IT'S BECAUSE CONSERVATIVES ARE EVIL!!!
Just yesterday his Editor wrote about how off-base people are who dare complain about the positions this "newspaper" takes.
I don't know of a single person of any political persuasion who is "Cackling" hideously or in any other way over the prospect of cutting Health Coverage for sick people. If Laird were truly concerned about that prospect, he might have used this opportunity to make some creative suggestions about how the State of Washington might avoid making those cuts...
Instead, Mr. Laird, the newspaper's "Opinion Editor" mind you, did that by running a letter to the Editor from one of our local Legislators, Jim "Hussein" Moeller (D. Vancouver), who is already advocating new tax increases to pay for "Public Health".

That's about all I can say on this right now without resorting to profanity, so to avoid irreconcilable differences with the Admin Mods over my choice of words, I'll let my Freeper friends join the chorus on this while I take a break and let my blood pressure return to normal and give my freshening Tourett's symptoms a chance to subside...
A liberal’s compassion is limited only by the size of someone else’s wallet.
IT'S BECAUSE CONSERVATIVES ARE EVIL!!!
What does this guy not understand? The government has screwed things up till know end forcing and encouraging banks to provide high risk housing loans to people who were by definition high risk. Now we are going to give the guys in Washington more to do? Hell no, it is time to cut the government. We will take care of our own, we will raise funds for the needly, we can and will survive without them and they should be thankful we have not stormed the halls of congress and drug each and everyone of them into the streets screaming.
“But sick poor people hear only a hideous cackling that banishes them to irrelevance.”

cackle cackle cackle has it worked yet??
How can this be? To hear the Obamites, and Clintonoids, tell it, there is no health care for the poor under the Eviiil Bush Regime.
And, oh, how our governments are about to be reduced.
I haven't heard Obama or any Democrat talking about cutting spending. Instead, I hear about more and more and more increases in spending.
Wait... I thought conservatives were poor redneck racists who can’t afford healthcare. Was I misinformed by the MSM? ;)
These people have no logical (or moral) compass. They are adrift in a sea of stupidity.
This recession is INCREASING GOVERNMENT in ways we have yet to imagine. There is no way any logical conservative would want this because I see no way back out of the big government that is resulting for generations to come.
When government “manages” health care, they “manage” the cost and availability.
The result is that everybody has an insurance card and NOBODY receives any HEALTH CARE!
Doctors will not be able to afford to stay in business and access to critical tests and procedures will be delayed to the point of being useless.
As far as I am concerned , the newspapre, the editorial board,and the editors are welcome to pay for the “healrh care” for the “poor” if they are truly concerned.
If the product of my labor belongs to you as a right, then I am not your fellow citizen, but your servant.
I think this paper will succumb this year anyway based on what they are saying now almost weekly about cutting things. The Columbian models itself after the Oregonian, which is known around here as The Zero, and means more liberal viewpoints than not, and breathless infatuation with The One. The problem is that a lot of Vancouverites came over the river to get out of the Oregon liberal utopia, and we don’t want to read a little mirror image of it. All they can talk about this week is how education needs more money in WA state, where the administrations are famous for the salaries they draw. Anyway, The Columbian is strictly dinosaur media, and they will all be out looking for work soon, probably not later than June.
After torturing them, of course. Pain-meat is the best meat of all.

The last time I looked into “how poor” someone was that got free health care, I found they owned a 5,000 s.f. house with 2 rooftop decks, owned commercial property with rental tennants, and owned 3 suv’s.
Health care is the individual State's business. If a State wants to create a Marxist “paradise” fine, as long as the State adheres to a Republic form of government, their own Constitution, and can pay for it (Health care in this instance) “themselves”.
Not evil only responsible, sensible and a longterm approach to good government.
If the government really wants to make sure that poor people have health care, give it to them. Use the same tax increases you would use for national healthcare but only do it for the poor. Common sense would dictate that it wouldn’t cost near as much therefore less of a tax would be required.
The reason they won’t go down that road is that they won’t be able to steal and redirect all the money now going into health insurance. So, they will make sure that those of us who are now able to pay for insurance have all the choice taken out of our healthcare and have treatment options severely limited so that they can control our money as they see fit.
For roughly forty years, and 2008 as well, it's been liberals, that is liberals who have exhibited orgasmic glory whenever the economy took a header. Now that the crash SHOULD really impact liberal fantasies, why, it's the conservatives who are, what, at fault?
