mitt is for universal health care...if you live in lebanon. take that, michael moore!

yep, if you want free health care under president romney, no problem...all you have to do is move to lebanon:

“Did you notice in Lebanon what Hezbollah did? Lebanon became a democracy some time ago. And while their government was getting underway, Hezbollah went into southern Lebanon and provided health clinics to some of the people there and schools. And they built their support by having done so …. That kind of diplomacy is something that would help America become stronger around the world and help people understand that our interest is an interest toward modernity and goodness and freedom for all people of the world.”

I can't believe I'm agreeing with Mitt, but that's actually really smart. I mean, we're going into all these countries and unilaterally destroying their culture AND their infrastructure. Can't we give them something in return? Don't you think people would be a bit more cooperative if they liked us?
*Sigh*

sure, they would be...the part about his idea that's maddening is that he wants a form of government health care for non-americans and not for americans. he is very much against any socialized medical coverage. i don't think this jives with his claim of spreading "modernity and goodness and freedom for all people of the world." he says "all" - it should mean all then, not just those elsewhere who we want to like us.

so maybe mitt should start at home.
