this A$$clown should wander 5-10 miles south of downtown KC to the Bannister complex (www.kcp.com) where I used to work.  If he wants to see why people are against health care, it's called gov't waste and inefficiency.  I've seen a perfectly good parking lot torn up only because the facility budget was underspent heading into the 9/30 end of the FY; the most surefire capital project to ensure the necessary expenditures would occur before the end of the FY was replacement of said parking lot.  That's my money.  That's your money.  The reason big gov't doesn't work is because the ultimate performance metric is the re-election of the leaders/politicians and not the preservation of capital and/or the maximization of profit. 

End of story.

What are a bunch of dummies like us going to do with our lives now?  Join the Government?  Run for office?  We're sure qualified if we be 'Democrat' dumb.

...from the town that has lost population, sky-rocketing homicide rates, and bad city government. Must be a liberal town. They have a bad newspaper to boot. Kansas City, MO is a sewer.

2010: A GOP Hill

Ass'right, Clem -- I opposes dis heah healthscare bill.  Peoples should take keer o' dere own healths care.  But who dey be callin' "iggarnant"?  I knows ware pappy keeps his shotgun, and Yale don't even knows how to speel his own name. ('Yael' -- sheesh.)

With sincere apologies to folks who struggle with illiteracy, I'd relish the chance to meet the smug Abouhalkah for a brief conversation about what ignorance and useful idiocy have in common, and how he and his blog figure into that topic...

Have been calling people stuid to get them to submit for a hundred years.

Everyone knows that government doesn't work, Social Security is broke, medicare is broke, madicade is broke, and cash for clunkers just takes the cake illustrating the government can't even administer a car buyback at a fixed price.

Why would anyone let Obama, Reid, and Pelosi determine whether they live or die?

The estimated number of Illegal immigrants (12 million) is imbedded in the number of "Americans without health insurance". It's part of the argument for why we are even considering this nonsense. Therefore the assumption is that they indeed will be part of the newly insured that the Obama plan covers.

The issue of abortion is absent from the House bill (HR 3200). Therefore it is treated as simply another medical proceedure. Since the government option would be funded thhrough tax dollars and would pay for all proceedures under the plan, by definition tax dollars will indeed be used to pay for abortions. It's simple logic.

If the government plan is "free", in that there is no premium to be paid by the subscriber other than the extra taxes taken out of everyone's paycheck, then what incentive is there for the vast majority of the people to pay extra money for a seperate health insurance policy? The answer is none at all and as a result the government plan would swell very quickly and the private insurance companies would all go out of business.

But then again none of this has anything to do with a "reporter" or so-called "journalist" actually giving his readers the facts and doing some simple analysis. This has everything to do with working as an advocate for a particular issue and trying to sway the public opinion of said so-called "journalist's" readers.

Throw 'da bums out!

no incumbent re-elected, with very few exceptions!

Sounds like one o' them perfessional wrastlers to me.

Yeah, I'm ignorant because I oppose a hideous bill that will essentially mean the utter Nazification of my country, with the federal government sticking its nose into every facet of my life, and that will ultimately mean the end of the America I grew up in.

Screw Yael T. Abouhalkah, the horse he rode in on, and the two people who brought this goober cheese into this world.

Once again, liberals blame everyone but themselves.  Whose responsibility is it to "educate" Americans on their plan?  How shall they learn if they are not taught?  If Obama, the Dems in general and the MSM can't educate the American people then it is they who are INCOMPETENT teachers.  Hmmm, kind of like the NEA blaming failing schools on kids and a lack of money...

The dishonesty of the so called debate, is that liberals never intended to have an exchange of ideas, it was their way or the highway and it's been that way for 40 years regarding Health Care. The only reason why they have been resisting Health Care Reform all this time is they wanted a single provider system as the core of the change.  They rightly reasoned that any other changes to make the Health Care system better would deminish the appeal of their cherished single payer system.   So once again, when liberals hurl the accusation that we have been debating this for 40 years and now it's time to do something, and that something is THEIR WAY, it is purely PROJECTION on their part.  They have been the obstructionists for decades.  Medicare could have been reformed years ago saving billions of dollars a year but Dems blocked every attempt, just look at the insanity they engaged in when they resisted the Medicare reforms of Part D (Rx) and Medicare Advantage brought about only because of a GOP majority and a GOP president.

While talking about Medicare I would like to point out Obama's incompetence on wanting to abolish Medicare Advantage (private insurance option).   Obama talks big on prevention as the means to save money in the long run, but then he opposes Medicare Advantage whose function is...wait for it, wait for it ... to provide more medical services that are preventative in nature!  Only an incompetent boob advocates for the same thing he wishes to abolish.  

Obama claims there are billions in wasted dollars in Medicare that could partially fund the premiums of the insured.  Really?  So why doesn't he eliminate the waste he admits done by a government program to save it from insolvency?  Because the waste in his mind is Medicare Advantage to the tune of $177 billion a year!

Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, starving the poor one gallon of ethanol at a time. Fill your tank with E85 and cull a village.

we may be ignorant-but also very dangerous. we will not be forced to drink the kool aid. now that we are pushing back you libs do not like it.

Great for us.

BHO-  THE PROGRESSIVE PIRATE

The plan has specific wording saying all these details WILL BE WORKED OUT AFTER the 1,000 page mumbo-jumbo bill is passed. Don't you just LOVE politicians. They're telling the truth, knowing full well they'll add all that AFTER its passed so they can 1) say they did not lie because it was not in the original bill and 2) they can have plausible deniability.

 Anything they pass should be in FINAL form so we can judge them by their votes on what truly was enacted. No more of this sleight-of-hand cr$ppola.

I wonder if Abouhalkah felt that way last November...

"Cuz they're ignorant." - Michael Jackson

Good grief. It's amazing to me to see the msm continue to stoop to such low name calling tactics. It's like they are attempting to bully people through name calling.

The thing is they are just going to make people more indignant.

I'm starting to see evidence of people distrust in the US gov in other ways in the financial areas too. More and more investors are trying to get out the dollar.

I was really surprised this morn while tracking gold with my desktop widget, <a href="http://www.learcapital.com/exactprice">ExactPrice</a>, that it seriously spiked up and continues to climb. Treasuries popped too. Looks like people are trying to find security.

I'm damn close to being retarted.  Please can someone in their lofty wisdom from on high come and save my poor ignorant ass from not wanting my children to pay off the debt this Government has and will heap upon us!!!!!

Liberalism: The huanting feeling that someone, somewhere, can help themselves.

A couple more reasons why us ignoramuses are against Obamacare:

Health Care Tax Insanity; IRS to Decide Amount of Taxation: http://legalinsurrection.blogspot.com

...because after all, who doesn't want the IRS to have more power and staff?

No Right of Appeal in Obamacare: http://www.americanthinker.com

Of course, no one questions the government. They know what's best for us.
