As Rush has been saying, the driveby/state run media are going down with the sinking SS Obama on this issue. They simply can’t see themselves and their party as wrong and us as correct.
I say fine. Goodbye! Enjoy the swim!
But, it was truly revealing just how generic his site was.
It was totally devoid of any mention of whether Conrad was a dem or pubbie! Tell me these guys are not running scared and for the hills as well!!
Yeah, kind of like Pinocchiobama.
Hi Sleuthy I could hardly the list full of has beens and never was’s
Actually Medicare does pay for a skilled nursing facility, but only for the first 100 days, after that it is paid for either by family or Medicaid
Another great one, bray.
If folks aren’t plugged in to the internet and/or talk radio, they are missing most of the story on this health care issue.

This includes a lot of beltway pundits.
I really like that Bill Sammon is now the Washington managing editor of Fox News, as I think that he lives in the ‘real’ world.
We miss you, too. Don’t be a stranger!
no use bashing Medicare. People love it (I do) and it’s entrenched. That’s the problem with this new bill. It’s way to easy to get something like this entrenched and then you can’t get rid of it. It needs to be stopped.
Medicaid is a charity program that I don’t know too much about but probably should be looked at.

Very good commentator. Truly balanced, but not afraid to tell it like it is.
Also like how he finishes a thought. Many of todays anchors/commentators are only interested in getting out their script....
Sammon wants us to understand.
In zero’s case it’s his ears that grow.
The disk and memory capacity available to Totus has been exceeded. (That's why Totus was out of commission last week - they were doing an upgrade.) The only thing is - with more data to be processed, that will affect Joker response time. Expect many more "er's" and "uh's." (There are some laws that even Joker can't work his way around, like laws of physics for example.)
Will do I will swing by.
For sure,he may fly away....
Please pardon me if I haven’t said it before, but Sunday by Sunday you’ve been blessing this thread with your quality sermons, and I want to thank you for the exceptional skill you’ve put into them.
Shhh..... 0 is very sensitive about his ears. He does not want anyone to see them grow.....
(Kind of like Michelle’s hips.)
If you are under full retirement age for the entire year, we deduct $1 from your benefit payments for every $2 you earn above the annual limit.
For 2009, that limit is $14,160.
In the year you reach full retirement age, we deduct $1 in benefits for every $3 you earn above a different limit, but we only count earnings before the month you reach your full retirement age.
If you will reach full retirement age in 2009, the limit on your earnings for the months before full retirement age is $37,680.
(If you were born in 1943, your full retirement age is 66 years.)
Starting with the month you reach full retirement age, you can get your benefits with no limit on your earnings
