Rush Limbaugh announced he will quit the country and move to Costa Rica if Obama's health care plan is approved.
Right leaning Democrats and most of the Republicans will soon announce they have revised their position on the bill and will approve it ASAP.  ;)

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Perhaps we'll finally stop hearing all the republican hysteria about this!  They'll no doubt find some other 'death panel' fake debate to get outraged about.  <_<

I want Rush to move to Costa Rica.  He'll be closer to his suppliers.
PDH!

What is really funny is that I think the non-republicans have gone on about "death panels" at something like a 15,000:1 ratio to republicans. Talk about a red herring.

What is really funny, Rush Limbaugh got his heart surgery performed when he was on Hawaii, and that was done by their socialized healthcare. He should have refused on principle.

Hawaii has socialized medicine?  I thought only Massachusetts has attempted that on a statewide level.  :huh:

No. They have employer-mandated health insurance.

Red herring?  :huh:

I think you need to look up that phrase again.  It doesn't mean what you think it means.

Other posters on Languish have referred to tackling people (or Marti tackling people) at a 15,000:1 ratio to Marti talking about it.  That doesn't make it a "red herring."

Not quite that high a ratio yet, but maybe eventually.  :D

So where's the part about 90% of the House & Senate voting for the health care reform bill? :unsure:
