Good morning, and thanks for the ping. If the discussion today will be all about health care, when will the Hillary meltdown be on the agenda?

From now on, it's no longer "death panels", it's "making Grandma Shovel Ready" - connects multiple spending programs together and ties it all together.

I laughed so hard reading this I think I pulled a muscle.

TD4 is heading my way. Should be Claudette by then. They hsve it making landfall around 11:00PM tonight and over us by dawn. At least it’s fast enough to not intensify too much.

You’re right on the guests. Can you believe FTN has Hagel on? WTF? He’s not even a sinator anymore, but they drag him out anyway, just to get the LEFTWING Republican talking points on...

Sarah’s tweet has earned her a fresh round of insults.

Backtracking because I missed this, but had to comment....

MSNBC is now spinning to save Obama via “if ANYTHING passes, just one tiny line passes, then it is a HUGE victory for Obama.”

That is so funny! These dorks are not only laughable, they're pathetic! Do they really think anyone is going to believe them, except, of course, for their 30 or so KOSKid viewers?

I agree but the sad thing is that he probably does not think he should have been. The socialist way of thinking is that the state and other institutions look after you not personal responsibility of looking after your family and friends hence why more right wing leaning people contribute more to charity both financially and physically.

I think regardless of final content, the American people, both through public display and polling, have clearly shown they desperately want nothing to do with such legislation.

WOW, the first few posts just seemed to vanish when I hit post.
When I returned to the thread, and refreshed nothing came through. each time.
Then all of them came through...

New moderator screening posts...? Strange.

Great catch Maica!

I have been watching some of the c-Spammers this morning with three radical libs one from the "Cook" report who has cooked everything to the left,another an NBC political hack just full of left wing GE/NBC chatting points and one an NPR wench from Alaska,feature that!

(Brian must have passed away and someone is taking his place without telling everyone he is gone)

They are all piling on Sarah's death panel remarks and spin everything to the Jokers advantage no matter how insignificant.

They just can't stand her and realize if they don't do everything in their power to try and destroy her she will be the next President.

I hope to heck she is! She remains our best and brightest hope of retaking the White house and the more they go after her the stronger she will get!

So have at it DBM twisted freaks! (Glen becks weekend show about his daughter was awesome anyone who missed it should look for it somewhere in cyber space it was truly a great show.)

She is Citizen Sarah, and the media can’t stop her!

They praised Howard Dean for utilizing new media - the internet then; but castigate Sarah for using new media now - Facebook or Twitter!

And they don’t even care that their double standards are becoming obvious to ever larger numbers of people, because they really have disdain and even contempt for most people.

Finally, I can reply! Some glitch in the server was telling me there wasn’t any such document!!

Bernard, I think to myself that these people don’t have real family relationships. They are just a collection of people who lived under the same roof.

gov_bean_counter, It is ALREADY illegal to pay for medical procedures Medicare won’t cover. When my dad was in the hospital 14 years ago they insited on dismissing him even though he was in bad shape. We offered to pay for extra days ourselves and the hospital couldn’t do it or they would have gotten in trouble with Medicare.

Morning rodguy,

Weather in CO this morning is really nice.  Not what a normal August has.  We'll write Al Gore later to let him know.

If hurricane Bill is like the infamous Bill, you're going to get screwed.

 Best picture from CA yesterday:

Good morning AB, thanks for the ping.

I have proposed a Federal Health Board that would be a foundation from which we could address all three problems. In many ways, the Federal Health Board would resemble our current Federal Reserve Board for the banking industry. Just as the Federal Reserve ensures certain standards, transparency and performance for our banking industry, the Fed Health would ensure harmonization across public programs of health-care protocols, benefits, and transparency. Ultimately, the Fed Health would offer a public framework within which a private health-care system could operate more effectively and efficiently.

This is Daschle's plan...wonder if he will defend it. It is the heart of the "death panel" charge.

Progressive solutions to Healthcare

Latest Health care polling. Mirrors what Gallup found in their poll released Thursday.

Time for the Democrats to follow their own advice, pull the plug on their attempt at a Heath Care take over. Rather then turning off people from our side, the protests have strengthen opposition to the bill.

I have had the same problem. Normally, when I click on the last post, the new ones come up. This morning, it took me back to the top, and no new posts would show. It would even go back to what the number had been previously.
