There is a fucking asshole Repuke on C-Span, railing against S-CHIP...

[Solon]

I think he's said "Socialized Medicine" about 50 times by now. His name is Steve King, and he says that EVERYONE in America has access to health care, what a fucking delusional asshole.

[Justitia]

1. Steve King has "socialized medicine" that WE are fucking paying for, he should give it up. -eom

[malaise]

2. I had to press mute

for my own sake.

[Solon]

5. Did you see the end? He had no audience!

I think he bored everyone else to death.

[malaise]

15. That was funny as hell

He was speaking to the walls.

[Solon]

20. I thought the part after that was even funnier...

Don't know the silver haired guy who was left, but he went to the podium and requested they adjourn for the day, the Speaker then asked if anyone would second the motion, and the same guy said "aye" and they both left the chamber really quick. I didn't know you could second your own motion on the House floor!

[malaise]

26. LOL

one man and his dog :D

[Solon]

22. I'm sure even the walls thought he was an idiot...

thinking they are hoping he leans up against them one day so they can splinter his ass.

[Old and In the Way]

3. Republicans are losing the war on reality....badly.

Question is, can we hang on until 1/09 to return to sanity?

[LSK]

4. Steve King from Iowa

He spews his garbage a lot on CSPAN.

[sallyseven]

24. Republicans are famous for spewing shit

Newtie use to do it all the time.

[Skidmore]

6. As an Iowan, allow me to apologize for the misguided people

in my state that continue to elect that fool.

[Solon]

11. He was completely removed from reality...

It was fucking amazing, the leaps of illogic that he attempted to justify not supporting the S-CHIP bill jumped all over the place. From people dying in line in Canada, to saying that not one person in this country is denied health care. Never seen a single person spew so much bullshit in so short a time, doesn't even compare to Bush the lesser.

[hatrack]

23. Hey, it's District 5

What can you say?

[Richard Steele]

7. We -DO- all have access to healthcare.

In the same sense that we all have "have access to"
Lamborghinis, and solid-gold Rolexes.

All of us are ALLOWED to buy one of those whenever we want,
just like health care!

[Howardx]

8. everyone has "access"

not everyone has the funds to pay. typical weasel words

[Solon]

16. He even went further than that, to new depths of idiocy, saying no one in this country is denied...

medical care, which is outright false. He's either fucking delusional or a pathological liar.

[nonconformist]

9. Everyone, eh? Maybe he means in his privileged family... or his elite circle..

Or maybe he means the emergency room, which is the only option for millions without insurance. Which wastes valuable emergency resources, and taxpayers end up paying for anyway. Preventative care is far cheaper.

These people really make me SICK.

[bobbolink]

10. Actually, Steve Kagin of Wisconsin is a Dem, and rails against "socialized" medicine, also

Very sadly, it isn't all on the RW side.

Plus, Kagen is a DOCTOR, for crying in a bucket, and should KNOW better!

:(

[Jackpine Radical]

17. But he's from somewhere near that gross phallus that sticks out of the

right side of the state, so I guess he can get away with being a dickhead.

[bobbolink]

18. OK, I'm speechless...

:rofl:

[Jackpine Radical]

12. The "party line" is apparently that people can use emergency rooms

if they really need care. iirc even Bush said that once.

I won't dignify that particular idiocy with further commentary.

[ieoeja]

21. And then get sent home to die.

Without insurance they are likely to give you enough emergency care to keep you alive today. A week from now, well... that's a whole other issue.

[JI7]

13. I HATE Repubilcans

watching those assholes on CSPAN and elsewhere just gives me a bad feeling for the rest of the day. i hate their fucking lies.

usually when i watch CSPAN i have to mute when the Republicans come on.

[AuntPatsy]

14. Wow what a shock

[lpbk2713]

19. *... fucking asshole repuke* ... That ought to narrow it down to about 98.2% of em.

[Vinca]

25. I turned him off right after he said the issue wasn't whether kids

would get health care, but whether they would get health insurance. He says they'll always get health care. What planet is this guy on? 18,000 people die each year because they can't get health CARE because they can't afford health insurance.

[upi402]

27. There is no other type of Republican now!

fuggin' A

[proud patriot]

28. The Hypocrisy is Astounding

:wow:
