Palin's remark was so on target that the "end of life counseling" provision was removed from the legislation. That's a pretty good indication that she struck a nerve.

Dumb asses too afraid to face what she says head on ask you to dismiss her because she is stupid...with no evidence that she is stupid...no 57 states from her, or 4 letter words with 3 letters...and imagine the furor if she had made such a gaffe! Fact is the comment hits the core of the "reform". they want to cut costs, but not on the govt bureaucracy side, they want to cut costs on the service to the public side. Less facility, more users. Preventative care = health care for the healthy. Now me, I want health care when I am sick...but that's unAmerican I suppose.

You get that a lot from the truly stupid people of this world.

That's a pretty good >indication that she struck a nerve. It was a provision that didn't do anything. It was so much of a nothing that it wasn't worth fighting the FUD lie about it. But getting rid of it didn't change anything - lies don't go away when the thing they are lying about goes away. -- "In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found, than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department." - James Madison |
