Jimmie, eat your heart out. This is the 2nd time this year i beat you to first poster, and still 3 months to go.
GunnyG, I was a resident in DC during the Marion Barry years. What a hoot. He must have set back positive race relations 20 years as he exhibited every canard thrown at black folks, except possibly getting his picture on the front page of the Washington Post eating a slice of watermelon.

Gunny

My husband made a very good point yesterday. Our government schools are terrible. We spend more money on them than any other country in the world and yet our students test well below many other countries. If the government does such a lousy job running schools, what makes anyone think they will do a good job running a healthcare system for over 300 million people?

Your account of the govt. condoms makes the point beautifully.

Gunny

Just wondering. Did D.C. get some kind of federal
grant to purchase the condoms? Sounds like a job
for the Dept. of Homeland Security. HAHA

THAT needed a spew alert!

Almost shot a wasabi peanut out of my nose reading that!

Ol Mayor Crackhead!

Thanks. It's always amazing how stupid liberals are.

As I've said MANY MANY times before, they do the SAME thing, expecting a DIFFERENT result, and are surprised when they get the SAME result as a million times before.

Pineknot

Obviously they were made by liberals so we'd have to look at:

The Office of the Inferior.

Beachmom

You forget. It's not about providing the best healthcare, just like public schooling is not about providing the best possible education for our kids. If that were true, then Liberals would be more than willing to support a school voucher program.

Simply put, it's about power. Healthcare is nothing more than another attempt to get more people on the Government dole. The more peole that rely on the Government, the more power that is consolidated.

Liberals rely primarily on hammering their belief system into young minds to gain voters. As long as they can convince people that living off of Government handouts is a good thing, then they gain voters. If they had to rely on Conservative's main source of new voters... Procreation... then, just like the Shaker religion, Liberal ideals would have slowly died off. Instead, Liberals are very proactive about utilizing their 13+ years of indoctrination training.

You're not too bright a bunch, but...

Since you people seem to enjoy pointing out the how government can't be trusted to run health care because they screw everything up, why don't you point to the military as an example of governmental failure? Sorry kids, you can't have it both ways.

Like shooting fish in a barrel with you lot.

norman

Oh, I didn't forget.
Everything the libs do is for power and money.

My husband was simply pointed out that all kinds of people who have their hands out for govt. money and services claim that the health care would be better than it is now. Many of those same gimme more voters complain about the schools but want socialized medicine.

As for the libs relying on their belief system being hammered into the young skulls full of mush, that's exactly what Hitlary's proposal to give $5000 to every newborn is about. She'd have so many people hoodwinked she'd be in a constant state of ecstasy.

Do you think that we're stupid enough to believe that the military is an efficient organization? We've got the Department of Redundencies Department! If we got rid of many of the Congressionally mandated things we put up with, we could get a lot more done in less time, with fewer people, and less expensively.

soothsayer

Being a brit, you probably have a mouthful of rotten teeth with that horrendous dental health care plan you "lot" have.

Not to mention CCTV cameras on every streetlight pole!

beachmom

Yep, every woman in the world ready to pop would be downloading her brat here to cash in.

beachmom

BTW, Neil Boortz had this to say about Hitlary's plan.

How would the baby bonus play out around election time? Well, that's a simple enough question to answer. The Democrats would have two stock campaign tactics ready for each election: (1) Vote for me and I'll raise the baby bonus to $6000! A sure winner with every pregnant or hoping-to-be pregnant voter out there. (2) Vote for a Republican and they're going to take your baby bonus away!

What happens when spending gets a little tight? This one's simple also. Democrats will suggest that the baby bonus get phased out for people in upper income brackets. In other words, stiff the high achievers. In order to increase the baby bonus for lower and middle income parents, the Democrats will phase it out for the minority who earn the higher incomes. The math is so simple you should be able to figure it out even if you went to a government school. There are more households who make under $200,000 a year in this country than there are those who make more. Cut off the baby bonus for the evil rich, increase it for the poor and middle income types --- and the votes come rolling in.

"...the military as an example of governmental failure?"
You must be refering to WWII when, under communist FDR, we lost nearly 300,000 lives bailing out spineless European monkeys from the nation of Germany and its leader - homosexual Adolph Hitler.

Hahahahahaha

Fenty, he of the gun ban appeal. Maybe he can use those defective rubbers as muzzle protectors once the peeps of DC arm themselves.


Soothsayer, another libdolt with no knowledge, bestowing the benificence of his ignorance far and wide.

If government healthcare's so good, why won't any vets use the VA system if they have ANY other option?

Keep it Up GunnyG

What a bunch of idiots are in DC. Can you imagine if the Founding Fathers could come back and see this, what would they say.

Good article!

Facts and satire! Ann Coulter makes a good living doing this.

"Big Rubber"

Let's start suing "Big Rubber" for every one of their failures.



Next time you are renewing your driver's license, or just changing the address on it, imagine waiting in the same line for emergency health "care" when the government takes complete control.

Sooth

Like the Crawfish said, no one ever tried claiming that the Military was a model of efficiency, but in a free society the SOLE purpose of Government is to protect its citizens from foreign and domestic threats to their safety.

IT IS NOT THE JOB OF THE GOVERNMENT TO PROVIDE FOR PEOPLE!!! Nor is it the job of the Government to protect people from themselves... at least not in a FREE society. And if you haven't noticed, the more a Government tries to do, the less efficiently it does the jobs that it was originally designed to do. The more the government tries to play "Robin Hood" with the evil, corrupt small-business Corporations, the less efficiently it is able to do everything else.

GunnyG

Shameless Plug Time! You Know The Drill :)!

Of course, the even bigger problem...

...is thinking that condoms will solve anything in the first place!

DC

DC is pathetic. It's probably the worst governments that is not part of the states?

Savage, I too got to have the unpleasure of being there when "the bittch set me up" mayor was in an out of office, jail and anything else. How disgusting that this sewer is our capital.

Then don't forget Kelly came tiptoeing through the tulips. Have you ever been in one of those schools? The pictures are bad enough but going in there, there are not enough words to discribe it. There is no way I would ever allow my kids,dog,cat or their waste to be there.

I had to laugh a few weeks ago when the big news broke about the prostitution in the fire house's?
I just said "and" this is a news story? Please.

Maybe they are mad because San Fran took their title of gay haven?

BrianR

Nice one.

I heard the richchet off of his gourd.

Jimmy Carter

As usual, your post is dead on!

irtexas

I hate that town with a passion and their pathetic license plates that say "no taxation w/o representation" pizzes me off. They are too stupid to realize that DC was intended to be a district for FED BUSINESS and not a place to live in.
