Peggy Noonan: Obama Media Tour "Boorish" (VIDEO)
Commented Sep 21, 2009 at 04:16:52 in Media
“You make some good points, but when it comes to Noonan, it takes one to know one. She's still mooning over her shrine of Ronald Reagan.”

“Good that Noonan can direct bleached comments about someone else. She should be glad Obama is boring. Makes her look alittle less.”

“Your comments are Moronic. Ah, but being a Jedi, I guess you're just on another planet.
Let's see how quickly you'd pop back if you were bankrupt by a health problem. Do you really expect our Country to pop back out of bankruptcy after 8 years of the free for all on Wall Street and letting jobs go offshore??
Then again, I guess there are no cures for some illnesses.”

Mad-As-Hell Doctors On Cross-Country Tour with a Mission
Commented Sep 16, 2009 at 07:35:55 in Denver
“I'm very proud of my fellow Oregonians for making this trip. Please support their efforts in supporting the American people by cutting out the middleman and in providing Healthcare for all Americans. If you don't believe in this effort, ask yourself this question. What do Insurance Companies have to do with Healthcare? They are who stands between you and your Dr., if you have a Dr. at all.
A Baucus bill will only insure that insurance companies will have a complete monopoly over us all. Insurance company employees have much to fall back on, house insurance, renters insurance, car insurance, boat insurance, motorcycle insurance and yes, they get you at the end with Life Insurance.
The number of jobs that would be created in healthcare and computer technology are enormous.
If you have a chance to welcome them to your town, take the time to listen. Then please, put on your thinking caps.”

“CNN should be blasted for more than that. We see the Republican crazies looped over and over and over again, then when descent citizens stand up to John McCain and others at their Town Hall lying/brainwashing sessions, it gets shown once, and you're lucky if you see it. How about showing healthcare as a human rights issue. How about being human beings that could make a positive difference. How about reminding the American People about the "C Streeters" in power and how they're spending those public dollars spreading their sick ideology throughout the world. These are the guys obstructing healthcare for all!”

“Single Pay NOW!! As long as private insurance and pharma companies are involved they will continue to run things. They need to be kept out of the mix. This needs to happen now. The amount of 19 to 30 year olds alone without health care is growing daily. A healthy people make a healthy Nation. Health Care for All!”

Bristol Palin Interview: Talks Motherhood, Mom, Shows Off Baby (VIDEO)
Commented Feb 17, 2009 at 12:41:40 in Politics
“Another missed opportunity by mainstream media. I'm an advocate of Planned Parenthood, and I say let's bring on Bristol Palin as our new poster child. Maybe only she can talk some sense into her Mother and her Mother's Congressional Party. Out of the mouths of babes comes truth. Abstinence Only indoctrination IS UNREAlISTIC! What a concept, no, how about what a contraceptive.
Very unfortunate that every female newscaster on CNN and MSNBC morning editions did not focus on this topic in a helpful way. Wayne Barret, the author of the new biography on Sarah Palin made the statement that She "advocated" birth control. Where was the follow-up question on this? The statement was allowed to hang in midair, indicating it was a fact. I beg to differ. Abstience only "education", another misnomer, is the policy her Mother ran on and that her constituents believe in. It doesn't work. Common females in the media, get on the bus, make your job mean something, do some good. Help open the eyes of Americans who rail against sex education, then gripe about welfare mothers. Join in with the rest of the Country who voted for Change and help things along.”

“I wouldn't count on the idea of a Bristol Palin being helpful to PP, the GOP has a very ugly and exploitive history of demonizing young women who choose to have babies, especially if they can capitalize on the double whammy of them being ethnic minorities. The media today is basically non-existent in the sense that it serves a dynamic public, rather it is a series of reflections produced for, by and of the 1%ers to push its agenda down the throats of the public. There is a complete reluctant by this same status quo to deal with the tough, gritty and difficult circumstance faced by some who are not the ideal citizens, and this cowardice has crept into many other segments of our public policy.
Today's news is what sells and does not 'turn off' the bulk of folks tuning in to get good feelings about their world, the issue of teen pregnancy is a serious subject and it demands attention, but in today's media set-up, they possess neither the will nor the on-air talent to confront the task of looking at this matter beyond the odd curiousity and celebrity aspect of who are the Palins.
They are much more comfortable dealing with gorilla stories and wild fires continents away in Australia.”

“While most media personalities use contraceptives in one form or another (you know, gotta further the good old career and unplanned pregnancies will just be a roadblock!!), Greta should have brought up the subject of contraceptives.
Oops! Perhaps Greta does not use contraceptives - perhaps she has no use for contraceptives! You know - just a thought!!”

“That's right folks, one more for the record. As Rainbow Phoenix wrote "right of conscience" rule makes this one just many tips of the iceburg. Dubya is obviously tring to see just how many steps backwards he can take our Country. Backwards for Women's Rights, Women's Health, Human Rights and on and on. Post your blogs, then take some action!!! Get on change.org and vote. Under Women's Issues vote up "stop Bush from passing right of conscience rule". This is not just a "Woman's" issue. It affects the right of all Americans and could involve many procedures, depending on who's conscience is being questioned. There are many other issues you can vote up along with this one. Realizing Obama will have much on his plate, but we can't let this one fall through the cracks. I was angry enough to get this on change.org, please take some action.”
