      Laura Ingrahm, her lips move but nothing of consequence ever comes out.
      She tries so hard to sound important but she has so little clout.
      I heard she once had her own show on Fox News.
      Wow Laura, dumped by Roger Ailes, i'd hate to be in your shoes.

      Speak truth to power.


      Mr. News

      People 65 and over, including the AARP, are covered by Medicare/Medicaid, which has no hospice chute. This is an invalid argument, and completely pointless except for attempting to score cheap political points on the unwary and uninformed.

      I remember when the press had a duty to inform public opinion by presenting both sides of a given topic or idea. Now, it seems the media is mostly used as a bludgeon by the few conservative billionaires who run it, in their clumsy attempts to affect public opinion and change government policy.

        What about the cuts in Medicare / Medicaid payouts to doctors? (That is already part of the Dems plans)Especially when the baby-boom generation are just reaching the age for Medicare. Don't you think that many doctors are going to quit taking medicare patients? Oh, I suppose the government is going to MAKE them take these patients? So who is going to take care of these people? If you don't think there is going to be health care rationing for seniors, you're sadly mistaken.
        Have any of you read the health care bill? Maybe you should.
        Think about things for a few minutes before you open your mouths and let your ignorance show, just because it was some "Neocon" saying something you don't agree with.

      Laura talks about what Obama’s Health care plan is about and not about. Let us talk about Laura is about and not about. She is not about having a coherent line of reason behind her opinion. She is not about being in touch with reality. She is about trying to use scare tactics to get her way.

      In the fine tradition of Bill Kristol, Laura Ingraham is apparently willing to intellectually debase herself and say stuff that she knows is false in order to please her listeners.

      I guess the Republicans and Blue Dog Democrats have never encountered anyone wrongly denied coverage by a private insurance company seeking higher profits.

      Maybe we should let KBR take over Veterans' healthcare. They did such a good job with those shower facilities in Iraq. Privatization of veterans' medical care would yield more competition, right? Can't have the government involved in healthcare...

        Speaking of Bill Kristol, anyone see Jon Stewart spank him badly last night on the health care issue? Funny stuff.

          Classic. Especially when he got Kristol to admit that the best health care is the government-run system in place for the military.

      The right is beside themselves with idiocy. Offering more Americans access to healthcare is killing them?

      Who listens to these people? Who takes them seriously?

      Soilent Green.

      The new GOP strategy. Only a matter of time before they start talking about people being shipped off to gas chambers.

      Bill Maher is absolutely right. America is doomed because we are collectively just too stupid.

      Laura, you forgot to mention the ACORN death squads...

      Laura, just out of curiosity, how does an educated person such as yourself become so stupidly deranged? Did you suffer some unspeakable violation of your dignity which caused you to plummet into the abyss?

        Of course! The Acorn Death Squads will kill old people, grind them up into Soylent Green, then give it away to illegal aliens... and tax rich people to pay for it!

        Why didn't we think of this years ago?

          Because we're the loony left. We're so loony, the only things we can come up with is the Global Warming hoax, running a non-native socialist muslim terrorist sympathizer up through the political ranks, and engineering our own demise by killing babies and promoting same sex marriage. Duh. We've been a little busy, okay?

      Good lord, Ms. Ingraham, don't you know the demographics of conservative talk AM radio? You're telling your audience not to seek treatment when they feel ill? Get ready to kiss your Select Comfort Mattress, Lifelock, Write Your Own Will, and Generic Investment Scheme advertisers goodbye.

      I have no problem with their view of things to come. At least I won't have to listen to any more nonsense form the dead baby juicers, Palin fanatics and Republican Jesus creeps.
