Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-NY) for proposing an amendment banning Medicare. The Republicans, who claim to be loudly opposed to government-run healthcare, voted against the amendment.
The Republicans are nothing but a pack of psychotic phonies. This also plays to the point about Governor Perry of Texas and those two Republicans in Florida who want to exclude their respective states from the president's healthcare reform legislation. Again, I say if these bastards have the courage of their convictions, they should act now: ban Medicare and the VA in Florida and Texas. See how popular that is.
