Health Care and Race Baiting.

I know in the last couple of weeks folks have been talking about Health Care. Recently, Democrat Rep. Charles Rangel spoke at a Health Care forum in Washington Heights. He said "Why do we have to wait for the right to vote? Why can't we get what God has given us? That is the right to live as human beings and not negotiate with White Southerners and not count the votes. Just do the right thing." Is having "Universal Health Care" the equivalent to having a "Universal Right-to-vote"? And even if we continue with this premise...why would Rangel pull out "THE RACE CARD" ...especially in this conversation? The real issue is this, in these hard economic times, we still have wasteful spending. We can't AFFORD to have this conversation, until we address our wasteful spending.
