GOP Heartlessness In Forefront Of Healthcare Debate

I sometimes wonder whether Republicans realize that we exist.
I wonder whether Republicans really believe that folks like us with not the greatest of means have needs that need to be addressed.
After watching how Republicans are fighting so hard to see that any efforts to achieve meaningful health insurance are defeated, one must wonder whether this party cares about us at all.
This is a part that barks so loud about being pro-life, but while they fight so hard for folks before they are born, they wind up throwing these same folks down the tubes through their callous and heartless opposition to meaningful health insurance legislation and efforts to make working conditions better for average folks like me.
This is also the same party that cries tons about deficit spending while failing to admit their roles in railroading the budget-busting Bush tax cuts for the richest 1 percent down our throats.
These are heartless hypocrites, and it's time that those who cover them in the media stop giving them velvet glove treatment and confront them with the issues that matter most to folks like me.
