CITIZEN ALERT v1.248HEALTHCARE HYPOCRISY

You know, I'm tired of hearing the REPUBS trying to frighten the elderly in this country away from Universal Healthcare by stating that they'll end up with no choices of who treats them and the government will decide what care they get. Golly, you certainly don't want the federal government deciding for you what care is best do you? They're not doctors.

Now, REPUBS uphold this propaganda because they believe there should be a smaller federal government. When they're hit with gay marriage rights, people like Cheney will weasel out of it by saying that matters like that should be left up to the state.

Well, explain this. In 1996, the STATE of California voted to allow doctors to prescribe marijuana to their patients. So, why has the Bush administration allowed the DEA to override those doctors orders by raiding 10 marijuana clinics this past Wednesday? Is that keeping your federal government out of healthcare?

I think if Californians really want their medical marijuana then it will have to be taken out of private hands, and regulated by our state government. Let's see the DEA bust into a clinic run by the State of California that has a couple of National Guardsmen in the lobby. Now, THAT would be a cock fight.
