KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Reuters) - As health care generates debate in this year's presidential campaign, about 68 percent of Americans say individuals should be required to have medical insurance, with government help for those who cannot afford it, a survey released on Tuesday found.
According to the survey by The Commonwealth Fund, an independent foundation working toward health policy reform, health insurance mandates were supported by 80 percent of Democrats, 52 percent of Republicans and 68 percent of Independents...
7236. concerned - 1/16/2008 8:31:53 AM Gay sex is now being blamed for the spread of the flesh eating bacteria MRSA, as well as AIDS.
Just another reason that the average gay life span is something like 43 years. 7237. concerned - 1/16/2008 8:36:02 AM Getting tens of millions of people killed for no good reason does not fall under the purview of 'tolerance' in my book. 7238. concerned - 1/16/2008 8:39:53 AM OTOH, as long as gays keep their diseases in their bedrooms, I'm more than eager to stay out of their boudoirs. But the problem is that they are not keeping their diseases in their bedrooms.
They have a nasty way of killing many millions of non consenting adults. 7239. concerned - 1/16/2008 9:15:29 AM "SF" "gay" "epicenter" "virulent staphylococcus"
Any of this mean anything to anybody here?
Of course this is all the Republicans' fault. 7240. judithathome - 1/16/2008 3:39:31 PM Gay sex is now being blamed for the spread of the flesh eating bacteria MRSA, as well as AIDS.

Of course this is all the Republicans' fault.
I'd like a cite for the first statement.
And I love how you skip from "they" to "Republicans" in such a short leap...yoy should join the ballet with jumps like those!
Of course, the Republicans sent our troops off to die by the thousands in Iraq and THAT'S okay...no fault there. At least from you. I guess because all those tropps were consenting? The old "we who are about to die salute you" canard....
7241. wonkers2 - 1/16/2008 6:30:21 PM Concerned, the spread of MRSA, STDs and HIVs, in case you haven't noticed, are not confined to gay sex. I seem to recall reading somewhere that heterosexual activity is a major source of the transmission of HIV. 7242. wonkers2 - 1/16/2008 6:31:50 PM Next, you'll probably be blaming Katrina and global warming on gay sex. Oh, I forgot--your're a global warming denier. Sorry! 7243. concerned - 1/16/2008 7:57:10 PM No, you didn't 'forget'. You're deluded. I in no way deny global climate change. 7244. wonkers2 - 1/16/2008 9:15:05 PM Okay, sorry. 7245. wonkers2 - 1/16/2008 10:57:17 PM Also, I mostly retract my post about MRSA and gays. I just heard a report on NPR about concern over MRSA spreading in San Francisco and other big cities in the gay community and others. 7246. wonkers2 - 1/16/2008 11:18:46 PM However, I wonder why you and so many in the lunatic conservative community are so preoccupied with gay health issues. You don't seem to be sincerely "concerned" about it as you might be about Alzheimer's or whooping cough among children or some other epidemic? You and others of your ilk hardly miss an opportunity to take a poke at gays and lesbians. Your carping is about gays is quite unbecoming and casts doubt on your status as an educated, rational and tolerant indivudual. 7247. concerned - 1/17/2008 2:00:24 AM However, I wonder why you and so many in the (unwarranted insult) conservative community are so preoccupied with gay health issues.
Since you're a purportedly rational, thinking individual, I wonder at your apparent ingenuousness here.
The concern here is that sound medical practices are being completely disregarded, or treated as a poor second in importance to frivolous narrowly defined social agendas.
Either you give a fuck about the general well being of society's health or you don't. People who avert their heads regarding STDs when gays are involved because of PC considerations don't, AFAIC.
The gay part of the equation is only a relatively minor part of the whole picture, but should not be selectively ignored.
7248. wonkers2 - 1/17/2008 4:24:33 AM Let's be honest here. You were'nt expressing concern about the "general well being of society's health." You were just being a right wing gay baiter in the manner of Jerry Falwell, et al. You would be more credible if you had ever expressed concern about a non-gay-related health concern. Your concern for gay health is really impressive. 7249. concerned - 1/17/2008 6:00:52 AM I'm being more honest than you can probably handle, wonkers. The problem wrt gay health pales in comparison to that of the rights of unborn persons which your side unanimously rejects.
Your only chance to regain credibility with me on this matter is to concede the above forthwith. 7250. concerned - 1/17/2008 6:09:34 AM The attitude of the Left regarding gay health and the rights of the unborn is completely explicable by the political rubric of "the squeaky wheel gets the grease".
Thusly this alone gives me the moral high ground. 7251. concerned - 1/17/2008 6:17:12 AM and I realized my mind worked on a much more complex plane that did his...
No, it just means that you're interested in analyzing others' behavior patterns. It would be an egregious mistake to jump to the assumption that you've mastered anything because of this interest or that it lends you an aura of 'superiority'. 7252. concerned - 1/17/2008 6:24:31 AM Any rational analysis of others' behavior driven by the motivation of wanting to be noticed and liked is one of the things that makes the female sex lovable to me. 7253. concerned - 1/17/2008 6:27:24 AM Any rational analysis of others' behavior driven by the motivation of wanting to be noticed and liked is one of the things that makes the female sex lovable to me. 7254. wonkers2 - 1/17/2008 5:12:16 PM Selectively ignored? Your selective focusing on gay health issues reveals you for what you are. A bigoted right wing jerk-off. I would worry a lot if I "regained credibility" with you.
