During President Obama's address to Congress regarding health care reform on Tuesday night, that horse's ass of a Republican representative from South Carolina took it upon his idiot self to yell out " You lie!" to the president when he explained that his health care reform bill will not provide health care to illegal aliens.

It seems as if Joe Wilson thought he was particpating in one of those ridiculous town hall meetings. You know, the ones where both the crazies and the right wing trouble makers converged to try and rant and scream over the logic behind a desperately needed overhaul of our current health care system.

Wilson is right. He's right if by " you" he means " I", or more specifically, " most members of the Republican party" lie.

During Bush's administration, when the GOP held a congressional majority, they not only lied but enabled and supported a president who lied to the entire country at the cost of thousands of American lives in the Iraq war.I'm surprised that the GOP got all of their corrupt and self-interest driven legislation passed then. I would imagine that the senate and house floors didn't have enough room to accomodate all of those growing noses.

And, Palin. Ugh! I personally had enough of her lies on the campaign trail, I can't stomach any more. There is no such thing as a " death panel". However, if there were to be a political death panel, I would implore them to shoot down her political career. Luckily, her stupid mouth has already been doing that for her.

For all of those politicians, special interest groups and everyday whack jobs who are doing their best to shoot down reform that will only benefit all Americans, I fear for you. Burns caused by flaming trousers may not be covered by your current HMO.

With the passing of one of the greatest proponents of health care reform, I can only hope that Ted Kennedy's dream of an America that provides quality health insurance to all doesn't die with him.

I'm still trying to get my head around why the term " public option" makes people lose their sh%t. It's as if a good part of the country has been hypnotized to immediately form into an angry, irrational mob as soon as they hear the term. The public option, is just that, an option. It serves as a means to introduce competition in the health care industry that will eventually result in more affordable health care for all individuals. The concept is not a public mandate.It never will be. This country is far too set in it's ways for universal health care to ever take hold.

If you're not losing your health care, then what are you fighting for? I'll tell you actually; you're fighting to keep the underinsured, sick and uninsured from getting the health care that they deserve. Health care reform is not socialism. In fact, if we're talking about controlled health insurance, what do you think the HMO's are doing? They're jacking up their prices, denying valuable claims, refusing to insure people with a pre-existing condition and regulating prescription drug prices.

That's controlled health care if you ask me.

I'm exhausted from the ignorance of so many Americans. I'm disgusted by the bullsh%t that the HMO's and their ( mainly Republican) cronies have forced down your throat.

For the love of God, I can only hope that you don't swallow it. Your HMO might not cover that.
