Dr. No

From the Huffington Post:

Florida urologist Jack Cassell posted a sign on his office door reading, "If you voted for Obama ... seek urologic care elsewhere. Changes to your health care begin right now, not in four years."

Cassell, a registered Republican, quickly backpedaled in an interview with the Orlando Sentinel, but said he's perfectly happy to lose business over the sign. "I'm not turning anybody away, that would be unethical," he told the Sentinel. "But if they read the sign and turn the other way, so be it."

Patients who continue past the sign on Cassell's door find a waiting room stacked with Republican pamphlets opposing health care reform . . .

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) responded:

"Maybe he thinks the Hippocratic Oath says, 'Do no good'. If this is the face of the right wing in America, it's the face of cruelty. ... Why don't they change the name of the Republican Party to the Sore Loser Party?"
Of course there are extremists in every party. But it does seem that the current GOP is full of little else. Let's hope the voters take notice and come to their senses by November as to which party really best serves their needs.
