Conservatives Ecstatic That Obama Didn't Land Olympics

Again some Americans just do not understand world politics and sport. In would not have mattered if the Pope, Lady Diana or Elvis Presley would have gone to Copenhagen to support Chicago’s bid.
The Olympics is one thing Americans have no influence or control of. Plus it was a chance for the rest of the world to give America a black eye for wrecking the world economy, unfortunately President Obama has to take the slap in the face because of George Bush and his merry band of republican co-horts who did the wreck our world with its insatiable appetite for greed.
One day Americans will wake-up from their slumber and realize Countries like China, India, Brazil, and Russia have left them behind.
China as stood and watched Capitalism in full swing in the USA over the last 8 years, it has now seen what damage Capitalism does and shuns it to history books where it belongs.
Who knows, one day every American might have health-care, like the rest of the civilized world, but I won’t not hold my breath waiting, not while you have idiots in your media like, Basil Rush, Calamity Hannity churning out there sycophantic dribble.

Lack Of Competition Among Private Health Insurers

Astonishing how Americans dont know what is happening right under thier own Nose. The US government has spent billions of taxpayer dollars funding universal health care sytems in Iraq and Afginistan. Now you can argue about competition for your buy a life, health care system, but are you all really that darn foolish, you object to some form of health care system for all, but readily accept your taxpayer dollars bieng used for Universal Health Care, in countrys where your service people are bieng killed. Wakey wakey!!

Is Scotland A More Compassionate Country Than The US?

British Oil comapanys do the job better than anyone else, be it drilling in Kurdistan, Libya or of the Coast of Scotland. Every country will do what it takes to have oil. The USA invaded Iraq for the OIL amd murdered thousands of innocent people in the progress. PERIOD

Is Scotland A More Compassionate Country Than The US?

GuidoVanHorn.

I am afraid you still have learnt nothing at all, but its hardly surprising. My point was a simple one. All hard line middle eastern countrys made it known they would reteliate, for the shooting down of an IRanian passenger plane. The USA choose to ignore the warnings, thats the point. The USA , UK and Germany wanted to avoid an appeal being heard by al-Megrahi lawyers.The British Government could have easily have asked for al-Megrahi to serve the rest of his sentance in Libya, they did not, as al-Megrahi lawyers would not have dropped the appeal that was imminent. The UK, USA can make statements deploring the re-lease, but its the only way they could prevent the real facts from coming out of how Germany, USA and the UK failded to prevent the bomb getting onto the Plane. Iran had just endured a war with Saddam Hussiens Iraq, which the USA had sponsored by arming Saddam Hussiens Iraq, also the USA had bombed Libya in April of 1986, the two countrys had close tie’s and this was not just about retaliation for the shooting down of an Iranian passenger plane by the US Navy, learn your history, then you may be able to comment sensibly. The familys of the people who died on the plane and in the village of Lockerbie, were victims of the USA policy in the middle east.

Is Scotland A More Compassionate Country Than The US?

I have every symphay with all the victims, those on plane and the ground were innocent by-standers.This man should never have been able to live his last days in freedom. To much as been covered up. We nead to hear the new evidence, and Regan/Clinton/Bush 1 and 2/Obama/Thatcher/Major/ Blair/Brown all have there shame to hide.

Lets not forget, the US navy shot down an Iranian airliner in error killing all those innocent people as well.This is where it started. It was known PAN-AM were targeted in a revenge attack after the US navy made a catostrophic mistake. Why did the US authorities not act on the information they had. This plane could have blown up anywhere, and it was unfortunate it reached its altitude setting off the bomb over Lockerbie, 10 mins later and it would have been over the Atlantic Ocean, and nothing would have been recovered, and nobody would have been convicted.

The real issue is the powers at be at the time, knew this could have been prevented, and since then, there as been a concerted effort by all involved to make sure nothing can come out. We need a system that is free from abuse of power. Germany/UK/USA are responsible for allowing this to bomb to get onto a plane

Is Scotland A More Compassionate Country Than The US?

Scotland has devoled power away from Westminister and current government. What is annoying is the appeal al-Megrahi luanched 5 years ago, it took the scotish judicary 3 years to rule there was sufficent new evidence for the appeal, and its a known fact the USA government for the last year did not want the new evidence heard. This is a compromise, and all the squealing wont change the facts, release on compassionate grounds is more than the USA could have ever hoped for, and will stop the embarrasment. Britian as an exchange programme , where prisoners can be sent to there own country to serve out the remainder of there sentence, but even this was ruled out as soon al-Megrahias lawyers agreed to drop the appeal. They aint no smoke without fire. Lockerbie could have been prevented, but now all the new evidence wont be heard. Washington and the UK knew this was going to happen, they have all to hide, and this prisoner having cancer is a blessing for Washington

Why The Public Health Care Option Is So Important

John . Sorry mate but this is pointless, you ahve the highest mortality rate outside of Africa, Who feeding you all gthat dribble about the best single payer health care in the world. You are the only industrialised nation with a single payer system, of course its the best, you are only competing with the likes of Somalia. I have to get some rest, my sides are hurting from laughing mate. Have a great evening.

Why The Public Health Care Option Is So Important

John Galt. It was TARP or stimulus, cash for clunkers that caused your country the horrendous financial massacre of the people’s money “TAXES”

It was sinply the greed and speculation of your capitalist Bankers and stock-brokers. If you cant even admit to what caused the problem, then you ain’t got a cat in hells chance of moving forward.

You can bury your heads in the sand some of the time and hide from the truth, but in the end , you are only kidding yourselves.

Its pointless trying to put forward sensible comments here, if you are going to look the other way, while the Bankers and Stcokbrokers fleece you again and again, and then you blame Tarp. You got worse problems than i thought over there !!! Good luck and keep telling yourselves it was all that bloke fault, you know the one , he is named TARP

Why The Public Health Care Option Is So Important

No sunshine, you have misunderstood, use your taxes wisely. If the 17 richest countrys in the world can see they need thier citizens in good health to have a great economy, then there will only be one loser. I cant see how you can use taxes to look after roads, bridges, sidewalks, libarys, schools, but then refuse to even have a sensible fair debate about your citizens health. Obviously, roads, bridges, sidewalks libarys and schools are more important than people. You are missing the key component though, all these things are no good if your people dont have health care.

Why The Public Health Care Option Is So Important

I would never have thought the USA as as much poverty as India and Turkey.By Gum lads and lasses it must be depressing to have no universal health care. Only three country’s in the G20 do not have Universal Health Care, the USA India ,and Turkey. Have you people no shame???. What are your taxes actually used for, apart from bailing out your banks and Wall street. I realise you are the capitalists, but now even the USA socailises its debt, by paying off the Capitalist banking and wall street debt with your taxes. Sounds great dosent it, you cant have universal health care, it would require using taxes, yet you allow your taxes to be used for the failure of Capitalist banks. Bloody Nora you have some wierd idea’s by rewarding failure.

New Doubts About Palin's Stated Reason For Quitting

So you consider it okay to turn a blind eye to Corruption, as long as its paid fore by Neocons. I can not agree with that argument, a crook is a crook, no matter what there ploitical persuasion. No wonder the world is in such a mess with financial terrorists running our banks and Newscorp dictating the agenda by there corruption.

New Doubts About Palin's Stated Reason For Quitting

Alan. I am no fan of ex Gov Palin and her alledged abuse of her power, but this pales into insignificance when compared to the Owner of Fox News Rupert Murdoch. Today we finally hear how he as had politicians,and even Gweneth Paltrow phone tapped,. He as so far paid out 2 million dollars in out of court settlements, and his company Newscorp may well lose its broadcasting lience. How do you feel about this Alan ?, considering your paid by the Fox News Channel. I think Gov Palin as nothing to be concerned about comapred to Newscorp (Fox and others). I will be intersted to read your reply. How many phones does Fox News Tap?

Republicans Don't Know Who Speaks For Them

Asked by Gallup “what comes to mind when you think of the Republican Party,” A small group of people running around like Headless Chickens, I would not even call them a political party, as they are so out of touch with ordinary people it beggars belief. How many politcal partys are run by Radio talking heads, take notice of hasbeen politicians like Cheyney, Gingrich, Bolton.

Frank Gaffney: Obama Duped America Like Hitler Duped Chamberlain

Gaffney is your typical loser, and now he assumes 66 million American voters were duped, I have heard of a few Yank the Plaks, but not 66 million of them. Why give this R Soul Media coverage, thats whats baffling

This Means The Terrorists Win

Unfortunately this is a result of the USA’S laws allowing people to bear arms, straight forward and simple. Any Country that as a Constitution that allows people to bear arms must suffer the consequences of such actions. Over recent years there as been horrrific massacers of inocent people in the USA, and this is no different to the Colombine masacre. You can call it Terrorism, radical extrimists, religous nutters, far right pro life fanatics, it all comes back to the same thing, give any fanatic the right to have a gun, and he or she will use it. Pro life extrimists believe they can lose at the ballot box, but win with a gun.

Should The State Be Able To Order Chemo Treatment For A 13-Year-Old?

That depends on many different aspects and I would not furnish an answer without knowing all the facts.

Should The State Be Able To Order Chemo Treatment For A 13-Year-Old?

Speaking from experience of having undergone cancer treatment, the State should step in and protect the childs welfare. Until the child is of an age that he can make informed decisions, based on all the medical facts and fully understands the options,the State must have the legal and moral obligation to protect him. His parents do not have the right through religous or other beliefs to deny the child the chance of receiving treatment which could ultimately save his life. No parent has the right to deny a child life, and this is ultimately what the parents are doing, they are giving there child a death sentence

Republicans Ridiculed Pendemic Preparedness As Part Of Stimulus Bill

Kregg.

There are vaccines being used, Tamiflu and Lorenzo. Both were developed when Avian flu was first found, and they work on Swine flu. There is no known vaccine at present to prevent a person contracting the swine flu, but both Tamiflu and lorenzo treat it, and can be used in conjuction with each other. Have a good day, and good luck if you have to que up for a vaccine, I imagine the que will start in Washington and end in Seattle though

Republicans Ridiculed Pendemic Preparedness As Part Of Stimulus Bill

I am afraid you are showing your ignorance JaredfromTexas. Tami flu vaccine as already been used to successfully treat the virus. Of course as usual the Europeans are steps ahead when it comes to health. I admit it does not prevent it. Oh what codswallop you speak about populations as well. It does not matter if a country as 70 million citizens, its pro rota sunshine. if anything you should be able to provide the vaccine cheaper on higher citizen numbers.

Lets talk health figures shall we, the USA as the highest mortality rate for cancer, heart disease and diabetes in the developed world. Of course there’s a reason for it, no Universal health care, just look at the WHO figures on mortality rates.

I am sorry but ignorance cant always be used as an excuse, you sure do show it when it comes to health sunny

Republicans Ridiculed Pendemic Preparedness As Part Of Stimulus Bill

Funny how European countries prepared for Avian flu, by stocking up with vaccines for all there citizens and now they will use them as needed. Not Bush, his attitude was it wont happen in the USA. Well now the vaccines are needed and god forbid the USA as a major outbreak….because it simply does not have the capability to act fast. I suppose the Europeans are just superior when it comes to matters of Health Jaredfrom Texas. But hey !!! whats new

Republicans Ridiculed Pendemic Preparedness As Part Of Stimulus Bill

Alan. As with any virus that can be transmitted from human to human, you have to have vaccines in place, that can treat the virus. It looks as if the USA as not planned for such a pandemic and as usual. While there is no vaccine to prevent a person contracting the virus, there are vaccines to help cure it. What do American citizens think about only having enough vaccine to cover less than 10% of the population. Its another example of the Bush era, in failing to plan for its citizens welfare.

Republicans Ridiculed Pendemic Preparedness As Part Of Stimulus Bill

Well America is not prepared for a flu pandemic, what a surprise. The World health organisation as said the USA does not have enough Tamiflu or Lorenzo vaccine to cover 10 % of the population. Funny how France and England, both have 4 times the amount of vaccines the USA does and can cover everyone of there citizens. Good old Universal Health Care, you know what taxes are spent onto save lives. George Bush spent all of Americas taxes on a war in Iraq, and never prepared for such an advent like European countries did.

Bush Screwed Up Not Just The US, But The Entire World

Drk H

Why do you need Tarp or a Bailout??. Oh of course the free market went wrong and everything and everybody got stuffed. Definition of Capitalism is simple, Bail me out I have lost all my money and everyone else. Communist China owns the USA. Socialist Europe ain’t got the debt the Capitalist America as. Your argument is lost stop making excuses for failure, and accept the fact you screwed up big-time sunny.

Bush Screwed Up Not Just The US, But The Entire World

We know the USA as never been known for its exports!!! Not anymore! it as successfully exported its free market reckless debts around the world creating instability and havoc. Hey! it even takes the profits from Opel in Germany that’s created by the German workforce, to keep its General Motors Plants going while it fleeces the American Taxpayers.

To cap that, Chrysler is owned by a private hedge fund, and that hedge fund takes the American taxpayers money rather than using its own capital to bail its own company Chrysler out.

This is Capitalism , in its full glory. Is this what you call the American Dream. Debt , Debt and more Debt.

Texas Senator Cornyn Pushes Petition In Support Of Limbaugh

Alan. The Senator as lost his marbles.And followers of Republicans lost there marbles a few years ago. Limbaugh Talks the Talk, but boy oh boy is he scared to Walk the Walk, very much like your old sparing partner R Soul Hannity. Limbaugh will sit on the side lines criticizing and condemning, complaining, but if he really cared he would stand for office and do something about every things he dislikes. He Wont, he is to scared, and bereft of ideas.
