Fairweather

I asked you the question again in the health care thread just two days ago. And I've asked it regularly of you for the past few years. I believe you stated recently that you were "tired" and "didn't have the time or patience to answer..." or something along those lines. Frankly, you present some good arguments re trickle-down econ, but I'm not inclined to discuss because of your well-established intransigence.

As usual, you demand answers to your questions while refusing to respond in-kind. Once you answer the question I've been asking you for the past three years--how do you reconcile issues of privacy and liberty within a government-controlled health care system?--I will be happy to respond (again) to your challenge, but I won't fall victim to your usual tactic of parsing replies and attempting to control debate through continuous offense.

Imagine that.

"Best president Allende"? He was well on his way to being another Chavez...or Castro. Why would you consider that model 'best'?

Did Edwards cost Hillary the nomination? http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/08/11/clinton-adviser-blames-edwards-for-her-nomination-loss/

FWIW: Suggesting a book to someone usually implies that it has been read by the one making the recommendation unless stated otherwise. It's what I've always assumed, anyway. Maybe others see it differently.

You're like a cross between Rob and...Kevbone.

You have no fucking clue.

So, Fairweather - Why are FDR & Jimmy Carter in the Worst section?? What gives? FDR's attempt to stack the supreme court is unforgivable--probably the most blatant attempted power grab in US history. Jimmy Carter probably isn't worse than any number of others like Harding, Coolidge, Pierce, Filmore. Just a more modern incarnation of bumbling idiocy followed up post-office with an almost Wilson-esque arrogance.

Like this? I think you give yourself too much credit, but I'll bite anyway: If 40 million Americans are without health insurance at any given time, let's assume that like my daughter who recently graduated from college, half of them are in transition. That still leaves 20 million chronically uninsured out of a population of 300 million--or less than seven percent. I have never claimed our current system is good or equitable--clearly it's not. But until privacy and control issues are resolved I just don't see how someone like you is so willing to hand over your life. Please explain.

Here's a book for you: what's the matter with Kansas? Uh, yea, Matt, I heard the author of this book giving an interview on The Dave Ross Show on AM 710KIRO just this morning too. Aren't you the one always bashing "talk radio" ditto heads? --yet here you are, implying you've read a book that you clearly have not, and passing on KoolAid that you clearly like the taste of. You're a spoon fed Seattlite, for sure.

I call bullshit. You have statistics and a link? Bring the facts, jack. Liberals consider any type of corporate tax break a "subsidy".

Dude, I like climbed Mount Pete, like three times. Back-to-back...and unroped. And by three different routes!

This was entirely rhetorical--and you know it. Obama's suggestion was a simpleton's answer addressed to simpletons. Finding more oil to decrease dependence of foreign supply is a good idea. So is nuclear. That depends on the mechanism used. I haven't heard any specifs from Obama. Come to think of it, I haven't even heard generalizations! Really? Please share your informed sources. Economists other than Krugman will do just fine. I havent heard it. Are you sure you're not just attaching your own ideals to all his talk of "hope" and "change"?

This is a given: If Obama loses, Matt will be one hundred percent certain that the election was rigged. He is not able to comprehend, much less consider, the well reasoned opinions of others.

Democrats callously discarded their most qualified candidate early on: Bill Richardson.

We're being asked to choose one over the other in November. Any thread about one's "qualifications" must be about both. Again; what makes Obama more qualified than McCain?

And Obama accomplished exactly what during his time in congress?

Bill Clinton just saw this and has declared that he is running for president again!

I had a hamstring graft ACL replacement in 1999. Climbed in Alaska 6 months post-op and consider the repair stronger than the natural knee. I have no pain or indication whatsoever that there was ever a procedure done. I had a great surgeon who was doing about 5 or six of these per week. A real arrogant bastard...who knew his shit.

no- nothing but mouth is your mom. i said if you really believe and challenge me go fuck a pig if you lose. can't you fucking read boy? I read English. Not the shit you try to write. I suppose you picked up your language skills while you were 'studying' at Madame Qwan's School of transsexual Massage? I've heard you don't write Polish very well either. Maybe you're just plain slow.

he managed to run out of fuel once and crash one into a power line another time. i am sure his judgment is not an issue. Are you ready to take the Fairweather challenge? One year, no spray and no replacement avatars says that McCain wins in November. You go away for one year. If Obama wins, I go away--1 year; spray/pirate/sensitivio forums only. (You can still post all your trip reports ) I think I know America better than you do. What do you say? I've offered this deal to Prole and TTK too, but no takers. Must accept in open forum. No PM's. are you so sure? let's do a deal, if you lose- you'll have to fuck a pig- how about that? i'll tape that and post it on youtube. deal? That's what I thought. You're nothing but mouth. Does your family back home know that you are massaging other men for money?

Rasmussen has him 43 versus 42 McCain. Before his big world tour he was ahead double-digits. Every time Obama opens his condescending mouth he loses so-called swing voters.
