[QUOTE=srbbnd;777433]People fear change I'm tired of these old fucks.[/QUOTE]

Nice way to describe our senior citizens! They fear change because they are afraid they won't get the same health care they have now. Obama and others pushing this bill will tell you that end of life health care is too expensive and there will be counseling on what care should be provided under the new plan. Counseling is too broad of a term and could be interpreted as we'll let you die because this procedure costs too much money. If you were say 70 years old, you'd be concerned too.

[QUOTE=superdave;777663]Race has been brought into the picture since the town halls aren't going well for the Democrats. I guess it's the Obama team's nuclear option. When in doubt shame the other side with racism. Paul Krugman wrote about racism used tacitly towards Obama in his op-ed last week. And I've seen and heard other news analysts claiming racism in the town halls. However, I don't think racism will work this time since most people don't see a logical connection between racism and health care. Hey Obama, it's not all about you, you ego-maniac![/QUOTE]

Sounds like an accurate synopsis to me.

Great article. IMO I feel a lot of people are just pissed Obama got elected and this gives them a chance to vent or something to pick at.

Look, I'm not even in favor of this plan in its current form, but I have to say that your statement is completely inaccurate. And if those 70 year olds are scared, it's probably because their share your misinformed point of view. Read this closely:

[quote]The proposal [B]does NOT[/B] say that you must submit to some sort of "counseling" that will result in you being forced to die without health care.

There's a lot more out there if you just Google it. And see the last article I posted: [I]even the AARP[/I] says this talk of "death panels" is bullshit and supports plan.

So please...reconsider your "facts". Your credibility would be greatly enhanced if demonstrated an independent understanding of some of the key elements of the proposal as opposed to whatever fantasies your biased right-wing sources try to scare into you in the name of their partisan agenda.

What's scarier to me than anything in Obama's plan is the level of intelligence being demonstrated by so many people at these town halls who are speaking out on national TV and making all kinds of ridiculous - clearly without even a clue as to what is actually [I]in[/I] the proposal. If we make these changes, we'll all become "Godless Rooshians" overnight!... We'll all start goose stepping and giving the Heil salute!... The government will force us to burn American flags and eat our babies!... Please. :roll: These are my fellow citizens who have the same vote as me and could serve as a jury of my peers?? [I]That [/I]scares me.

[COLOR=DarkOrange][I]The AARP hasn't endorsed any plan yet. [/I][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange][I]The country's largest advocacy group for Americans over 50 issued a statement after the event saying, "While the President was correct that AARP will not endorse a health care reform bill that would reduce Medicare benefits, indications that we have endorsed any of the major health care reform bills currently under consideration in Congress are inaccurate."[/I][/COLOR]

Me -->:Anal:<--Miro

You were saying something about facts and credibility?? Don't just listen to your President with big ears and in the future actually look into your facts. He is back in campaign (liar) mode. So it seems Seniors have a legitimate reason to be skeptical even more so now that they have been lied to.

So who is really playing the disinformation game here?? This makes the swastikas look like the dems might have done it now.

It is like what my boss says "it is hard to sell something when you don't know what the fuck you're talking about."

I wonder how the media is going to spin this tomorrow. Maybe just a quick retraction so the sound bite can stay alive and well.

Re: Town Halls Turn into Town Mess

how is this:

"Everyone should receive an email of the powerpoint or create a facebook account that you have on the news every night with the powerpoint attached. Have different attachments"

even remotly close to a webpage were you could get the facts, basically the same way as if you actually read the bill. Again, all im saying is that the goverment is not gonna call your house, or be-friend you on myspace so you can "understand" things, everybody has the oportunity and the responsability to do a little research if they are that much against the thing.

About the AARP, it seems they need to get their people in check, becasue you will find reports all over the news saying how local aarp offices are showing their support for Obamas plan:

West Los Angeles AARP supports Obama [URL]http://www.huffingtonpost.com/diane-meeks/west-los-angeles-aarp-sup_b_130356.html[/URL]

and heres more with some video of some AARP peeps saying how theyre advocating for the healthcare plan. [URL]http://action.afa.net/videos/aarp/[/URL]

again, i trully dont know why the AARP would back out of their own claims but hey, i really dont care.

I wonder how the media is going to spin this tomorrow. Maybe just a quick retraction so the sound bite can stay alive and well.[/QUOTE] Yes, I fully admit that my comment about the AARP was not correct: AARP says it supports health care reform per se, but they have not yet fully endorsed a specific plan.

But guess what? I was still half right; their spokesman [I]did[/I] speak out and say that the "death panels" are a pile of bullshit:

[quote]"We've been hearing concerns from our members that this is a step toward government-mandated euthanasia," says Jim Dau, [U][B]a spokesman for the AARP[/B][/U], the advocacy group for people past age 50, which supports health-care reform to help older Americans. "These are baseless scare tactics put out by those who seek to derail health-care reform. The bill would help people find resources to help themselves and their doctors make important decisions about the end of their lives."[/quote]

And guess what else? The AARP supports this advance care planning [I]portion[/I] that people are misconstruing as "death panels": [quote]The AARP's Dau feels that, despite the controversy, the advance care planning portion of the bill will survive and become law. [B]"This is such a commonsense, win-win piece," he says. "I'm sure it's considered good sense by lawmakers of both political parties, and medical associations and nursing groups."[/B][/quote] [url]http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/content/jul2009/db20090730_530683.htm[/url]

And guess what else? [I]None[/I] of this crap with the AARP still changes the fact that the claims by the right-wingers about [I]death panels[/I] (!!!) and such are [B]completely wrong[/B]. There is a difference in erring on what the AARP claims as to their endorsement vs. erring on the basics of what is in the proposal. Comprende?

So basically, aside from that specific comment about the [I]AARP's full endorsement[/I], which is like 1% of my post, the entire remaining 99% of my post makes complete sense and is relevant.

And by the way, let me say it again - [I]I don't even support the plan[/I] as it presently stands, which you could have found out if you had actually read some of my previous posts in this thread. But I try to form my opposition for rational reasons based on what's in the plan and not irrational partisan "socialism" fearmongering.

So chew on that.

#1257346Post 92 of 160

Re: Town Halls Turn into Town Mess

In response to some of the other posts, I never said there were death panels. Palin said that not me. The bill hasn't been properly explained by anyone so people will interpret it a lot of different ways is my point. And more importantly seniors and other citizens like me don't trust government or Obama. When Obama and the bill mentions end of life care as too expensive and we can save money then people especially seniors get nervous.

And another thing Miro, why are you arguing with me and RM if you don't even agree with the bill in its current form? You and the President were wrong about AARP's position. I'm for health care reform too, but I don't like the bill because no one really understands it and it's too big of a bill to pass not to understand.

I watched most of the Obama town hall and it seemed like a big lie to me. The way he explained it everyone gets covered, you can still see your doc and it doesn't cost any more money in taxes except for those rich bastards. If that was true, then I'm all for it, but I don't believe him. He basically said the plan would pay for itself or profit from cutting out waste in health care. I logically don't see how you can cover 50 million more people mostly who are illegal aliens without incurring billions more in cost.

#1257384Post 93 of 160

Re: Town Halls Turn into Town Mess

i think there is a big difference on supporting the bill, and just presenting the facts, ive been reading Miros posts and most of them are just examples of how misinformed people are, just look at some of RM's claims, which most of the times can be really inacurate.

Again on the AARP, just look at the links i posted on the other page, the AARP has been supporting the bill since it was proposed, what made them back out of their claims? i really dont know, but just look at the facts, the statements are there, the videos are there.

Also, just like youre pointing out, how can you opose something you dont fully understand, RM posted a couple of websites where you can get the information you need to fully understand the bill, then, once you understand it, you can take a position and either hate it or just support it.

Was watching this last night on TV, really gives you a different perspective on how much we need somekind of a health care reform. [URL]http://www.nbc-2.com/Global/story.asp?S=10887981[/URL]

#1257397Post 94 of 160

Re: Town Halls Turn into Town Mess

the problem is CJ is that the bill is written in hardcore lawyer jarble. Nobody can understand it. I actually tried reading it and realized it was a lost cause because I couldn't keep track of all the sections.
Which means you have to trust people. The mob (as we can see) doesn't trust anybody.

Miro death panels are exactly what is going to happen. They happen already today with Insurance comapnies (ever see John Q). The only difference is that the goverment will be in charge of you should receive. Rather than getting possible life saving treatment you will end up in triage with a saline IV. Again how much do you trust your goverment? and why if you do?

Also to say support from AARP members is support you are wrong. I need support from firemen for LaserAid but to say firemen support LaserAid would mean that I need support from the President of the US Fire Marshals. Watch out for the play on words.

I can't beleive that the AARP lie isn't a major story today.

And so we waste this opportunity to have a real debate about what could be done with health care because of these partisan scare tactics.

And John Q was a [I]fictional[/I] movie. Do you understand what that means? It means it was not a true story. Google it and see what you find. So while I'm not saying that problems don't occur with insurance companies, you may want to reconsider citing that movie as evidence of "death panels". ("oh runningman...this is so embarrassing...I hate to do this but :lol::lol:").

Re: Town Halls Turn into Town Mess

Miro you are just being ignorant because I ass raped you on your AARP call. You would be better off just admitting you were completly wrong and in the future you will look deeper into Obama's words.

John Q was a fictional story but the overall meaning applies to today's world. Surely you must have been to a hospital in your lifetime where you realized that more could have been done but wasn't because of money? I did when my grandma was sick in Michigan. They said there wasn't anything they could do and moved her to triage. After my mom signed the paperwork to move her to triage a different doctor (by my request to the family) came in and said they could have operated still (lungs) but since my mom already signed the papers there was nothing we could do but hold her hand and wait for her to die 5 days later.

Re: Town Halls Turn into Town Mess

TO RM:

You realize Obama doesn't call for many of these kinds of endorsements, one of his staff does, they are probably your age or younger with a college degree and have campaign experience.

If you look at AARP's website, one would assume they had endorsed the Obama administrations reform proposal, I would have.

Either way, endorsement blunders happen all the time, does not make anyone a liar, get a clue man.

If you think that "you've overplayed your hand" is a vicious personal attack, then you clearly don't have a thick enough skin to be in this forum.

And just like you were right when you posted a video of some random black dude talking yesterday and used it as evidence of "Obama playing the race card."

And just like all of your other dumbass Mossad / CIA "conspiracy theories" with no evidence to them whatsoever.

You sure were "right" in all those cases! Congratulations.

It must be nice to think that you're "right" in whatever parallel universe you live in. The rest of us on here think you're nutty and we read your posts purely for entertainment purposes.

Re: Town Halls Turn into Town Mess

I love this discussion...it's so much like the conservative right in the US describing the euthanasia act in The Netherlands as legitimate systematic terminating lives of sick and older people because they would be too expensive or economically obsolete. It is exactly the same, the conservative right not even twisting or bending words or phrases in the act but spreading blatant lies with the specific objective of instilling fear in people. A proven successfull tactic to mobilise frantic support, even for ridiculous measures or claims.

This whole discussion doesn't even revolve around facts, only around rhetorics. And any individual that is stupid enough to not make this distinction should be stripped of their voting rights.

If I went around saying that the world was about to end tomorrow or that there are little green martians on Saturn doing the macarena and snorting lines of coke, no one would be able to "prove" me wrong, either.

I must say Runningman, you do not back your claims with empirical observations or data...

[quote=Yao;777996]I love this discussion...it's so much like the conservative right in the US describing the euthanasia act in The Netherlands as legitimate systematic terminating lives of sick and older people because they would be too expensive or economically obsolete. It is exactly the same, the conservative right not even twisting or bending words or phrases in the act but spreading blatant lies with the specific objective of instilling fear in people. A proven successfull tactic to mobilise frantic support, even for ridiculous measures or claims.

This whole discussion doesn't even revolve around facts, only around rhetorics. And any individual that is stupid enough to not make this distinction should be stripped of their voting rights.[/quote]

its always like that though...the aim is to put the people with the initiative on the defensive.

[quote=toasty;778006]So if someone were to come and rip something out of your hands, you'd be cool with it? Shows a complete lack of respect -- that's the problem.

Also, are you really unclear on whether a Dem or Republican ripped it out of her hands? Give me a break. Pretty disingenuous, IMO.[/quote]

Toasty it turns out that nobody was allowed to bring signs into the building. That lady broke the rules and that is why it was ripped out of her hands. It clearly was a lack of respect on her part by not following the rules.. Yet again you guys speak not knowing the facts and you claim to have all the answers.

Oh and CJ so now I am some Glen Beck lover all of a sudden. You guys are to much with all the bullshit you make up. Your God Obama lied and now the personal attacks come. That is what always happens whenever we talk about Obama and I disagree. For the record I bashed Bush even more then Obama. Plus I already explained what an endorsment is. You can't go to Best Buy and have a worker there say they like you and claim that Best Buy as a Company likes you. CJ have you turned on the news today at all?? They have been talking about how Obama "jumped the gun" and "mispoke" all day. I already gave one link of many out there. Google it.

How are the American people supposed to believe the salesman when he doesn't know what he is selling and who supports him??

Also what is with Obama and his little white girls asking questions?? A while back a little girl was asking questions and she missed school and Obama signed a note for her. Yesterday there was another little girl reading her moms (or the whotehouse) notes she was handed.. How cute..

Yao how so he lied? Waitl, What topic. We kind of went off topic on different things from all the personal attacks by the Obama Deepthroaters..

Re: Town Halls Turn into Town Mess

Let me be clear you can't get an endorsment from only a member. You can only get an endorsment from the acting head of the organization.... HOW MUCH CLEARER CAN I MAKE THIS CJ??? YOU ARE RETARDED!!

There never was a retraction. They said they were for health care reform but never Obama's plan. He LIED..
