" the pulling the plug on granny, the references to like Hitler, the cries of "show me you birth cerificate" - this is the crap I'm talking about and to pretend it doesn'r exist just enforces my point." 1. Pulling the plug on Granny. If you don't think this is a part of rationing ask why they will not put in language that would prohibit this from occurring. Whey is Ezekial Emanuel one of the president's chief health care advisors? I have read the bill and it is true that it does not mandate anything regarding who gets health care and who doesn't; but that belies the fact that it clearly would permit such decisions to be made by the government, through regulation. 2. Like Hitler. All I can say here is that Bush was compared to Hitler far more often than Obama and many who were silent then, now complain when shoe is on the other foot. How is this any different than the left claiming that "socialist" is code for the n word. I don't know your politics but any objective person knows that name calling has become the norm in politics. And why not, Every two years they spend hundreds of millions of dollars in adds accusing their opponents of vile things and distorting each others postions, but when ordinary citizens do the same, it is somehow horrible and unjustified. As far as I am concerned they are getting what they deserve. I am just sorry that the Republicans are getting a free ride, while this goes on. 3. The birthers are just the right wing version of moveon.org. Do you think the vicious rumors and disparagement of Sara Palin is right? lj
