I’m just shaking my head. Are the American people, as a whole, really this stupid?

He had to lift it, or he might not be allowed back into the country after his next international vacation.

HIV is one reason our health care and health insurance is in such shambles.

I once worked for a company that covered everything. Deductables and co-pays. It was great.....then, they opened the plan to "domestic partners" and a month or two later, $200 monthly deductibles, co-pays, and much worse coverage.

It is obvious too many are ... and THAT is the perniciousness of the democrat party, that they recognize it and exploit it to establish the socialist/fascist regime they’ve lusted for decades to achieve. As heard via Glenn Beck today, Senators who lead the democrap party like Tom Harkin actually believe it is they the federal oligarchs who create rights of the American people. And even when unelected, people like Tom Daschle continue to press for the socialist paradise of his wet dreams!

You know, if you think about it, if you don’t believe in a “Creator” who gave us our rights, then I suppose you think the govt did.

By jove, I think you’ve captured the essence of the democratic perspective! ... But then we had plenty of proof with their support, defense, and promotion of the slaughter of alive unborn children. Of course, once again, the democrats see the weakness of human selfishness and exploit it to the max, leaving tens of millions charnaled in their democrat party wake.

Didn’t Bush already do this when he signed the PEPFAR legislation back in July of 2008?
