Michael Moore: ‘Democrats are a bunch of wusses…It’s disgusting… I’m sick of them’

Just over a year ago, Michael Moore vigorously campaigned for President Obama and the Democratic Party. But watching them jettison the public option from health care legislation appears to have been the final straw. “These Democrats are a bunch of wusses,” Moore told Raw Story in a hard-edged interview Wednesday. “They don’t have the courage of their convictions. They won’t stand and fight.”

Health care is a uniquely important issue for the liberal filmmaker, whose 2007 documentary “Sicko” explored the heartbreaks and inequities in the US health care industry. He says he’s fed up with the Democrats’ reticence to take on insurance companies. “It’s embarrassing, it’s disgusting and I won’t have it anymore,” he told Raw Story, mocking them in a baby’s voice. “I’m sick of them.” His views on the Republicans? Well, at least they have cojones, Moore said.

“You really have to admire the Republicans on some level, because they stand up for what they believe in,” he said. “They come into town, and when they win, oh they win. They come in with guns blazing.”

Next up, Michael Moore backs Ron Paul…he he.

    #41 I’m just using your own words. You said the Dems. were pussies. I agree. You’re a Dem., so… I’m sure even you can finish that syllogism.

    Republicans and Democrats, instant death or life in the hospital, hemorrhoids or tooth aches.

    Isn’t having two choices just the greatest?

    #42 You’re gonna have to work on making that trolling a little less obvious, little pedro. :)

    The average Republican doesn’t stand up for what he believes in — he does what his leaders tell him to.

    That is VERY different than having principles. Once they got in power, the conservatives betrayed every core value they preached.

    BTW, was Moore ever a Democrat? I’m pretty sure I’ve heard him say he was not.
