Leave it to morons invoking Godwin’s Law to make Barney Frank look like slightly less of a blithering idiot.
I’m so happy this public option garbage is finally starting to fail. Liberal, left, Democrats whatever you choose to call them are toying around with something that is more serious than they realize. Of course I’m sure Poland didn’t think it was so bad at the beginning either. As for Barney Frank and his idiotic response…., well the ideologies are sure aligned the same so I hope he’s right but history is probably our best teacher.
Somebody finally spits fire back at these far-right-psychos, and instantly they become an idiot, are you serious? What does this make the lady who asked the idiotic question, she surely found on the flier she picked up from LaRouche on the way into the meeting?
Mark me down as a supporter of the public option.

She wasn’t the most articulate individual in the room but in all honesty the parallels in policy between what we see now and what we saw then are dangerously close. Sure its not the same…, right now, but its the first step toward that world. Hope you like it.
