Wilson’s hypocritical stand on health care
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Kathleen Parker’s defense of Joe Wilson’s venal behavior was absurd. The poor congressperson, victimized by his own psychology according to Parker, “seemed to be shaken”as he left the chamber. The real victims, of course, are the people in his district without health insurance who, if he gets his way, will continue without any chance of a government sponsored program. Of course the great hypocrite Wilson, since he is a retired Army National Guard colonel, is covered for life by excellent free military medical insurance known as Tricare, a much praised government program.

“The real victims, of course, are the people in his district without health insurance who, if he gets his way, will continue without any chance of a government sponsored program”
Why should we worry if the people in his district have a chance at still another ACORN/SEIU boondoggle? And after expending public treasure on it, will he then award it to the UAW for services rendered?
“Of course the great hypocrite Wilson, since he is a retired Army National Guard colonel, is covered for life by excellent free military medical insurance known as Tricare, a much praised government program.”
If you have any information that the uninsured in his district were denied the privilege of serving in the Army National Guard resulting in Tricare, get right back to us.
The real victims are the knuckleheads that believe the gov’ts main purpose is to provide you with everything you have on your Christmas list. The problem is: there is no Santa Claus. The gov’ts purpose is to provide for the common defense, not to provide everything to everyone on someone else’s dime.
Wilson has done nothing but paint the stain of racism that some South Carolinaians have worked very hard on removing from that state. He’s a staunch Confederate type of guy who has a history of this type mind-set.
The racism is boiling over in this country THANKS TO THE POOR LEADERSHIP IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY! Conservative FOOLS!
Now to healthcare reform:
We need a “Public Option” to curtail the Sick for Profit insurance industry!
Coop IS NOT reform, IT IS BOGUS! And every Democrat who vote against the “public option” against Obama’s desires on this should be VOTED OUT OF OFFICE! E-mail these sell-out DEMOCRATS who are in the pockets of the health insurance company and the SIX and tell them that we will not settle for anything less than the “public option”.

The SIX need to go to work for the insurance industry outside of government where they are suppose to be looking out for the best interest of the people!
D–, I have asked this before and never got an answer; how can we protest or disagree with President Obama without being labeled racist?
There is a racist tone in this country but it would seem that white people simply have to take the abuse. With black panthers intimidating people outside voting polls, black singers denigrating the accomplishments of white, young country singers, black athletes sucker punching white athletes or threatening oriental line judges, and, like a pack of hyenas, a group of black students caught on camera on a school bus beating a lone white student, there is no question that racism is alive and well in America.
Si,
Why don’t you just open your blind eyes and see that some things are purely racist. Now don’t go there with me here. This is what I see and a knucklehead like you are not going to change my mind.
Like I have also stated, before this election, I voted Republican many times and even for two, this last election but, it will be a cold day in hell before I EVER vote Republican again, that I can tell you without any doubts. Parker seems reasonable and so does Sarah Steelman and some other Republicans that I have supported. I even voted for Blunt mistakenly.
But, the ones I respect have netter change to Independent before I would dream of voting for them because I have lost ALL any respect that I have ever had for this pathetic Party. I am angry that we do not at least two viable Parties any longer. The Republican Party will never be a viable Party ever again.
Icon,
“If you have any information that the uninsured in his district were denied the privilege of serving in the Army National Guard resulting in Tricare, get right back to us.”
Thank you!!! Tricare isn’t free, just ask the dependents of our fallen. Mr. Bartz is extremely misinformed.
Ognib,
Seeing all this craziness that has been going on in America because Whites cannot accept their Brown President and seeing leaders and supposedly respectful people (politicians) condone all this sick behavior does leave a negative tone in society and that tone cause destructive behaviors on both sides on the coin.
