People? Who Cares?
As my upcoming weekly newspaper column will say, Republicans' all-out efforts to sabotage Obamacare are, among other things, cynical, dishonest, cruel, unpatriotic, unhelpful, and borderline treasonous. (If that last is a little harsh, what would you call the deliberate attempt to undermine settled law of the land, while demonstrably harming US citizens in the process?)
The most frustrating thing about a newspaper column is the inability to provide links; not, at least when it's in the inks. Had I the ability to do so, this article would be linked to the word "lie."
