I had an Obama voter do exactly that when I explained what was going on.
Gracious me! Of course they don’t have “death panels”. They just do a cost benefit analysis on your medical treatment (weighted for social justice I’m sure) and if you’re more expensive than they deem you worth they just benignly withhold treatment until you pass on (hopefully quickly because we won’t have euthanasia for another year or so except here in Oregon).
I like this one: “Scratch a liberal, find a fascist.”
Beckel is 95% of the reason why I never watch Fox at all anymore.
I keep watching because he looks like a regular guy: like any minute, the light will come on and he will realize what a tool he's been for the fairly recently communized democrat party and admit the error of his ways.
Now, Colmes (sp? who cares) is the one I can't watch. He doesn't even look human, and he happily, shamelessly parrots the progressive party line. He knows he's being dishonest, but he's sure he'll be among the 'elite' when all of us serfs are in our place come the socialist nirvana.
Screwy website. My scrollbar disappears in firefox on that page, but only on that page, so I can only see half the story.
Bend.... Ole “no neck” Beckel like his alter ego, Juaaan Williams are in denial.
One of these days they may realize that they are beatin’ a dead horse.
What is the definition of "those toward the end of their lives"? It is: those with incurable illnesses who will soon die. Note that people of any age - not just the elderly - can and do have fatal illnesses.
Thus, the president is, in effect, saying that "those who are so seriously ill that they will soon die account for potentially 80 percent of the total health care bill."
This is self-evident, as serious illness takes more money to treat. However - and this is truly insidious - the president is saying that we "have to have a very difficult conversation about" treating very seriously ill people.
One can envision "death panels" that remove treatment from very seriously ill people - of any age - once they pass a certain financial limit.
It's not just frail old grandma and grandpa in the nursing home: it can happen to any of us sooner than we can imagine.
- IF PRESIDENT BRAAAAAAAACK LIED AND STILL LIES
- YOU CAN IMPEACH PRESIDENT BRAAAAAAAACK
The better question would be, hasn’t Sarah Palin been beat up enough? Of course, its all about protecting the holy grail of liberalism - healthcare control. I heard Mark Levin last night say that it was harder and harder for him to be friends with people like Beckel This was in response to one of his callers. I’m also wondering if he and Sean are that close as friends.
Beckel knows that scaring people is powerful, it’s a Democratic institution. He has to panic over soomething liket his, right or wrong. The other side is getting on his turf. He knows how to fight reason.
Fighting fear is much more difficult and dangerous when your voters are low information types.
>> Beckel is an ill behaved oafish boor and the hardest of hard core leftists.
Beckel is an incredibly ignorant and stubborn Liberal that is foolishly supporting the Leftism that objects to his expressed Christian, anti-Jihadi beliefs.
Beckel is a paid antagonist that believes his own BS. But he’s not the malevolent Leftist he voted into power.
Juan, there is someone who is dumber than a box of nails and doesn’t have clue about it.
Very boring show. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Close ... but no cigar.
Larry Grathwohl, an undercover FBI informant on the Weather Underground, recalled his experience with the Weathermen in the 1982 documentary "No Place to Hide."

In a session with members of the Weathermen, Grathwohl said the discussion centered on a future in which the communist nations of Cuba, North Korea, China and the Soviet Union would occupy various parts of the U.S., with "re-education centers" established in the Southwest to prevent counterrevolution. "I asked, 'Well what is going to happen to those people we can't re-educate, that are diehard capitalists?' And the reply was that they'd (25 million) have to be eliminated (killed)."
Larry Grathwohl wrote of his experiences in Bringing Down America: An FBI Informer with the Weathermen, © 1976. He passed away this year. May he rest in peace.
Juan the moron, with his “deer in the headlights” look.
The patient and his insurance company pay the bills, not any *we* until, of course, the left made it mandatory for the government to be the payer of last resort.
Under our former system, there was no shortage of resources.
Providing medical resources was profitable business. Now, of course (since Clinton), we have shortages of medications, providers, equipment and soon, the hospitals themselves. A leftist CNN commentator excoriates Christians for not providing *enough* healthcare while the leftists pressure the charity hospitals until they have to close.
It is just a nightmare.
