“This must be Halliburton's Don't Ask-Don't Tell policy.”

crazydat replied on Oct 15, 2009 at 14:20:50

“Gee...why is this NOT surprising? Because Haliburton is the company whose CEO was good ol' boy Dick Cheney. Must be some of his policy making. That being said, it is absolutely unimaginable that ANY ONE of those Republicans would vote the way that they did. Their fathers and mothers must be so proud of them. I wonder how THEY would feel if the victim had been THEIR DAUGHTER? Haliburton is a prime example of what is truly horribly wrong with the United States at this point....a­nd it is quite frightening to think about.”

“I just love how you Neocons only know how to name call because you have no real understanding of the issues. This is not about healthcare or socialism. It is about you having to wake up every morning with a black President. Get over it. The world is going on without you.”

“Except a list of ideas on health care reform that would actually save a lot of money. Of course the Democrats health care reform isn't realy about cutting costs as they say, but about socialism,”

“This is ridiculous. There are no-fly zones and there should be no-weapons zones around the President.”

“To paraphrase the great Robin Williams. In Britain, the Bobbies are prone to say to nuts like these..."S­top... before I say stop again.!"

What scares me is each one of these nuts is just waiting to become a martyr for their cause...We have a "No fly zone" above the President.­.. let's have a "No Gun Zone" on the ground covering the same square mileage. Make it a federal law and it will supercede any local law. Period.”

“I agree, but you might need someon alittle less smart to do the moderating. Gregory is milquetoas­t...and not intellectual, but he isn't going to be one sided either. (probably good on a talking head show). I think Rachel's talents would be lost hosting that program.”

“Most countries are guily of trying to suppress citizens right to protest.


At the university I attended, there was a large peaceful demonstration protesting the Viet Nam war. The National Guard was called in and actually pointed guns at us. I wasn't afraid because I couldn't envision them actually shooting into the crowd.

A couple of weeks later, four students were killed at Kent State.”

“There are rifles buried in the countryside by the rising of the moon
May they lie there long forgotten till they rust away into the ground
Who will bend this ancient hatred, will the killing to an end
Who will swallow long injustice, take the devil for a country man
Who will say "this far no further, oh lord, if I die today"

Send no weapons no more money. Send no vengeance across the seas
Just the blessing of forgiveness for my new countryman and me

Missing brothers, martyred fellows, silent children in the ground
Could we but hear them could they not tell us
"Time to lay God's rifle down"

James Taylor”

“I was just diagnosed with cancer. My first thought was "How much is this going to cost me?" And I have health insurance. This shouldn't even be a worry when you are facing a serious disease.

National healthcare NOW..”

“why shouldnt you have to ask the question?
You want it to be me who is asking the question how much is your cancer costing me?
Already 50% of the population does not pay taxes and you want more?
How much and do I pay for every treatment to extend your life six months? Will you pay my way, will you pay for the child who drowns to have their stomach banded so they can live life as a vegetable and then pay for their care for the next twenty years? Will you pay for the advanced Alzheimer's patient to have a hip replacement?

Who will you pay for? What is the cost? What will you pay for?

We will face difficult choices with the majority of our health care dollar s now spent on Chronic diseases like diabetes and the biggest spent on old folks in their last two years of life.

How much do you wnat to pay and for what? Health care will never be free.
