    Maybe I just have a bunch of commie liberal friends, but it seems to be coming up quite a bit today on Facebook. Anybody else notice?

    Really? That's making rounds on FB? Seems kind of a stupid thing to say, as I doubt those who are against UHC (not being insurance honks, or made to be afraid of everything) want people to die.

    Seems hyperbolic.

    A couple of my friends did it (of a couple hundred). It is a waste of keystrokes, if you ask me.

    Of course, I am master of wasting keystrokes, so whatever floats their boat.

    The Obama administration is desperate to get this bill passed, so they're resorting to tricks like this. Ain't gonna work, however. Americans are wise to the whole thing now.

    How about posting something like:

    No illegal immigrant or lazy ass on welfare deserves the same health care as an American who wakes up, goes to work, and pays (too much) taxes!

    So all those people posting it on Facebook are actually just Obama's minions and not actual Americans?

    Anyway, it's certainly sparked some interesting debates among people I follow. The dialog seems a lot more honest, civil and interesting than the shouting matches you tend to see on TV.

    Well, illegal immigrants aren't getting the same healthcare, nor will they under the (poorly) proposed plan.

    But what about those who do get up, go to work and pays too much taxes, but still doesn't have health care?

    if you pay too much taxes, that assumes you are in a higher tax bracket, therefore you should be able to provide your own healthcare if needed.

    remember: the poor don't pay "too much taxes". they do not pay their fair share.

    I know a lot of people are against his plan, but I am in favor of it. I get up and go to work, pay taxes, all that and STILL have to pay $900 a month for my family's health care. $900!!!!!! No lie! I would love to put that towards my childrens college. $900! So when I hear the people who get it for free complain it just hurts!

    I'm sure they're Americans, and they are entitled to make their case for the healthcare bill in any way they want to. But I suspect this facebook campaign was hatched by the Obama administration to help gin up support for a flagging pr campaign.
