    Do you Beleive in God ?

    I read an article concerning the number of Muslims in the world and the polling company intends to continue the series by polling the religious beliefs of all other groups. I see a lot of different opinions on ET from traders expressing their religious opinion and it got me thinking about the...

    _Why do we even need the insurance companies?

    Great point. Also, why did we see so many senior citizens rasing hell in the town hall meetings this summer about 'takin' 'way my medicare'. i actually heard one idiot say; 'the government better not interfere with my medicare' !!! Of course they are happy; they get cheap AND great medical...

    _Why do we even need the insurance companies?

    Either you are the nitwit or you simply mis-understand what we are saying. We aren't saying that we expect the health insurance companies to operate without making a profit: WE ARE SAYING THERE WOULD BE NO HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIES. All of the monies currently going to the health insurance...

    I do l live in the south and have for most of my life so, yes, meeting liberals is a rare event. At this time I live in western TN where the local weekly paper resembles a Sunday School phamlet as much as a newspaper. And they take that stuff LITERALLY around here !! Yes, saying 'all'...

    Obama lovers, what were You thinking??

    LOL. No, I'm not sure. We are passing laws to prevent the sale of organs but laws never stop bad people from doing bad things. However, it goes on now and it may or may not get better with a nationalized system so it's a wash.

    Sorry, Lucrum, still not heard anything of substance. I listened to a couple of the videos and watched a blundering, populous-spouting Mike Church try to turn seriously deep issues into bumper sticker retorts. They weren't clever or insightful. Selecting sentences and even partial sentences...

    Obama lovers, what were You thinking??

    That is another good example of our team running away from an issue, the truth. How could any, and how many would complain about a directive that allows doctors and patients to discuss end of life issues !!! What THINKING person wouldn't discuss those things?!?!? That is how Obama and others...

    Vehen, I think he was trying to point out that Robert has alluded to 'death panals'. Of course, he did not use that term but the right has to use inflammatory words to account for a lack of ideas. One thing I will admit; Democrat leaders ARE being devious when they avoid talking about the...

    The only thing Republicans have got going for them is...

    This article explains some of the details that are often left out by the union/labor-hating crowd. Note at the bottom that labor costs are about 10% of the total cost of a car. http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/do_auto_workers_really_make_more_than.html I do agree that foreign labor...

    You are correct: i've never met a LIBERAL who didn't graduate from college. Talk to any union worker: they're as conservative as Archie Bunker (youngsters can google the name if necessary). Union workers vote Democrat because they know that is the party that best serves workers. Not because...

    I certainly wouldn't (couldn't) say that ALL consrvatives are stupid: George Will, Milton Friedman, Kristol, a few others. But I can say that ALL stupid people are conservative. I have NEVER met a LIBERAL (I'm not saying 'Democrat'), a LIBERAL who wasn't better educated and more...

    Obama lovers, what were You thinking??

    Don't mis-characterize what I wrote or what I want. Private health insurance companies are not "the healthcare industry". They do absolutely nothing to advance health care for anybody. Their main objective is profit and that is maximized by DENYING health care payments. Somebody tell Mr...

    I don't need a tissue: I can afford health insurance.

    Obama lovers, what were You thinking??

    This package is NOT what LIBERALS want: we want a Nationalized system that is paid for with tax increases. We are only pushing this package through as an interim step to getting to a nationalized system. When the effects of this package fail, 10 yrs. or so, we will lay the blame on the...

    Obama lovers, what were You thinking??

    That is completely untrue. Medicare administrative costs are less than 1/2 that of private insurance companies. Private insurance companies pay mega-million salaries to CEO's and VP's: these people would make 250K max as government employees and there would be far fewer of them. The major...

    Obama lovers, what were You thinking??

    Exactly; and, I might add, very forcefully say: "Who cares if health insurance companies are put out of business. The purpose of current health insurance companies is to make a profit; not provide health care". Once again, instead of doing the right 'thing' we (Democrats) have sold out for...

    Military coup could oust Obama

    Take your complaints to the Supreme Court: they're the ones that decide what is and what isn't 'Constitutional'.

    Military coup could oust Obama

    The addition of debt to the federal budget was done entirely within the Constitution. The House and Senate approved the spending. Maybe YOU don't want a Socialist state but, in fact, if the majority of Americans DO want one then it is entirely within the framework of the Constitution to...
