Now this is how you frame an issue!

Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana says we should stop reforming health care so we can concentrate on killing Afghans. This is how monstrous the right wing mindset has become: killing is a higher priority than healing. We can borrow to wage war but we cannot borrow to provide access to medical care to our own citizens.

Ouch. The truth hurts.

P.S. I would just add a few other things more important to Republicans (and Joe LIEberman) than healing people (or helping them in any other way): making sure their friends in Big Pharma and the healthcare-for-profit industry make gobs of money; giving tax cuts to rich people who don’t need the money; wasting money on weapons system that not even the Pentagon wants; waging the never-ending-but-completely-futile “war on drugs;” etc. Again, anything as long as it doesn’t heal or help people.
