What a pathetic bunch the Ds are. Gotta love when one party bashes the other, yet they have such a narrow and myopic view that they are not willing to look at how f'd up there "own" party is. The R's have really alienated all but the stupidestestesstes and/or stubornestestes of the voting populations. Not that I'm a big fan of the D's either but the party of no, hate and vitriol are pretty much a laughing stock to "most" of us here in reality. Trying to hang on to what whitey has left as it slips through there greedy, power hungry fingers... Quote

I think you missed a few of the caricatures that you were taught, but you did include the requisite "not that I'm a big fan of those Democrats, but..." Still, it's pretty clear you're among the young, entitled, and willing dupes that the Democrat party absolutely craves. Â BTW: it's spelled t-h-e-i-r.

Prolly am one of the stupendestestes of the stupidesteses, but at least I'm honest and willing to admit when I'm wrong, stupid, selfish and arrogant. Usually all at the same time. Why can't all you die hard, aka, extremists on both sides call a spade a spade when you see it in your "own" party? Why can't all you folks just lighten up a bit or at least admit your party does the same as the "other" party? Do you really believe all the crap the R's try to shove down our throats? Quote

ivan Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 do you have to be fresh out the hizzy to note the irony of a conservative appealing to the libturd masses to Respect Da Wisdom of billy clinton? Â ironic too i suppose that obama internalized the lessons of clinton's debacle at creating universal healthcare and thus gave the conservatives damn near everything they wanted in a "reformed" healthcare system that they then turned around and spurned...

Fairweather Posted November 13, 2013 Author Posted November 13, 2013 I guess you can come out of the closet now, eh? Â On one hand, I think it's pretty sad that Seattlites are willing to grab their ankles for government like this. On the other hand, I think it's refreshing that a lefty actually had the courage to run on a platform she believes in. (As opposed to a lot of socialist "Democrats" who say one thing to get elected and then something else once they're in office.) Quote

ivan Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 I'm still waiting for you to reveal the details of your earlier claim that Republicans told Southerners they could keep their slaves. seems remarkable a man w/ a taste for history would need the details, but okay  from part of wikipedia's page on lincoln's first inaugural address:  Lincoln opened his speech by first indicating that he would not touch on "those matters of administration about which there is no special anxiety or excitement." The remainder of the speech would address the concerns of Southerners, who were apprehensive that "by the accession of a Republican Administration their property and their peace and personal security are to be endangered." Lincoln emphatically denied this assertion, and invited his listeners to consider his past speeches on the subject of slavery, together with the platform adopted by the Republican Party, which explicitly guaranteed the right of each individual state to decide for itself on the subject of slavery, together with the right of each state to be free from coercion of any kind from other states, or the Federal government. He went on to address several other points of particular interest at the time:  1.Slavery: Lincoln stated emphatically that he had "...no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so."  5.Protection of slavery: Lincoln explicitly stated that he had no objection to the proposed Corwin Amendment to the Constitution, which had already been approved by both houses of the United States Congress. This amendment would have formally protected slavery in those states in which it already existed, and assured to each state the right to establish or repudiate it. Lincoln indicated that he thought that this right was already protected in the original Constitution, and thus that the Corwin Amendment merely reiterated what it already contained.  6.Slavery in the Territories: Lincoln asserted that nothing in the Constitution expressly said what either could or could not be done regarding slavery in the territories. He indicated his willingness to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act, so long as free blacks could be protected from being kidnapped and illegally sold into slavery through its misuse.   Quote

glassgowkiss Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 A lot of insurances being cancelled on people are completely pointless, as they do not cover things like medications, plus a lot of them still don't have out of pocket limits. I a lot of cases people would be better off without any insurance. Imagine a patient is diagnosed with cancer. A simple weekly infusion will run you 3-5K, and if your plan doesn't cover medications, who can afford 20K running tab? Quote
