Rip Torn's eyes would barely open and his face was a ravaged, haggard, stubbly mess. His chapped lips stuck together, and the pavement had left a red, mottled impression against his cheek. He looked around blearily, barely able to focus...

Not that I don't appreciate the effort he went through to make his signs. They're no Senator Grassley Sir Tax-a-Lot SIgns, though.

I believe that's Senator Chuck "Pull the Plug on Grandma" Grassley, if you please.

This is what I'm talking about. Senators have bigger budgets for posterboard art, I guess.

Yes, but does the new health plan cover big vaginas?

Maybe, but it'd have to be a pretty big healthcare plan, amIrightherepeople!

Meh. Straw man much?

I know what straw man is, I thought you were going to link to what the Republican's Healthcare plan actually was. That would be helpful.

The fact that congress still uses giant poster boards functions as a microcosm of how outdated the United States government actually is.

I enjoy a Republican-targeted zing as much as the next Liberal/Moderate, but what's with elected officials and surrogates from each party accusing the other party of wanting their constituents to die? That's the number 1 argument in this healthcare debate, it seems:
Don't listen to the other guy because if his/her plan goes through, it's main goal will be to kill you. It's a bit histrionic and not at all an accurate description of the cons of either plan.
There's no honesty in politics. It's a game of who-zinged-whom-most-recently.
