Grassley needs to answer serious questions. There was no outrage when Teagaggers pounded the town halls talking about insane stuff like 'death panels'. Poor Grassley...got asked a legitimate question.

@RetSquid "Some Committee somewhere will decide who lives and who dies"....Already happening. It's called Blue Cross Blue Shield. Your insurance company already decides if they are going to pay for your breast cancer, more than likely they are going to find a reason to drop you. So are you saying that health care systems in the EU have death panels that decide peoples fate? Keep getting your indoctrination from the CorpoWhores at Fox and in the GOP and you will always be taken advantage of.

You just proved you were never in the Navy. NEC=Navy Enlisted Classification code. I was an EW and then a CTT, those are "ratings", I was also an E-6, that was my "rate". My NEC's were 1731, 1733, 1737, and 9502.

@RetSquid You gave yourself away. The Navy doesn't refer to them as NEC...they are called "Ratings". I thought you were a "Retired Squid". Guess "Ret" stands for "Retarded"

The rude man who pushed and cussed at the end was Douglas Burns, a columnist for the Carroll Daily Times Herald who the wrote an article in the newspaper about how "shameful, hateful and dangerous" these people were who dared to ask questions! Shame on Doug Burns! We should be asking questions...WE pay these people! They represent US!

[tangogonzo]

Yes Mr. Burns ....you should not tell lies in your column if the TRUTH is caught on tape...so the only one being rude and swearing or howling as you say...was YOU!

@ZOMGitsJesusCriss

When did the Navy ever have an NEC for haters like you?

[ZOMGitsJesusCriss]

@RetSquid Moron or what?

@ZOMGitsJesusCriss

So no reply to my logic, just an ad hominem. Good job, libby.

@RetSquid Dear Squid. You must be one of my fellow Squids that we used to not let on ships because, shall we say they had no...er "penis". I understand that you are very sensitive and think that every thing you hear/read is some kind of slam on your conservative nature. That is not the case, I challenge you to show where I was a "liberal hater" or a "typical name calling liberal". Getting beside that...don't you think you are easily able to get your panties in bunch? I'm thinking so.

@ZOMGitsJesusCriss

And you don't have to use BC/BS, you will have to use B.O.'s program and there WILL be a panel to decide who gets treatment and who doesn't. And yes, the E.U. DOES have such panels already.

Good job keeping up the liberal's hater platform.
