  • Americans go to the barricades to say NO to universal health care; what twisted parallel universe is this?

    Universal health care should be a right. We have Medicare in Australia and while it's not perfect, we won't withdraw coverage in the event someone actually falls ill like those monstrous insurers in the US.

  • AssociatedPress learn how to spell health!

  • "one person says one thing and another says another thing and you just don't know who's telling the truth"

    so read the bill then old lady....

  • @prplhayeshz Read the bill? What did you like better? Line 4A97 as pursuant to article 95-476 as in relation to 2003 redacted law 1043-2A? That's how it reads, and I know....because I did read it! Anytime you have a man, or woman tell you they have read it, you can almost be 100% positive they are lying. If they are not a practicing lawyer with an expertise in civil law, they won't even come close to comprehending one damn sentence. Read the bill? Lol! The senate didn't read it either.

  • I feel like it's all pretty simple. If a nation hopes to prosper, shouldn't its people be healthy and educated? I think the private sector plays an extremely vital role to a nation's success, but I believe that something as core and necessary as health and education shouldn't be provided by them. The government should provide these things. I could be totally wrong, but those are just my thoughts.

  • @IGDogFighter those are really good thoughts. i wish more people had them.

  • The US political and media systems really are poor.

  • "one person says one thing and the other says another and you don't know which one is really telling the truth." ...well here's a wild idea, why not get off your arse and fucking read the bill for yourself.

  • IMO if we allowed Republicans and the Tea Party to run the US like they want to they'd create their own death panels for the poor and elderly. Perry wants to cut medicare because it's not in the constitution and they're already cutting into pensions. I wish FDR hadn't died before WW2 was over because then the US would have UHC like the other civilized countries and we'd have a living wage like  in Canada.

  • People are so "Stupid"...

    Man Made god, Not, god Made Man - Stupidity is but a step to the "Right".

  • At the end of the day Congress doesn't do their job. They still have health care and still get a badass check. Sounds about right, capitlism ftw.

  • If you don't know who is telling the closest thing to the truth, ask yourself. which one is FOX news? the the answer to the second will be the opposite of the first

    

  • *cough cough*

    Not to disrupt the tension between left and right wing individuals who are reluctant to simply "agree to disgree"........but does anyone else think Obama at 1:27 looks like a young Christopher Lee?

  • Oh, yes, you don't want death panels, Tea bagger.

    But you're okay to let uninsured people die.

  • @MenwithHill literally just had a conversation with my mom about that yesterday, it boiled down to it that [according to her] people's financial worth meant if they were able to get good medical benefits [like insurance, or top life saving chemotherapy etc] and if they didn't have such things...well they were going to die @ some point...that was her argument! after she said that i replied "how Christian of you mom" because dont forget conservatives are religious

  • As a independent, I've always been shocked at how ignorant these people who are railing against govt. healthcare are? Do you really believe the system as it is now is better? Where corporate greed kills thousands of "insured" people every year while the uninsured...well, if they dont have the money they dont really count right? It's pathetic how these people just tow the corporate line, at their own expense.

  • Fuck these retarded stupid teabaggers! Fuck Sarah Palin, that stupid evil cunt!

  • Republicans are evil.

  • @supowit Only the rich ones are evil, the rest just can't think for themselves. *Leaves America*.

  • @supowit No.........their largely stupid though. Doubt leads to fear, fear leads to hate, hate leads to anger....wait! Holy shit! Yoda was right!

  • @InteGrayting2

    Ignorance breeds evil. QED.

  • I love the sign at 1:52 which says "Healthcare is not a right!"

    Man, Americans really don't know what is good for them. HOW DARE THAT BIG GOV'MINT TRY TO MAKE EVERYONE HEALTHY?!

  • @Jarls Hey, hey, hey - we're not all retarded. lol

  • The problem with Fox so called "News" isn't that they in FACT have an ultra-conservative BIAS. The problem with Fox News is that they're consistently caught LYING / DISTORTING facts to support their Ultra-Consevative / Anti-Obama Agenda. There's a GOOD reason Fox News viewer's have proven to be the most UNINFORMED vs. ANY other network. They're ALSO commiting "consumer fraud" claiming "Fair and Balanced" / "we report you decide". Fox is indeed a SPECIAL case and should be pulled off the air.

  • How dare the government use my tax money to keep me healthy! Imma go eat another bucket of fried mayonaise balls.

  • Fear fear fear....and fear......

  • These "Tea Party" people are all confused because they're Fox News viewers.

    Fox News doesn't report on the FACTS and should be pulled off the air ASAP. There are countless examples of FOX NEWS lies / distortion of FACTS to support their ultra-conservative / anti-Obama agenda.

    Tea Bagger's: Do yourselves and everyone else and favor and stop being brain-washed by Fox News. Fox News isn't a legitimate News source. Search: out foxed and or "fox bias"

  • @mrcardio9r Whatever you think of Foxnews, pulling someone from the air because they spout opinions you don't like is Orwellian and fascist. And, truthfully, MSNBC is a liberal counterpoint to them. Fox news really started because conservatives felt the media had a liberal bias--rather than try to outlaw liberal bias, they started a network with a conservative bias. You just have to know that they have a slant

  • They scream death panels on Fox.Fox is the ones who think we need to cut medicare for old people so we don't have to raise the taxes on the rich.

  • @nowwithmorekick This is a good point

  • I think Sarah Palin's son takes after his mother - both have Down Syndrome...

  • We shold have death panels for people who think there are death panels, we might improve our national IQ

  • Ladies and gentlemen, do your own f*cking research instead of listening to idiots like Sarah Palin.

  • I can't believe I actually saw a woman with the sign "Healthcare is not a right". This is messed up.

  • If you want it to be every man for himself move out of your town city community and stop using power water and roads, these things only exist because people live together as communities in towns and cities in your country. Health care should be public like roads and water, then we can be free to live. Q. why do we have governments? A. to manage the basics so we can live our lives. 

  • The real crazy thing is that they claim government ran health care would kill seniors. But seniors are already ON government ran health care. It's called Medicare!

  • @ThePedub ...and it's terrible and ineffective, and run by state governments

  • @ThePedub It's government RUN health care.

  • no wonder they keep cutting funding to public schools, they want to keep the American public nice and dumb, so that they'll be able to get away with this kind of non sense. This isn't Nazi Germany people, how can anyone be as stupid as to believe "Death Panels"

  • The us people pay 16.5% of gdp for healthcare, THE MOST of any developed nation.

    Yet for half of Americans half the care is inadequate or non existent.

    We don't even ran in the top 10 for quality of health care in developed world yet we pay BY FAR the most.

    PUBLIC OPTION is the ONLY OPTION. Republicans blocked(filibustered) the public option and obama had to cave in and settle for obama care.

  • Republicans are not just domestic terrorists. They are quite possibly the stupidest terrorists in the history of the world.

  • Death panels dont exist in the HCR bill. They dont exist in the 'socialised' medical services of any western country either. It was completely made up by the President's political opponents to distract from the real debate and to divide people.

  • sarah also suffers down syndrome

  • It's called a "slippery slope" argument. Basically what they are saying is that Event A will lead to event B, which will lead to event C (and so on) when there is absolutly no correlation between the occurances of the events.

  • @803T No they're not. I respect you trying to bring some intelligence and reason to this, but no they're not. They believed the bill would actually instigate such death panels, yet another fake issue meant to rip apart the real ones... Except this time they weren't just ribbing a candidate's war record. They patents tore apart one of the most important political discussions a country can have and threw it to the realms of fear and hate mongers. That's just criminal.

  • There already is a death panel. It's called an HMO.

  • Hello All,

    The HC Bill has what some call the Death Panel, now called "The Independent Payment Advisory Board". This board is appointed without Congressional Approval by our president and any future president, it is a bunch of Bureaucrats who make decisions which should be done by the people closest to our health, like myself and Doctor. Kind of like hearing a funny sound from a long distance away with your car, and then the options become available from that distance.=)

  • @MrD5147 We now have the Board of Directors of Insurance Companies aking these decisions. So, What is worse- Denial of Services for Profit or Denial of Services for tax savings? Either way the rich will get richer and they are the only ones who will be able to afford the "best Health Care System in the World!!

  • @exsinor

    What is worse? Having to pay Ins. that does not address medical issues, because Death Panel restricts care our Dr. advises. Obamacare is really bad, and reason to Prioritize/Force it in was to insure 30 mil, then create a small much less expensive plan which covers 30 mil, then afterward reform our existing HC. I'm not a supporter of blaming other demographics, Rich pay largest % of Tax Revenue and Higher Taxes give them an incentive to move, what would happen to social plan then?=)

  • @MrD5147 where would those rich people go, if they have to pay higher taxes? Not to Canada, because the tax rates are much higher there. To Mexico? Don't think so. In fact, even if their taxes went up to the Clinton levels they would still pay less then in any other civilized country. It is a non argument.

  • Please change the title. I thought this was a debate about Heath.

  • If she doesn't know who's telling the truth, maybe this Fucker Sue Thompson should pick up the law and read it.

    Wilful ignorance. If people would learn to get rid of it, Beck, Limbaugh and their ilk would be out of their jobs.

  • so the AP would like us to believe that in obamacare, there isn't rationing of care or should i say "death panels"? Oh please, come back when obama stops paying you to try and sell this BS and do some actual reporting....

  • @fbi10 wow. youre really not all that bright are you?

  • @elkadir70 apparently it is you who isn't very "bright" but what more can we accept from liberals such as yourself?

  • @fbi10 Well I'm bright enough to know that provisions within the bill that ensure Medicare will cover end of life consultations between terminally ill patients and their physicians( and ONLY their physicians) have absolutely NOTHING to do with "rationing care" and "death panels" and you hopelessly delusional morons who continue to insist otherwise are nothing but a bunch neo-Con moonbats with less sense than God granted a turnip. Dumbass.

  • @elkadir70 apparently, you're not LOLRecent weeks have shown, for example the 22,000 medicare patients being dropped because of this terrible bill, death panels are very real.The end-of-life care provision was dropped from the bill after it was found that it is a "death panel" because that would actually add costs for Medicare patients, and had nothing to do with the stated purpose of the bill. If this provision was voluntary like you drones on the left say, why was there no such language?

  • cont: and this end of life crap isnt supposed to be handled by doctors...the doctors dont handle wills this falls under the expertise of legal counsel not doctors, doctors’ assistants or nurse practitioners as said in the bill. This bill has a number of government panels deciding what treatments are reimbursable to a government-paid medical practitioner who is giving advice to people who are perhaps at their most vulnerable. You are clueless and a drone...

  • @fbi10 Oh my God you really ARE a moron arent you?? Its end of life CARE, as in MEDICAL care, as in what kind of treatment do you want to receive in your final days (ever heard of hospice care?). it has NOTHING to do with estate planning, which is what you WOULD need a lawyer for. And the languge in the bill DID emphasize that it was voluntary but the provision was dropped only because so many people bought into this whole "death panel" bullshit ( which, btw, was recently named the biggest...

  • @elkadir70 Your idiocy is just amazing. There was nothing in this provision that stated this was voluntary to begin with(there was no such language) and the end-of-life provision had doesnt save money to begin with and does nothing to reduce costs. I never said "estate planning" either...rationing, which started by Palin, was never just about the end-of-life provision but exactly what she stated which is rationing that is encouraged by this horrible bill. Sorry but this bullshit is far from bein

  • @fbi10 Well the fact that you get your political cues from a woman who bases her expertise in foreign policy on the fact she can see Russia from her house goes a long way to explain why you think a lawyer, and not a doctor, should have a say as to what time of end of life medical care you recieve (btw, "estate planning" includes the drafting of wills, which u specificially mentioned in your previous post, moron) Clearly you are beyond reason. Enjoy your "death panels".

  • @elkadir70 another ignorant statement. Palin never stated that she can see russia from her house...actually look up the information before you post would help. BTW palin did actually have foreign policy experience prior to the election but i wouldn't except you to know that LOL! I said drafting of wills but not estate planning and "estate planning" includes other things that don't go into this conversation. Enjoy "death panels"? will you?...that's the question...LOL! sorry drone

  • @fbi10 she said "you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska" in a interview with ABC. Maybe for you that's smarter than say she can see russia from her house.

  • @xczgz Misquoted her, the last part of the quote states: " from an island in Alaska."

    and you believe that's false?? are you an idiot?

    Look up Little Diomede

    you liberals are such ignorant hypocrites it's funny as hell

  • @fbi10

    How stupid are you? I just re-watched that interview where she gave that quote about ten times, and she CLEARLY says "and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska". That is the direct audio quote, and the transcripts say the same thing. She NEVER said "an island". But then again your ears may be jammed with whats left of your brain leaking out. Either way, how the fuck would being able to see Russia from Alaska give here any foreign policy credentials?

  • @pbmdh I should ask you the same thing...did you look at the ABC excerpts of the interview?

    PALIN: They're our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.

    abcnews(dot)go(dot)com/Politic­s/Vote2008/story?id=5782924&pa­ge=2

    y did u lie?,LOL

    It wasnt the fact that she can see russia but the fact that shes dealt with them in past (bomber plans over alaskan airspace)..she actually does have experience, unlike obama prior, idiot LOL!!!

  • @fbi10

    Dealt with them? do you honestly believe that RUSSIAN MEN can be swayed by this woman? those people are a whole different breed.

  • @MMAenthusiastUHHE yes, dealt with them in 2008, for example..

  • @MMAenthusiastUHHE

    yea I'm sooo sure they feel "dealt" with lol

  • @fbi10 The "from an island in Alaska" was most likely edited out of the TV interview.

    What difference does it make? When asked if shes met with a foreign official before she said no then rambled on about how many vice presidents probably didn't either and how she can see land from another country. What a mess of an answer. Thats why people think shes a clown. In fact from what I saw many conservatives saw her as VP candidate a disgrace and kind of insulting.

  • @zzyzx0788 it can of does count when you have one idiot trying to misquote her.

    she supposedly hasnt met a foreign official mean she doesnt have foreign experience. Actually majority of conservatives do support her. Actually her answer made sense. Im sorry that you are hard of hearing. And its true, alot of vice presidents havent had much foreign experience and same with presidents. Thats a falsely fabricated assault on the woman experience when in fact she had more than the current prez

  • @fbi10 Her answers made sense? I guess, based on the fact that they conform to the English language. That doesnt make them any less ridiculous. Jesus, she clearly didnt even know what the Bush doctrine was.

    I actually account Obamas landslide victory to Sarah Palin. People really seemed to despise her, Republican or not.

    Oh yea, and the vast majority of Vice Presidents in the last few decades HAVE in fact met with a foreign head of state.

  • @zzyzx0788 " Her answers made sense?" Yes they did. Actually she does know the Bush Doctrine but as there are different definitions of it and since it changed over the years, it was a perfect question to ask the interviewer to ask clearly what he means by just the "bush doctrine". I guess you are used to the "uh uh uh uh blah blah" answers obama/biden give? Last time i checked he debated McCain and it was McCain on top of the ticket.

    Again, which former VPs that were governors had any FE?

  • @fbi10 The definition has changed over the years? What? Its pretty straightforward. Its the idea of preemptive war. Ya know, that you can attack a country that hasnt done anything to you on the premise that they might. And when youre answer to "what do you think of the Bush Doctrine?" is "I think its his worldview" its pretty clear you're just bullshitting and you don't know what it is. Its a pretty important thing to know considering it led us into one of the most controversial wars

  • @zzyzx0788 Yes it has changed numerous times. 4 times to be exact noted by RINO Charles Krauthammer. Palin was exactly correct to ask "in what respect". And I don't know if you know who Krauthammer is but he is actually the first to use that term. Look into his Washingtonpost article he wrote in respect to this subject so you can learn something because you clearly don't have the facts on your side. Don't be ignorant and arrogant...actually look into this stuff before you post that idiocy.

  • @xczgz boy you sure get off into the weeds. this point is a red herring. it about health care (death panel) when the patient and doctor discuss the treatment of going into a hospice meaning treating the pain in terminal cases or staying in the hospital trying other treatments as in cancer. when this is work out the cost of either treatment is lower with pulling the plug. its your decision not the government.

  • @fbi10 cont: political lie of 2010) that it became a political liability. its funny tho cuz this provison was once included in previous Republican-sponsored bill regarding health care a few years ago. How funny tho that right-wing moonbats like yourself tend to glossover that fact. No, the only death panels in this bill have to do with teh insurance companys and HMO's' the one's who really DO decide what treatments are reimbursible and who essentially lives or dies. Keep drinkig that Kool-Aid.

  • @elkadir70 from being a lie...and that was in 2009 by left wing website PolitiFact and they were debunked LOL no this isnt republicans fault but just blame your dear leader obama for this horrible bill. I am sorry that you dont like the truth but it sucks. The only one drinking the kool-aid is you drone...

  • "suffers" from down syndrome? Does anyone know if a person with down syndrome "suffers"? They always seem pretty happy to me.

  • @shittyshit69 true a lot of people with downs are very big characters and enjoy life but they will die younger and a lot of them will develop horrible conditions like alzheimers, so unfortunately yes they do. I say this as someone who works with special needs kids on a regular basis.

  • Did I just see a sign that said healthcare is not a right? Well..interesting

  • I don't understand why people have such a strong negative reaction to euthanasia. I think given the option (which doesn't currently exist) I would much rather just (Voluntarily, and thats a key point here) push the button so to speak than live out the last few months of my life in agony from terminal cancer or the last few years of my life not even knowing who I am due to Alzheimer's. Both of which are scenarios I have seen family members go through.

  • stupid liberals, with their facts, and truth, and figures,

  • For all the shouting about health care it is about control. Control of your life: of where you can live, what you can do, your life style, what you can eat, what you can do. With a ~2000 pages in all present bills and nearly ANY THING in your life can be related to heath care or cost for heath care. When voters realize that if they do not toe the party line they and their children will be put on the “rationed/expendable” health care list. This is the whole ball game for the Democrats.

  • I knew Bill and Linda Gates are Mr & Mrs Typhoid Mary,Gates foundation is spreading cancer,aids,numerous long term sickness as part of NWO Eugenics program cause their view is"world is over populated" but Gate's donot take any vaccines themselves-these criminals need to be arrested.GMO foods are poison, Monsanto & Gates Foundation collaborate to kill off the masses. Eugenics programs are standard policies of western Gov. since 60's if you don't believe See "Gates Advocacy for Death Panels."

  • 'Death Panels' already exist you can tell as it is the pro private health that are saying it which says to me, its a private health care term. A crude term for those in my opinion for those who cannot afford it!!!!!

  • @antjh1981Barbara Wagner's received a rejection letter from The universal care system setup in her state run was crushing. The 64-year-old Oregon woman, whose lung cancer had been in remission, learned the disease had returned and would likely kill her. Her last hope was a $4,000-a-month drug that was prescribed for her, but the rationing board, death panel, refused to pay. What the state run Oregon Health Plan did agree to cover were drugs for a physician-assisted death, cost $50

  • @cupera1 um dude, 2014 is the year Obama's healthcare first takes affect....so youre nameless women died from a system that your precious Tea PARTY is defending

  • Death Panels? Smoke and mirrors to keep there parties political contributions coming in. No private health care insurance, less funding for political parties, so the rich politicians would have to start going into there own pockets to fund thier own campaigns. Small segway I know but a relievant one.

  • Comment removed

  • I don't think Congress would really be stupid enough to create death panels...I don't know who's got the heart to say that. Besides they are governed (at least somewhat) by public opinion. I see they took part of that bill out after the backlash...

  • @bubblesbaby37

    You really have to be smart, to know the truth.

    End of life councelling is something i personally wish to have,

    so i can make all my important decisions before leaving this earth, for the last time.

    like a living will etc..

    Is important volunterily work they took out of context and smeared all the way

    so sad to see that happen to the old folks they dont deserve to be scared like that.

  • @izaccy you're right...these people are just jumping on one stupid comment. We should be trying to learn and educate ourselves so we can debate intelligently.

  • Her son has Down syndrome? Is it hereditary?

  • @TheRipperRypien

    Down syndrome is usually the result of a woman breeding too late.

  • I DON'T WANT TO ESCAPE TO NEVADA!!!

  • TAPPER: Death panels would save money, theoretically.

    KRUGMAN: The advisory path has the ability to make more or less binding judgments on saying this particular expensive treatment actually doesnt do any good medically and so were not going to pay for it. That is actually going to save quite a lot of money. We dont know how much yet. The CBO gives it very little credit. But most of the health care economists I talk to think its going to be a really major cost saving.

  • Dang all this stress must be getting to obama. He looked real old in that video.

  • holy sh!t!!! sarah knows how to use facebook?

  • @Dasindanger

    Perhaps she used an experimental interface designed for use by pit-bull terriers?

  • how stupid can these people get? Do they shout out 'DEATH PANEL' as they shoot cum in their jeans, jacking off to a picture of Sarah Palin??

    What about an insurance company denying treatement to save money? That sounds more like a death panel to me:::

  • I completely agree with you

    But how can you jerk off if you pants are zipped up?

  • @spinnersmetal ever heard of a little show called the man show ? oh if you would'Ve seen some of their ''manovations'' they came up with...

  • @fredriknorand  Actually, both examples are ludicrous.

  • @fredriknorand Actually, both examples are ludicrous. Any way, these are the same people who don't want evolution taught in schools, preferring the much more likely story that the earth is only a few thousand years old and that dinosaurs once lived with humans--funny, since they reject science, perhaps they should reject medicine altogether. Health care system unburdened, problem solved

  • @rubiconsedge Dude...havent you ever watched the Flintstones? Its common knowledge humans lived with dinosaurs......like duh.....XD.

  • All men are not gods.

    All gods are not men.

    Therefore, there is no God.

    End of story.

  • @morph39 no but i think u must be an arsehole

  • All men are not idiots

    All idiots are not men

    Therefore, there are no idiots.

    End of your logic.

  • Government sponsored euthanasia of career politicians. The ays have it.

  • seems like you guys wouldn't say the things you say if you actually looked at the facts... or compared him to the last few presidents..... but no he is one of those upitty types so let's send O'riley and other racist christians to attack his agenda which helps the people.(not just black people)

  • i dont want this dirty NIGGAH government to get its hands on my medi care...obama is a commie

  • better than ur trailer trash cousin banging inbreed babies lol

  • a lot of dirty niggah hands are touching your wife daughters and mothers pussies.... show a lil love to the president of amerikkka he changing this bullshit up soon long livr fprt hood

  • you sound so mature. obama is doing a very good job. there are some things i don't like, but overall he is doing fine. grow up dude. you know what you are saying isn't true. the fact you have to resort to cursing means you have run out of ideas. check the facts, no death panals. even republicans in congress don't believe that.

  • @GVILLEtSHIRTFACTORY Blacks seem to come up with stupid degenerate sexual references, no wonder why the ghetto is full of AIDS & bastards and no one knows who their daddy is.

  • @BarthBunzel don't generalize an entire race based on one moronic comment. Not all of us live in the ghetto you know...

  • And you are an asshole!

  • People must be really lacking in common sense and intelligence to think that reducing Medicare by $1/2TRILLION will not negatively effect quality of care or cause the withholding of care to those thought "unsavable" or who don't have enough time left to worry about. Sarah Palin was being facetious about seeing Russia from her porch. She'd have to go to Diomede Island AK to be able to see Russia. Alaska and Russia trade constantly and have since there were American Indians.

  • "even sarah palin jumped into the fray.."

    That's a joke-right?

  • Obama>Reagan

  • most effected the elderly aren't effected by this shit at all they already have government healthcare

  • If G.W. Bush was "the worst president ever" , why do all Obama-worshippers constantly compare Obama to him?

    This is like saying that you play sports better than the last kid picked on your team in gym class.

    Try comparing Obama to someone worthy.

  • What you say might hold water if wasn't for the fact the majority of obamas hardened critics where staunch supporters of bush, and waved the flag when he sold you down the river. sort of like the parents of the worst kid in gym class claiming the new kid is crap when it was there kid who lost the game .

  • ive never heard any obama supporter ever compare him to bush. i think youre making that up?

    or anyway i dont. so you know, whatever lol.

  • well i really dont like comparing presidents. Bush worshippers or obama worshippers they are all the same. Everyone has an agenda.

  • @charlotte240 Well if all the teabaggers are so against big government & excessive spending, how many of them protested against the Iraq war? That would be a no-brainer if you hate spending, death and gov't power so much. Most of them supported BUSH 100% back then & called those protesters appeasers & traitors. So now some pile of trash like Palin starts talking like Ron Paul, after selected, and then all the talk radio morons suddenly remember how libertarian they are when Obama got elected.

  • How will forcing 50 million uninsured into a system with out adding more doctors nurses and hospitals make it more accessible. All that is going to happen is that the health care will cost more and be rationed, death panels, only to people that are productive, useless eaters need not apply

  • so many americans are intelligent. why the fuck is it that their politics are always so god damn shortsighted and uninformed?

  • @Keinlicht Stupid people breed faster

  • All old people should be euthanized. They're too god-damned expensive!

  • Comment removed

  • "jewswrecknations"

    lol, wow, your name is of something you hate. that alone shows how pathetic you are. your hate means more to you than you mean to yourself.

  • I'm saying it isn't a socialist program because it IS NOT a socialist program.

    If the government was banning private healthcare, or mandating that citizens enroll in the government program, then calling it socialist would be understandable. But nothing like that is being proposed.

    I didn't stand up for Obama either; I just said that what he was putting forth was not a socialist program. And it's not.

    I'm not a kiddie. And I certainly wont be talked down to by some anti-Semite redneck idiot.

  • I like how actually knowing the facts about what the healthcare reform bill is about makes me an "obamabot" lol. I'm harldy an Obama fan; he has spent WAY too much. But that doesn't make him or his policies socialist.

    And as far as doing things as a President... he is not even 9 months into his term yet. Comparing him to Bush is a fruitless gesture at this point.

    Now please stop speaking out of your asshole.

  • Obama isn't socializing anything. The healthcare reform bill isn't about buying or banning private healthcare - it's nothing of the sort. So STFU about Obama and socialism. It's a stupid, made-up argument.

    Bush bought a share in all major banks in America. He also sent out free "tax rebates" - which weren't tax rebates at all. He did that with borrowed money.

    Tell me retard - what is more socialist than government run banks and giving away free money to your citizens?

  • Could you conservative Americans please look to overseas nations who do have universal health care and find whether death panels exist in any of them!

    People from other contries are laughing at the conservatives in the United States at how rediculous the debate on health care has become!

  • alright now your just being stubborn. Nice talking to you, don't bother replying.

  • lol you think you're clever but you're just ignoring my last comment. I mentioned the stimulus packages and healthcare reform, your also ignoring the fact that by your comment "throwing away americans money" means you have been following the news concerning his efforts in the stimulus packages and healthcare reform. You already know about it.

    i could mention more but im running out of space to type. just off of the top of my head he allowed citizens to send money and visit family in cuba

  • so you don't mind bush being a big fuck up because he did what you labled "something"

    but because you disagree with obama's actions so somehow he hasn't done anything

    by acknowledging that he's "throwing away americans money", this means you know about the stimulus packages and healthcare reform. Therefore obama has done "something".

    It's really hard to find logic in your generalizations and sarcasm. Wouldn't you rather form a resonable opinion instead of just negative rambling?

  • it still find it odd that you are insinuating that obama is doing "nothing" while bush took more days off than any president before him.

    Obama hasn't furfilled some of his major campaign promises but he's done alot, your generalizations are way off the mark.

  • i seriously doubt obama comes even close to george bush's record.

  • calikushmj420,

    ("Most Socialist countries might pay higher taxes, but there citizens don't pay for health care, retirement and many others we pay a fortune for.")

    I don't understand your Logic, YOU PAY HIGHER TAXES TO HAVE THESE THINGS. YES YOU DO PAY FOR THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The cost is included in your TAX. Where the rubber meets the road, Bottom line, I handle MY money better then the Government does.

  • jew

  • WTF is so wrong with being a socialist?

    Republicans like to label Socialism as horrible as if it were a third world country democracy. Socialism does what a government is suppose to do and that is Protect freedom, and offer services to its people. Does this not sound like America! Most Socialist countries might pay higher taxes, but there citizens dont pay for health care, retirement and many others we pay a fortune for. Many citizens in socialist countrys live better lives than we do in America

  • All these liberals blindly following Obama have no idea what's really going on! This is the opposite of socialism, this is removing any sort of socialist health structure we once had. Obama's advisor shaping the health bill, Ezekiel Emanuel, is trying to copy the British health denial system of Tony Blair, NICE, which denies care to the extent that you have women in labor being told to find their own transportation to the hospital (sorry, no ambulance for poor single mothers).

  • calikushmj420, what is so wrong with being a socialist? Socialism = Big government making decisions for you, and taking wealth from earners to give to non-earners until everyone is supposed to have the same wealth. This discourages everyone to earn therefore brings down the whole country. Communism is the perfect socialism so just look at Vietnam, North Korea or Cuba.

  • Well if Sarah Palin is the first in line. We should really consider a death panel bill.I will be happy if I never have to hear her "folksy,oh gee,golly gosh I can see Russia from my house stupidity ever again.

  • jxsilicon9, do you even know that Sarah Palin never says that she could see Russia from her house? That was an attempt to destroy her by Tina Fey from SNL.

    Sarah Palin did say that Russia can be seen from Alaska which is a fact.

    So who is stupid now?

  • But she was answering a question about her experience and seeing Russia from Alaska was her foreign policy experience, so she is still stupid.

    The point of all this debate is that death panels are a lie invented by the GOP so they can keep lining their pockets with money from insurance companies. If polictians are that corrupt, if news networks are that dishonest and if the public are that gullable, there really is no hope for America. At least give Obama the chance to fail.

  • Hey. Godwin's law.

  • Why is anything I see nowadays starting to sound like Germany of WW2?

  • ur zionist media is killing u

  • u people r pathetic...

    goverment fooling u people to think this healtcare is a big issue.. saying there is not enough morny for all the american citizen.. BUT but israel the terror state have to have billions every year... wars based on lies where trillions r being spend is A MUST. american sons and soldiers MUST die in illigal war and for israel. we want u to die for israel and die for illigal war so we the goverment and israel can be rich.

    pathetic americans, fools.. terrorists.

  • "One person says one thing and the other one says another one and you don't know which one is really telling the truth."

    That's why you read the fucking thing yourself and do yer own thinkin'

  • last time i checked... SARAH PALIN IS A FUCKING IDIOT

  • Youth in Asia

  • How can us Old people be getting one of those Youths in Asia ? I'm all for it.

  • "One person says one thing and another says another and you don't know which one is telling the truth." That's what's wrong with democracy.

  • That's not whats wrong with democracy. The problem lies when people don't act upon their given rights. In other words, when people don't research the thing themselves.

  • People can't research everything themselves.

  • People may not be able to research everything for themselves, but the people out should at least know what the are talking about. I mean come on now....Nazi's weren't even socialists(REDS or commies), they HATED socialists(REDS or commies)NAZIS WERE FASCISTS!!!!!! It so much easier to be fat and stupid in America than any where else.

  • While I think none of this has anything to do with the Nazis, they were National "Socialists." But, people are mostly irrational. If you put the fear in them, it works the magic. That's what leaders do. Leading people has less to do with reasoning with them than with pushing their buttons. This makes democracy a blunt policy instrument.

  • True, but you can research the important things that matter to you. Like,uh, healthcare.

    You especially need to research something like "Death Panels". In this day and age, there is no excuse.

  • That's what's right with democracy and that's what's hard about it; the fact that you have to make an effort to find out what the truth is and when you do, to keep going because it inevitably changes.

  • You can make all the effort you like, ultimately you have to trust sources.
