		<description>Will most defininately sucks and he is probably on the Blue Cross payroll but I do not see how Syd is winning points with his argument.

Whether fat cat insurance providers or drug companies are paying his salary or not, numbers don&#039;t lie.</description>

		<description>Hey Sid - did you bother to follow the links about the group he&#039;s talking about? Here are SC&#039;s partners: http://www.fightchronicdisease.com/pdfs/PFCDSCPartners8-10.pdf from their Web site.

Even the partners like 100 Black Men of Charleston, YMCA &amp; Communicare talk about getting people to take better care of themselves as part of what we have to do to fix our health care crisis. Are they &quot;blaming the poor and sick&quot;? You can&#039;t seriously believe that we all shouldn&#039;t do more to improve our own health. That&#039;s the part Will talks about because that&#039;s Will, but that&#039;s not all they&#039;re saying. Try reading a little before you jump all over something - even you might be able to learn a little.</description>

		<description>We need to make the already provided medical insurance to elderly, vets, and others efficient before we talk national healthcare. Walk before you crawl.

Health insurance rates going down. LOL What was Rudy thinking?</description>

		<description>B-I-N:

Good to see you back in your old form.  That said, you forgot the Strom Problem schtick.  Probably lack of practice.  Either that, or your cut-and-paste function is busted.

Don&#039;t get lazy (lazier?) on us.</description>

		<description>seems like the point is this is where we are and whomever is to blame that changes nothing about the problem.

it is still there and these facts do check out.

i am for one glad that sic willie is writing about this because state leaders read his stuff and it may be they will feel pressure to do something about this. the campaigns also read his blog too.

syd needs to take his medicine.</description>

		<description>Vouchers, Will!  Vouchers are clearly the solution to all of the health care issues facing S.C.  Divert tax money to health care vouchers.

Give the sick more choices.  The grass roots organizations and web sites are already in place. Just add another link to SCRG and VFSC.</description>

		<description>Wow. Who the hell let Michael Moore on the blog this AM?

Seriously Syd, get a grip. Attacking Sic Willie like this is pretty pathetic. &quot;Privileged prep school existence?&quot; You might try asking his former teachers at Windsor Elementary, E.L. Wright Middle or Spring Valley High School about that - public schools every one of them.

Also, the last time we checked being the son of a college professor wasn&#039;t exactly a &quot;privileged&quot; upbringing. Good seats for football games? Yes. Lap of luxury? Hardly.

And to be perfectly honest, before you go jumping to conclusions about people&#039;s families and the chronic diseases they may or may not have, you should know that Will&#039;s mother nearly lost her life several years ago due to a heart condition. Of course you didn&#039;t know that, just as you know nothing about any illnesses he has or hasn&#039;t had to face in his life.

Of course, as is so typical of the &quot;haters,&quot; you are ignorant and don&#039;t know any better. Attempting to make Will Folks the issue is just too easy, but you weren&#039;t even creative about it. One day he&#039;s a loser with no clients, the next day he&#039;s on everybody&#039;s payroll, right? Make up your damn mind.

Our goal in writing this article (as with the article we wrote about the ONE campaign the other day) was solely to discuss the fact that there are groups in South Carolina as a result of the &#039;08 primaries and that this is one group whose efforts coincide with a serious problem in our state. That&#039;s it.

We&#039;ll also be writing about Ed in &#039;08, Divided We Fail and other groups looking to engage Palmetto voters in advance of the upcoming presidential primary season. So are we on all of their payrolls? Was The State newspaper on all of their payrolls when it covered their activities so extensively two Sundays ago?

Get a grip, dude. And look before you leap next time ...
