2. Words spoken by someone who will never have to go
without healthcare for himself or his loved ones.

3. What a douchebag
This guy and his crowd ... There's billions for unneeded wars, bank bailouts, etc. but nothing for taking care of citizens, i.e. promote the general welfare.

What a bunch of whiny a$$ corporatists!!

7. The things you list are perfect examples of "funding risk" which is what he says he wants!
I think we've had enough funding risk. Let the gamblers do that.

4. Is Mr. Card comparing health care to the war in Iraq?
That was a want rather than a need, only it was the tin-horned dictators in the White House who wanted it and the people who didn't.

5. Just shows what a moron he is....
Can't make the connection between our dismal health care situation (I wouldn't even call it a system) and its effect on the current economic situation.

6. Maybe he's right ...
While I may WANT to live, do I really need to live?

8. "The country doesn't know what's it's buying..."
Did the jerkoff REALLY say that?

The guy who helped run the selling of the war to Iraq, the single largest fraud (so far) in the history of this country and he sits there and passes judgment like that upon people who are SUFFERING....

:banghead:

12. WE want a cure for health care in America !!!
Affordable health care won't do much good until we demand a higher standard of health care. http://www.wisecountyissues.com In East Tennessee, Profit care comes ahead of Patient care.

14. Republican as simplistic thinkers
As I listen to the economists, they talk about the link between health care and the problems of small business. Many small businesses close or stop paying for health care because of the increase in costs. Almost all of the so called gains in income to the middle class are actually increases in cost of health care. Card obviously doesn't seem to understand how the rising cost of health care is large part of the problem with the economy. If we don't fix health care, we don't fix the economy.

15. I hate to use the kind of language but I just can't help it.
WHAT THE FUCK DO THESE PEOPLE WANT PEOPLE WHO WANT HEALTH CARE WANT TO WORK AND CAN'T FIND A JOB YET THEY WANT AND NEED HEALTH CARE.

GOD I HOPE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE HEARING WHAT THESE ASSHOLES ARE TALKING ABOUT. WITH THIS KIND OF TALK I PRAY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WILL BE A MINORITY PARTY FOR A VERY LONG TIME. THOSE BASTARDS HAVE NO SOUL.

16. Why in the hell
Edited on Fri Mar-06-09 05:53 PM by MNLeftie
do we give Bush sychopants like Andrew Card any air time at all. Fox has NOTHING else to do so they dig up assholes like Card to dredge up their tired rhetoric and pontificate. I'll be willing to bet my next paycheck that asshole Card has great health insurance. Why should he worry?

F'in morons.

18. Andrew Card is such a Card. Health Care is not a need, if surviving an illness is not a need.
