HEALTHCARE - Conservatives, We Don't Need Them

"UPDATED: Progressives Are Raising the Temperature on Healthcare Reform, and it Seems to Be Working" by Meg White, BuzzFlash

Excerpt

It's becoming increasingly clear that conservatives aren't worth bargaining with.

One need look no further than the recent tele-town hall with Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), where she said that the solution to the healthcare crisis is to pray to God that poor people don't get healthcare coverage. Working with that would be like trying to pass the Clean Air Act among a coalition of people asking their god to rain down sulfur from heaven. The conversation isn't even worth considering, much less attempting.

And the "person" is a Christian? The poor should not get healthcare?! So much for being a Good Samaritan or "love thy neighbor."
