Pic Of The Moment: The Party Of Morals And Values Is Back!

34. Dude supported medicaid expansion? What a socialist!

No wonder he's morally bankrupt!

There are lots more republicans who support the medicaid expansion than either side will admit.

This from the link above:

“I thought, ‘You know what, I’m not going to skirt the issue. Republican, Democrat, it don’t matter. Those working poor have paid that money in. That money’s going to Washington. It’s their money,’ ” he said. “For me to say I’m against Medicaid expansion makes me the best congressman California and Massachusetts could ever have, because that’s where that money’s gonna go.”

“It’s about doing what’s right. You keep your people healthy, they’ll continue to work. They’ll do better,” he said. “The money’s there. As a business guy, I don’t like Gov. Jindal standing up there and trying to use political points” to argue that the state can’t afford the small fraction it would eventually have to pay to draw down billions in benefits. “It don’t take Einstein to figure out that’s a pretty darn good return on your investment.”

Not many Republicans acknowledge the existence of the working poor or that healthy people are a good thing. The dirty South does have lots of voters from both parties who are social conservative and fiscal/economic liberal. Many of them want guns, god, and gays, AND healthcare, education, and fair wages. Tea party spews pure horseshit so loudly and vindictively that other GOP viewpoints are often silenced.
