Jon Kyl (R)said," War is a necessity, health care is not."

[Bravo Zulu]

" Kyl says that you can't "win a war on the cheap," which didn't stop him from supporting the War in Iraq, which was designed with "on the cheap" in mind, and he didn't try to keep focus on Afghanistan when he could have, which helped to squander the money invested there. Meanwhile, what about people who die, right here, at home. Kyl says, "I'm not sure that it's a fact that more and more people die because they don't have health insurance." But you know what just KILLS Kyl? The deficits. Not the deficits that Americans face when it comes time to choose between bankruptcy and homelessness and staying alive. The deficits he helped to run up because WARS CAN NEVER BE DEFICIT NEUTRAL.

[SpiralHawk]

2. ...and there, my fellow Americans, you have Republiconism in a NUTshell

Ignorance is strength
Freedom is slavery
Poverty is wealth
(only, of course, for you pathetic Proles, and not at all for us fatcat 'elite' Republicon Homelanders. Smirk.)

14. Nice poster, SpiralHawk.

4. oh well....he`ll be relected.

[Deja Q]

5. So let him enlist.

betcha that'll never happen...

[SpiralHawk]

8. Republicons have a tradition of Chickenhawkery to uphold

Virtually all of their 'leaders,' and all of their overpaid, blow-dry corporate media propaganda spokesunits, are bigmouth chickenhawks.

So it is highly unlikely that one of them will spoil this skankulous Republicon tradition and actually join up to serve the United States of America in some capacity.

32. Checked him out on Wikipedia - No military service for ol' Kyl.

6. you are joking, right? PLEASE tell me you are joking.. .

7. Guess what? Rugs aren't a necessity, either

9. Fuck you, Kyl.

What an asshole.

[crim son]

10. It is virtually impossible to be more wrong.

Unfortunately there are millions of people just as stupid as he is.

[roody]

11. I hope he is about to give his health insurance to

someone who does not have any.

[TicketyBoo]

15. I had the same thought.

Or maybe, on principle, he should give up his own health care, since "it isn't necessary."

[Journeyman]

12. Well of course -- people on the skids will pull and scrape to pay for health care. . .

but no one voluntarily sends their pennies to help pulverize people.

From a tax base viewpoint, war becomes a "necessity" because money can be extorted for it through the IRS, while money for health care will be voluntarily forthcoming from every citizen willing to hock their future to keep a loved one alive.

[Canuckistanian]

13. What an ugly, ugly world he lives in

Killing is good, healing is optional.

He's the true definition of an amoral man.

[dhpgetsit]

16. Can I sever his artery

and deny him health care?

[bridgit]

17. Well this is how insane the cheney/bush doctrine was and now Kyl among the last...

to offer public aid & comfort to violent foreign & domestic republican ravings: declare a war of choice, toss everybody in bloody them up, squander innocent blood & hard earned treasure for generations to come then declare "war is a necessity, health care is not" - the disassociation of republicans is unfathomable it knows no bounds or depth

[MisterP]

18. how 1910s militarist; we knew all along they were Social Darwinists nt

[Cleobulus]

19. Health Care is a necessity, Jon Kyl is not, kick his ass out of Congress! n/t

20. What a disgusting excuse for a human being. nt

[Texasgal]

21. Christ on a cracker!

What a fucking LOON!

[HughMoran]

22. Nothing to see here - all Republicans are ignorant selfish unthinking morons

What a pathetic fool Kyl is.

[BootinUp]

23. Some people either weren't raised right or

have a very strong caveman gene factor. Someday we'll figure it out.

[HughBeaumont]

24. War's profitable. Helping people isn't.

Corporatists Mantra.

25. Succinct, to the point, and exactly the difference between Dems and Repukes. n/t

26. When you use quotation marks, it ought to be a quote, not your interpretation.

[Bravo Zulu]

30. Sorry about that,

I just copied and pasted it!

[Stevenmarc]

27. Well next time he gets sick, drop him in Iraq

[Odin2005]

28. Wow. That is a sick, sick, puppy.

:puke:

[BREMPRO]

29. wow! a phrase that captures the soulless Republican Party more than any other i've heard.

"War is a necessity, health care is not."

given the "wars" of choice for oil we've been in lately, and that people OBVIOUSLY need health care as a basic necessity of life, this is an appalling statement, and revealing of a state of moral depravity in Kyl, even if it's out of context.

says it all...

[Brigid]

31. They are all morally bankrupt.

And not bothering to hide it anymore.
