Actually it's the mind that can draw only this conclusion that's retarded, for many reasons, not least of which is the relatively small number of people screaming "socialized medicine" and the fact that a majority are happy that the reform bill passed. There wouldn't have *been* a reform bill if it weren't for the fact that Americans are fed up with being taken to the cleaners by the insurance companies. I mean, you have to be brain-dead to think Fox News and its audience are representative of the American people.
