I am a democrat and I hate you all.

I often wondered about that. How can Americans hate fellow Americans for supporting and voting for a political party, just as they are doing?

Mrs. Palin did speak the truth; she was vilified, insulted, and attacked, as were her children. There was a time when such behavior was considered horrid, but hatred allows one the ability to ignore such depravity (even justify it).

Hate is a powerful emotion that has its place and can fill an important need. In American politics however, perhaps such a base emotion should have no place and instead substitute logic and reason.

I live in a very blue district here in Ohio.

All these rhetorics about costs and federal budget will never ring a bell to us. BECAUSE REPUBLICANS ARE SINNERS TOO.

I believe your statement and agree that “Republicans are sinners too”.

I am curious though, if you would be so kind as to supply the rationalization, why would this preclude a person for supporting a politician (regardless of party) who is trying to solve such a problem? Conversely, why support a politician who is adding to the problem?

But when that so-called “idiot” and “immoral” Palin hit the HR3200 by the so-called “DEATH PANEL” almost half of my bluish neighbor have become agitated, including my family.

SHE HIT THE HOME ON THIS ONE. She has a point.

My family has experienced this death panel under MEDICARE. It was painful for us to see how we were forced to accept the Doctor’s advice viz. MEDICARE people’s urges.

We were forced to deal emotional pain because of costs at the very most painful moment of our lives … whether to end the life of our very precious beloved family member.

I am sorry for your loss.

In this respect, I salute Sarah Palin.

Welcome from the dark side

Even if Obamacare is passed, I think Sarah Palin has already gotten a new Democrat supporter (a Hillary fan) in me and in my family.

Credit is where the credit is due.

Health care is in need of reform; credit the President and the Congress for bringing this issue from the back-burner to the front-burner (this national discussion almost certainly would not have happened to this degree under Mr. McCain).

If we could elect politicians who are willing to work together without regard to hidden agendas (like single-payer system), use facts backed by undisputed evidence, draw logical conclusions based on those facts, and use quality management principles (like pilot programs FIRST before committing such a large portion of our wealth and future), then perhaps we could start reducing the problems and increasing care in terms of quality and quantity, in a practical and responsible manner (just my two-cents, but don’t tell the President, he might try to tax it).

I wish you well, Geneva.

I got the pic in an email from a friend. If anyone wants a copy, I’ll be happy to forward it on. Send requests to PCDWhoopass@yahoo.com

Oh, Patterico, DRJ, Karl and anyone else who moderates here. Don’t worry about this email address. It is the one I give out because the Democrats have already spamed it repeated times for over the 10 years I had it.

The President’s “death panels” denial is peculiar in light of his choice for Health Czar. Czar Emanuel not only endorses the idea, he has studied it and has prepared justifications for it.

Here is Czar Emanuel’s (and his two buddies’) article and here is a graph from that article.

Warning: there is some pretty sick stuff in his article (the philosophical reasoning is right out of the Third Reich and gave me a headache).

Oh, okay, now I feel better.

Unless he had his fingers crossed when he said that. Then we’re in big trouble again.
