This reminds me to Google the movie that was on when I was at the gym yesterday. It's a sad commentary on the healthcare system when movies like this are even conceived. Found it - John Q. John Quincy Archibald (Denzel Washington) is with his wife Denise (Kimberly Elise) at his son's baseball game. As his son, Michael (Daniel E. Smith), runs around the bases and heads to second he grabs his chest and collapses. After a series of tests at the hospital John is informed by Dr. Raymond Turner (James Woods) and Rebecca Payne (Anne Heche), a hospital administrator, that Michael has an enlarged heart and will need a transplant. However because the company he works for dropped John from full-time (40+ hours) to part-time (20 hours), his health insurance has been changed from a PPO to an HMO, and the new policy does not cover the surgery, leaving them to raise 30% ($75,000) of the $250,000 in order to get their son's name on the list of likely recipients of an available heart. The family tries to raise the money by selling some of their possessions and helping out their neighbors, but are only able to raise about a third of the necessary payment. Eventually the hospital gets tired of waiting for payments and decides to release Michael. John's wife Denise tells him to do something about the situation after the hospital tells her about Michael's release. Unwilling to let his only child die, John decides it's time to take drastic measures. John walks into the hospital emergency room with a handgun and begins a hostage situation. He gathers the hostages and sets his demands: his son's name on the recipient list as soon as possible.

Has Santorum proposed a bill to require the conversion of all US citizens to his religion? Do away with the separation of Church and State? Said that the US needs to junk the Constitution, and become a theocracy? No? Or does he just let you know where his moral code comes from? You do want someone with a moral code in office, don't you?

slvemike4u -> RE: I despise Santorum (1/30/2012 12:47:47 PM)
Yes,he lets me know where his moral code comes from,and yes he has suggested certain things based on that moral code...for instance there is his stance on marriage and contraceptives that I believe cross the line. And no,not touchy at all...but now it is your turn,what beliefs of President Obama's do you feel that a) contravene the Constitution and b) he has jammed down your throat ?

Fightdirecto -> RE: I despise Santorum (1/30/2012 1:02:42 PM)
The best thing I can say about Santorum is that he publically expresses his beliefs and he remains consistant on those beliefs... And that is why the majority of the American voters would refuse to vote for him to be elected to the office of the President of the United States - because his consistant, publically expressed beliefs are un-American, un-Constitutional and are instead the beliefs of an extremist, fundamentalist Roman Catholic theocracy. Santorum is a wanna-be Tomás de Torquemada (Grand Inquisitor of Spain from 1482-1498) in a sweater vest - and he doesn't hide it. I give him brownie points for being honest about it - but I would never vote for him.

slvemike4u -> RE: I despise Santorum (1/30/2012 1:07:00 PM)
Not so sure about even that Fight,he says he is a conservative,yet he never ran into pork money he wasn't willing to spend. Seems his "conservative" stance is one made up wholly of convenience.

Good movie. There's also a great documentary about the corrupt US health care system called Sicko.

Seems his "conservative" stance is one made up wholly of convenience. His publically expressed positions on Griswold v. Connecticut and Roe v. Wade and on the Freedom of Religion found in the 1st Amendment (Santorum vs. JFK)* are clearly based of extremist Roman Catholic theology - not on the Constitution or American values. * quote: Rick Santorum, Houston, TX 2010 - John Kennedy chose not just to dispel fear; he chose to expel faith. Let me quote from the beginning of Kennedy's speech: 'I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute.' The idea of strict or absolute separation of church and state is not and never was the American model...John Kennedy's statement was a radical statement and it did great damage...Kennedy's attempt to reassure Protestants that the Catholic Church would not control the government and suborn its independence advanced a philosophy of strict separation that would create a purely secular public square cleansed of all religious wisdom and the voice of religious people of all faiths...Kennedy laid the foundation for attacks on religious freedom and freedom of speech by the secular left and its political arms like the ACLU and the People for the American Way.

Missed this one. This is the thing. Conservatives don't seem to appreciate that if you push people to the brink on issues like this, bad things will, in fact, happen. As a community we can't continue to ignore the "have-nots", however one defines that. People talk all the time about how they would kill someone who harmed their child. The movie plot seems out there when I read your synopsis, but then I stop and think, well in some ways, it's not so out there, is it? If society pushes enough people to the brink, there will be bad consequences.

defiantbadgirl -> RE: I despise Santorum (1/30/2012 1:31:02 PM)
Yeah like the convenience store worker who robbed a bank for $1 because he needed health care and thought he could get it in jail.

Said that the US needs to junk the Constitution, and become a theocracy? He has supported many bills that erode the seperation of church and state or are simply unconstitutional on the face. For instance Santorum Amendment (blatantly unconstitutional)
