Considering they don't even know that Obama was born in the U.S. I'm also sure they don't even realize the reason they got more money in their last pay check was because they the President gave them a tax cut. Hmmm....I wonder how many of those people even have jobs and how many of them are on some sort of "socialist" welfare? I mean they are out their protesting in the middle of the work day.

fascinating to hear some folks using almost the same terminology and analogies they decry when used by "others" against "their" people............

yikes............

Although, I would also wonder how anyone could not notice the (12 dollars, or whatever it is, per paycheck), largess, doled from the government...........except maybe those same people you refer to above, in red.........


Jeeze, you'd think they'd be running up and down the street celebrating such a windfall.............

It is so interesting, watching both "parties" switch sides and arguments, but, still saying the same things............
Those in power defending, those out, attacking.
I think they use the same play book............

Just some random thoughts, from, a random thinker........

They wouldn't even have an income to protest about if it wasn't for that.

( that's the boat I am in right now, and I ain't bitching about it )
I'm sure that most of those people are either wealthy, trustafarians, lobbyists, churches and other fund raisers, and the majority republicans!

Uh, oh. Those right-wing extremists at the Associated Press are at it again!

Taxpayers to get rude surprise

Apparently the Obama "tax cut" is only a reduction of withholding, but not a reduction in the actual tax that will be due next April 15. So your refund will just get smaller.

Those republicans are at it again- bullshiting the American public. this time its Obama's health care program.

Ask anyone from a country that has nationalized health care and they will tell you.

Better then having none and better health care then America.

Call your congressman and make sure they supporting Obama's plan. America needs your help!

Well the Republican Tax lie is at it again this time its national health care they are attacking with lies.

All the advertisements you have seen spreading the lies have been paid for by the National Republican Committee. Why?

Not because a national health care is going to hurt everyone, because it is going to hurt the highest profiting industry in America.

Republicans are the highest recipients of Health Industry PAC contributions and since health care is important to everyone they believe their lies will have the most impact for them to win electorial seats in a year and half.

So far every lies that some on eplaya have written for them have been debunked.

Private Insurance has DOUBLED in the past 10 years. It will double again in the next 10 years.

The democrats will pass a health care bill and we need it to lower everyone insurance. It will lower the number of bankruptcies, keep people in their homes and from insurance and hospitals from passing the loss on to you. You can't be dropped for a preexisting condition. You can't be dropped for a clerical error or you missed a payment or even being late on your credit card payment. You can't be dropped and you can keep your present insurance and doctor if you wish to change insurance providers.

Remember, you are controlled my your fears!

Fear Not!

I can hardly wait to pass through that turnstyle into the land of milk and honey..........

all will be fixed, the government can take care of us much better than we can ourselves, and, always have our best interests at heart.......

it'll be great when gov. also provides our homes, cars, food.........

I hope "Soylent Green" comes in different flavors.......

I love the lie that the health care program is going to exterminate senior citizens. Those videos of republican house speakers are going to be good fodder for the next election.

yeah, I'd agree "exterminate" is a harsh, fear mongering term.....

I'd also, though, see how "managed" healthcare, under the government umbrella, could, at a point, deny services on a "return on investment" basis......

Not that that's even a bad thing, I can see how it would make sense, as a government, not to want to put out money on a person who will no longer be "productive".

But,
what I'd not like to see is the option of paying for it yourself taken off the table......
If a person wants to spend their "fortune" on preserving their own, or a loved ones, lives, it should be their option........

I'm just very cynical of anything the gov. does........and especially if they push the notion that it's "for our own good"..........
Somehow, I'd bet congress exempts itself from the plan...or, gets a better version.........

The option of keeping your present policy will still be there and even the most expensive cosmetic coverage.

Those that wish not to get End of Life coverage won't have to pay for it. End of Life procedures are the most expensive health care costs. It's were hospital and doctors make their most money for the least effective life prolonging procedures.

My mom doesn't want it, my sisters don't want and I don't want it! It usually means having a resperator tube stuck down your throat, not being able to communicate your last words in the most expensive room, the intensive care unit, for a few weeks at the most.

Is that dying with dignity?

But if you want it, you can pay for it!

There is going to be supplements private insurance just like with that Duck commercial- quack, quack!
