If they really think the government can't do anything, including administer an insurance plan...
...then why do they trust the government to hold on to our arsenal of 6,000 nuclear warheads?

2. Good point .....
But it would be lost on the Tea Baggers, they don't know the difference between SS/Medicare and a government plan.

3. Because The Military
controls the weapons, and most of The Right doesn't think the military is part of the government... when they're not in charge. When they're in charge, the only government we HAVE is The Military.

6. Oh, I"m sure they'd privatize that as well. . .
as long as it is a GOP company running the show.

I keep waiting for the teabaggers to explain why they haven't demonstrated in front of any of the major insurance companies. After all, we know that it is undue government influence to REGULATE them as well.

They are the biggest fans of having all power in the "elite". . .centrally controlled profiteering entities in which the consumer has no voice, no vote, no negotiation....and ideally, no CHOICE.

That's what THEY call "freedom."
