From his column of 9/29/09:

"President Obama refused Friday to commit to more troops or a
draw-down
in Afghanistan. He's not ready to address it yet. He believes we
must
show great patience on Afghanistan, however we must hurry up on
health
care reform because people are dying."

Well, if you look at the raw numbers, that would be right. Something
like
45K people die every year in the US because of lack of healthcare.

I'm pretty sure he can do two things at once though..

Bull!

She's probably including those people who were aborted. Lots of them
died without healthcare.

If you use the 'jobs saved' type of reasoning, you could say that
anyone who died in a given year did so because of lack of healthcare.

If I'm not mistaken, 'bama saved almost two million jobs just today.

Break out the illegals and aborted and get back to us.

BTW, are you trying to set some kind of data entry record? Nine posts
in nineteen minutes? Holy smokes.

Come on... I know you're right wing, but at least attempt to post
something
reasonable.


I did.

As I've said previously, you mostly sound like a four-year-old. They say all
sorts of oddball things and it's rarely reasonable or accurate. Support
yourself with facts, then a discussion is possible.

As to posting, what's your problem? Now, you've got a problem with me taking
a break and replying to posts?
