These are not allegations....the paper trail, media
talks about these things. You have not investigated a darn thing. You just sit there and refuse to see anything you don't want to see.
Try following the trail of comments you are
Your ignorance is showing. If you notice the SUBJECT line I was responding to, you would understand. Try reading EVERYTHING before you spout off. You make yourself look very foolish.
In time this "documentary" will probably go the same trail the first one did...
and lies and misinformation will be exposed. Unfortunately, he would not know honesty if it bit him.
Excuse me...but AL Gore is hardly a pioneer on global warming. But, I would not expect you to know that, because you would probably rather eat nails than read any opposing view. However...if it were Rudy Guiliani or Mitt Romney or any OTHER Republican who made that "documentary" and their science was as flawed as Gore's is, I would say so. Because I do not lock step with either side. If I see something wrong I say so, I don't care what their political affiliation is. The fact that he is a Democrat has nothing to do with it. His science is flawed.
Socialized medicine - government controlled. Socialism - government control making everyone reliant upon and tied to the government for everything. Socialism - socialized medicine. That is what socialized medicine is.
What Congress has is employer subsidized private health care. Albeit much better program than most federal employees. Probably because they get to choose and approve their plan. BOTH sides of the house, liberal Democrat. Your side voted for it just like the other side. If you want their plan, I would suggest you run for office and you will get it free too.
Socialism and all it entails is not a good thing. It has never worked, not anywhere it was tried. Cuba is socialist...and has government health care. Check with the poor folks in Cuba some time. And why, if it is so wonderful, did Castro fly a surgeon in from Spain to take care of him?
Canada has government-run health care. Know where the waiting list people come for their surgeries and emergent care? That would be the good old US. I guess if we get government run health care they will not longer have anyplace to go because we will have waiting lists of our own. The VA is government controlled and run health care, and that is not the entire country. Tell me how well THAT is working, won't you? THAT is a no-brainer for sure.
It all comes down to choices. The truly poor among us go have subsidized health care. When the Democrats quit their political posturing and put together a decent funding bill SCHIP will be insuring children again just like it has for the last 10 years. PA has been insuring ALL kids with SCHIP money for awhile now. Other states could do it too. It comes to choices.
It is time for the government to start managing our money better and all those myriad programs better. Prioritize. I do not make near about $80,000 a year, but I am insured. Sure, it means I can't have some of the things I want, but I made a choice. I need to be insured. I have a decent policy and it doesn't cost anywhere NEAR $1000 a month. There is insurance available. It might not be the creme DE LA creme, but it is better than socialized medicine will EVER be.
And always remember...when you talk about "the government" providing anything...it is coming out of your pocket and mine. "the government" has no money in and of itself. You don't think 30-40% off the top of our wages is enough? I certainly do.
Hiking the Appalachian Trail
Op-Ed Columnist
The Prurient Trap
By CHARLES M. BLOW
Published: June 26, 2009
“Hiking the Appalachian Trail.” Is that what we’re calling it these days? That’s what Gov. Mark Sanford of South Carolina told his staff that he was going to do when he absconded to Argentina to be with his “sweetest” Maria of the “magnificently gentle kisses.”
I had no particular interest in rubbernecking this disaster. People make mistakes. The flesh is weak, the heart disobedient and marriages hard. According to the General Social Survey, about 10 percent of married people admit that they have cheated on their spouses. And, according to a USA Today/Gallup poll taken in March last year, 54 percent of Americans say that they know someone who has been unfaithful. ’Twas ever thus.
At the end of the day, aside from the dereliction of duty and malfeasance, this, for me, would be a private matter. That is if it were not for the appalling hypocrisy of yet another social conservative saying one thing while doing another.
There are Democratic sex scandals to be sure, but Democrats didn’t build a franchise on holier-than-thou moral rectitude. The Republicans did. They used sexual morality as a weapon and now it’s shooting them in the foot.
Sanford voted to impeach Bill Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky saga. According to The Post and Courier of Charleston, Sanford called Clinton’s behavior “reprehensible” and said, “I think it would be much better for the country and for him personally” to resign. “I come from the business side. ... If you had a chairman or president in the business world facing these allegations, he’d be gone.” Remember that Mr. Sanford?
And this kind of hypocrisy isn’t confined to the politicians. It permeates the electorate. While conservatives fight to “defend” marriage from gays, they can’t keep theirs together. According to the Census Bureau’s Statistical Abstract, states that went Republican in November accounted for eight of the 10 states with the highest divorce rates in 2006.
Conservatives touted abstinence-only education, which was a flop, when real sex education was needed, most desperately in red states. According to 2006 data from the Guttmacher Institute, those red states accounted for eight of the 10 states with the highest teenage birthrates.
And, a study titled “Red Light States: Who Buys Online Adult Entertainment?” that was conducted by Benjamin Edelman, an assistant professor of business at Harvard Business School and published earlier this year in the Journal of Economic Perspectives found that subscriptions to online pornography sites were “more prevalent in states where surveys indicate conservative positions on religion, gender roles, and sexuality” and in states where “more people agree that ‘I have old-fashioned values about family and marriage.’ ”
They could avoid this hypocrisy by focusing more on what happens in their own bedrooms and avoiding the trap of judging what goes on in everyone else’s.
He left the campaign trail to go to washington...
palin did not go anywhere. As you said, too late to pull ads. He did not put out any new ads. The talking heads were out there to answer questions put to them by the media. What else was he supposed to do? Have the media start saying he was hiding from the media? Realllyyyy.
I think it was yesterday they pulled Biden off the trail for a day...
or part of it anyway. At least that is what CNBC reported.

What paper?
?
Paper Money
Thanks for that. It's really simple when someone's not trying to pull the wool over your eyes.
And since it was all paper money, it enabled Wall Street money managers and banks to look good on their quarterly reports and collect obscene bonuses on worthless derivatives that were passed around from crook to crook, while they all knew the bubble would burst sooner or later.
WSJ is a conservative paper, NYT is liberal. nm

You only seem to understand numbers on paper,
live in the real world? Don't you see, hear and read about this and other issues every single day?
What would be the point in producing a numbers, especially to you? Numbers can be tweeked and skewed to produce whatever result you want them to. (Not unlike the words in the Bible, or the Quran, for that matter).
You know EXACTLY what I and others on this board are talking about when we present our views on the issues, and your constant response, 'Show me the numbers', has gotten a little too repetitive to have much in the way of value.
Booming on paper and speculation....
Robbing Hood and his merry pranksters raped our country - denial is deceptive.
Don't you read the paper or watch TV?
It is a fact. You need to remove the rose-colored glasses so that you can see clearly.
The Clinton prosperity was all on paper, hence the dot.com bust and

my paper said highest number in 14 years - who was in charge then?

Ah just that pesky little piece of paper called the Constitution. n/m
I do believe Savage in this case, cuz announcements in the paper are the same way in my local area..
Where did I say anything else, I was just commenting on the announcement in the paper. GEESH.
Maybe they should use corn cobs for toilet paper to meet your fiscal requirements, eh?
