I really shouldn't be surprised at this point by what comes out of the mouth's of our elected officials. Case in point - Mark Sanford and Sarah Palin - but I just couldn't believe the garbage that spewed out of Georgia Republican Paul Broun's mouth on Friday on the floor of the House.

My favorite part of his speech comes when he talks of the Canadian and British universal health plans and states, all-knowingly, that they "don't appreciate life like we (the US) do, evidently." Really? What the f*ck does that mean? Dude, you are an @sshole!

The United States dramatically needs health care reform. And that can be nothing less than a public health care option. I'd go farther to say that we need a single-payer system. If you happen to live in Georgia - or just want to share your thoughts with Rep. Broun - call or email his office and let him know what will actually kill people (poverty, wars, hunger, not being able to get treatment for cancer, etc.) and scold him for his irresponsible, partisan rhetoric. You can reach his office at (202) 225-4101.
