He is as dumb as a rock when he talks about health care. The folks did not want a takeover of it under Clinton and they do not want one now. The health care system is not broke. Majority are pleased as punch at what they have. It needs tweaking not massive surgery.

I look at the DIMWIT-oc-RAT approach to health care reform like a wheel. Most sane people would agree that wheels are good and should always be around as a useful tool. Granted, there have been improvements to the wheel over the years, but each improvement was exactly that, an improvement. The concept of a wheel never changed.

Conservative innovators recognized the value of a good wheel and slowly but surely made improvements to its design and workmanship. The original stone or wood wheels were made of better materials and milled for finer symetry. Eventually they were covered in rubber and even inflated. Lately, concept wheels are being tested that have no requirement for air, thus no flats.

The call for improvements were never to replace the wheel with a ski or runner. DIMWIT-oc-RATS insist we scrap the wheel and replace it with skids.

Correct but that's what all that fancy Dan liberal, eastern, establishment, education will get you.

Why do you say he is dumb as a rock? I think we are making a huge mistake to attribute liberal's objectives and statements to ignorance. If it was just a case of stupidity, we could step back and have a good laugh. That would be suicidal.

Cause liberals keep making the same mistake over and over. Plus, liberals tout how smart they are; so, I like to give them a taste of their medicine.

I can't get past the snootiness of the interviewer.

They aren't making mistakes. They are trying to enact a carefully crafted agenda. IMHO, to view their actions as simple stupid mistakes, we do at our own peril.
