I'd rather be fighting bad guys in my newly pressed spandex speedo but I guess I'll have address a few things before I don my cape.
Ed Shultz doesn't hold a lot of credibility in my book recently he said that conservatives wanted Obama shot, or taken out.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsYIE_QkqNQ&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fradioequalizer.blogspot.com%2F2009%2F08%2Fmsnbc-libtalker-ed-schultz-opponents.html&feature=player_embedded#t=15
With reckless statements like that, that's all I need to know him.
The WHO, no not the rock band, the World Health Organization that Micheal Moore and company cite when it comes to the USA's ranking in the world as it relates to health care was ran by a Socialist from Norway in 2000 when that study was done. The formulas they use are suspect in that they skew the numbers to get the results they wanted (kind of like an MSNBC Poll) here's is the article.http://www.thefreemanonline.org/featured/ranking-the-us-health-care-system/
I'm not saying nothing should be done when it comes to health care, I don't think the Govt should run it. Now if they wanted to pay the bill or offer low interest loans in certain circumstances I might be ok with that. when my daughter was in the childern's hospital I saw quite a few poor looking families that might not have had insurance, I just wonder how they were going to pay their bills.
Why do the Canadian Doctors get paid more in the USA?

As far as Kennedy goes he fought for the average american his whole career and deserves a good Bill named after him. His contributions to the working class will be missed.
You're really making me work tonight! Please Define "Gross Profits" I'd be rich if I got to take home my Gross pay, but since uncle Ssm wants a piece of the action I only get the Net.
The net profit on a barrel of oil is pennies on the dollar. It's obsene of the govt to tax gas they amount they do, when they make it harder for the companies to pull it out of the ground.
The reason the Oil companies make a ton of money is they sell a ton of oil! If your profit on a glass of lemon aid was dime and you sold billions of glasses of lemon aid you'd be rich too. Most of that profit goes back into the business to search for more oil to pull out of the ground which isn't cheap.
Sorry for the hijack thread buy bypass started it 
As far as Ted Kennedy goes, I don't have much use for a guy who cheats on his wife and drowns his mistress.

Bypass, I said I do go to the VA as it is required for my benifits. Being disabled and not finding that I have a lot more things wrong due to agent orange, I am required to go there for certain treatment. Do not take me wrong, there are good doctors at the VA and at present we do not have Death squads that determine what treatments or weather you are to old for treatment, but that is coming. My VA doctor told me it was. He has no reason to lie about it. My regular doctor is the doctor that I go to for things not related to agent orange, cold, flu, things like that. Big difference in what goes on there.
As for Ed there and MSNBC, I have seen where they take and tell what they want you to hear. Most do that on every channel. I could care less that he was a rep and went dem or dem went rep. They are a liberal station and that is enough for me.
As for Ted, I hate to see anyone die. But he was as worthless as a screen door on a submarine to our nation. He wanted to legalize the illegals and give them a free ride. I don't remember that he brought anything to the table that helped the country. I might be wrong as anyone can make a mistake and he might have made one and did something good. I think that he was up there with the worst In the Nation. That is my opinion. He was a drunk as I was back about 20 years ago. Only I got rid of it, he didn't and now he is dead.

Bifocal quote " at present we do not have Death squads that determine what treatments or weather you are to old for treatment, but that is coming."
You are as full of crap as a "Christmas Goose"...What did you do, have breakfast with Sara Palin. I assume you are trying to refer to some of the proposals of the health care reform and if so then get your damm facts straight.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN THE HEALTH CARE REFORM THAT TALKS ABOUT DEATH SQUADS OR SOMEONE DECIDING IF YOU ARE GOING TO LIVE OR DIE.
Before spouting off about something you heard or thought you heard that some one said or might have said, go and pull the actual document and read if for yourself.

Section 1233 authorizes advanced care planning consultations for senior citizens on Medicare every five years, and more often “if there is a significant change in the health condition of the individual ... or upon admission to a skilled nursing facility, a long-term care facility... or a hospice program." [3] During those consultations, practitioners must explain “the continuum of end-of-life services and supports available, including palliative care and hospice,” and the government benefits available to pay for such services. [4]
They don't call it a "Death Panel" but it sure seems like a good word for it. They just recently dropped this section that no one said was in there. well it's not in there now...

What's laghable are the journalists that have sold their soul to the left and over and over call the death panels a lie.

| "The (Democratic) Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power. ... We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?" --George Orwell, "1984" - And if you have not figured that out by now with Obama in office, there is no hope. |

Expired You have read all 1000 pages yourself right I don't think so. I am telling you what the doctor said. You talk a lot about spewing and you do it yourself. There are people on a panel that will decide what you get if you have problems with your health over age of 65. So go talk to someone that knows and has already been briefed on what will happen in their facility.
I had gone to the doctor before he was in the VA system Also, You must be having breakfast with obama with your talk but you have always been that way so why should i thin you would change.
As posted by Fossil "Section 1233 authorizes advanced care planning consultations for senior citizens on Medicare every five years, and more often “if there is a significant change in the health condition of the individual ... or upon admission to a skilled nursing facility, a long-term care facility... or a hospice program."

so expired you need to check before running your mouth.

Well for all my good intentions I seem to have failed in the common sense aproach. Fossil when I said gross I ment discusting,out of proportion,not right, but I think you would of picked up on that and not gross or net pay sheesh. I was trying to direct your attention to the interview not Ed Shultz but the interviews you ignored, it seems both you and Bif did. When working americans that have insurance have to depend on chairity something is wrong with the system and it needs to be fixed!! Your death panels are private companies who decide if your insurance will cover an illness or not and for the most part it seems NOT and people are dying because of it but that seems ok with a few of you. Just thank god that for your daughters sake you have better insurance than I do.
Last January my insurance payments went up double and my deductable tripled and my coverage went down, now if I wanted the same coverage my cost would have tripled as my deductable did and my isurance company is getting rich in leaps and bounds that is wrong when the common man is struggling to survive but that it seems not affecting all of us so just keep your head in the sand untill it happens to you and I promise you will change your tune.
Bif I am sorry for the agent orange exposure I have seen the results of how that can mess a person up they used it here in washington to defoliate logging roads and I worked with a guy who used to spray it off the back of the truck and he was a mess I hope you have faired better than he did.

As I've stated before I'm all about reforming the insurance companies but the bill they have now just gives govt too much control over the individual rather than with the insurance companies. There are just too many wrong things with this bill that the lawmakers won't even read, now that's just wrong in my book. There are a lot of Republican proposals that make since but since they include tort reform which would bring the premiums down they get rejected outright, the trial lawyers have the dems in their back pocket and if you want to talk about gross profits look at what they charge 40% of the settlement.
I'm serious, do you and expired really want the 1000 page bill that's before the house to pass? it takes away so many freedoms that are hard to ignore.
I'll listen to Ed Shultz the day you listen to Rush Limbagh.

You won't find the words "death Squads" in the bill, they are way stupid but not that stupid. The only way to cut on spending is to cut the care of those that are sick. To do that would be rationing. In rationing they look at the value of the person. At 65, a person, they think, has lived his life for the most part and if he has failing health and it is a cost to them, stop the medicine that keeps him alive and get rid of the drain on the dollars. That is the only way to cut cost. You don't need to do anything for the healthy and when the healthy get sick and begin to drain cut their medicine or treatments and they die and cost go down. If that is not a death squad that determining yours, mine and our families then what is.
As for the Agent Orange, I have it in my body as per lab test. It is showing its ugly self as a rash on my hands. So far I have lost feeling in the left little finger from bumps that have turned to sores and limiting movement on the little finger and finger next to it. The bumps are on parts of my leg and right hand also but not as bad. It is just a part of life I have learned to live with. I served my country and would do it again. I can swallow this pill and keep going as long as GOD sees fit. I am worried about my grandchildren and their kids and so on.
I know the government and they do look at the value of a persons life and would like for most of the veterans to just up and die. Shame on them and those that will support anything that will let the elderly be put out to just die. In 5 states, they already offer assisted suicide but will not pay for the medicine to keep someone alive. It sucks and should not be accepted.
Nose, I don't see mud slinging, you might because you are blinded by your hero Obama. Pull the scales from your eyes and look and then see.

I give up Bifocal, as I've stated before you only see what you want to see.
Bifocal quote "The only way to cut on spending is to cut the care of those that are sick. To do that would be rationing. In rationing they look at the value of the person. At 65, a person, they think, has lived his life for the most part and if he has failing health and it is a cost to them, stop the medicine that keeps him alive and get rid of the drain on the dollars. That is the only way to cut cost. You don't need to do anything for the healthy and when the healthy get sick and begin to drain cut their medicine or treatments and they die and cost go down. If that is not a death squad that determining yours, mine and our families then what is."
I post the actual language and somehow you arrive at that rediculous conclusion. Thats really sad....Oh well....have a good one.

I didn't know about the logging roads thing, Bypass. It makes me sad because I was supported by the timber industry growing up.

Expired, I am going to try to get this book. It will be starting to come out to disabled veterans. Here is the news about it on Fox news
http://fns.blogs.foxnews.com/2009/08/23/the-death-book/
How can helping the well cut the cost. People that are not sick don't cost anything. That is free money to the insurance company and the government pays nothing for their health care. It is those that are sick they want to get rid of. Don't say I distort anything. I am posting what I have either seen or believe is what they want to happen to us. You are so blind you will believe anything they say. You only see what you want to see yourself. We are two people believing in what we believe and that is my right as it is yours. Call me what you want I DON'T CARE. I want a better life than this administration has to offer for my grandchildren. You like it go snuggle up with them and get close as you can. That is your right

Cadaver I also was supported by the timber industry growing up my dad was a shake packer and my grandfather drove logging trucks as did a few of my uncles, I found out about the agent orange when I was 19 and had a job with the Department of Natural Resouces. Fossil I listen to Limbaugh,Hannity,and Beck occationally to be well rounded and hear both sides of the story hah. Just a side note Glen Beck is from the town I live in and is going to receive the key to the city for his accomplishments(and boy did that raise a few left wing hackles lol) so buckle up buttercup and man up and listen to both sides it will make you more well rounded in the issues!!

Glenn Beck is good. I listen to some of all of them but FOX with Glenn Beck is one of the best. But some of you would explode if you listen to him.

Actually out of all of them Glenn is my least favorite, prolly behind your guy ed lol. It's not the message so much but the overly dramatic fashion he delivers it. puts me off. Hanitiy repeats himself every 5 min and Rush is full of bluster. But they do bring to light what the main stream media won't report most of the time.

I went to Beck's rally for the troops a couple of years ago. I brought my daughter with me too (16). I too listen to Rush (less than I used to though) and watch Fox when the wife is not in the room. I fully support the "broaden your horizon" mentality.
Btw, google "troll" as it applies to the Internet for further "Insight"
