You should have seen the look on my kids face when he saw the video about how the conservatives now want to re-write the bible.

It was a great hour. I'm planning on donating to help bring about Keith's idea of establishing healthcare clinics in the states where the conservative democrats who oppose reform are. I think Keith's idea is pretty good. Maddow came on immediately after Olbermann's show and she had some good ideas on how to turn up the heat on these so-called democrats. This is arm-twisting time and I'm all for it.

Wow, a Keith Olbermann special! I'm sure the better part of a hundred people will tune in.

"The chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives are accounting for potentially 80 percent of the total health care bill out here." -Obama

"I happen to be a proponent of single-payer." -Obama

When adopting a monopsony, it is essential to control everyone's health purchases.

As in HR 3200, Sec 123, the solution to this is a Health Care Advisory Board. According to Sec 1233, HCAB will make decisions regarding end-of-life care, such as how much care if any is administered.

So you're buying tht old tired line about euthanasia> Give me and example... and them we'll talk

[aeuiono]

I saw Keith Olbermann rant for one hour that expanding government health care is a fight against death.

Government health insurance (Medicare) is the largest denier of health claims, triple the average of private insurers.

The govt has proven itself inept at running the IHS and the VA in both quality of care and fiscal sustainability.

If this was about life vs death, then why does he support euthanasia and abortion? Because it isn't about life vs death, it's about liberty vs tyranny.

What a stupid comment. Answer this, why are you against what you just saw and heard.

Bawney Fwank (ran a gay brothel from his basement),

Roland Burris (paid Rod Blagojevich for his Senate seat,

Robert Byrd (unrepentant klansmen),

Jimmy Carter (Jew hater, racist).

LOLOL PLease don't hit em with facts aeuiono.

By the way, you forgot Chris Dodd, Timmy "the taxcheat" Geitner, Tom Daschle, etc, etc...

[brian38383838]

aeuiono you better watch your back, the WH is taking names.

If anything, olberdork made me like the public option LESS. When liberals get serious about reforming health care (tort reform, portability, medical savings accounts) I will jump right on the band wagon, but as of now, they are just trying to fatten the pockets of the lawyers and the administration.

"The fight against death" -

What a moron. We're dying alright. Dying from a government that keeps taking and taking and taking, doing its best to convince us it's for our own good.
