1. ANOTHER GOP asshat!

From his site:

After receiving his medical degree in 2000, Dr. Lawson then started neurosurgery residency at Duke University.

Despite a strong calling to medicine, B.J. recognized opportunity (i.e., he smelled the big bucks!)to address a fundamental inefficiency in our healthcare system: to take care of patients, all physicians need timely and portable access to patient information and in 2001 started Durham-based, MercuryMD.

Like many Americans, throughout his experience creating a company, and taking a risk, BJ began to ask specific questions regarding our economic system and the role of the government in the economy. The more his company created and prospered, the more government seemed to get in the way and the more concerned he became for our nation and most importantly our children.

2. OH YES!

We cannot forget to mention children in a political ad. Every parent has a fear that something may happen to their children so why not trot out the old line of protecting children. Well, protect them as long as there is a profit for someone. GOP, they are there to help.... sometimes

3. "the more government seemed to get in the way " this is the main point

I make money and the government takes their taxes.
