With how broken the Free Market version of healthcare is, at least in the states? That most certainly is trying to destroy the healthcare system of the American people.

That and there is no Free Market with healthcare. It is not a service where both sides enter into a contract freely. It is an essential service. Therefore one side has all the power, the other has virtually none.

There can be no truly free market with healthcare. Any attempt to make it so is an attempt at exploitation in disguise.

True. But he is only a Congressman in a split Congress. If he becomes a Senator or Governor then start to worry... :o

Yep. A mistake. He said what he actually believes, not what he wanted to say.


And do you have a source for this being what he "actually" believe?

Hence why it's funny.


No; this guy here obviously took it as him being serious. Hence the, "Don't you just love it every time when the GOP opens their mouth and the oppos tell the truth with out meaning to." Of course, it was probably just a potshot because he's got nothing else to attack except a slip of the tongue. Can't say I'm surprised about that.

From 8 seconds, and a with a complete inability to read and think, then yes; we do conclude that, but we happen to have the ability to read and think, so, no, we don't conclude that reasonably.

No, from 8 seconds of him speaking we conclude that he had a slip of the tongue that was pretty funny.

From his entire record to date we conclude that he's a smug, self-righteous dipshit who supports policies that are deeply detrimental to the American public.

No now he'll see his donations go up 100%, because he finally told everyone what we already knew. Because his "budget" would have gotten rid of medicare and Social Security.

And you have absolutely ignored my post in response to yours, as well.

Edit: You guys really like to live in your fantasy land, don't you? Ignoring everything to the contrary, listening to only the things you want to hear et cetera. Selective hearing, and reading, at its finest.

It was a poor choice of words, a simple gaffe.

That said, it's very, very telling, certainly.

Says the guy who is apparently so ignorant of Paul Ryan's positions that you claim he doesn't actually want to dismantle healthcare.

He chose his words poorly. It happens quite a lot in politics so it isn't a surprise.
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

The best part is he thinks we're judging Ryan solely on the words in the OP, as opposed to his career, his record, and his budget.
