Results showed that more than half of all political parties reported that the speech was “somewhat or extremely effective. The study also found that the majority of Democrats reported that they have a better perception of healthcare reform after viewing Obama’s speech, while Republicans’ perceptions are relatively unchanged and Independents were split on their reactions to the speech.

Wilson was out of line, but I shared that sentiment myself, when Wilson said it, I was shocked, but far from appalled. So for those of us on the left, lets not kill the right because of Wilson's comment, because you know that its not exactly the truth. They may not be "covered", but they will not be denied care either. No one is denied emergency service now, why would that change. "Men lie, Women lie, numbers tell the truth."

Google "republicans give more charity", there are pages and pages on the subject.

Same old half truthes, and therefore lies. Where is the tort reform? One can try to resell a skunk, but it still smells. Is O`Bama in the back pocket of the special interest trial lawyers? No government option whatsoever is acceptable. Democrats vote for this at their own political peril. Many, like myself, who have never really participated in politics, will actively campaign against you with activism and money! Be warned! Same old rhetoric. Same old half truthes, and therefore lies.
