Her rants are everything you said she will say literally anything (and she is quick on her feet), to get elected.
How do you bring jobs back to Indiana, change the tax code, that's what lawyers do!
Of course in the real world when your competition pays a buck an hour and you pay 30 bucks an hour, who do you think will always get the work, it's a no brainer.
You’re right, so far the coverage has been of Obama’s associates, and those who want to defend him can claim that that’s not what Obama himself thinks. But I think his 2, 2! autobiographies (by his 40’s!) are among the sufficient materials available to pin a common mindset onto him directly. The radical associates are just softening up the argument so it will be more believable when it is more strongly made.
But controlling my own destiny, that is freedom.
Capitalism has many aspects and not all of them good.
Agreed, STARWISE, totally agreed.
You could very well be right. I don’t know so your logic makes sense to me.
Most doctors of the caliber of your consultant will be associated with several hospitals both private and NHS and in fact may even own their own clinics and house abroad probably even a clinic abroad.
It is crazy in Britain wait 7 or 8 months to see someone or pay a couple of hundred dollars and see the same person at a private hospital the next week.
Exactly Star and it works everywhere except in the Presidential vote where a 99% black vote is not enough to get the job done.
Brilliant summation Star.
Don't despair. The rising generation has the capacity to be a great one. Much of our military is 18-22 year olds. And every generation seeks to define themselves, often very differently than the preceding generation.
For sure, we have to dig more and come up with who the real bama really is.
they will change the venue every time to another topic
Yep, talk about the morality of low income tax rates and letting s0omeone keep most of what they earn, than Democrats automatically change the subject to Republican spending when they were in charge. Republicans at least cut some tax rates, though it is moronic to leave the income rates so high when the capitol gains rate is only 15%.

Its a new world.
She’s taller than Georgie, and taking advantage of it. Too funny. What’s surprising is she didn’t throw something at him.
I hang onto every word of your wisdom and experience.
I can certainly see how the diagnosis would be the sticky part of this whole transaction. I can understand that in a socialized medical world that same diagnosis would be a difficult route indeed.
In fact, my own diagnosis was a bit unwieldy but thanking God, again, once that Cardiologist realized how bad a shape I was in...boom, I was in the hospital.
At first I went to the Cardiologist. I called my insurance company’s 800 number for a referral. I was totally in the dark about it all, never had to enter into such a medical protocol before in my life. I got a referral, good location near me, made an appointment.
Part of my “problem”, for want of a better word, was my own total cavalier attitude about my heart problem. “I am quite healthy,” I told the medical receptionist. “I just need the heart doc to take a look,” I said so sweetly. “Something doesn’t seem right.”
so the doc saw me, then he set me up on a medical protocol. An ECG that same day indicated something was wrong with my heart. But I smiled and told the doc that hey, it’s nothing. Probably just me changing life...hormones, something like that.
Still the Cardio doc did the right thing. No hurry, no emergency. But he had me have my blood tested, he scheduled an echo in his office, I had to go hither for a chest X-ray (former HEAVY smoker). I have a very strong familial history of heart issues, my Dad having a heart attack at age 42 and his whole family, the infamous MCLAUGHLINS all had heart issues.
Still I was cavalier, happy, the chest pains, the rapid heart beat not that often but scary as hell when they did happen. the Cardio doc set me on the medical protocol and gave me the world-famous baby aspirin treatment plus beta blockers to stop the rapid heartbeat episodes.
It took one solid month, until the day of the stress test, until EVERYONE involved got a clue how bad it really was. The cardio guy was shaking he got so scared. He told me he thought I had a simple problem with tachycardio something-something and he went over with his staff that why wasn’t I scheduled for a stress test right away?
Point is, the guy cared as he’s running a business. Said business being to take care of people’s hearts and he makes no money should I die. Okay, that sounds callous but it’s true. He visited me in the hospital last week a couple of times. Everytime he told me how damn scared he got when my heart almost stopped during the stress test.
Once that happened I was in the hospital.
How long would I have had to wait for that echocardiogram, that Holter monitor, that stress test, had I had to stand in a long line awaiting the diagnosis?
As it was, the only reason it took a month was perhaps my own ignorance of the severity of what I faced and the Cardiac people’s slowness to react. Although I think they did the right thing given the circumstances but I appreciate that THEY too learned a thing or two.
Anyway, give me time to recover and my mission in life is to STOP this country from a steady march to socialized medicine.
Every time some genius plays with the tax code more and more dollars flee the country,its so stupid.
Meet his new Pastor!
