"As a concerned American citizen, I apologize to President Bush because my remark was disrespectful. I feel that whoever holds that office should be treated with the utmost respect." - Natalie Maines in response to the backlash for her comments about George W. Bush.
Fox News is actively destroying the Republican Party. All this "nazi", "communist", "fascist" (or whatever they can think of) talk is ridiculous, and they know it. It's outright propaganda (look it up in the dictionary). They talk about taxes. Google "historical top tax rate" and you'll see that we've had much MUCH higher taxes in the past, especially in times of war. Everybody chipped in to stabilize the country when it was needed, like we do RIGHT NOW!!!!
The point of the taxes argument is not that they are high, it is that the fed is using hard earned money to promote unconstitutional programs. Yes, the taxes were high in times of war and it would be fine today as well, but President Obama has CUT military spending and defense spending, so where is that money going? To the unconstitutional programs, which is hurting our economy and destabilizing our country. Also, I am not a republican OR a democrat, I'm just an American.
Every CEO of every health insurance company deserves to be arrested, tried for the negligent homicide of every person her/his company denied health care to who subsequently died, and needs to be put to death.
Every health insurance company in America is complicit in murder!
Maybe a bit over the top but I agree that it is outright barbaric to let somebody pay for many years and then when the shit hits the fan just drop them. That is real nazi like. That is a real death panel.
Or when people in insurance companies get bonuses when they find ways to deny expensive coverage. That is why I think profit does not always has our best interest.
I don't reallt believe in the death penalty...but I really don't think liberals do a good job articulating just why we need health care reform in the first place.
I mean, all you need to do is remind Americans of the fact that almost everybody, regardless of whether you have insurance or not, faces the threat of financial devastation under our current health care system.
Then of course, you have to remind people that insurance companies are complicit in homicide.
Where was the right ring outrage when Bush threw out habeas corpus, or started doing illegal wiretaps, or prevented people from voicing there opinion via t-shirts at rallies? Bush stepped on the American constitution and wiped his ass with it. All Obama wants to do is make America more progressive, like every other god damn western nation. It just feels like a lot of Americans are either misinformed, stupid or both.
im beginning to think mccain has been a democrat with a republican mask on all along.
And yes those people have a damn right to be concerned you fucking ingrates. theyve been paying taxes longer, paying into retirement funds longer, paying medicare longer, had to deal with the IRS longer and lived through more bullshit.If any citizens have the right, they do, so shut your fucking mouths and respect the generation that left you with a future to carry on.
The Rule of Law; the Role of the US Government, according to the US Constitution, are an Arbitrator of Domestic Disputes, & an Organizer of Military Force against Foreign Invasions, No More, or No Less. Thus, if the US Government does More than those, then its Unconstitutional, & illegal.
"how is the president getting by with all of this money uh its against the constitution. doesn't he know that we still live under a constitution.." My wild guess is that she is NOT a Harvard Law grad!
And without those old Repiblicans you wouldnt have the country you live in, the food in you belly, the roof over your head, the safety for your children. Your lack a respect for the great things that that generation gave us shows that you are on the wrong side of history. Remember its their generation that got us out of the first great depression. I refuse to give up my country to the children of the 3rd world under guise of "Hope" and "Change"
McLiberal vs. Obama bin Marxist -- it's a sad day in America, thanks to the 99%-Democrat press who helped President Hussein defraud his way into the White House.
Critics charge that the public plan will be subsidized by the government. Here they have their facts wrong. Under every plan that's being discussed on Capitol Hill, subsidies go to individuals and families who need them in order to afford healthcare, not to a public plan. Individuals and families use the subsidies to shop for the best care they can find. They're free to choose the public plan, but that's only one option. They could take their subsidy and buy a private plan just as easily.
Critics say the public option is really a Trojan Horse for a government takeover of all of health insurance. But nothing could be further from the truth. It's an option. No one has to choose it. Individuals and families will merely be invited to compare costs and outcomes. Presumably they will choose the public plan only if it offers them and their families the best deal -- more and better healthcare for less.
When the Constitution was written, most black people in America were slaves. Not fully people. Could THAT be what cranky granny meant with her question? She wants to go back to her girlhood in the pre-Civil War days? Anyway, she's obviously just a little dope, just like the rest of the dopes doing the booing here. Beckheads, one and all.
Strike the Root, 16 amendment was never ratify, corporations were suppose to pay taxes off their surplus & profits, not individuals from labor & wages. Article 1, section 8 does not allow the gov. to run Health Care!

In the defense of the old people there, they are first in line to be put before the death panels. The practical matter is this....whoever is in office is going to have to cut back on Medicare/Medicade. That mean old people are not going to get the care they want. The Republicans have been trying to do it for years. Now the Democrats HAVE to do it because of cost-cutting measures.
America, just think that your TAX DOLLARS are helping to make these old farts live and hate just a little longer. I do applaud McCain to say what he did but it shows you a group of those "Real American's" Sarah Palien was talking about. I was not a fan of Bush and he is the worst we ever had and didn't abide by the US Constitution but I would have been piss*ed at anyone saying this about a sitting President! Yes, I am for DEATH PANELS for old farts like this! I will pull the plug, happily.
Lol, I with you on this! Look at them, all old crusty white folk. AND YES I'M WHITE!! My point is that there is no diversification as far as race goes in the GOP, for the most part...
