      The US Constitution's a socialist document.

      Many of Karl Marx's ideas are currently practiced by the US.

      Next.

      No, O'Racist, the public option is about health care for Americans and you and your pathetic and myopic audience are poster boys for inbreeding.

      Slighly OT, but I just read that 60,000 seniors quit AARP because of their support for Obama's health care plan. Not surprisingly is the fact that not one of them gave up their government provided medicare.

        The approximately 60,000 number represents members who specifically cited AARP's stance on the health overhaul debate in canceling their membership between July 1 and mid-August, Nannis said. He said that on average AARP loses some 300,000 members a month, but he couldn't say how many more members had quit for other reasons in that time period.

        He said AARP gained some 400,000 new members during the same period and that 1.5 million members renewed their membership.

          I would imagine the AARP would suffer quite a turnover anyway...and not too many re-enrollments.....

            Many people quit AARP when they discover it's really just another insurance company.

      I get the feeling that if a right wing ideologue saw a man drowning he wouldn't throw him a rope because people have to take repsonsibility for themselves.

      If a program works to effectively cure a problem and to make life better for more Americans what does it matter what that program is called? Who cares if it is a socialism-like program if it works...? Medicare is socialism.

        Unless you're Dick Armey. Then Medicare is tyranny.

      Wow the irony of listening to someone who makes 20 million a year talk about the perils of transferring money from the affluent to the poor.

      and bill o'reilly is the poster boy for misinformed, illiterate ego filled blowhards who think they know everything about anything and can tell people what to do and what to think.

      great role model, arent you, billy? krugman and dr. dean can wipe the floor with you with one hand tied behind their backs.
