Anybody who gives an credence at all to this GOP nonsense ought to have their head examined.

We should alert the media to give full 24 hour coverage to this national issue unfording before our very eyes.
My head doesn't need examining. The tin foil hat is working just fine (MLB, please note).

Sorry, my sarcasm fell flat. I frequently comment (sarcastically) against both sides of the ticket, and when I can do so successfully I feel good. It didn't happen.
Both Democrats and Republicans shouild put aside party loyalty and look toward building a country that works. Health Care is bankrupting us. Reform will be done, or it will be forced on us when we're broke. Either way it'll happen.
See Read the Pamphlet!
(And yet Americans would rather fight among ourselves then fix a problem. I believe that if a group of Dems and Repubs were on a sinking ship, they would stand and argue rather than work together to get the lifeboat into the water.)
The VA must know what it's doing. They have the most consistenly high approval rating by those that use its services.

Both sides should work together to find a solution that will make sure everyone is covered by health insurance. Whether it involves a public solution, co-ops or something else, a solution to this problem is needed.
Sorry I missed the sarcasm.

Since you like to distort Obama's intentions, your critisism of our education system has no validity.

It is clear that the liberal democrats are trying, once again, to tax us into prosperity. Kind of like eating your way thin.
Obama has lied about everything since he started campaigning.
If Obamacare passes in any form, we will pay more for less. And many of us will undoubtedly be denied (refused) care in our old age, as a cost cutting measure. After the cost-benefit analysis, it won't be in the governments best interest to give you that chemo or bypass or wahtever. And you will be sent along home to die.
Or you can believe the politicians who say that is false. And we all know how trustworthy they are.

Let the people who cannot afford insurance get insurance. This is what the plan is about.

Guess you would rather see the people who cannot get medical insurance get sick and die. I guess your type is setting up the death panels

This is just the GOP trying to create fear again to win elections. What used to be a grand party is now the party of lies and fear. No death panels exist except in the myths of the GOP.

The document is available on the VA website; read it! I did. It's 54 pages long and is the best, most-balanced, publication I've seen for the purpose of stimulating serious consideration of important life-and-death issues. No one should feel free to comment on it without actually reading it.

An actual person to whom I suggested they read a particular piece of legislation.
** Rush and Faux news, I'm sure.
I think Republicans can't read, in general.
Remember the past 8 years? I had similar quotes from Democrats concerning GOP bills introduced (the Modicare REform Act - which included death panels) was one.
They probably got their information from MSNBC.
I think Democrats can't read, in general.
Why doesn't everybody who's looking at this article and comments just view the pamphlet (I will tonight).
Be an informed American, not a party puppet.

Why the hand-wringing and outcry from those folks supposedly concerned about Veterans and Wounded Warriors? Where in God's name were they when Cheney, Bush, Rummy, et al, stoked the flames of a war of choice? You show your patriotism and concern for our Soldiers before they are sent off to make obscene profits for the military-industrial complex!
The whole "death panels" and "death books" conversation is political pot-shots at a popularly elected President Obama and is driven by the right wing fringe by using some people's inability to analyze the facts. Wake up people!

I fully agree!! An emergency conclave was recently called for the republicans (& bought off blue dogs$$$$). Their national leader lectured, & preached, about strategies & tactics for the anti-healthcare reform war. Rush is doing a good job, of leading the troops, & protecting vital corporate interests!!

You must drink an awful lot of kool aid to let it affect your writing and reasoning. The sugar must really have gotten to you.
I notice you made no comment about the first election. Sounds like you admit it was not so clean.
How much fraud was there in Ohio to get your friend George the votes in the second election? I doubt that he was popularly elected.
Us moderates take shots at your friend George because he left a mess. Obama is trying to clean it up the worst economic mess since the Great depression. Sorry you do not approve of his agenda, but we did not approve of George's fraudulent war in Iraq, his tax policies, and his "patriot act".
Of course there are other issues, but you are too stoned on sugar from kool aid to understand.

I'm sure that examination will be mandatory also, if Obamacare is passed -- as well as the Fairness Doctrine or its likes, so that all voices of discussion and opposition to Obama are sile6nced.

Bush and his cronies passed the patriot act. It denied terrorist criminals the right to counsel before interrogation. It denied them the right to a jury trial. His administration wrote up allowances to torture these criminals (assuming they are convicted). All of these items are in the Constitution, theat you radical rightists love to cite. He and his cronies also expanded the use of wiretaps without court approval. Who knows who was listened to.
His cronies also had fired various people in the justice department because they did not show party loyalty.
obama has done nothing compared to your friend George Bush.
