“If she's qualified, this isn't a big deal.”

“Justice must be done AND justice must be seen to be done. The Senator is a high public official and low standards might be ok with you, TazoWolf, but not with me. I think we need to do better than this. Else how can we trust those to whom we extend our trust?”

“Disagree. It gives the appearance at least of nepotism. It's just not done. She did the right thing absolutely.”

“it is a big deal because she would have an inside track and undue influence to the U S Senate through Baucus....­.which if not illeagle, is certainly not ethical. I work for a major home improvement warehouse who maintains a strict policy of not allowing married couples to work at the same store. Is it fair?..Pro­bably, not but it is a rule set in place for a valid reason. Imagine a managers girlfriend working alongside everybody else in the place. Who do you think is going to get the best positions, perks and raises? Why should we have to abide by such a rule and a highly placed elected official be exempt?”

“Well the good senator knows how "qualified" she is.”

Ponderus replied on Dec 05, 2009 at 17:11:28

“Bull. Whether she's qualified or not, it's a conflict of interest and inherently unfair. By why burden yourself with ethics?”

lockebot replied on Dec 05, 2009 at 17:10:40

“Exactly. Highly qualified individuals will have lots of connections. Should that mean they can never hold government positions?”

“So, in absence of single payer, Public Option is the next best solution, as it would make health care available to more of the population, and create competition for the greedy insurance companies, cutting into their bottom line and pushing them to expand coverage and reduce costs.”

“Now why would he want medicare (which he has in addition to his private insurance) available to all Americans? (that was sarcasm against Lieberman)

Personally, I'd like to see a single payer system. It would solve a lot of problems. Trouble is, that has less support in the Senate than even the Public Option. The reason? Insurance lobbies. We have WAY too much corruption in our political system.”

“Exactly. The article yesterday about Aetna is a good example. They're going to dump 600K subscribers because their "profits aren't as high as they want." If there were a public option, those 600K would be protected, because they'd have an alternate choice that wouldn't deny them coverage the way the private sector would. Then, the profitable subscribers see what the private sector is doing and they LEAVE private insurance to take the public option, bringing their profits to the option, rather than private insurance. Private sector sees this and gets scared, reducing their fees and opening up their market.

It's called competition, ladies and gentlemen.”

“If she thinks past associations are fair game, I'd like to see her reaction to questioning about past associations with the Alaskan Independence Party... which calls for secession of Alaska. She says Obama is un-American, yet SHE is the one who wanted her state to secede from the USA!”

hershala replied on Dec 04, 2009 at 22:42:34

“So true. An advocate of secession calling anyone un-American is beyond cynical. The woman will say anything and her followers think she is soooo American. The walmart lines seem to be filled with the gullible or the wilfully stupid. I wonder how many people skimped on a family dinner so they could get a $30 picture taken with a woman who is on film advocating secession?”
