Does Kos pay for health care for all his employees?

Just asking…

Some perspective,in re Kos’s beta-ness:

Keep in mind (and tell everybody you know) that Kos lives in his parents’ basement. In Berkeley.

Literally.

If the Obama campaign had defined “Change” as a government run single payor socialist healthcare system as Kos does in this clip methinks Barry would be a footnote in John McCain’s road to the presidency. Funny how those vague, lofty slogans become so distasteful when the rose colored glasses slip and people start to grasp their actual meaning.

I’ll bet this all started when his parents named that funny looking baby “Markos”. He was doomed to be a dweeb at that point.

And yet his sole purpose in life is to bring communism to the USA. Anyone here a psychiatrist that can tell me the name of his condition?

angryed on September 9, 2009 at 8:41 AM

Yeah, I wondered about that too.
I know a ton of indian immigrants who are liberal and believe in big government. Even though india’s success came after the state liberalized their economy back in 1991–after suffering through a socialist cesspool for 50 years.

Neither was I….

Kos is about a year older than me…looks a decade older but I digress…

I was active in the 1988 campaign myself…worked for Bush the elder…

I didn’t see a lot of 17 year old prcinct captains….
sven10077 on September 9, 2009 at 7:47 AM

ah right. I didn’t think about that.

and the link is by him.

I was a mess of a human being. I was 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighed just 111 pounds, and didn’t have a shred of self-confidence. In high school, I had been the short, skinny, Salvadoran war refugee with the funny accent who looked half his age (still do) and read books in the (then) lily-white Chicago suburb of Schaumburg. A deadly combination.

I was also a Republican. As a 17-year-old precinct captain in 1988, not even old enough to vote, I helped deliver one of the district’s best precinct performances for Henry Hyde. I had a framed picture of me with George H. W. Bush.

Of course, that was a different time, a different Republican Party. And I was a different kind of Republican — always socially liberal, committed to fiscal sanity, and willing to pay more than lip service to the concept of national service. Talk was cheap. I was going to wear combat boots.

I don’t know what a precinct captain even is, but hey.

From Wiki:

He moved with his family to El Salvador in 1976, but later returned to the Chicago area in 1980 after his family fled threats placed on their lives by communist insurgents during the Salvadoran Civil War.[2] As an adult, he has recounted his memories of the civil war, including an incident that occurred when he was 8 years old, in which he saw communist guerillas executing students who had been accused of collaborating with the government.[4]

And yet his sole purpose in life is to bring communism to the USA. Anyone here a psychiatrist that can tell me the name of his condition?

No kidding. So it’s come to this, seriously? I take comfort in seeing the left put such value on this guy, Olberman, Matthews, Van Jones, etc. It tells us who they are.

YMMV.

by the way I can go start a “sven 10077″ noted internet pest line at Wiki and eiher post myself or have posted that I was a candidate for President back in 1974….

now the fact that I was around 2 and there wasn’t an election for President in ’74 won’t stop it from being posted.

I was reading Koz’s wiki bio. Did you guys know that he used to be a republican. I guess he was really active also–precinct captain and all. I already knew about his military service. Didn’t know about the GOP thing. Wow.

EMR on September 9, 2009 at 5:58 AM

Yeah I also used to be Genghis Khan…

sven10077 on September 9, 2009 at 6:35 AM

I wasn’t being facetious. check it out.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markos_Moulitsas

Prior to enlisting in the Army, Moulitsas was a member of the Republican Party. During the 1988 presidential election, he served as a Republican precinct captain and assisted with the re-election campaign of Illinois Congressman Henry Hyde.[6] However, during his time in the military Moulitsas began a transition in his political philosophy that would lead him to change his party affiliation from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party.[2]
