why the GOP finds millions of Americans getting access to health care coverage more offensive than say, shoveling trillions of dollars into destroying, occupying, and "rebuilding" Iraq and sending thousands of American troops to be maimed and killed all the while accomplishing absolutely nothing other than the removal of a single tinpot dictator and his degraded regime.
