Not sure what this cartoon has to do with him being a cocksucker, but he is. And I like the cartoon, so fuck off.
A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat, and was very much in favor of "the redistribution of wealth."
She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.
One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the addition of more government welfare programs. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father.
He responded by asking how she was doing in school.
Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying.
Her father listened and then asked, "How is your friend Audrey doing?" She replied, "Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus, college for her is a blast. She's always invited to all the parties, and lots of times she doesn't even show up for classes because she's too hung over."
Her wise father asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA."
The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired back, "That wouldn't be fair! I have worked really hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked !"
The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, "Welcome to the Republican party.”
Sure, I don't like McCain very much, but do you really believe we're going to have a surplus with Obama's socialist policies?
Why do people call policies socialist.Sure, I don't like McCain very much, but do you really believe we're going to have a surplus with Obama's socialist policies?
They were looking for government funding and came out to the club to try and show McCain the car, and he said he was "too busy" and could not walk out to the parking lot (which is really close to the clubhouse) to take a look at it.
What an ass.
You think he's an ass because he didn't want to hear a sales pitch? So tell me, how do you treat salespeople who don't even have the courtesy to make an appointment, but rather just show up and expect you to drop everything and pay attention to them?
If you cared about people, you would not want socialism.You should give a fuck and care for other people. What about all the mentally screwed up WAR vets that are no homeless and need medical attention these people served your country and in the process are now addicted to herion or schizo. Fuck them I bet because they are not doing anything now
People use the word socialism to scare. It is not socialism allowing people in out country the healthcare they need.If you cared about people, you would not want socialism.
The government creates the false wars, that create the vets, and if you want to know what socialized medicine in a bankrupt US will look like, look at the veterans hospitals like Walter Reed.
You don't need the government to steal through taxes to help people. People can help people, all the government is, is an expensive middle man who is prone to waste and corruption.
You know what the most effective humanitarian aid agency is? The Red Cross. It's volunteer and donations. No government subsidies. That's the power of people helping people. The Red Cross did a hell of a lot more in Katrina than the government did.
The government is the one who protects the medical industrial complex. The government is the one who forces prices up by providing bottomless medicare and medicaid. The prescription drug plan is an absolute monster.People use the word socialism to scare. It is not socialism allowing people in out country the healthcare they need.
Reading your article now and would like to point out that is the govt stepped in and did not allow drug companies to charge people in the US hundreds of dollars for a prescription that cost 25 cents elsewhere that would change a lot.
A fucking men.The government is the one who protects the medical industrial complex. The government is the one who forces prices up by providing bottomless medicare and medicaid. The prescription drug plan is an absolute monster.
People think that they can have socialism, which is basically the government gives you stuff for free, or they make other people give you stuff cheap. We're all big boys, we know there is no such thing as free. We also know that price controls distort the market.
People hate HMOs, but the government is the one who brought in HMOs.
The answer is to get government out of the way, so we can go back to having charity hospitals, and all sorts of private practitioners without the regulatory and unionized shortages. Can you imagine if we could double the # of doctors? The AMA would never allow it, but you would almost instantly cut prices and drive up supply.
One has to ask themselves, the market usually provides for demand. So with demand for affordable care at an all time high, why isn't the market providing? Because the government and big pharma, big medicine are keeping it on a leash to maintain profits and control.
You have a third option. Don't vote for any evil.Lesser of the two evils = Obama.
Not to argue, but not voting is not apathy. Not caring is apathy.(Not voting is apathy and I loath apathy.)
