Goodbye Old GOP

I read the article. It does not make your case. I know you will not be able to see it. Religious freedom does not only apply to Islamofascists.

If you want contraceptives buy them yourself.

But Viagra is still covered. How hypocritical can you be?

I am puzzled. If health insurance was actually insurance instead of taxpayer-funded health care than you would get to choose your plan and pay an appropriate price for it.

I think you see the hypocrisy because of who you are.

Again ...the pot calling the kettle black......the one word that describes con-servatives is petty!
And if your pettiness wasn't such a danger to the stability of the country many would ignore you. But right now your juvenile insistence on damaging the country because most of us don't want to go back to the 18th century with you.... must be dealt with!!

Do you accept that governments must be limited, that their powers must be constrained to those in written constitutions or charters? Do you willingly give up the roots of your freedoms merely because the brilliant political thinkers who hammered out these ideas are dead?

What if I want to choose a plan that includes contraception coverage?

How many millionaires are there? If those who inherited wealth do nothing with it how long before those millionaires are no longer millionaires? Pelosi is a corrupt politician. Reid too. Yes. Kerry married into some of his wealth. Becoming a politician should not be a path to wealth. Moving to a fair tax would eliminate a major source of corruption, the tax law. You brought up the spoiled millionaires so this is fair game.

Depends on how much the milionaires spend and how much they can shelter away. No real answer to your question.

Funny you can only see democrat corruption :roll:

She didn't become a millionaire by becoming a politician, she did it the way McCain did, she married it.

The tax law doesn't corrupt, the influence of money on any issue does.

Actually the conservative guy brought up spoiled brats, i just gave him the complete definition of spoiled.

What about the mental harm their existance causes the victims family.

If an encarcerated criminal's mere existence is causing mental anguish to someone, that someone needs to pray.

"There is a wide disparity in the estimates of the number of millionaires residing currently in the United States. A quarterly report prepared by the Economist Intelligence Unit on behalf of Barclays Wealth in 2007 estimated that there were 16,600,000 millionaires in the USA."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millionaire#Number_of_millionaires_by_country

Other sources say less.

"The study found that at the end of 2012, 8.99 million American households boasted a net worth of at least $1 million. This figure is up significantly from 2008 when the number of millionaire households dropped to 6.7 million. However, it fails to top the pre-recession peak of 9.2 million households in 2007.

There are many people providing things that make our lives much better. The people who provide those goods and services become wealthy.

Not sure what this has to do with the topic, I cited my source and gave the numbers. at 6.7 million households that means just over 1 million of them got to be millionaires SOLELY due to inheritance. the 2012 number means 1.4 million households inherited their over one million in wealth.

The kid's innocent. The murderer isn't. No irony here. Move along.

Why prove a murderer right for having no respect for life if, after preventing him from harming others, you have no respect for his?

I don't know of anyone who wants what you claim that conservatives want. Try learning something truthful about conservatives before commenting.

you don't know....my point exactly. When you guys live in the Fox news bubble ....there is many things you will never know. For example ....many of you were so convinced you would win the last election ....that today you still don't believe Obama won.

Today you people are minorities .....the rest of the countryis looking ahead .....find some other way to indulge in your fetish for the 18th century ...the country don't want to go back there with you!!

When Democrats have exceeded your numbers for popular vote in five of the last six national elections your days are numbered.

A little historical comparison. Were the democrats days numbered when Republicans won the popular vote in 5 of 6 from Lincoln to Garfield? Were the republicans days numbered when democrats won 5 in a row with FDR and Truman? Were the democrats days numbered when republicans won 5 of 6 most by much bigger margins than the last 6 elections, from Nixon to Bush 1?

People predicting the end of one of the two party's viability are almost always wrong.

Yeah ..I agree with your argument ...but the survival of the parties is irrelevant to the survival of the US status in the world. The GOP will never build or re-build the rotting infrastucture of the country!!

Think about it ....Bhoenor, McConell ....you think those old stale .."all about me" politicians have any bold idea for the country? Those people will be in charge of any republican victory...and they know nothing more than the status quo .....line their pockets ...and take home pork for their buddies at home!!

 

[Campbell]

LOL.... you people are pathetic.....turn on any talk radio show and one in three caller is a democrat converting to republican ....and yet Obama trashed your ass in the last election.

That aside, you people are conned into thinking that rich people work 10 jobs to amass their riches. Let me ask ...why is washington filled with lobbyist everyday ....who do they usually represent?

I was convinced that most poor republicans are 100% idiot when they believed that poor people tanked the economy bush ran. They reasoned ...it's not the big bankers who routinely wine and dine the politicians ....nah....can't be those people ....it's that poor black woman who took down the American economy!!

This is why I'm so sure the US is on a fast track to be an advanced 3rd world country ....yes we'll have weapons and guns ...but our middle class will be destroyed before long. We captured lightening in a bottle during that last 100 years ...then we had politicians on both side of the isle willing to build rail, roadways, bridges ....etc. Just imagine how well ahead of the game we were building the New York subway back then.
Soon a Chinese person hearing all the hype about the US will come here and see a country thats a dump and wonder what the hype was about. He'll leave his country with sophisticated high speed rails, a country where everyone is wired and connected everywhere in the country ...come here to a country mired and stuck in the 19th century.

Thanks to the Tea PUUURRTY ....America can't even repair a 50 year old bridge today ...nah...don't want the evil GOVERNMENT doing anything. The only things liberals think when they think of the Republicans/NeoCONS/TEA-PURTY (and you're all the same) ....is how do you wake up every day with so much energy to act against your own interest!!
Because you see that liberal...he/she may at times get it wrong...but they always vote for their self interest. Not the people on the right...they constantly foam and froth at the mouth voting to somehow punish others ...even it means punishing themselves.

Look at you people fight and wailing away for the rich ....who wouldn't give you the time of the day ....and you're doing it for free!!!

Yeah ...you people don't begrudge the rich ....you have no problem with the Bankers walking away with $billions of our tax dollars...because you're commited to your relative sub-standard life and have no ambition to ever be rich!!

But you do begrudge the poor ...... you always want them to be poor to tell yourself you are not so bad.........you get red hot at the thought of somebody getting a few $100 to better their lives....least they raise their standard a living to yours!!

Damn...I wish I had posted that. You're certified "Dead On"

The Republican party has changed from a party which balanced budgets to one which borrowed trillions from foreign banks and funneled it into the pockets of the rich in the form of tax cuts. I was one when they stood for something besides the rich and corporations.

The Good News....it's just about over for them.

If we had a free market option I suppose someone would sell it to you. But it would not be insurance. It would be prepaid health care services.

We have dueling sources. In 2007 we have 16.6 million households worth a million or more. In 2008 the number was 6.7 million. In 2007 another number says 6.7 million. I think your number is bogus. It does not appear that anyone has a firm grasp.

On to the next topic.

Why prove a murderer right for having no respect for life if, after preventing him from harming others, you have no respect for his?

are you saying you DO respect murderers?

They have lost any claim to sympathy or consideration.

Let's be certain we understand, "murder" is UNLAWFULLY taking another's life. Doesn't apply to war or execution which is LAWFUL!

Your giving 'Trickle Down' way too much credit, PROGRESS occurs no matter who is pissing on whom. It happens in Countries that limit the volume and frequency of piss. It happened before Reagan and in the so-called socialist Europe.

You sound like the eldest in a family chiding the younger siblings for complaining about only getting hand-me-downs to wear...

THAT sounds like a spoiled brat to me.... :2wave:

So tell me, would you feel better if you were being treated for cancer by the US's healthcare system or those in Europe? It isn't a trick question. Our healthcare is better and theirs just progresses by sucking up our leftovers. If the US wasn't creating every goddamn healthcare invention in the world, socialist medicine would be nonexistent.

OH NO SIR! You wanted to know how many was many GOP spoiled brat wealthy 'tricklers' who are millionaires solely based on inheritance. There are at the low end of any estimate, over 1 million households that are over millionaire status due solely to inheritance with no real way to know how many had huge inheritances that secured third base before the batter even stepped up to the plate.

A million households at the very low end of the estimate is many in my book... so the I answered your rather off topic question. :2wave:

 

[Ahlevah]

When someone commits murder, he makes a choice to risk forfeiting his own life for taking that of an innocent. Obviously, if he doesn't respect his own life, why should anyone else?

 

[poweRob]

trickle down works very well.

you have better health care then the richest people had 30 years ago. That is an example of wealth trickling down.

the problem is people today are spoiled brats. that is precisely how your op stance sounds.

Talk about class warfare.

 

[poweRob]

What YOU think is worthless.

You're going overboard here. This is an opinion forum. It matters as much as any of us I'd suppose.

If you have a religious disagreement with Viagra it shouldn't.

Religion should have no say in the matter. Sorry... if your health insurance company wants to join the health insurance exchange... there needs to be standards that have to be met to get in the H.I.E. If your company doesn't want to have their health insurance cover B.C. or Viagra or whatever... stay the hell out of the H.I.E. and buy it somewhere else. Meanwhile their employees will shop off the H.I.E. if possible and tell their religious nutjuob employer to go to hell.

Q. How many people have been exonerated through DNA testing?

A. Since 1989, 308 people in 36 states have been exonerated through post-conviction DNA testing.

Very very true... but Ford never won any presidential election though.

Actually if I'm paying for it I can refuse coverage that violates my religious teachings as its my money.
