It's obvious Rush got it wrong. Since he refuses to apologize, with any luck, it will be his demise. Please don't post until you've finished watching the video.

I'm sorry, Hikertrash, I could only bear to listen to three minutes of this bleeding heart liberal with her "woe is me" attitude.

Now, I can probably accurately imagine what the rest of her speech says and my only response to her is...

Freaking take care of yourself, lady. The government isn't your mommy and daddy.

It isn't just the government that's the problem here.

We shouldn't live in a reckless culture where lawyers are given all this attention over promiscuity of all issues.

Talk about elitism, wtf? Is it no wonder we have such a bullying epidemic in this country where family values have completely gone out the window?

Yes... we obviously live in a cohesive society when acquiescing to a lawyer class that can **** with no abandon.
 
Rush lied?

No-ooooo...

Do you think he's been lying his entire career, misleading his audience, and filling their heads with vile ignorant crap... For decades he's been doing this??

So, a certain sector of the population that listens to his show has vile hateful thoughts in their heads.


Wow, good thing he is paid so well to corrupt people and their thinking, making them angry and hateful...

And they wonder where the problem is in our country. Look in the mirror, Limbaugh fans.

Now that's the kind of individual mandate I could support: Thou shalt take care of thine own self.

Do ya'll serve bread with your partisan baloney??

This woman made an excellent case for birth control pills being a medical necessity for many women who have problems with ovarian cysts and other medical conditions. That's truth, they are.

The idea that a particular religion demands an exception for birth control pills in Obamacare's minimum standards makes as much sense as Christian Scientists demanding an exception for blood transfusions.

Get off your Partisan Ponies and come join the rest of us on Planet Earth.

Blah, blah, blah.

If this lady doesn't like the insurance plan she has, she should take her money out of it and go buy a plan she DOES like...not try to get the government to issue a mandate to the insurance company. You know...kind of like "freaking taking care of yourself".

Does every woman have ovarian cysts?

Obviously, you don't understand supply and demand.

Just because you need something doesn't entitle you to force others to provide it.

If anyone needs to come down to Earth, it's the lawyer class bent on destroying freedom of association.

If you are against government mandated healthcare in the first place, your opinion is immaterial.

If you are against government mandated healthcare in the first place, your opinion is immaterial. Your opening question. Does everyone have diabetes? That's ridiculous. As to not understanding supply and demand, what in freakin' hell does that have to do with this discussion?

Can we apply that to everyone working for the Government who gets free health care for life?

Why?

Are you familiar with freedom of speech? Just because you disagree with someone doesn't give you the right to dismiss who you disagree with.

Do you think birth control spawns out of midair?

Literally, this debate is about Georgetown SUPPLYING birth control.

The right of free speech != people listening or caring about your views and opinions
 
Don't most insurance companies cover birth control? Why can't she just use that insurance?

If you disagree with Obamacare in the first place, that's what you disagree with -- the concept itself.

This debate isn't about Georgetown supplying birth control. This thread is about an eloquent intelligent young lady enlightening Congress on the sometimes medical necessity of birth control pills.

Let's not cover blood transfusions because some people use them to blood dope. Let's not give people morphine for pain because some people use it to feed their addiction. Let's not cover Viagra because some men use it to have three-hour hard-ons. Birth control pills treat very serious problems.

As to birth control spawning out of mid-air, that makes as much sense as the rest of what you've said.

My ex-wife works for the federal government and she does not get free health care at all...let alone for life. She pays her premiums like everyone else and when she leaves government service her coverage ends. Now, I don't know how MUCH she pays, but you can get an idea at this link: Premium Rates

How does demand get satisfied without supply?

Why are suppliers slaves to demanders?

She pays 1/3 of her healthcare costs at most:

The Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program is a system of "managed competition" through which employee health benefits are provided to civilian government employees and annuitants of the United States government. Workers pay one-third of the cost of insurance, the government pays the other two-thirds.

All Federal employees are eliglble for FEHB. Federal Employees Health Benefits Program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rachel Maddow simply destroyed Limbaugh last night on her show exposing him not only as a rabid right wing woman hater, but as a man who is woefully ignorant of female biology, anatomy and how basic oral contraceptives work. This might help explain why Limbaugh has been so utterly unsuccessful in the romance department over the years.

Rachel Maddow Show

a short ad precedes the video and it is well worth watching.

please don't
it was contracted with me at the beginning of my career, if i accepted and abided by the government's rules and expectations until i reached retirement, i would retire with insurance coverage (in part paid for by the government until i qualify for medicare)
don't wait until after i have lived up to my end of that agreement to unilaterally change the terms of the agreement

Because suppliers DO NOT EXIST without demanders.

Suppliers supply what demanders used to provide for themselves from the commons. Suppliers are inherently superfluous. (Unless they obtain "ownership" to an extent they become able to call the shots)

Demanders are human beings by definition. They exist. They will exist whether suppliers do or not.

NO ONE is a supplier by birth except nursing mothers.

Demanders are born, suppliers are made. This is not a chicken and egg argument.

Suppliers exist BECAUSE demanders exist. It is not the other way around. (Unless of course suppliers own everything. Then the relationship changes, and demanders exist by paying "rents" to suppliers)

I weary of all these "get the government off our backs" arguments from a class who wouldn't have **** if they didn't have a goverment AT their backs protecting their property. They would only have what they could hold by their own strength. Subject to seizure by anyone stronger.

I'm watching this video as I respond to your post.

Is she serious? The biggest news in American politics is THIS story??? This is bigger than gas prices? Bigger than Obama's foreign policy? Bigger than the sluggish economy? Heck, does she seriously think this story is bigger than the upcoming election?

Shameless plug for the Andrea Mitchell Show. Big deal.

Sorry, dude...I can only take so much of this liberal claptrap before I HAVE to turn it off. I got to the part where Mitchell was talking about Obama's call to this Fluke lady. I almost gagged.

Of course it is...in Libboland. They will do anything to take as much attention away from Obama, as possible.
