State Sen. Paul Stanley is a good ol’ Republican boy. He teaches Sunday School at a United Methodist Church and is on their school board. He sponsored a bill to keep gay couples from adopting children. He’s quoted as saying that he “didn’t believe young people should have sex before marriage anyway, that his faith and church are important to him, and he wants to promote abstinence.” He’s married and has two children.So no coverage? I mean, even Faux Noise can't run a story about this and "accidentally" put a (D) after this guys name like they did with Foley, and Craig, and Ensign, and whoever else they were afraid to give real reporting to since it reflected bad on their ideology. Too bad these morons and the C Street fucktardery is so rampant that it can't be hidden by these "mistakes". Not to say the D's are innocent. Hell, some of them are part of the C Street cult of fucktards... *YIKES* Although generally they aren't all up in arms about people's personal business and aren't trying to legislate it. Although, it seems that the Congresscritters are just another example of what happens with power. You'd think we would have learned with Rome.And now he’s admitted to having sex with his 22 year-old intern and taking nude photos of her.
How utterly shocking!
Okay, not really.
It came out when the intern’s boyfriend tried to blackmail the senator for $10,000.
He doesn’t want gay couples to adopt children because, in his bigotry, he sees them as depraved individuals who are not fit to raise children. The irony is his own religion condemns him — he committed adultery, which goes against one of his precious 10 Commandments. By his own standards, he’s not fit to raise children. It’s unlikely he would admit that, however. There’s nothing like hypocrisy to make fundies find excuses for what they normally denounce as heinous sins.

Yep, I have great health care, and none of you slobs deserve it, so suck it! Well, that seems to be the message from this douche bag. Amazing! So CAN the government run something good, or can't it? Make up your mind!
P.S. As for the actual agenda of a national healthcare plan... My view is that we need to get the insurance companies out of it. Incentiveize people to be healthier first of all, and then see what we can do to make the system efficient. Right now it's yet another bunch of douchebaggery that is out of control, and the government hasn't done a damn thing to stop it. Too much Laize Faire will result in abuses too... Because people are greedy douche bags!
And AGAIN the Republicans are being SUPREME douche bags... The only study they arte taking talking points from is the Lewin Group. They seem to be leaving out a KEY fact though:
Oh Snap!The political battle over health-care reform is waged largely with numbers, and few number-crunchers have shaped the debate as much as the Lewin Group, a consulting firm whose research has been widely cited by opponents of a public insurance option.
To Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, the House Republican whip, it is "the nonpartisan Lewin Group." To Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee, it is an "independent research firm." To Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, the second-ranking Republican on the pivotal Finance Committee, it is "well known as one of the most nonpartisan groups in the country."
Generally left unsaid amid all the citations is that the Lewin Group is wholly owned by UnitedHealth Group, one of the nation's largest insurers.

United Health...one company I really can't stand. Many states won't allow them to do business.
Gregg baby, why isnt the current crop of clowns trying to do anything to support Health Savings Accounts? In my opinion, HSA's would..
A. Give the patient the right to chose their level of coverage and how much to pay for it and...
B. Drive down the cost of procedures.
It makes me think that this so-called "reform" that the Socialists in Congress are trying to ram through is less about helping people and more about control.
I think the first things that need to be done:
1.) Stop empowering (LAZY) Americans from being such fucking lardasses.
2.) Stop insurance companies from being greedy douchebags.
3.) Eliminate frivolous medical malpractice lawyers and all the CYA tests people do to make money via scheme of folks in #2.
That right there would be a big start to some ACTUAL reform. Sadly, we're such a lazy bunch of prima donas that Step 1 will never happen...
I agree that we need tort/malpractice reform. HSA's are a good thing though. There's portability if ever you change jobs and they can drive down costs.
