Proverbs 31
4It is not for kings, O Lemuel—
not for kings to drink wine,
not for rulers to crave beer,

5 lest they drink and forget what the law decrees,
and deprive all the oppressed of their rights.

6 Give beer to those who are perishing,
wine to those who are in anguish;

7 let them drink and forget their poverty
and remember their misery no more.

8 “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
for the rights of all who are destitute.

I believe the only way to convince the right wing nut jobs to agree to the terms of universal health care is to find scriptures in the bible that would suggest that this is what jesus wants us to do. I mean it worked back in the 1800's to slaughter native americans and call it "Manifest Destiny". If you can convince Republicans that it is god's will, then there would be no arguement.

How about name calling by the Republicans! When Republicans call President Obama a Socialist or compare him to Hitler, the Republican's are the leaders of Name Calling! Republicans are the party of NO, not a party of solutions. If the Republicans can do it better, then why don't you have any ideas? Why not share with us YOUR Right Wing Conservative Solution? It's because you have no ideas-except cutting taxes! Not even the beloved President Reagan cut as much taxes as President Bush-and yet 6 months before he left office we had the worst economy we've seen since the Depression (1929). I am 34 years old, laid off from the Mortgage Company, and I have a pre-existing condition. I can't get Kobra because my company went out of business. I can't get individual health insurance because I have a pre-existing condition! What is your answer for me? Tough? I need reconstructive surgery on my arm so that I can use my arm yet I can't get it because I can't get insurance? I feel that America (republicans) don't care about me because you won't let me get affordable health insurance. Am I correct? Name calling by the Democrats? How about name calling by the Republicans!
