Computer episode. I wasn't setup for audio

No one can deny that our healthcare is rationed except for the republicans. But listen to george Herbert walker Bush's position on health care in 1992. From www.faqs.org, President George Bush's health care reform program was presented to the public in Feb 1992. This plan upholds the private-public partnership that the US health care system is based on, but tries to address the problem of insured individuals. Despite the fact that the US spends more than any other country in the world on health care, 15% of US citizens do not have private or group health care insurance. The president's plan proposes a transferable health insurance credit or tax deduction. Low income families or individuals would receive a tax credit that could be applied towards the purchase of a health insurance plan. They could either purchase a private health insurance plan or a plan developed by their state government. President Bush disagrees with proposals by Governor Bill Clinton and Democratic members of Congress that involve significantly more government intervention in health care provision.
As you can see, Bush was for a public option, which Republicans seemed to have no problem with. Unfortunately, when Bush lost to Clinton, the health care system suddenly became 6% of our economy, and it wasn't broken, so don't try to fix it.
Hello. Patiently awaiting your next podcast. You have a new listener. One that is highly entertained by your work here on this site.
A couple months before I discovered "GOP exposed", I had begun the construction of my own podcast. www.joe-6-pack.com
My work is not nearly as polished as yours, but then again, I'm just starting this new hobby of mine.
Oh! BTW, your nickname for Republicans (Klingons) is absolutely genius. It's a short quip comment that carries with it an extreme amount of decisiveness.
As activism is my hobby, I start a lot of political conversations with people. I live in Cincinnati, Ohio, and therefore people I converse with often quickly become reactionary with me.
I have found, calling them a "Klingon" is the only sure fire way I can shame them as they begin to get rude with me.
Being able to shame a foaming at the mouth Conservative is the coolest thing since Dick shot that dude in the face.
E-Mail me... I would love to start an e-mail conversation with you.
Oh, while I'm posting here, check this out too.
You may have already seen Rachel Maddows coverage on "The Family". A topic that is really freaking me out.
However, in case you have not, I have posted sound bites of this coverage on my web site.
The page I am going to link you to was actually constructed for somebody else. But that is of no consequence. Check out the links.
The family sounds like a bunch of wing nuts that want social Darwinism, or feudalism. Unfortunately, this group includes more than a half dozen sitting senators. Scary.

If you don't do more podcasts, we won't achieve economic justice and a living wage. If we don't get a living wage, you won't be able to work less to free time for making podcasts.

FYI... I tried to e-mail you last night. The e-mail bounced off your mail server. The response I got back stated that your inbox is full. Just thought you would like to know.
Within the e-mail I wrote last night, I was wanting to know if you had a couple 30 - 120 second blurps for your podcast. I would like to splice some ads for GOP Exposed into my weekly podcast. Let me know. joe78@fuse.net
Be well boss...

Well written article.... thank you. It's funny tho', the more I read about how truly evil the GOP is... the more I'm amazed at the amount of supporters they still have. It shows how many 'stupid' Americans there really are.
I just finished reading John Dean's ' Broken Government' which covers the GOPs (i.e. Nixon, Reagan, Bush Jr.) atrocities over the past 40 years. And their flat out breaking of constitutional law.
It frightens me sometimes.
