I have a terrific idea!! Steyn should send $100 (! ) to George and put Obama to shame. That would put Steyn's money where his mouth is and be a good example for us all.

No, no switcherooski here. Steyn's integrity isn't the one in question here, Obama's is. Is he taking care of his brother or not?
Hello again,
Wow. When things start to go south, they REALLY go south. Poor Republicans..
The recent overreach by the Komen foundation, while surely intended to QUIETLY strike another blow on the side of antiabortion activism, succeeded instead in waking a powerful constituency. The response it generated was UNIFIED and THUNDEROUS.
Recent attacks on collective bargaining by Republican governors have produced mass mobilization in those states, the likes of which we haven't seen in decades. Public service workers - cops, firefighters, nurses, teachers, paramedics, sanitation workers – once were the proud backbone of the middle class. Now they find themselves derided by the GOP as the new welfare queens who are taking more than their fair share.
The Trump endorsement was just icing on the cake. All I got to say is, the worm has turned... I'm looking at a landslide!

What a strange question, I live in a place where you never have to ask that question
WG there are already safetynet provisions for those who can't afford health care. That is just a canard to force the whole country into a universal government command and control system.
Ex the recall in Wisconsin will fail and fail badly . That's because Governor Walker's reforms have already saved the state. Last year's $3 billion deficit is now a $300 million surplus.It was accomplished without the new taxes that unions favored.Seems the only solution libs have is to tax tax tax .
Rank and file will eventually get around to asking why union bosses are wasting their hard earned money that they've handed over the union in the form of dues. The next recall will be ousting the union bosses.
What overreach? Komen took the initiative to follow their own rules, in response donations to both groups were up 100 percent... and then they caved. The fallout will be measured for some time. I can promise you a lot of people - regardless of political bent are going to drop support for Komen. I will never support PP and I'm far from alone.
Actually YOU changed the subject way back on post 21: https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/curren...ml#post3018255
Hypocrite.
Hello again, Steve:
It was in response to a right wing congressmen SAYING they used federal funds for abortion... PP SAID they didn't, and provided supporting documents... They've done this COUNTLESS times, because this ISN'T the first attack..
ANY dufus could see the partisan investigation for what it was... To STOP funding PP because of this PHONEY investigation looks to be political...
Besides, they just changed the rules in order TO exclude PP.
Plus, if you want to look at the backlash as just more liberal noise, you absolutely may.. But, the left is making itself FELT for the first time in a long time, and I'd be worried if I was a right winger.

The safety net Tom speaks of is the business practice of passing on costs to other tax payers, or raising the rates of insurance premiums, or billing the government (US) through grants for county hospitals that work with the poor or uninsured. What a con job the right pushes, as any mandate to have insurance ONLY will affect those 50 million that don't have it, nor wish to get it.
Of course you can put the heat on the prez, without lifting a finger or doing anything by which to be judged, or compared to. That's why we get all this rhetoric from the right about how bad everything else is because they have no solutions, just loyalty to a system that screws them too.
What safetynet ? Why programs like Medicaid for one. I understand it is not perfect ;but no system designed by humans is .
I would add that if we stopped trying to expand the safety net for those who can provide for themselves then it would be easier to strengthen the net for those that really need it.
Who is going to (and how are we going to) determine who those people are and then sort out the rest of them as to who needs job counseling or mental health counseling or family counseling or marital counseling in order to have a better chance at life? Who will offer the counseling? Who will pay for it? Who will ascertain the success or failure of the counseling? Who will provide remedial help after assessing that it's needed?
Who will pay for all of that?
Its usually the governor and state legislature that is responsible for allocation of federal funds for medicaid.
Be afraid, be very afraid of republican govenors, and legislatures. Look it up for yourself.
Don't bog us down in details . The determination is wealth obviously . Eligibility is economically based .
