THE issue that separates the truly compassionate from the liars

Ask them, ask the politicians and your neighbors, and anyone you meet... about "nanny state socialism" that would allow us ALL to live with health care.
Health care is a basic human right. If we need to write it into the Bill of Rights, then let's do it.
Any politician or voter who paints themself as "compassionate" needs to be on the correct side of this issue.
It is a litmus test.

Meanwhile, census figures reveal that this year two and two tenths million (2.2 million) more Americans entered the rank of uninsured just in one year, up to an unprecedented 47 million uninsured.
You call this first in the world?

I say we self-described compassionate ones have not followed the Golden Rule or the Sermon on the Mount, or loved our own brothers as we love ourselves.
This is third world behavior, folks. Dog eating dog.
The triumph of capitalism, indeed.
You ought to be ashamed, America.

Get this folks, one million of these newly uninsured are full time workers.
Where's their American Dream, America?

And this should kill ya, if you have a conscience, folks. The number of newly uninsured children rose by 600,000.
Why is any child in America being left behind?
How can we say "equal opportunity for all" when some are being hobbled from birth?
Children, America.
Eleven percent of the children in America are not covered by health insurance.
You ought to be ashamed.

Are we in a race to the bottom?
How can you still support these lying clowns in our political leadership?
Or should I characterize them as wolves, human wolves.

But hope dies last: Kucinich and Edwards are both talking seriously of what Senator Cornyn called "the mythical little guy." We ain't mythical, and we would be the big guy if we got together on this one. Fairness, it should begin at conception.
