Edwards: “They want to shut me up”
*** begin quote ***
This stuff’s not an accident. Nobody in this room should think this is an accident. You know, I’m out there speaking up for universal healthcare, ending this war in Iraq, speaking up for the poor. They want to shut me up. That’s what this is about. “Let’s distract from people who don’t have health care coverage. Let’s distract from people who can’t feed their children…. Let’s talk about this silly frivolous nothing stuff so that America won’t pay attention.”
They will never silence me. Never.
If we don’t stand up to these people, if we don’t fight em, if we don’t beat them, they’re going to continue to control this country. Thye’re going to control the media. They’re going to control what’s being said. They do not want to hear us talking about health care for everybody.
*** end quote ***
“Universalhealthcare”!?!
Please a tax funded boobdoggle (Not just an ordinary boodoggle! This appeals to boobs who can’t see the “barbara streisand” he’s peddling!) boon to the medical establishment, gooferment bureaucrats of all shapes ‘n’ sizes, and the trial lawyers.
The Soviet Union demonstrated how well <insert favorite service> can be delivered by the gooferment. Examine how well the Post Office delivers mail. Is the VA the exemplar of how the gooferment will provide you health care. We already have working examples about how everyday health care will be delivered by the gooferment — Medicare and Medicaid. We already have examples of “universal healthcare” Canada, England, and Australia.
No, “universal healthcare” is an attempt by the politicians, who created the problem with various laws, to convince us to let them “solve” it.
Shut up and sit down, Senator.
You’ve contributed to the mess, voted for the war, and gotten some expensive hair cuts.
You are a joke. Time for you to get a real job.
