Health and Harm

As the health care debate rages on, here is another point of view that hasn't been looked at to date. When Republicans wanted to mobilize and go to war against terrorists after the 9/11 attacks, Democrats weighed the issue and signed on. Not all Democrats did, but the majority did. They saw what was going on, and even though they knew that there was going to be some collateral damage in going to war, there were going to be extra costs, yet unseen, they knew there was going to be some ugliness coming as a result, they signed on anyways because it was going to protect Americans in the long run from future attacks.

WHY THE FUCK DOES THIS NOT WORK FOR HEALTHCARE AS WELL? If Democrats can sign on to protect the country militarily, then the Republicans can and must sign on to health care reform and the public option domestically. Yes the cost may rise some, yes, it will increase the size of government, but remember Republicans, when you assholes wanted to spend billions on war, the Dems followed because it was the right thing to do. Health care is also the right thing to do, so quit fucking around and give Americans what they want. 65% of Americans want a public option. And Democrats, remember this, you were sent to Washington as delegates, not trustees. We are not asking you to make a judgement call, we are telling you callow cowards, to pass health care reform, WITH a public option. Just think about it this way, why should we keep voting for you Democrats who raise our taxes if we are not going to get any of the benefits we are requesting? If I vote for a Republican, at least if I don't get anything out of sending him/her to Washington, I won't have a higher tax bill. I am willing to have the higher tax bill, if you fetch some results Dems.
