While we're busy calling each other names over President Obama's plans for the war in Afghanistan, the Republicans are making hay while the sun shines. Please, folks, this is no time to let up on healthcare reform.
John McCain robo-called me this afternoon. Um-hum. Senator John McCain has taped a message for every single Medicare recipient in Colorado and, for all I know, in the entire United States. The same John McCain, I might add, who has been sucking at the government's tit since before he was born. He wanted to tell me, he said, that the HCR bill he's being asked to consider will "slash" (or "decimate" or whatever the hell word he used) Medicare, placing my coverage at peril.
He wants me to call Senator Michael Bennet and get him to vote against the bill.
I apologize for not retaining the entire message; there are pieces of my phone scattered around the living room, and a hole in the wall. I am that mad. Y'all need to stop fighting, keep your eyes and ears on the Senate, and get this thing done. I mean it.
Don't let our families down.
