Choice to Democrats is like a cross to vampires. So says Fred Thompson in this Web video responding to HillaryCare:

Note all the ear tugging and chin scratching — a bit odd. Also, Mr. Thompson talks about expanding "choice" as the solution to our health care woes. What this means, exactly, I suppose we'll have to find out at some point down the road.

The video's script is below the fold...

"What is it that makes liberals think the best way to help somebody is to punish them?"

"I understand Hillary Clinton has just acknowledged that her new health care plan could require somebody to actually prove they've got insurance before they can get a job. You know, a job - the thing that would help you get health care. That kind of mindset is that the government knows best and if you don't agree, then you're just going to have to pay for it, one way or the other. The best way to improve the best health care in the world, which is what we've got right here in the United States, is to expand choice, not punishment.

"To some Democrats, choice to them is like a cross is to a vampire - they don't like to see it coming down the road. Hillary says, don't worry about it - the punishment - because the exact punitive measures they'd come up with would be worked out by congress. That's a thought scary enough to make you sick."
