The Senate Finance Committee took it out, but as someone else pointed out to me yesterday, they can always put it back in later without announcing it.

I hate to bring the Nazis into the discussion, but that’s exactly what happened in Germany in the early ’30s under thier “public option”, except it was the “feeble minded” and not the elderly. And I think that was *before* Hitler assumed “emergency powers”.

The problem with the whole “death panel” argument is that, even if it ISNT in the bill today, how much of a certainty is it that it will become part of the program in, say, 5 or 10 years, when the program is threatening to bankrupt the country (even more than it is today)?

“individual responsibility” … “the court ruled”

No matter how you cut it, if the courts are ruling, then the government is involved.

There was a completely non governmental option, which was for Michael Schiavo to give Terri’s parents guardianship and allow them to assume responsibility for her care, like they requested.

Let’s not lose sight of who involved the government in the process. Since there was a specific individual asking permission to starve Terri Schiavo to death.

I’m seeing daily, more and more who are protesting are not R’s exclusively. Even the lefties are pissed at O’s deal with Big Pharma, given that Big Pharma is one of their most hated bugaboos. For the Dems to believe what Geraghty posits, they’d have to live in a soundproof room somewhere.

If we could add padded walls to that mythical room and keep them from ever coming out, well……..

I’ll be looking to change this system once once again to AM3 setup(keep the same amount of RAM) once Windows 7 is available.Having a little AMD 4850e is ok for the moment.

I will quit shopping at WalMart – screw them.

in a bit of a quandary wouldn’t it? All the grief they’ve given them about their lack of health care and other union “benefits” over the years and now they find they have to stand with Wal-Mart on something?

From this article:

Wal-Mart defends its stance as pro-business, calling the current system unsustainable.

“We also believe that a mandate must be accompanied by provisions that will reduce health costs and dramatically improve what we get for our health care dollar,” said Leslie Dach, executive vice president of corporate affairs and government relations.

Some see Wal-Mart’s move as self-serving, saddling smaller rivals with costs they cannot afford.

Wal-Mart’s endorsement letter sent to Obama in June was co-signed by the president of the Service Employees International Union and chief executive of the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank.

Joining forces with one of the biggest unions in the country seems an odd move for a company that long has opposed unionization and has been criticized for its low wages and benefits.

I was going to go to a Wal Mart Superstore tonight for my weekly food staples

Now I have to decide between Target and Kroger.

Simple PR

95% of blacks voted for Obama. I would suspect that blacks would still be largely supportive (not 95%, however) of ZeroCare™.

The country as a whole is turning against ZeroCare™ the more they learn.

Walmart is carefully selecting its audiences.
