Where's the concern for the dying US children?

Posted By: No bill is perfect, but all kids need medical care on 2007-09-28
In Reply to: My big concern is what is attached to that - bill that we don't know about.....nm

I don't know whether you are a Republican or Democrat (or neither), but I have found that many Republicans are against this bill.  The ironic thing to me is that many Republicans are pro-life.  Many care so much about saviing the babies in the womb, but where is the concern for little children who are suffering?  I think it's hypocritical for one to say that they care so much about bringing this life into the world and giving it a chance to live, and yet if that same child gets leukemia it's on it's own because God forbid our taxes might get raised or something.


Sometimes you just have to DO THE RIGHT THING.  I believe the right thing is health insurance for all American children.  What would Jesus do?

Age has nothing to do with dying?
Any president can die at anytime is correct, but age has a lot to do with dying. People actually die of old age!! Average life expectancy for American male is around 76. McCain has been through torture, cancer, and who knows what else.
They are fighting. And they are dying for their cause. sm
Every single day they are fighting.  They have a trained military now.  They also have their police force.  Many of them have given up their lives for the cause.  It takes time to train a military. 
Dying breed?
Hardly. There will always be a two-party system in America - as long as Obama doesn't make his next power grab to declare himself King Obama.

I seem to remember a time when the Democrats were floundering (out of power for many years), but they're still here - just needed to regroup. Not too long from now, they'll screw things up, just like the Republicans did, and the country will want a change (a change back to real American values). And the Republicans will still be there; you can take that to the bank (if there are any left not run by the government by then.)

When they become the dying breed, God help America. Until that day
these people will take up for the troops when your antiwar sentiment sends their spirits into the crapper.
Heartless, mean and spiteful even when someone is dying

They ARE dying. They're losing every one of them.

Pubs are Not Dying Breed

These people are the last of a dying breed. They don't even realize...sm
that the rest of the country is falling out of the lock step routine.

I hope more people come to see the incompetence that led our troops to Iraq and we get an exit strategy ASAP.
Well over 12,000 sick & dying in NYC - environmental catastrophe.sm

I am sure there are people dying now who have no health care...
there are millions dying who DO. You really think that preventative and "maintenance" health care are going to "drastically" cut the number of catastrophic events...how do you figure that? Are you going to change the way people think? I would like to know the percentage of people who ARE insured who do preventative and maintenance health care? I know a whole lot of women who don't go for Paps and mammos every year, who are covered, simply because they don't want to. Has nothing to do with being insured or not. In fact, I would be willing to bet that a lot of people who are insured don't even use it until they have that catastrophic event and that is when they use it...that is what they think they have it for. And Obama and his advisors know that too...if he wants that kind of rationale to work then he is going to have to think of a way to force people to engage in preventative and maintenance health care...well maybe that is where the national security force comes in. Sigh.
We have people dying in Iraq and in a hurricaine and you are worried about this! /

Or how about leaving your wife who is sick and dying of cancer to run for President
There! Don't sling mud unless your prepared to get it back in the face.

Palin has a loving and caring family that is backing her and taking care of things - and I doubt very much she is "leaving" her baby. Sheesh! Your trying to make it sound like she's dropping her child off on a cold street corner with nobody to take care of them. If your going to go there then you might as well say and what father would leave his 2 young children to run for President.
My overall concern is that it is the US
that are detaining these children, and there doesn't seem to be much transparency about what is really going on. I would like full disclosure. It seems that quite a few agencies that have inquired about it have been shunned, at least in the beginning. And in the beginning, a lot of these children were being detained in adult jails/camps and interrogated as adults. That I believe is a war crime and someone should be held accountable.

I would feel much more comfortable and positive about the overall situation if it were being handled soley by the Iraqi people. If not, it will look like coercion. I'm not saying we shouldn't help, but that perhaps it should be more of a long-arm approach (for the lack of a better way to say it). The average Iraqi citizen does not teach their children to kill. It is the extreme Islamists who are preying upon them. It is a very delicate situation that could very well backfire regardless that our intentions are good ones.
I do appreciate your concern about
In a creepy way, I get this slimey feeling that the ACORN controversy is a set-up for exactly that. To make matters worse, I think Ohio will not be alone this year and that every state will face its challenges in this regard. Thing is, it's a little late in the game to be "fixing" that problem now. The progressives have been talking about this problem ever since the last election, but until now, those concerns have been falling on deaf ears.
No concern until one of their own
of course it does not concern them unless one of their own family are blown up, shot, kidnapped or whatever happens the next time.  And don't think there won't be a next time since our country is showing such weakness now.  When it happens to one of their own they will be screaming to high heaven and forget that they backed this closing.
My big concern is what is attached to that
xx
So, I have a question/concern.

Why are the presidential candidates not talking more about pulling us away from oil? or more strategies to get us off oil?  I may be wrong, so please correct me, but I have not heard anything specific about this issue.  John Kerry is the only one I have heard, but not sure how effectual he is.


Last night on Hardball, the money man said to expect that a gallon of gas to go as high as $20 a gallon in the next 10 to 20 years.  Insane.  What is that going to do to the world economy?  I see a global recession coming, and at the rate the US is dragging their feet, we are going to be the hit very, very hard because we still rely too much on oil for just about everything, from cars to home heating to food.  


What are we to do?


Cute.....have a job, thank you so much for your concern...
check the conservative board, liberals post there too. Is it your day to watch me? LOL.
I don't know if concern is the word,
I would like any prospective President to have some first hand knowledge of the rest of the world AND have some kind of relationship with other world leaders. I think both of those are hard to achieve if you cocoon yourself in your own country.
Another huge concern........
Where is all the money coming from being donated to Obama's campaign.  They are using fake names.   Why?  Now, most common sense folks will know why if we don't want to deceive ourselves.  No doubt Muslim organizations, corrupt groups, terrorists related groups.....you name it.  See how well that never gets reported on most of your news channels.  FOX has tried and is bringing it up again but try to get others, with the exception of Lou Dobbs, who will call a spade a spade....and please don't get racial with me.....you know what I mean. 
Still a big concern for those not so easily
Palin's clothes, her trips, family trips. Who cares!!

If you don't want to hear about it, too bad! I can see where you wouldn't; doesn't look good for him.


I don't wear sneakers, but thanks for the concern. nm

Thank you so much for your concern about my energy level.

Well, it makes him decidedly more of a concern...

My biggest concern is how many illegals are

She's not an Obama supporter so no concern

Yeah, we can see that by your post over your concern
Grow up already.
It's not hate, is deep concern
I don't hate Obama. I think he's a fine person. Great with giving speeches and beautiful family. Personally I will enjoy hearing his voice give a speech over McCains voice and was really getting sick of hearing "my friends" in every other sentance of a speech McCain gave. So it's not that I or others hate Obama. Unlike the hate we have seen from the other side.

What it is is very deep concerns that everything we have worked for and everything we aspire for and live for and save for and teach our kids is going to change for the worse. I do not think Obama is qualified to be president. I don't and that is my opinion. Evidently other people do feel otherwise and therefore he became president (which I still have doubts that a president is really elected by the people - I think he was already picked a long time ago). But my gut feeling is the same exact feeling I had for Clinton. He promised us so much while he was campaigning and once he got in he screwed the country royally. This is the same feeling.

I hope I am wrong and honestly if I am wrong and if he does do good things I WILL be on this board and admit that I am wrong. But at the same time when I hear and read that he is doing somthing wrong, not fullfilling (sp?) his campaign promises I will also be on this board posting too.

I will admit that I am not always right, but when I feel strongly and when I feel I am right I speak my mind.

My main concern is his redistribution of weath. I'll tell you if my taxes go up so that people like that girl (forget her name) who said it was a historic moment and never in her whole life did she ever think she would not have to work to pay her mortgate and would not have to work to buy gas - if my taxes go up so that way she can pay her rent and gas and bills because I had to put in an extra 10 hours of work to pay the extra taxes for HER!!!!! You can bet your you know what I'm going to be on this board screaming and shouting.

But DH and I were talking and we said maybe it is someone like Obama who will finally be able to do something right and fight for Americans. One never knows. So if he does I will come on and admit I was wrong.
why don't you show as much concern for the spectacle
right and left, as we speak. You just can't stand the fact that Obama is going to be a fine leader, ran a brilliant campaign, is loved by people all over the world while pub party is basically turning into a laughing stock.
I predict he will be a one-termer....thanks for your concern, tho

NO! Your post above: **My concern lies more with
WHAT LYING? 
Patronizing fake concern for the doggies.
Why don't you post a message with something IN it for a change:) Might help you get rid of some pent up hostility of your own.
No hate from me, just profound concern for my country.
I pray you're right and he does an awesome job. I would have no problem whatsoever apologizing for any negativity I've felt or repeated. I believe we all need to come together now and look forward.
My concern lies more with the lying than the faith...
There are plenty of good people who are Muslim, just as there are plenty of bad people who claim to be Christian. I see it in my church. You cannot judge an entire religion on the actions of the few, but I am troubled that he would lie about his religion to get elected. However, I am really not sure what religion he is. I dislike his politics, nonetheless. I think we are in a world of hurt either way, to be honest.
Where was the concern of anyone when Saddam was killing the Iraqi people?
I must say, this is one of the most egregious of all arguments that is made in this country, or any country.  Saddam tortured, killed, maimed and raped his own people for decades and not a word was said.  Now with a chance for a free Iraq, this concern surfaces. Where was it all these years?
My biggest concern is National Security. Obama

If your biggest concern in life is the Palins, consider yourself blessed. nm

I understand that Obama's connection to an anarchist does not concern you and is not an issue for
it is for some people. Not that alone, but black liberation theology, the Daley political machine in Chicago...yada yada yada...do concern some of us.
We are all God's children. nm

My children.
My children are grown now, well into their 40s.   I have four wonderful grandchildren, whom I adore, the oldest just turned 18.  Our nuclear family puts God first and we follow his teachings.  Abortion would never be something any one of us would contemplate for even the slightest bit of time.  My children and grandchildren do not do this out of fear of reaction from the family but out of love for God and his creations.  We consider abortion murder. It isn't something we would ever do.  I know that the left spins this daily as being fear of retribution. It's too bad that they have lost the ability to see that there are those of us who grieve for the loss of human life, no matter what stage it is in when it ends.
i certainly would. I f you do that to children then you s/m
should have NO rights at all.
do you have children?
christians are not perfect. I don't know of one who claims to be. Yes, things do start at home but that does not mean that adults and children don't make poor choices. I've not heard anyone in the McCain campaign say they are "very religious." Besides, being "religious" doesn't necessarily mean Christian and being a Christian does not mean perfect.

Also, I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth, far from it actually, but I have worked for what I have. I don't expect someone to provide my health insurance or pay my mortgage. I'm supporting McCain.

Tell me what do YOU consider a WONDERFUL FAMILY?
so how do you think that children
have abortions without the parents ever finding out, if they receive a bill in the mail? It has to be paid for by someone other than the parents, or else they would know about it. perhaps not your particular clinic, but it happens.
Wow, children, get over it already...
it's a cartoon, plain and simple. You are the ones making something out of nothing. Find something else to rant and rave over.
Most had their children taken...
away from them and were shot when they tried to escape......it was a horrific event without a doubt. Some couldn't bear to watch their children die so the opted to die to. BUT, I refuse to have someone tell me what I can say and what I can't say because it offends them.
May I ask how many children do you have?..nm
nm
Neither can little children, and look how many have
nm
I actually have 2 children....
And I happen to believe that there is alot more to a relationship than sex.
What about the children
who have been killed by homosexuals and they get very little press? You feel this way because of your son. As a Christian we are to speak out against this, even if it is our children doing it. My children understood when they were young that this was wrong and it was their choice if they did do it. I would NEVER support that choice. This has nothing to do with my head in the sand. It has to do with reality and doing the right thing. Most people who have family members who commit this sin choose to have their head in the sand and ignore what Christ tells us. I won't be one of them.
So you are actually saying that children are not autonomous. sm
That's absurd. And of course, we hear so many cries for Johnson's daughters to join when we were in Vietnam.  Not.  Because Republicans don't do things like that.  Liberals do.  That entire thread is one big joke.
