“what did the Senate take out?”
Exactly what the local morning radio guy asked a colleague.
No answer.
INDEED! INDEED! INDEED!
I realize the poll is not scientific.
I realize it won’t influence a great deal in the end.
NEVERTHELESS, I LOVE EVERY CHANCE TO SHOVE CNN’S GLOBALIST TRAITOROUS HIDEOUSNESS . . . WHERE IT FITTINGLY FITS . . .
on such issues.
besides, we can FREEP A POLL FAR BETTER THAN THE OTHER SIDE . . .
IF WE WILL.
BTTT
Thanks, Quix. Most of the time with CNN, all you can do is get it closer.
I UNDERSTAND.
However, if baby boomer FREEPER conservative Christians like myself
cannot or will not
stand up and be counted on something as important as life and death . . .
That’s a pretty sobering sad state of affairs.
Incredible.
All it takes is a few seconds of bother.
Sigh.
GRRRR
Bump!
YOU ARE INCREDIBLY CORRECT AND RIGHT ON TARGET.
THX.
“End-of-life counseling” and the death panels are two different things. The mandatory end-of-life “counseling” sessions are to encourage suicide for old or terminally ill patients. The death panels are just the normal process we’ll have to go through to request (beg for) treatment.
THANKS.
BTTT

I know I am not going to live for ever but if it came down to a choice of me bankrupting me and mine for a few months of Life, I would choose to croak. But only IF I did the choosing.
I saw that. He said that this was a cost saving move. Then they went to a segment on the helicopter crash over the Hudson last week. I believe Geraldo said he knew the pilot and how tragic his death was. My husband said, “think how much cost this man saved the govt. by dying in the crash instead of waiting for the govt. to have to take care of his health later in his life.”
Of course they were - not by name, but by practical outcome. The bill DOES describe cessation of nutrition & hydration as options to be discussed - options which no sane person would opt for, and thus could ONLY be opted for by others (the “panel”) either imposing their will or persuading the patient to that end.
Z. Emanuel wrote of such decisions to limit end-of-life treatments as part of his treatise on the subject.
The reality of the term may be more nuanced than the soundbite version, but the axiom is still there - others impose their will upon doctor & patient.
INDEED.
I’m all for the first elevator out of this rat’s nest of a planet racing toward hell.
Do you believe the Death Panels were in there before they were removed or was it all a Sarah Palin lie? Do you think they should have been removed? Not that they ever there in the first place
I know!...you are completely right!
When did we get to this point of everything we do is wrong, and everything they do is right?
And when it’s pointed out that they have lied, they ignore it and go right on and act as if they are the ones offended.
We truly live in an upside down world!
Scripture says in...Is 5:20
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
The news we kept to ourselves
Eason Jordan, CNN Chief News Executive
On April 11, 2003, Jordan revealed that CNN knew about human rights abuses committed in Iraq by Saddam Hussein since 1990 and provided gifts to Saddam's family in a New York Times story called The News We Kept to Ourselves[1] Jordan claimed that reporting Saddam's crimes against humanity would have jeopardized the lives of Iraqi informants, and confidentiality was ensured to protect the lives of anti-Hussein Iraqi activists and translators. Critics point out that the suppression of such news carries an aura of a tit-for-tat mentality, as CNN enjoyed a very unique and close relationship with the Iraqi government.
In November 2004 at the News Xchange conference in Portugal, Jordan claimed that United States armed forces were arresting and torturing non-coalition Arabic journalists in Iraq. He offered no proof of this claim.
On January 27, 2005, during the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, Jordan was reported to have said that American troops were targeting journalists. Although there is no transcript of Jordan's statement, Barney Frank claimed Jordan seemed to be suggesting "it was official military policy to take out journalists", and later added that some U.S. soldiers targeted reporters "maybe knowing they were killing journalists, out of anger".[1]
He was portrayed by the actor Clark Gregg in "Live From Baghdad" (2002), a film about the team of CNN journalists who covered the first Gulf War. As CNN was the only news organization broadcasting live first hand reports of the war, this is widely considered the event that "put CNN on the map".

I wish you would be so politically correct and tell us what you really feel. :->
Too bad, just too bad, CNN could have the moxy to word the bill as it was WRITTEN....they know and WE know that the DEATH PANEL (what is actually would operate as) was called a COMMITTEE review.....CNN IS DISHONEST in a swarmy way.
