Hillary blasted 25 year-olds for dropping health insurance. The same 25 year-olds for whom insurance rates doubled and tripled when the Democrats implemented community rating

Les, I think this is a problem with scale. This 25 year old insurance rates issue is a real hot button with me and I remember when Hillary did that and I didnt like it. But you have got to admit that making a statement like "25 year olds are freeloading off the system" (which was effectively what she said) is entirely different than basing an entire campaign on family values where whole groups are demonized and blamed for a myriad of unrelated problems. FWIW Chris Matthews who is a SF guy and a liberal is always talking about the decline of the family as the root of all evil on his show and I dont like him doing it either.

Just barely recall this but didn't Hill get some static for owning a fund that was shorting some of these companies she blasted?
