Sigh.

Same guy who went to the UN and said that Iraq had WMDs.

[free from tyranny]

What? Another narcissistic semi colored fool, who thinks his opinion matters.

[lowbridge]

Bump

So they would be healthy if we had single payer healthcare? I feel for these women going through such a traumatic experience but on top of that, they’re being used as political pawns.
Colin clearly peter-principled out at colonel. Just shut up and go away and take the money from the white people you now seem to hate so much.

[sasquatch]

I am not an expert in health care
.
So why are you weighing in? HUMM?
A$$

He can pitch horseshoes in a minefield for all I care.

[trisham]

I never liked or respected him.

[jazusamo]

Go away, Colin and enjoy your retirement, quietly.

The thing about military care is that it exists against a backdrop of free-market care. Comparisons are made. A standard exists.

Obamacare is about destroying the standard against which healthcare can be compared.

The Marxist model is that the capitalist backdrop must be destroyed as a comparison...because it must die if Marxism can live.

Except for the elite, the people must suffer so that the least of us can get minimal coverage. Except for the elite, the people (call them the middle class) must slide down the economic ladder so that the least of us can see their income rise.

The Marxist modelers are happy when regular folks are poor...because the poor can now say they are on a par with the middle class.

Hurray for the elites. They have made the poor equal to the middle class.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

If they can’t handle Obamacare, how on Earth would they be able to handle single-payer?

[Steely Tom]

General Colin Powell: "I am not an expert in health care, or Obamacare, or the Affordable Care Act, or however you choose to describe it..."

M.C.: Thank you General Powell! (applause)

[GOPJ]

Single payer would be WORSE than Obamacare... is he nuts?

[bmwcyle]

I think he should River Dance in one.

[RoosterRedux]

Colon Powell is Black, don'tcha know. He ain't white and he ain't for America, don'tcha know.

He be a brotha now...so don'tcha be calling him American. That's an insult to a Black Man.

[liberty or death]

He's had the super Cadillac plan and NEVER waited in line to get cared for. Most people will get the other plan and will be waiting in very long lines in semi bleached, piss, blood and vomit smelling rooms.

[tumblindice]

Ethos, logos, pathos: Strike one!
Try telling a sad story, like Chewbacca.

[RitaOK]

Colin exhibits profile envy. He has none and has to pop out every once in awhile. It’s time.
