

7. Maybe..

They can use their guns to rob a bank to pay for their insurance!

8. I wish somebody would take these people to task for that word: "access."

And that goes not only for the CONS and their talking points, but also newspeople confronting them about this mess.

Hell, I have "access" to all the prime rib I want, whenever I go to that kind of restaurant. Ooooooh, "ACCESS"! Oh, that precious marvelous wonderful "ACCESS". Yep, I can sure see it on the menu, and in some cases see it displayed in the chef's area. I can look at it all I want. I can see platters of it being served at tables all over the dining room. All day long. But if I only have enough money on me for a plain burger, I'm sure not gonna be eating any prime rib, no matter what the "access" to it might be or how it might somehow work out in my favor.

I wish somebody would probe these jackasses on this point.

9. They can always get a gun and go rob a bank.

Provided they 're crazy enough.

3. Good point. We have entered Wacko World.

But of course, the reason why is....one costs rich people money, the other ADDS to their coffers in the form of the NRA contributions. Anything that results in a rich man getting more moeny = what these Republicans are all about.

4. Good one :) n/t

Thank you, Mr. Takei, for your continued efforts.
