4. Oddly enough

whenever I see him I get a weird craving for cough drops.....

:rofl:

[monmouth]

6. The lost Smith brother...Where art he????..n/t

[Libertas1776]

5. Him and that damn Amish beard of his

has also scared the crap out of me.

[GinaMaria]

7. Ummm... Is he claiming not to know that medicare is a government

plan and was a reform at one time?

[ddeclue]

8. He was claiming the new reforms would blow up Medicare...

[JBoy]

9. There's no whore like an old whore.

[JaneQPublic]

10. He says he's like 93 and has 2 pacemakers, 3 stints, a quadruple bipass, etc...

...but if he were in BRITAIN, he would be deemed too old for treatment and been left to die. So let's all fight Government-Run Health Care!

What a selfish old prick. Not one word about people of all ages, from birth to his age, who can't even get in to see a doctor, let alone get the gold-plated medical care he gets.

His ad was paid for by a group call 60plus.org. The group calls themselves the conservative alternative to AARP... which by the way supports Health Care Reform.
