  1. townhouselady,

    according to the analysis of the census numbers, approximately 90-92% of Americans have healthcare.
    you make it sound like only 9 percent have healthcare.
    again, talk to the facts not to the emotion.

    why do you think Obama is on the ropes with this healthcare issue? he hasn’t the support of the “poor” on this who already have insurance, the middle class, by a large majority have healthcare, and of course the wealthy are wealthy.

    Where’s his support except from the most diehard anti-capitalists.
    sure the system has to be fixed to include those that don’t have it, but not at the expense of our entire healthcare system which has taken two centuries to build.

  2. What is it with actors who think they can sing and vice versa? Well, except for Patrick Swayze….who *didn’t* love ‘She’s Like the Wind’???? ADORE THAT SONG!!!

  3. CG ups- I see extremists on both sides doing it. But lately I’m seeing even so-called moderates doing it. And mostly on the right.

    BTW- LOVE YOU, THL!!!! (on the sisters thread).

  4. bxgrl,
    you paint an unfair picture of our nation to this point.
    we are not all greedy and cutthroat.
    In fact, as a nation we give more than all other nations combined to charity.
    we single handedly, support 1/3 of the UN budget.
    Bush gave more to Africa for AIDS relief than anyone in history.
    we have a proud and long tradition of charitable giving, philanthropy and a healthy social net established over the past hundred years.

    sure we need to tweek the system, just don’t tear it all down in one fell swoop.

    I just don’t understand why folks get so upset because a parent decides they want to give something, albeit a home, to their children.

    because they effectively have the biggest cost of living expensive wiped out for them! so they then can live large on their measley “creative professional” careers, buying the nicest clothes, always going out, and basically living a very fake life. grrr call it jealousy or envy, i dont care. i think those people suck eggs. those two “sisters” deserve a flaming bag of doodoo on their doorstep. uh not that i would ever do such a thing

    *rob*
