re: #13 Charles

Do people really think the conservative cause is helped when Sarah Palin throws around words like, “Obama’s death panel?”

Yes, I do. I realize you’re not a conservative Charles, but I’ve been one (Not a republican, but a conservative, when I lived in NY I was not only in the Conservative party there, but volunteered for it as well) for all of my adult life. Is it over the top what she said? No, it’s not even that, she is simply ‘calling a spade a freaking shovel’. It is a death panel, in that its actions will decide who lives and who dies. Of course the ‘intelligensia’ and the celebreties and the powerful from both parties will always get what they need, but 50 year old guys like me that depend on 300 dollars a month of medicines to be able to breath, well eventually they’ll say I’m not worth the money anymore, then within a year I’ll be dead.

England does this already, so does the Neatherlands, so I suspect does Canada and the rest. I don’t want to be part of a system that eventually decides I’ll too old to waste money on.
