StumbleLetter to the editor:
Now, about Ensign’s own health premium
Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2009 | 2:01 a.m.
Regarding the Las Vegas Sun’s Sunday story “Bigger premium discounts seen as a reward — and a problem”:
Given that Sen. John Ensign wants to assign rates according to lifestyles, I strongly encourage him to add promiscuity to the list. Any doctor worth his paycheck could tell you the more partners you have sex with, the higher your risk of infection with sexually transmitted diseases.
Using that logic, I’m sure Ensign will gladly pay the higher rates for his choices, along with Gov. Mark Sanford in South Carolina. But I think his plan would be torpedoed by Sen. David Vitter from Louisiana because his rates would go through the roof.

hey steve...
excellent post...
johnnie boy ensign is a fraud...
a total and complete fraud...
this little maggot was granted every single advantage in life...
rode mommy and daddy's coat tails all the way to the us senate...
but that wasn't enough for this snot nosed punk...
he had to have his best friend's wife too...
and when he got caught he fired both of them...
just ruined their lives...
then...
then this little maggot went running to mommy and daddy to fix his boo boo...
all while a member of "the family" cult...
and a "promise keeper" to boot...
what a sad clown ensign is...
and by the way...
where the hell is the ethics investigation!!!
The latest poll by Scott Rasmussen not only shows national opposition to Obamacare rising -- now it is 41% for 56% against -- but also shows the elderly moving against it even more strongly by 33% for 59% or almost 2:1 against it...
This letter to the editor should have been in the comic section of the LV SUN.
Reid's healthcare costs should be escalated dramatically. Look at the idiot son he brought into the world and think of what that costs the taxpayers.
The more I hear about Ensign the more I know he is a rotten spoiled brat.
we should follow Bill Gates and Warren Buffets suggestion that an estate tax should be enacted. That way we can not only redistribute wealth but more importantly prevent persons like ENSIGN from furthering their careers with un earned inheritances.
What a shame to have him represent Nevada he actually makes us all look foolish.
And yes where is the ethics committee hearings that should embarass his family even further. Of course not him as he is to blind to his own ego.
Steven - excellent letter! I can't think of a single Democrat who has been promiscuous.
Idiocy running wild again. Sad.
70% of Americans want health care reform.
The other 30% are morons.
In a recent Gallup survey, 89% of Republicans, 64% of independents, and 61% of Americans overall say Americans themselves -- rather than the government -- have the primary responsibility for ensuring that they have health insurance. Six in 10 Democrats say the government should be primarily responsible.
