Mike Pence is the biggest bloviating d-bag in Congress.

[TheJoyGrenade24]

When a congressman can't make a valid argument by intelligently discussing the points, then they always deviate the topic and kick their audiences in the guts with cancer and war stories. A very low, cheap tactic indeed.

@loonacy2007

yeah i bet you would

[loonacy2007]

I'll help him pack and move if he wants to go to SC. He's an embarrassment. But I guess he is still better than what you have in South Carolina.

continued:

However, accounting for the lack of early detection in Europe the mortality rate falls drastically. It falls to between being slightly better to still being quite a bit worse than in the US, depending on the type of cancer.

I would suggest you learn your facts before promoting anything.

[loonacy2007]

The main reason Europe is behind the U.S. in cancer survival rates is not because of the quality of their health care but because of lack of early detection. What this proves is that Europeans need to get checked so cancers can be diagnosed earlier and treated and thus increasing the likelihood of survival. It is on the people of Europe to get themselves tested and not on the government to force them to get tested.

Give the hyperbole a rest. The movement against healthcare reform is fueled not by love of country but by fear of change. No change is scarier than knowing that privatized health insurers won't be lining your pockets with cash, eh Congressman? Oh, and, let's not trot out that tired "elitist" rhetoric, please. We elect our officials because they are supposed to be smarter than we are on the issues of the day. That's the job. Your cousin should be more scared of your dishonesty than cancer.

[RonPaulGeorgeRingo]

Modern-day Reagan/Limbaugh conservatives and Republicans have NO credibility on matters of fiscal discipline.

They made their bed, now LIE in it!

[wbtaylor1]

The majority of Americans are happy with their health care and do not want a government run health care program but Polosi and her band of runaway thugs rammed it through in the middle of the night. Take a stand America for freedom now because it's about to be taken away!

[zegermans750]

that certainly is a silver haired rich old white man.

[ProgressiveAction10]

To Republicans, there's unlimited money for wars and Wall Street.

But you try to put one cent towards helping the American people, and they set the Teabaggers on you!

Teabaggers,their repulsive horde of mindless minions, protesting against their own self interests out of ignorance and fear. They are mad as hell but can't really articulate why, and are quick to assemble at the orders of Fox News.

[IslandSpiceDreamin]

Hobarticus has bought the oft-repeated Dem/Progressive LIE that "the majority of American ppl support PelosiCare/ObamaCare" .... LOOK AT THE TRUE NUMBERS, Hobart & tell your party to STOP LYING

AMERICA'S MAJORITY HAS CHOSEN FREEDOM--FREEEEEDOM! Get it thru your thick heads
