Tossing a new stinkbomb into the melee
Republicans - Doing as much as possible for seniors.
Democrats - Wanting to terminate as many seniors as possible.
So I guess the death panels are legit and the White House is grudgingly admitting it. They must be hating on Sarah big time right now.
Wow, could the reporter have been any more unbiased? /sarc
Incorrect assumption there, Linda.
If there is any justice, she will see her life over before she gets old, thus will not see how stupid her comments are. She seems to think that life has no value after youth...stupid, vapid girl! perfect shill for the obamanation
Who in the world wants to keep the elderly from making end of life decisions? They already have that option. The government wants to force their option on them, when it’s not their business to intrude on the private affairs of individuals. This topic is too personal for the government to get involved in. I want to die with my family, not Uncle Sam, who sure the heck isn’t related to me!
2. No one is preventing seniors from meeting with anyone.
3. Even if there is a government subsidized meeting between patient and doctor it had better not be the "Die! Die! Die! Why won't you die already?" type of meeting Obama advisor Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel seems to want seniors to have.
Yeah, it’s easy for HER to talk. Give the grey hairs a voice!
This is such crap, and demeaning to senors, who hardly need some government bureaucrat to teach them about their rights. Everyone who enters a hospital, regardless of age, is already asked about their end-of-life wishes. At least that is how it is in Ohio. Seniors already have the information they really need right now.
So why are seniors singled out for special end-of-life counseling?
I think if this passes there will be trained counselors skilled in guiding the elderly into “unselfish” choices.
Douglass you blithering idiot, no one is calling for the PREVENTION of seniors getting this advice, THEY ARE OBJECTING TO IT BEING MANDATORY. CHOICE, IT IS A CONCEPT YOU ON THE LEFT SHOULD UNDERSTAND.
“You’ve got to be cruel to be kind, in the right measure.
Cruel to be kind. It’s a very good sign.
Cruel to be kind means that I love you.
Baby, you’ve got to be cruel to be kind.” - Nick Lowe
“I must be cruel, only to be kind.” - Hamlet
Was it terminal? No. But at the time I would have signed any thing to get off that boat.
I can see some bureaucrat misleading an ill senior.
It is the last day of the month and the bureaucrat needs 2 more terminations to meet their goal for that month. Granny is a goner.
More BS from the White House.
Hey, granny, for your next birthday how about we all go down and let you pick out your iceburg.
Has Ted Kennedy received end-of-life counseling yet? It would be cruel if he hasn’t. Just sayin’......
Almost a full week now on the defensive over Sarah Palin’s “death panel”. How “dumb” is Palin again, Ms. Parker and Ms. Noonan? You don’t see Mitt Romney or Huckabee causing this much poltical impact from entire appearances, let alone a 90-character Tweet. Heck I saw Huckabee have on a geriatrician who defended ObamaCare and Mike didn’t score a single point!
No one is denying anyone from making end of life decisions today. They make them with their DOCTOR, FAMILY & FRIENDS, NO GOVENMENT 'HELP'. That's the way it should be. OBAMACARE would put GOVERNMENT IN CHARGE of that decision instead! BUTT OUT, you lying whore!
