For someone who is about to be unemployed come November, I would think that Bailout Barrett would be all about some free health care.

By the way, we should vote these RINO REPUBLICAN BUMS OUT OF OFFICE IN 2010. They’ve been of for and by the special interests rather than the taxpayers of SC. Barret’s out due to his run for Gov which will be unsuccessful. Inglis is out according to the polls in the upstate, and Henry Brown will be ousted by Katherine Jenerette or Tumpy Campbell because they’ve all been OF FOR AND BY THE SPECIAL INTEREST RATHER THAN THE TAXPAYERS OF SC. On the Senate side, Jim Demint has a 95% conservative voting record according to the NTU while Shamnesty Graham has a 52%. We’ve got to put up with Graham another 5 years unfortunately.

“Obviously, we’ve been less-than-impressed with Barrett since he began his gubernatorial quest – and we’re not the only ones.”

Afternoon Michael,
Point of clarification. Conservatives do not hate Joe Wilson. We’re very simply disappointed with the RINO Repulican congressmen from SC including Wilson, Brown, Barret and Inglis who went along with Bush’s big spending, IE: No child left behind, sr prescription drugs and the Tarp bailout of AIG and Citicorp just to name a few in addition to the unbridled spending on the war in IRAQ and Afganistan etc. Now when Obama takes over, unbridled spending is all of a sudden wrong! LOL

Gresham Barrett and Joe Wilson seem to want to give Mark Sanford a run for the money in the Hypocrite of the Year Award.

They and every other Republican crying that a government health insurance policy is “socialized medicine” all have taxpayer-funded government health insurance themself.

If only the Dems had the cajones to sponsor a bill that would eliminate government health insurance for Congress if they refuse to allow the option of it for the public.

Like Sanford whining about govt. spending while sticking SC taxpayers with the tab for his first-class flighs to cheat on his wife, Barrett and Wilson love to suck the public dry for their government health insurance while mounting a cheap, phony ploy to avoid giving the public the option we pay for them to have.

To the D-bag Wilson hater up there:

Joe Wilson had the original amendment, which was adopted in his committee last week, addressing this issue.

Loser.

We’re already socialized. When fee schedules and insurance companies dictate care, it is called socialized medicine. Oh, and that precious “group policy” that you enjoy through your employer, also socialized medicine…I know, shocker. Notwithstanding, most private insurance companies base 80 percent of their fee schedules on Medicare’s already. If well regulated and restricted, a more socialized form of medicine will likely force other insurance companies to loosen up on premiums. Obviously, socialized medicine requires parameters, use your brain, and stop f*ckin’ watching Fox News.

Because if and when they get cancer, they won’t be able to see a specialist without getting put at the end of a one-year long waiting list. Socialized medicine = genius! -sigh-
