GOODY TWO SHOES: The Root Of All Evil
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) thinks private health insurance providers are Satan’s Minions:
"It's almost immoral what they are doing. Of course they've been immoral all along in how they have treated the people that they insure. They are the villains. They have been part of the problem in a major way. They are doing everything in their power to stop a public option from happening."
But they’re not quite so evil that she and other Dems won’t accept campaign contributions from them, reports Congressional Quarterly:
Pelosi, of course, has accepted campaign contributions from said villains this year and in the past, as have most of her Democratic colleagues. Pelosi's campaign committee, for example, took $2,500 from AFLAC's political action committee on April 13. But she's not giving the money back just because she thinks the sources are immoral and villainous.
"As the Speaker's opposition to the health insurance companies being in charge of American's health care shows, there is no link between political contributions and positions on policy," said her spokesman Brendan Daly.
Which makes health insurers both evil and stupid.
