AP once claimed to be a news organization — but this claim has been widely debunked and everyone now acknowledges the fact that AP is a propaganda arm of the Democrat Party.

The Associated Depressed is nothing more then mouth pieces for Obama and his cronies. Everyone knows that “Death Panels” are real..for God’s sake they had to take it out of the damn bill before it was passed.

There is stuff in this bill that has nothing to do with healthcare that is law and we have no idea what it is. This bill needs to be killed in it’s entirety imediately without delay.

AP Wrongly Claims Palin's Figurative 'Death Panels' Contention 'Now Widely Debunked'

"AP lies bald-faced yet again".

no one was given time to read the 1,100-page, 186,000-word bill before they voted on it.

And yet they voted anyway. Those voting with the president sold their souls, voting for they knew not what. Those voting against ought to have refused to vote at all. The law is illegitimate. A congress that votes for a law they didn't write and didn't read is itself illegitimate and deserving of impeachment if there were anyone left with the moral authority to impeach them.

A president who rules by decree, issuing laws that get passed unread, is a dime-store Hugo Chavez. As others have said, he isn't the problem though. The people who voted for him and the lawmakers who laid down for him are the problem. We can survive a usurper in the White House. We can't survive if people just roll over.

Daschle says health-care reform “will not be pain free.” Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them. That means the elderly will bear the brunt.

As Obama is fond of saying "Let's be clear": "units" over 70 will be told to take a pain pill.

The Weekly Standard had a good article on all this political "fact checking":

Lies, Damned Lies, and ‘Fact Checking’: The liberal media’s latest attempt to control the discourse.

The subtitle says a lot. These "Fact Checks" treat questions of interpretation, opinion, or prediction as if they were open-and-shut cases of truth or lie, and most of the "fact checks" are directed against Republicans, rather than Democrats.

There’s healthcare related stuff in other bills, such as the comprehensive student data base to be administered by Arne Duncan, Dept. of Education. Children’s health records and parents’ voting status will be included in the data base.

Congresscritters of any party should vote no if they haven’t had time to read the bills.

The Death panels were not in the health care bill because they were already created and funded by the stimulus bill.

The panel already exists and you can look up and see pictures of the people who are on it.

Betsy McCougney originated the term “death panels”, in her NY race and debate, and appeared using the term on FOX, and was bashed for it by Jon Stewart on his show.

Sarah smartly picked up the dead-on phrase, twittered it as her own, attributed it to no one, and has gotten by with owning it ever since, thanks partly to her fans, who from the get-go required nothing original from Sarah at any point after the sparkling speech at the convention. Given her utilitarian purpose to McCain where she dutifully served, Palin was properly perched to garner broad exposure to Betsy’s remark, pull it off as her own, and keep the accolades.

But...

But...

But...

In the Obamacare bill, aren’t people over the age of seventy referred to as ‘units’?

And...

And...

And...

Isn’t medical care denied to people in the Obamacare bill, I mean, UNITS, over the age of 70?

And didn’t Obama say that granny might just need to take a pill instead of getting treatment?

They are going to ration care if this bill does not get repealed in entirety.

Older folks are going to pay more than they can afford for lousier care than they have now.

This is the left’s answer to SS. Just make sure all the old folks get denied care.

Then they die.

” Prettier than you, is she? “ <<<<

Definitely, prettier than me. And, more manipulative.

Some of you can’t ever argue the issue for staring at the package. Her beauty, nor mine, has nothing even remotely to do with the fact I posted but much to do with superficiality. I think I get it, now.

Perry, when you check those JOBS figures, is not exactly incompetent. There are some brilliant folks out there who can’t touch those numbers, btw. Rub that in.

Keep telling yourself that looks is why the majority of her supporters back her. I backed Reagan, Thompson, Haig, Forbes and Barbour. Must’ve been their looks there, too, huh?
