Armey, Coburn and the guy who dunked on LeBron.

Was she in the hospital for a hip transplant and then died? Sure was convenient for racist granny to go like that.

Well, “journalists” don’t have nothing to investigate when Dims are in power.

Pray for AMerica

Watching the Carvilles go at it on CNN

Was Mary wearing a shiny white dress, and was Wolf the interviewer, and did you see the segment this morning? I ask because I watched the above discussion on utube? video a few days ago, and wondered if CNN had pre-taped the segment, and wanted to get the message out before the Sunday show that no one watches.

Perhaps ;^)...however; did it ever get reported if the old woman even had a funeral?

[GrandmaPatriot]

There was a memorial and then later her ashes were thrown in the ocean.

Cedric, I’m glad you put the “we” in quotes because from what I’ve seen you’ve had nothing constructive to say today, which is too bad, as you usually do.

I suggest you refocus away from revenge and feuding over to the topic this thread is about: The Sunday Talk shows.

Thanks!

To add to your very informative post, employer-sponsored health insurance is a ‘loophole’ that would be excoriated if democrats wanted to demonize it.

Consider: The average employer-coupled family plan costs about $12000 per year, and according to info posted on one of this morning’s shows about 2/3rds of that is paid by the employer.

So an average of $8000 in round numbers is given to each employee in a tax-free basis. That is a “loophole” in the classic definition of that pejorative word.

A paycheck increased by $8000 in a year would cause an increase in tax liability of at least $2000 to most taxfilers.

Decoupling health insurance by making the cost tax neutral for people with employer-paid or without employer-paid programs would go a long way to making the entire system more cost effective, because people would be more vested in spending health insurance and health care dollars more wisely.

...and with their duty-to-die-shovel-ready-granny-plan, they were hoping few of the 67ers would ever reach 67 or at least not linger around on earth much longer than 67 years!

PS...I think they are both stupid AND evil.

I agree. Have you seen the Coburn/Ryan Patient's Choice Act?

[rodguy911]

You sure make sense John.

[Jeff Chandler]

When a routine chest X-Ray discovered a spot on my lung, the doctor’s office called me on Saturday and told me to come in Monday morning. Monday morning I was counseled by our family doctor and within the hour I had CT scans done. A week later I had a PET scan, and a week after that I was seeing a pulmonary specialist.

From what I have read, you do not receive that kind of service in the socialized health services in Mother England or the other colonies.

Another case in point: When my 15-year-old daughter had to be admitted into the hospital for what ended up being a month’s stay, there were many emergency procedures performed by specialists who were outside of my health insurance PPO system, and were therefore not very well covered. The insurance only paid a tiny percentage of their very high fees. Nobody ever hesitated to perform a necessary procedure, and all of the non-system specialists gave us huge discounts on their services. Nobody was greedy.

I mention all of this in defense of our present health care system.

Obama Will Skip His Grandmother's Memorial Today

[rodguy911]

I guess truth is we all want truly free market capitalism but we have anything but,it is truly manipulated by govt. at so many levels.

[rodguy911]

Yeah I believe it,taxes are a huge part of what I pay. Withholding ,social security, Medicare, excise, gas, fuel,property the list goes on.

[rodguy911]

I agree, but remember the rats main mission at this point it to self destruct. They are well on their way. Just look at the Jokers polling for the past 6 months, straight down.

[rodguy911]

Good question. I really don’t know. I saw it but can’t recall which dress she wore,or context of a few days ago.)(I’d make a lousy spy)

[Gritty]

We are going to go from the best healthcare in the world to a rundown corrupt Turd World cash machine.

Re your Post #62...

You've nailed it!!

[rodguy911]

I know exactly where you are going and I believe she did. But it was tightly managed as I recall. You never know with these criminals in office what the real truth is.
