Ah, Pauly - look what you've done! You've given their grunts, yelling and inflammatory symbols and slogans a gloss of articulation, something that they apparently have not been able to do so eloquently, at least not at these town meeting...
Yeah, maybe Lenin would be better. Problem with that guy, is his image is so less shocking and inflammatory than good ol' Adolph H. Lenin, with the fashionable goatee, nowadays just looks like some Internet Urban hipster you might find...
@DSwayze-Bro, "Why are you supporting this Nazi Policy?" - in the clip this is what the crazy lady asks while waving the picture of a Hitler Obama. This is the question that you would require Frank to answer with a...
The lack of thought and susceptibility to fear-mongering by a lot of these protestors is pretty sad. The equating Obama to Hitler is absurd on hits face and betrays just how little independent thought is put into those sorts of...
Tim, Sorry I insulted your alma mater. I suppose I'd get riled up if somebody insulted mine. Sorry about that. My alma mater didn't snub the prez (deliberate or not), but if it did, I can see people taking pot...
Thank you, E. Given the high quality of Comedy Verite coming out of ASU these days, your finding me funnier / more absurd than that . . . well all I can say is Thank You. My job is done...
. . . I like how all of a sudden it's all about "nobody cares - why make such a big deal Shiny - nobody gives a shit" . . . when at the start of this journey/thread it...
Don't feel bad, Sark. I've had a lot of startling realizations myself in this comments section. For instance, just today, I've had these surprising things pointed out to me: 1. I am a Brother Fucking Whore - or at least...
Sacr, "intellectual knife fight"? Is that what we're doing here? Engaging in serious, thoroughly researched debate? Dude, the site is called "yesbutnobutyes". It posts amusing/funny/ironic stuff. And it's great - I thoroughly enjoy it. But let's be serious - "people...
Ok ok ok. sorry sorry sorry. I thought that Tim thought that calling me "gay" would be an insult. I see now that what he really meant to say was that I was a Brother Fucking Whore. I'm glad we...
Ouch - more sharp barbs from The Mind Of Tim. Good one calling me out on my "research". Wow, didn't see that one coming. Now that you point it out, I see now that maybe what you're saying is that...
Sarc, OK, so let me get this straight (no pun intended). If Tim thought I was female and accuses me of "rolling off" my brother . . . then . . . .what? . . . his point was that...
Righto, Timmie.. Hear you loud and clear: 1. You called me a gay.. ouch. I am duly chastised and offended. I'll have to be more careful not offend you, in order to avoid your razor sharp wit. 2. You are...
All right, so maybe Davie and his gang were really being sarcastic, but - my god - I can't believe how off-target this whole "debate" is going in Comment-Land. Let's start simple and just connect the dots here (all, like...
In a recent poll 39% of Americans believe the Government should stay out of Medicare. And that just goes to show why health care reform is proving to be a tough sell....
All I can say for sure, is that I get my health care from a Hospital that is completely run and funded by the government. The VA. The care is decent, but not great, It takes forever to get anything done, they are understaffed and overworked there, and if i have so much as a case of the sniffles i better be prepared to sit there all day in order to get treated. If i need a physical or something like that, i have to schedule it 3 months out. If this model gets used for the new health plan,...
Maybe it'll cure our rampant nationwide hypochondria, our necessity to drug ourselves up rather than just suffer it through a little, and our need to give ever yquirk an official "syndrome" name to make it sound like it needs specialist attention. Swine Flu, anyone?...
To second what Mouche said... We live in a system where we pay a small fortune to be insured only to find out that when you need it most, the insurance company drops you because you didn't disclose that you once had a zit in High School. So, yes, I'd HAPPILY pay the government what I currently pay Cigna. HAPPILY! We're so wrapped up in what 1% of people might do that we're ignoring the benefit to the other 99% of people out there. Sarah Palin's "Death Panels"? What do you call it when your PRIVATE insurer decides whether or...
Social consciousness, not socialism. As one of the countries uninsured, I would happily wait 24 hours in a waiting room if it guaranteed treatment. I would wait the 3 months for a physical. I would pay the higher taxes if it meant the quality of life would improve for millions....
This lady and her big ball of crazy has inspired me. It is clear to me now that the Government must get out of the health care business. Completely. $0 money. $0 subsidies. 0 mandates. It must all stop. As soon as possible. Why does our federal, state and local governments spend as much on health care per American as Canadian federal and provincial governments spend per Canadian? Canada legally has to. We don't. And with each dollar our governments dangle to the insurance industry, there's a new regulation or mandate insurers must follow. Maybe mandates are an excuse to...
Pablo, I think the LaRouche crowd is different from the usual Democrats. As far as waiting. I've had to wait several weeks for physicals too. Don't know about emergency or serious care. (Knock on wood). I will say, my dental insurance has been pretty spiffy....
Also .... I don't know if anyone has gone to the Eye Dr at Walmart. I have. As far as I can tell it's the same thing as the independant outfits. The guy's got a diploma. Same tests. Costed me like 40 bucks or something and it was easy to get in....
That the spectre of McCarthy still haunts every political debate in the US even after over half a century is a testament to the power of propaganda. Only in the US could the concept of free healthcare for all regardless of the ability to pay be considered a subversive concept. The groups that would lose out the most are the medical insurance companies and the pharmecutical companies. These companie pay huge amounts of money to governers, senators and political parties and in return these polititions bring out the emotive language of the cold war to frighten the people into thinking...
