		<description>My American Friends, 

I can tell you that our Canadian Health System WORKS!! 

Do not believe the lies and half truths. 

WE CANADIANS WOULD RIOT IN THE STREETS IF SOMEONE WANTED A US SYSTEM. 

Any new system your government wants to impose just ask these couple of questions,.....

1. Will I have to pay co pays and deductables??? if yes...scam

2. Can I go bankrupt from this new system???? if you...scam 

3. Is my policy portable and do I require to have a job  for insurance coverage????? if not portable- scam and job to maintain coverage ?? if answer is yes...SCAM. 

IF YOUR GOVERNMENT CANT ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS ....IT&#039;S ANOTHER SCAM PROVIDED BY YOUR FRIENDS IN GOVERNMENT AND INSURANCE INDUSTRIES. 

Have a nice fu**en day....and stop the propaganda on TV about our system.</description>

		<description>I had one of those conservative hacks spewing their fabricated polls at my place of work today. He said that cancer deaths were over 40 percent more common under Canada&#039;s system than under that of the U.S. I asked that he show me this poll. When he pulled up the website from which he quoted this statistic, I wasn&#039;t surprised to see that it was from Rupert Murdoch&#039;s Wall Street Journal.</description>

		<description>Over 70 percent believe we need a public plan with reform.If the gov`t runs things so $hitty why is the H.C. industry spending millions a day in lobbying?

Why have other country`s based their H.C. on our V.A. and our Medicare/Medicaid?

Why do over 18,000 people a year die in this country from lack of health care?

Why has H.C. cost gone up so much in the last ten years?

I like Dennis Kucinich`s state version and then move on to a National version just like Canada, start small end big.</description>

		<description>Back on topic -- Frank Luntz is a whore.
There is no other explanation for this poor excuse for a human being.  He is paid to spin and spin he does.  He does not shy from admitting it either.
The question in my mind is since everyone knows he is a shill and a shyster, why does anyone believe what he says?</description>

		<description>OT -- But worth the gossip factor

Apparently the C-Street House/church for Repugniscum in D.C. was also the site of trysts on occasion.

&lt;em&gt;Former Rep. Chip Pickering (R-MS) and erstwhile C Street resident turned down Trent Lott&#039;s old Senate seat so he could be with his mistress, according to the lawsuit filed by his estranged wife this week. 

Trent Lott resigned in 2007, and Gov. Haley Barbour offered Rep. Pickering the seat. But the congressman turned it down after his girlfriend, Elizabeth Creekmore-Byrd, &quot;insisted&quot; that their relationship could not continue if he accepted the seat, as he would have to stay married for public appearances. &lt;/em&gt;

According to investigation disclosed on Rachel Maddow&#039;s show, the C-Street House was named.  The house seems to be a safe haven for those engaged in certain activities, as strict secrecy is required.

To make matters worse, apparently the residents/members of C-Street hold themselves above the rest of us mortals -- they believe morals and ethics are &quot;secular&quot; matters and don&#039;t apply to them!!  This, as they preach morals, fidelity and family values.</description>

		<description>Powkat@11, You are right, but people in my own family couldn&#039;t give a sh*t about politics. In fact, they blame Obama for everything.

		<description>after reading what everyone has to say here - we are just ordinary folks (political junkies to be sure, but everyday folks) and we get it, most folks get it because they live it every day.  I think they see thru these lies.  Kinda gives me hope</description>

		<description>These buzz words can be neutralized by ads showing the Republicans who use these words and the money they have received from lobbyists for the insurance companies. The words to be used: Dishonest, uncaring, and in the hip pocket of insurance companies.</description>

		<description>Every time they parrot the talking points, someone should ask them why they are willing for kids and old people to die for their commitment to &#039;free enterprise.&#039;  

Ask them why they are willing to ignore the wishes of their constituents regarding a public option? 

Ask them why they prefer rationing by insurance companies?  And why they think insurance company bureaucrats are better able to ration care than &#039;government bureaucrats&quot;?</description>

		<description>Every time the Luntzites spout their evil little pack of code words they should be answered with a few of our own, such as 

&lt;strong&gt;Death&lt;/strong&gt;, as in the number of Americans who die every year from inadequate health care or no health care.

&lt;strong&gt;Profit motive&lt;/strong&gt;, as in what has helped drive health care costs higher.

&lt;strong&gt;40%&lt;/strong&gt; as in what is currently considered the amount of money might be able to save with a single payer plan.

&lt;strong&gt;50th&lt;/strong&gt;, as in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/06/11/life.expectancy.health.care/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the United States ranks 50th out of 224 nations in life expectancy &lt;/a&gt;

I&#039;m sure there are others, but you get the idea.</description>

		<description>Frank Luntz is the guy who said if you ask ten questions in a poll and you don&#039;t like the answers to two of them, just treat it like a lawyer and only use the other eight. He is a biased, conservative, Republican pollster, and a master at manipulating language. He helped Newt Gingrich come up with the list of words to use when talking about your political opponents (like &quot;sick&quot; and &quot;pathetic&quot;.) And he knows how to frame questions to get the results you want. 

Luntz dioes not believe in using rational, thoughtful arguments.  He believes in getting people to react emotionally, so they won&#039;t think.

Frank Luntz is, literally, the enemy of the thinking person.</description>
