Probably the biggest turn we ever made was when the women got the right to vote.

It's a good thing that women have no concerns beyond their lady parts.

To be fair, many men don't have interests beyond lady parts either.

I can't believe that women would vote for anyone but Obama.  He's bought their vote.  They don't even have to think, just atavistically react to the free birth control trigger in their brainstems.  It's a good thing that women have no concerns beyond their lady parts.

I'm still trying to find this free birth control. Everyone keeps talking about it, but the only free birth control I've been able to find is the free condoms at the health department. Everything else has to be paid for. I wonder why it is that I can't find it. 

You have to be male, spend too much time on Languish and have a tendency to pick arguments with people over technicalities; appears to work a treat.

I wonder why I would be disenfranchised by a party that feels that half the population shouldn't get the same healthcare as the other half. Especially when the entire premise is religious fervor from those who believe that women belong barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen with their mouths taped shut.

Why should everyone get the same healthcare?

Why should everyone get the same healthcare?

Because we're all Americans, maybe?  Measurement of a great society?  Egalitarianism?

I don't see how our system could afford to send everyone to the top docs / I don't think the top docs are able to take on a limitless amount of patients.

Healthcare coverage is more than selecting a physician, you know that.  Healthcare is an economic construct.

Sure but part of getting the same quality of healthcare is access to those top physicians.  My father has that Massachusetts healthcare and though it gets him covered to have a bunch of basic visits - it isn't really the same as the healthcare that I have access to through my insurance company...if only because I can generally get appointments sooner and my physicians don't treat me like a gov't assistance patient.

That'd be the Tea Party pushing against allowing women access to necessary medications because it goes against their religious edicts.

Sorry. I forgot to put the word "basic" in there. Mea culpa.

Besides if you are going to troll with emotional rhetoric, you should at least get it right.

You and he both have an established baseline of a quality of care level, regardless of provider.  And that's the whole point: that there is a provider involved, where it's the state or your industry-insider provider, which is better than Mittens' new alternative of ambulances and emergency rooms.

That's not really a party, dear.  It sounds like you're confused as to what the Tea Party movement even is.

Like most Languishites, it looked like you pretty much take whatever it is you hate the most about the GOP (whether real or imagined) and use it as the reason you hate the Tea Party.

One enables the other.
