Do the rightwingers ever check even ONE of their batshit "facts?"

Yesterday at lunch, the RW morons at the bar were spouting off about how "socialized medicine in Canda is wrecking the Canadian economy."

I don't know which motormouth dipshit on RW radio or TV came up with THAT lille lie, but they must have heard it just that morning.

Funny, it only takes about five minutes on Google to confirm what I've seen with my own eyes: The Canadian economy is just fine. Better, in may ways than ours.

And, of course, when I asked them when was the last time they were in Canada and looked around,or did some research on the Canadian economy, they started barking Clinton! Clinton! Clinton! like they always do.

Fuck it. I'm going to pick a new place for Mrs R and me to have lunch.

It's great when you stump 'em, even better is embarassing them in public.

regardless of whether it is true or not. A connection to objective reality is not required.

nuff said.

And give up your chance to make them look like the dipsh*ts they are?

the truth about the "Clinton spied on Americans too" and I'm going back there today.

Fuck 'em.

on health care and what is siphoned off by the insurance industry. Between what is paid in health insurance premiums, what is paid in medical malpractice premiums, and other medical insurance policies, insurance sucks away about half to total health care costs in this country.

I've always said, we don't have a healthcare crisis. We have a healthcare insurance crisis.

And the only problems we've had with the economy is when we let the Conservative Governments (Mulroney, especially) spend us into deficits.
