Denying the Health Care Plan = Defending Slavery?!

Harry Reid is a disgrace. He is a disgrace to his position in the Senate, his party, and this country. How dare Harry Reid say that opposing this disaterous health care plan is the same as defending slavery? My ancestors were slaves, and guess who were the ones who were saying we need to end slavery? Republicans. I don't expect my government to give me anything except a safe country to live in. I don't need to them to take care of my health care, my food, my bills, or tell me how to raise my children. The Republicans need to stand up and say we will not stand for this anymore. The Democrats need to be lined up at a microphone saying that Harry Reid does not speak for them in this regard. But will they do that, no. They might as well have been standing beside him as he made his comment. I'm sick of this, "let's play nice with them and maybe they'll let us play" mentality of the Republicans. If they don't strongly dispute this, then they need to step down from their position.
