I am sorry about your wife. But, would you rob a bank to help her? If so, then do that and live with the consequences of your actions. But don't use the government to rob from me-- that is even worse, as you hide the truth from yourself about what you are really doing.

By the way, medical costs are as high as they are for 3 reasons: government, government, and government.

Do you really want them stepping it to "fix" it?

best way to stop this may be a recall petition. state by state / district by district. let them know what registered voters think

That's just it... in the US she is done. No insurance. We'd have to leave because she would be left to die. I don't blame insurance for not covering her, however no one else will help unless you become a lab rat. You get cancer in this country you are done, they will treat you, but you file bankruptcy repeatedly and then it's back on the taxpayers. So how is this right.... No one can afford 200k in medical bills a year.

re-Joyce
are you suddenly a democrat? because they are the ones how promote "fairness". their health care reform is "fair". why don't you go for that "fairness"?

i thought libertarians wanted less of government. this would be are whole new field for government employees

i don't think only rich white folks can pass a test, but i don't want government to decide that.
By tshirt-doctor.com

You think it's fair? NOT. I was making fun of all the "fair" talk coming from the left that really equates from each according to their means, to each according to their needs.

And the test wouldn't have to be all that hard to score so the government wouldn't be able to cheat. But people who only take should not be able to vote and decide how much to take.

net neutrality bill coming

morons

"Conservatives are certainly welcome in the Repub or Libertarian party. Romney/Clinton? That's an interesting concept. Used to be that way originally, top vote was Prez, 2nd was VP. I'd go for that."

You are right about the Libertarians, they are welcoming of conservatives, these days perhaps more than republicans.

You have my idea right. I think it would make for better administrations and it is the way the founding fathers intended.

Now some are going to complain that this would throw most elections to the House to decide instead of the people. But over the last 30 years or so the people left to themselves have not always seemed to make the best choice (need we remember Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama, George W Bush). And the House would also be representative of the 5-6 paries so instead of this 2 party blockcade which cannot get anything done it woukld make it more imperitive for different parties to get together and work things out including settling any election thrown to it.

why don't you say what you mean? only rich, white folks deserve to vote
By tshirt-doctor.com

I'd say having the amount of votes equivalent to the amount of taxes/support you are providing to those making less is only "fair"!!!

Are you saying only rich white folks can pass a test?

If it sounds like Fox News and Talk Radio it is because they are stealing material from Jones which they are in alot of cases. Hannity and Beck steal alot of Jones' material and then peddle it as their own as if Fox News somehow scooped Alex. BTW I know for a fact you didn't watch it all the way through because parts 8-14 are topics that the MSM would NEVER touch.

i like all these conservatives and libertarians who want people to take a test before they're allowed to vote. or, better than that, you have to make a certain amount of money to vote.

and you say you're for freedom, huh? it don't look that way to me.

why don't you say what you mean? only rich, white folks deserve to vote

you are such an effing idiot...who the hell gets a job in a desk? go back to packing fudge.

Voting along with incoem taxes
"I'd like to see a system in place where a person gets one vote for every $1000 paid in income taxes (as reported on his/her personal income tax forms)."

I kind of like this idea, after all if you were in a club they're not going to let you vote if you haven't paid your dues.

Of course this will never pass and would be a monstrosity to impliment and enforce. Perhaps a compromise could be to give everyone one vote, then an additional vote for each one thousand dollars in taxes you pay. It's does the same as Jack's idea, but none can claim they're left out.

I do beleive at least a citizen should be required to pass a test that shows they have a knowledge of the government and how it works before being allowed to vote.
By East Coast Conservative

Both the one + vote and the testing. At least make it part of graduation from High School or part of DMV to get your license. They always ask "Do you want to register to vote? Take this test and bring it back."

Please Please do not take Fantana's jackass statements personally. That creature is mud; subhuman even. He spouts nothing but nonsensicle slop and should be ignored like the pond scum he is.

I salute you for your military service, and for your work ethic and willingness to keep learning.

If we compared you to John Kerry, you would be the giant, and he would be the blowfly on a piece of dog squeeze that you almost stepped in.

"In all seriousness, its likely the same drivel"

"LIKELY". So in other words you haven't watch any of them and are making ASSumptions.

You can't make judgement or state even opinions without looking at the data!!! SHUTUP

You rarely saw fraud in the healthcare industry prior to Medicare. I was an administrative intern when Medicare came out and Medicare changed everything. It was government with a huge checkbook giving out money like a drunken sailor. Everywhere you looked, aluminum siding and used car salesman were quitting their jobs and getting into the healthcare field as medical equipment and supply vendors, billing experts, independent lab & imaging owners, etc.. In other words, fraud was rife in healthcare.
The problem with the government writing the check and private industry cashing it is there is no check on the low lifes out there that will do anything to get a illegal share of the money.
I know that experts say that fraud only represents less than 5% of medicare outlays. But what the experts don't know are all of the less than prosecutable ways that Medicare can be ripped off. Its very subtle. Like a physician ordering mobile ultrasound procedures on every other patient he sees in trade for the mobile ultrasound company coming to his office on a minutes notice to scan a patient that really needs it. Of course, the doctor always has the option to send his patient to the hospital, but that's a hassle for the patient and the doctor doesn't get the medicare reading fee for the scan that's actually read by the tech.
It's got be be one way or the other in healthcare. Either the government needs to get out of the healthcare business entirely, or it needs to take over it entirely. No in-between.
And I mean the government owning the hospitals, clinics, labs, imaging companies, etc.,employing the doctors, nurses, and techs for the time they work, not the procedures they perform.
Then watch the increase in applicants to the used car and vinyl siding businesses.

I am against stupid people voting, whether male or female! I think people should have to pass the test that naturalized citizens have to pass before they can vote. However, given the choices we sometimes have, maybe voting is overrated. But the real solution is to convert more women to libertarianism and away from nannystatism, and more men, too by the way, there are plenty of moronic men voters who want the gummit to take care of everything!

3MUSTBEWRONG.....baaa baaaaaa baaa baaah baaaah baa baaaaah.......

i haven't wanted to be like your detractors on this board, BUT....

alex jones was a bipartisan in his hatred for the NWO. it didn't disappear during the Cheney/Bush years.

Sorry Brian: I hate to disappoint you about being an idiot. I speak six languages, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Greek. I have two undergraduate degrees and an MBA in International Business. I can not serve anymore as I did not want to put my family through the sacrifice.

As for the internet, one of my jobs was to IT design and protection for the military. (Sorry no further details can be discussed on that.)

Now I am in the civilian sector.

The problems with leftists is that they make assumptions without doing their research first neither do they think through the consequences.

Maybe you should enlist for a hitch or two in the military if you can pass the physical... It would open up your eyes. Better yet, maybe Charles Rangel can get his Military draft legislation to pass and you can get drafted...

wimmin git to vote?????????? when the hell did that happen??????? crap there goes the neighborhood......

wimmin votin'......next they're gonna start drivin'......

Your diatribe directed at Libertarian Voter makes me regret that some of my friends had to die just to preserve your freedom of speech.

When I was young, the initials of your moniker (B.F.) represented the worst insult. Calling someone a B.F. was calling them a "Buddy Fokker" - there's no lower life form. You certainly earned it today!

Will definitely watch those!

I like the idea, issue him a rifle, a Second Lieutenant's bars and send him out into the field.

Figure he won't last 6 months, if Al Quaeda doesn't get him "Friendly Fire" will.

I'd like to see a system in place where a person gets one vote for every $1000 paid in income taxes (as reported on his/her personal income tax forms).

If a person doesn't earn enough to pay taxes, he/she gets no votes. If a person is so rich that he/she can use loopholes to avoid paying taxes, then no votes in Federal elections. If a person paid a lot in income taxes, he/she casts a lot of votes.

This would be the fairest voting system. The people that pay the most have the loudest voices.

And the same thing should be done at the state level.

The whole doc fix thing was a plan to not cut or freeze medicare reimbursement for doctors that had been scheduled by the Federal Medicare Reform Act of 1997 in return for their support for healthcare reform. In effect, it was a bribe. It didn't work and Reid is mad.

Body Double Time! John Kerry's head, and any statue on Easter Island...see the resemblance?

John Kerry is an insult to US Military. He should fit right in with this administration.

Odd, didn't see Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac on the list, are they not also "wards of the state"?

You guys singing the praises of John Kerry are maroons. A true supporter would never behave the way he has. Lying about the military being like "Ghingus Khan" and more recently slamming our troops in Iraq... All for his own political gain. Kerry is but another of the socialists in DC. Soldiers have sacrificed their lives fighting against socialism. Get him out. Here's a great ROCK (not country) tribute to our Military heroes called SOLDIER---which brings the point home. And its excellent. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4c8RupRuQs

If you don't use some psych when you are convincing others your method is great, especially when you have some motive besides just helping someone, you will not sell it.

I even use psychology on my dog to get him to do what I want - within his limited reasoning.

The more limited the brain, the easier the job is.

Adjust your methods to get the desired successful results the majority of the time and you will be fine.

The Presidency of Barack H Obama

This is possibly the most important documentary you will ever witness. It is in a 14 part series on Youtube. This is the truth you will not get from the mainstream media or from right wing talk radio.

This documentary spits in the face of Michael Moore while it lays out the truth behind this economic disaster. Join me and the millions of other Americans who have decided to stand up to the globalist elites as they attempt to destroy America from the inside. Show this video to everyone you know. We must expose what these people have been doing! Be on the right side of history. God Bless AMERICA!

The one thing I keep hearing is the free market is better for insurance. What about the people that are raped as in the article that can't get insurance. Or my wife, if it wasn't for our jobs we couldn't afford her health insurance due to her being Type 1 diabetic. Not the type II, but type I insulin dependent since she was 13. I researched it and no one would cover any of her medications and we were looking at 1400 a month plus a 10k dollar deductible. She ends up in the hospital about once a year. This would bankrupt us. That doesn't include what it would cost in order for my daughter and myself to get insurance as well. Thirty thousand in deductibles you might as well not have insurance. I can't afford 40k a year if something happened. Might as well tell the doctor... Come and take my house, car and everything I own...

The spokeswoman says O is focused on issues (paraphrase). 10 months in and WHAT HAS HE DONE? Oh yeah, Nobrain Peace Prize.
mmm....mmmm...mmmm...Barack Inane Obama.

liberal = hypocrite

I would prefer that the provider class get to vote and the receiver class could not. That would give an incentive for them to become a provider

It is disgusting that over a trillion dollars of our hard-earned taxpayer money was taken from us by force, and given to badly run private banks and insurance companires as TARP money. It is equally disgusting that we saw our stock and mutual fund prices plummet to the ground (along with our 401K) as a result of the risky behaviour of these excessively compensated executives. And it is also terrible that we saw 150 billion dollars of our TARP money going towards bonuses for the employees of these bailed out companies. Meanwhile all that the customers of these banks get is ever-rising bank fees, closing HELOC accounts, and deceptive loans and credit cards. And what is the most disgusting is that you refer to these CEOs as "talent".

I want my TARP money returned to me, before we talk about compensation, to already grossly over-compensated executives that did nothing except drive their "capitalist" private companies into the ground that we, in turn bailed-out in a very socialist-fashion.

We should have let these corporations croak.

From yesterday something that TOTALLY ticked me off, does it you?

3 you're an idiot
I hope webwench gets this posted tomorrow, cause it's late when I found this crap.

How dare they
"It didn't work out well for the people who died in the late 1700's. But they wouldn't have done it any differently. Do we have that same strength? I wonder"

How dare Joyce compare today's conservatives to the patriots of the American Revolution? Those men in the late 1700's were fighting for freedom against a oppresive British King.

Conservatives today are just sore losers imagining that anything other than their regime somehow is a threat to our freedom. when in fact their people (Cheney/Bush) brough us dangerously close to a dicatorship.

How did VOR and Jon Stewart put it? They are confusinbg losing with tyranny.
By 3mbw

You obviously did NOT read my post. Do you see where I asked if we had the same strength? And then I said "I wonder"???? Dont be such a Moron.

And yes, they were fighting against an oppressive (learn to spell 3) British rule, and now we are struggling against an oppressive Progressive/Statist dishonest takeover of our Republic. Yes that is YOU and your kind.

Any fool who would take Jon Stewart as someone to quote, well you are probably the type to think Mao is just swell just like Anita Dunn.

Of course you don't see it as tyranny and losing of our liberties because you ARE A DAMN TORY!!!!!

3, you don't even realize the damage being done by your idol and company. If anyone is spewing hatred and lies it is they.

Well the truth is bubbling to the surface concerning ACORN and the Pimp story! Seems like the Taliban Wing of the Regressive Republican Party,it's on-the-air flacks and flakes "jumped the shark" on the story about the pimp O'Keefe and his round-heel ho!
Head on over to dailykos.com and click on the blog entitled, "What a huge day" by Mike Stark!Found on the right-hand side of the site.
It will be a lot easier for the most of you just to watch the video's, for your reading and comprehensive skills seem to circle the Port-o-Potty drain!
Have fun sheeple!

John Kerry does need to have a bigger role in Afghanistan. Give him one of those malfunctioning rifles and throw him on the front lines. Let him "report for duty" and finish the service he skipped out on in Vietnam.

A great example of free market solutions rejected by the Con Man in Chief. The left has no interest in providing health care (or anything else). It is simply a power grab. Didn't ole Bill tell us that Government knew how best to spend people's money?

liberal = hypocrite

John Derbyshire is not the first to say this about women and voting. Ann Coulter has said in both tv and in print over on World Net Daily that the massive growth in government started right after women started voting.

Neal may have a point on this.... Men cherish freedom and women cherish security. It goes back to the earlier days of hunter-gatherer... Men needed the freedom to go hunt the big game (hence freedom)... women had to take care of the home, (hence needing security from predators and enemies).

Some of this may have been passed on in the DNA which affects our thinking.

Just a thought.

Now don't get me wrong. I would vote for a woman if she espoused my views.. Margaret Thatcher, Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter.

Moreover, I would not vote for a Barack Obama, John Kerry, or a Barney Frank.

Neal why don't you run... we need more Libertarians out there.

Aw shoot!!! why don't we limit pay for athletes and celebutards as well? Oops I forgot.. the majority of them contributed to Obama's campaign.

Seriously folks if this stuff keeps up, the brain drain will occur in the US. I have heard the brain drain called by other phrases such as "Going Galt".

These people( Corporate CEO's) will go to the BRIC countries as their business acumen will be welcome there.

Brian Dolan is right. All you repugnicans are crybabies. You lost so now you need to kneel down before our lord Obamessiah.

Go back to your pedophilial movie directors...I mean Catholic priests and be good boys and girls and let us have our way. You guys are poopy heads and need to grow up and stop crying and calling people names.

Get over it you lost. We won, so give us what we want or we'll take our toys home with us.

"The third-ranking Republican in the Senate says the Obama administration is launching a Richard Nixon-like political strategy of making an "enemies list" of people who disagree with the president."

More of the "their coming to get us" rhetoric we're seeing from conservatives. And they're even playing the martyrdom card as some have even implied that Obama is going to use violence against them.

If Obama was half the tyrant they claim he is, they would have already been gone and in prison somewhere. Instead they are still free to spread their hate and rhetoric.

Maybe this will help encourage business leaders let the market rule rather than run to the government for everything. Sometimes, it feels business and fed relationship has gotten to cozy. Maybe now that its starting to bite them in the arse, they will return to being independent and truly market driven in their business practices. (Hoping its not too late for change)
