Comparing the “Healthcare Decisions Day” proclamation to Section 1233 of HR 3200 is ridiculous. The two are like apples and oranges. The attempt to link the two shows how desperate the proponents of nationalized health care are to shift the debate away from the disturbing details of their bill.

I get the feeling that Newt is threatened by Sarah’s clout - was he planning on running in 2012 and is afraid of being eclipsed?
I hardly think Sarah needs his advice in what to do with her life - including moving to the east coast. She’s doing just fine from Alaska.
forget about newt and all of that... read the rest of the article where she lies about Palin...
Oh gee, a NYT Left Wing Extremist disagrees w/Gov Palin; how shocking. It is really sad when a semi-attractive woman becomes an old maid...Couldn’t be envy.
Pray for America and Lady Palin
I understand your sentiment but I can’t spare so much as an electron for Dowd, even if it would lead to snarking on her.
I kind of feel sorry for her though, she’s so.......miserable.
Mo Dowdy notwistanding, Newt needs to pull his head out of his sycophantic East-coast arse and get a real life. The man is incoherent when it comes to Sarah Palin, which is a pity because they could learn a lot from each other. She might learn some of the sneaky little tricks of getting around in DC, and he might even learn to be a man and find out where his blankety-blank gonads are. (if he even has a pair...)

If you have HiDef TV, the next time MoDo is on Meet the Press, look closely and you’ll see that she has had so much Botox over the many years that her pupils no longer dilate...
Dowd has become Sarah-obsessed. It seems she’s writing about Palin every other column lately. Sarah’s inside their heads setting the charges that will make those heads explode.

Ain’t it somethin’, Modo?
She took a forum, Facebook, more commonly used by kids hooking up and cyberstalking, and with one catchy phrase, several footnotes and a zesty disregard for facts, managed to hijack the health care debate from Mr. Obama.
It was really that simple.
Barry really is a dumba$$.

I don’t quite understand the argument that Section 1233 of HR 3200 is an attempt to coerce seniors into ending their lives by offering free counseling about end of life decisions. The counseling is voluntary; the coercion supposedly comes from your physician’s inability to turn down the $$$ he would make from the counseling; i.e., the money from the counseling session would make him unable to ethically decide whether you really needed it.
I say if your physician cannot be trusted to make his health care decisions separate and apart from the profit motive, then it is clear why we are having a health care crisis—the doctors make more money when they prescribe more treatment. More office visits, more physical therapy, more surgery, more MRI’s....all done in the name of increasing their paycheck. Now actually, I agree with this assessment, but there has been precious little talk about how the profit motive influences doctors treatment decisions. Over treatment is always blamed on trial lawyers. But studies have consistently shown that where doctors are paid on a salary basis, rather than fee for service, the health care bills go down substantially. This is an avenue for reform that deserves more consideration.
And the obsession with SArah Palin continues. Question: “If she is hurting Pubs everywhere, wouldn’t ignoring her be the sensible approach?”
I was watching Laura Ingram subbing for BOR and she had a RAT on, who was oozing disdain for anyone who was opposing anything not to his liking. He was allegedly a speechwriter for Biden. Ha, how do you write speeches for a plagarizer? that’s got to be some cushy goverment job, like traffic light observer or Director of Communications (Exrtaterrestrial Division).
