First of all, save your slimy IBD cartoons for your fukking fantasy life. I am sick to death of the right's substandard, lying media outlets....not one of which has ever won an award of any substance and sees its job as scaring the country. As for your ideological position on health insurance and me, let me make my response very, very clear to you. I have been paying taxes my entire life. I have worked my ass off since I was 12.......nothing has ever been given to me. A portion of those taxes paid from my hard earned money have been used by the federal gov't to carry your crummy, poor ass state and losers like you. Meanwhile you all don't pay state income taxes and keep your sales taxes low while poaching industry from blue states. Why do you poach? Well let's call a spade a spade since we are being so honest. Arkansas and assholes like you aren't smart enough to develop anything more sophisticated than a crummy walmart that is made up of more assholes like you. In the meantime, you all spend federal money on wars like its candy in order to satisfy your sick craving for bombs and mayhem and military pomp. Well, freeloader, I have had enough. Secede your sick and freeloading ass out of the Union. I want you assholes to stand on your two feet. I don't want to have to carry your lying asses any more. Let's see how long you creeps survive. Oh and let me add..........a pox on your fukking house and your entire family. What happened to me may double happen to David asshole Ray and his family. A pox on all of you! One last word, asshole...........your defense of the 'poor' health insurance companies is nothing short of pathetic. I posted here some of the outrageous salaries the CEOs of these asshole companies are making. And yet, you sit there like the idiot savant that you are and defend their expenditures like they are so reasonable. You are a fool......a freeloading, slimy fool. I don't think I have ever met someone quite as pathetic and stupid and naive as you.

I wonder how often you slimy, sleazy pus bags eat your young. Report: Cheney Says Bush Went Soft WASHINGTON (Aug. 13) - Former Vice President Dick Cheney believes his old boss, President George W. Bush, gradually turned away from his advice during their second term in the White House, showing a surprising independence as he started taking more flexible positions on a range of issues, The Washington Post reported Wednesday. Cheney, often described as the most influential vice president in U.S. history, has been discussing his years in office in informal talks with authors, diplomats, policy experts and past colleagues, the Post said, as he works on a memoir due out in 2011 from Simon & Schuster's Threshold Editions. Robert Barnett, who negotiated Cheney's book contract, passed word to potential publishers that the memoir would be packed with news, said the article published on the Post Web site, and Cheney himself has said, without explanation, that "the statute of limitations has expired" on many of his secrets. The book will cover Cheney's long career from chief of staff under President Gerald Ford to vice president under Bush. "When the president made decisions that I didn't agree with, I still supported him and didn't go out and undercut him," Cheney said, according to Stephen Hayes, his authorized biographer. "Now we're talking about after we've left office. I have strong feelings about what happened. ... And I don't have any reason not to forthrightly express those views." According to the author of the Post piece, Barton Gellman, who earlier wrote a book on Cheney called "Angler," the former vice president believes Bush made concessions to public sentiment, something Cheney views as moral weakness. After years of praising Bush as a man of resolve, Cheney now intimates that the former president turned out to be more like an ordinary politician in the end, Gellman says. "In the second term, he felt Bush was moving away from him," Gellman quoted a participant in the recent gathering, describing Cheney's reply. "He said Bush was shackled by the public reaction and the criticism he took. Bush was more malleable to that. The implication was that Bush had gone soft on him, or rather Bush had hardened against Cheney's advice. He'd showed an independence that Cheney didn't see coming." The Post quoted John P. Hannah, Cheney's second-term national security adviser, as saying Cheney remains driven, now as before, by the possibility of terrorists obtaining nuclear weapons from a nation hostile to the U.S. What is new, Hannah said, is Cheney's readiness to acknowledge "doubts about the main channels of American policy during the last few years," a period encompassing most of Bush's second term.
