Everyone having a solid weekend? Hope you're not thinking about pending Cabinet appointments. Is Frank Booth about to be named Oxygen Czar? Hey, at this point, why the hell not? In spite of that whole deal , here's a little Corporate America Nice Time:
I should have followed the logical train of thought! Sadly, you're right. Prediction here: Congressional Rs will keep taking pulse of those voters and if they're still like frogs in boiling water, it's all good. But if they're realizing they've been conned, GOP will shove Trump under the bus. There'll be no lack of material.
I suppose you liberals are not going to give Trump the credit he deserves for the fall of the Berlin wall and the discovery of penicillin either. TYPICAL!!!!!!111111111
Thanks, this does bring up a question however. If you invented red wine and Major League Baseball serving only beer at the games seems to be a missed opportunity at cross marketing.
I afraid I didn't make my point clear. What I am talking about is a whole separate issue from the ACA and doesn't have a thing to do with whether or not the opposition party will resist it. We have not really tried to fix Medicare or advocated helping clinicians paying for their training or really done much to test Republican interference with price controls on medications.No shit the GOP has fucked up every previous attempt to do anything healthcare in general and the ACA in particular. I do not recall any specific mention of rural healthcare other than Scott Walker's promise to help practitioners with school payments if they worked in rural areas after graduation. A popular promise, which he immediately abandoned after re-election. This is popular and important area for national concern in the next couple of decades. NO FUCKING SHIT the Republicians are in control in most of the states and all of the federal government. What else can the Dems actually run on that makes sense and will get popular support, especially in rural areas? Banking reform? Legalized weed? WHAT? They have nothing. This is something. I feel you did not understand my anecdote about the the condition of health care in rural New England. And with no respect at all, I have honestly been a hospital pharmacist in largely rural areas for the last fucking 25 years.This has nothing to do with the ACA. It is a separate set of issues. What is your direct experience with this topic other than the common knowledge that the GOP fucks everything up? Both posts are patronizing and miss my point.What else can the Dems run on that will get votes from elderly rural whites that doesn't involve using the word nigg**? What are we supposed to do, curl up and die because some people are pessimistic and both parties lack imagination and awareness of a bigger picture? ETA We are talking about 2 separate thing when we talk about ACA and access to rural healthcare by increasing Medicare reimbursement , increasing the number of general practitioners and negotiating price controls on prescription medication. I am well that the ACA was hard won fight and the GOP has been threatening to kill it. It is also extremely popular and I think there will be a big fight to keep it. Even Trump is waffling about killing it completely. If the Dems get their heads out their asses and remind people loudly, sincerely and constantly what they are going to lose, it might even help save more of it. The key is for the Dems to get their heads out of their asses and blow-up all aspects of access to healthcare so it is bigger than ISIS in the minds of the American voters. The growing destruction of our healthcare system at all levels IS a greater threat than ISIS. I don't know if they can do it or not. But we all stand to lose a lot if they don't try. It's a complicated and multifaceted issue which if I had time and did a better job of editing I could go on for hours about. The ACA is not the only apple on the tree and the elderly already suffer due to the price of medication and difficulty accessing healthcare due to transportation and distance issues and lack of healthcare practitioners nearby. I won't even get into how fucking hard it is to find mental care anywhere, especially if you are poor or on Medicare. This is a real set of issues and they need to be addressed as our population ages and lives longer. And old people vote, especially when you either threaten or offer to help them specifically. Throw in stuff about eldercare and Paul Ryan's attack on Medicare for younger people and maybe the smarter people will be attracted and it can snowball to attract the less aware folks too.Yes, yes TL:dr Please direct your response to the issue I am actually talking about,not the ACA or that Repubs are assholes. Or not, whatever. Your dismissal of my knowledge of this subject and point of view really pissed me off. Just because you are unaware of an aspect of something doesn't mean it doesn't exist or it's not as important as your experience. This attitude is what gave us Trump and the Republicans.
Same here. I went to a private college thanks to the United Steelworkers and a Democratic governor (Milton Shapp) who expanded Pennsylvania's scholarship program so I qualified with my good high school grades for a pile of money. AKA "the good old days."
I wish I could forget that "freedom fries" were ever a thing. I would have much preferred they changed the hairstyle name to a freedom braid, since it would have at least been paradoxical.
"Nobody gets out of here alive," as my Dad says.
Beavis libelz!
Gotta please the Mittster.
In 2 years,more of them will be unemployed.IFYPFY

Me too, I am not sure why but I seem to have the Third Reich on my mind a lot lately.

And none of those rude comments.

I wager $30 all three come true.
