        You know you're getting old when you can look at a sexxy looking girl in a mini and you say "I remember when that used to make my winky stir!"

  At least the guy didn't cop to the lie, in fact he seemed to say that wasn't it. But the apocryphal, I have friends with socialized medicine and ... they're not economically viable...
  The stews forgot to ask for any specifics but that's not unusual. Were his friends on Medicare not getting treatment or doesn't he have any?

  Government is inneficient about anything they do ? whoa there nobody cowboy ( your name does not register on google ). Does shock and awe and bombing Baghdad mean anything ? Patriot Act ring a bell ? You are old enough to remember the Manhattan Project, right ? Medicare and Medicaid mean anything to you ? Does an american citizen win the Nobel prize just because it is an american turn to win ? Doesn't the United states make it possible for that to happen ? What about the moon landing, or even more spectacularly, the engineers at NASA bringing back Apollo 13 from certain demise ? You are a crazy old nobody phart.

  This is an utter and complete disgrace!
  
  I would be willing to bet everything I own to say that this "Richard Lupia" WAS PAID MONEY by some part of the health care insurance industry to go on to Fox, make these false claims he makes here, and to cut up his card for no other reason than having hopes that many of the old-timers that watch Fox-Noise (who will not or have not been paid) to cut their AARP cards and drop from the AARP program and then fall prey to the free market that does NOT give a damn about them as individuals, but only sees them as consumers to live and die in the name of profits!
  
  Thank God my mom, grandma, and in-laws are not stupid enough to fall for this pathetic sickness!

  The ignorance and stupidity of the typical faux teabagger just found a new low to sink to. Comical.

  To Americans, healthcare is a serious issue. To Fox & Wingnut Friends, is a sideshow act used to prop up their pathetic party's standing in the polls. Nothing more, nothing less.
  
  While the elitist GOP plays games, the people suffer.

    That's a big 10-4. No wonder Boehner didn't have enough time to read the stimulus package when it was released.
