I think we must really begin to talk about end of life choices. Is it really wrong to end a life filled with pain? I think if more people have seen a loved one suffer till "natural" death occurs, their perspective may change. My own father had a heart attack and fell into a coma which resulted from brain death due to lack of oxygen. Wh had to have him moved to a hospital that would disconnect him from life support. The hospital he was moved from was charging his insurance a ghastly sum of money to keep him alive. I've watched parents of friends slowly dying of disease, knowing what is on the horizon, and just wanting it to stop. Not just their pain, but also what it does to the family.

The point is, it's not all dollars and...

Want to take a good first step to fixing health care?

Stop the lawsuits! Starve a lawyer!

Till doctors no longer have to perform redundant and un-needed medical tests just to keep themselves from being sued, then costs will be needlessly high. We can debate these things all day, but this is where we really need to start.

Tort reform!

7 Lies of The Obama Administration

Have average people lost the ability to tell when someone is lying to them. While watching the two years worth of speeches before the last election, didn't anyone see this man was telling folks what they wanted to hear. I can understand the black community wanting one of their own for president, but you can't tell me there wasn't about a million better black candidates. Twenty years in a church that he apparently slept through the whole time? People, please!

Obama is like the bad boyfriend/girlfriend, lies to you all the time, but too good looking to dump. There are too many americans out there who have an emotional investment in this man. It's not good for them, or the country.

I'm conservitive. The repubs need to find a voice or it's forty years in the desert for them. You can't keep pulling out the same tired flag and march behind it, it's just not working. You need to find a way to combat the hand-out mentality. Not sure how you can, but you have to keep looking.
People up in arms over something they have not heard, was a big mistake. Obama and the boys played the folks on the right. I don't like the study questions and workbook part. Yet till the speech was released, what is there to beef about.
No one on the right liked the way Bush was treated, so why do it to Obama? He does enough wrong(in my estimation) things to complain about. No need to invent them.
Cheney is a man.
He tells you what he thinks, not what he thinks you want to hear.

Instead of asking a lawyer if it's ok to use certain methods while interrogating TERRORISTS, Cheney would beat a terrorist WITH a lawyer if it would keep this country safe.

Cheney does what is good for America, not what is politically expedient.

Love him or hate him, you know where he stands, and you never have to read between the lines.
You folks should stop chasing this certificate thing. He's not going to show it for one reason. To keep you looking in the wrong direction. Let's just say he is not a citizen. IT'S TOO LATE!!! You should have taken care of this BEFORE HE WAS ELECTED! I did not vote for him, and think he is doing great harm to my country. But you are playing right into his hands by harping on this. Do you seriously think that forceably removing him is good for America? Kiss the Rebublican party goodbye, because that's who will be saddled with the blame for that. There are enough other reasons to go after Obama. You are fighting the wrong battle!

I've noticed something since Obama has been elected. The TRUE BELIEVER. You can show someone the most apparent fact, and they simply won't believe it. They can't be talked to, or reasoned with.

I thought Bush was a good president, not perfect, but on the whole a good leader. When others would disagree with me, I would listen to their points, and part disagreeing not disagreeable. That does not happen today. To say anything remotely against Obama, is to start an arguement, not a discussion.

As was said in a post earlier, Obama is as a god to these people. This frightens me more than anything else. I don't want to compare Obama to Hitler or Mussolini, but how can you not with the way things are going.

Having voted for the man for over twenty years, I think he's worn out his welcome. The way he's been leaning more to the left over the years, has become a full fledged tilt. The party jumping has done it for me. I knew he was a RINO, but to bail out on voters like that, and his performance at some of the town halls.

Toomey will still have one hell of a fight. The Philly 'burbs have been flooded with NY libs moving into the area since 9/11. In what was once solid republican territory, I could walk from Chester County to Philadelphia on the top of democrats heads without ever touching the ground.

I'm trying to figure out how you will be labeled an "Uncle Tom" for this column. It makes no difference that it is factual, it just matters that it is against the President.
