1. I don't think he knows what half of those words or phrases mean
But that's par for the course with them. The GOP is steadily paint itself into a corner with soundbites

6. Indeed. What exactly IS a "Healthcare Gulag"?
A "gulag" is generally a labor camp and specifically one created by the USSR.

Is this a labor camp where people are taken care of better than in the free world? A camp only for doctors and nurses? A camp where political dissidents are forced to clean up the OR? Will the guards speak Russian?

2. I heard the GOP is projecting so much that their mirrors are suing them for unfair competition....
... good grief.

What I want to know is why no one ever in the media responds when these idiots say such bold faced lies... not a peep, not the slightest challenges.

Most of the idiots who call themselves "journalists" do not seem to know the difference between journalism and public relations. Which being the idiots that they are, it does not surprise me one bit.

3. It will also save lives and give people healthcare.
Rethuglicans need to be crushed.

4. Take away choices???
Many of the currently uninsured poor Americans will be allowed access to Medicaid in the Democrats plan. To say this will limit their choices is crazy. Limit their choice to be uninsured? Is that really a choice that people want somewhere?

And to compare Medicare to Gulags is absurd. Gulags were secret prisons that tortured their prisoners, not government subsidized health insurance for poor people. The most ironic part about this is that Cornyn actually did support setting up secret prisons that torture (enhance interrogation techniques) their prisoners and still stands by that decision.
