"That's your problem, not mine"
And from the Lunatic Fringe of the Lunatic Fringe:
The repugican that will run against Cory Booker in October is Steve
Lonegan,
an avid supporter of tea party delusions. While Booker is considered a
favorite by Democrats, those on the lunatic fringe can find a friend in
Lonegan. Continuing the theme of anti-Obama rhetoric, Lonegan spoke to a
group of supporters last year, attacking President Obama over his
health care reform and even took shots at repugican governor Chris
Christie for not being hard enough on the program. Speaking to the
crowd,
Lonegan
stated that he didn't think the government had any part to play in
providing health care, even to those who are the least fortunate. He
went as far as to say he didn't wish people to get cancer, but if they
did, that was their problem and not his.
"I'll be as callous and uncaring as you can imagine. I
have no interest in paying for your health care. I'd hate to see you get
cancer, but that's your problem, not mine. I'm going to pay for my
health care, I'm going to take care of my children's health care and
tend to my wife. And when I stand for charity care (inaudible), you
[and] no one else has the authority to infringe on my right (inaudible)
dig into my pocket and my ability to pay for your health care or anybody
else's."
