    Did the Commie host actually refer to this as President Bush’s plan? Habit, I guess…

    Why am I getting the impression that CNN’s “Blogger Bunch” segment is just an opportunity to smack Scott around? Every time he goes on there, I’m struck by how slanted the entire show (hosts, blog comment selections, other guests) is against him and the other conservative blogger. The dude reading blog comments made it clear which opinions were intelligent and which were ludicrous; guess which ones he picked?

    Scott! Why do you even bother talking to these people? You’re undoubtedly the best voice we could choose, but these people have no respect.

    I loved their last answer to your point about government capital trumping private enterprise: “No.” “No.” Can’t argue with that counterpoint…

    The FireDogLake.com girl was practically crying with rage when lashing back at Scott. So much so that the host commented, “Obviously an emotional issue…”

    That’s the problem. As Rachel (Scott’s compatriot on the lower-right) pointed out, no one’s arguing against universal healthcare; it’s the government’s execution of said system. They couldn’t see through their emotions to adequately answer Scott’s logical points.

    Scott,

    Once again, you are brilliant as always. Loved your opening line about catching Amtrak to get to the Post Office for your medical care. Too funny!

    (:D) Best regards…

    JQ Re#1: “Why do you even bother talking to these people?”

    “The voice of one crying in the wilderness.” If a thousand people see the clip (yeah, I know, but I said if) and just one or two catch the sweet odor of truth going by, it’s a win. If not, well, except for useless pride, what’s to lose?

    Comments without basis were being made as if they were facts.

    For example, to paraphrase, If it works in England/Canada/Sweden why can’t it work here?

    Hello?

    Jameson, facts are the last thing libs care about, in or out of the media and in all 57 States.
