Letty, Crist is getting hit hard in Florida. There are several questionable associates that have come to light. I admit I voted for him but as the lesser of two evils at the time.

Rubio has really taken off and is getting a lot of notice. I hope that he will be able to pull off the nomination. Charlie has really shown his true colors and it is not a pretty sight.

The idea of forced harvesting of organs scares me to death. Had something like this been in force 5 yrs ago, I wouldn’t be here now. I can personally vouch for “No Nonsense Nancey’s” statement in the above comment. While one dr. might think you’re a goner, there might be another one out there who sees it differently. Whose opinion do think Obamaites are going to take? Especially if there is some rich patient on tap who needs your body part.

Regarding forced organ donation–as a nurse of many years I have seen many cancer patients recover or go into remission after doctors have given them no hope. Did you ever hear of mind over body? It is just outrageous to think that they would do forced organ transplants on live patients.

WHO VOTED to PROTECT the TRIAL LAWYERS,
The No votes voted to protect the SENIORS

While it was largely lost in the debate over passage of Pelosi-care on Saturday night, it may turn out that the most politically costly vote many Democrats cast was against the Motion to Recommit.

Simply put, the Motion to Recommit gives the minority party one last chance to force a vote on a change to the underlying bill. Here’s a summary sent out by the Republican leadership of the Motion to Recommit on the health care overhaul:

The Republican Motion to Recommit H.R. 3962, Speaker Pelosi’s Government Take-Over of Health Care, would amend the bill to add medical liability reform (savings of $54 billion) and use the savings achieved to create a “Seniors Protection and Medicare Regional Payment Equity Fund.”

The fund would require the Secretary to prioritize funding to protect those seniors hit hardest by the cuts to Medicare under Speaker Pelosi’s bill. Specifically, the purpose of the fund would be to:

Preserve seniors’ access to Medicare Advantage,
Protect seniors’ access to medically-necessary care (including seeing doctors and hospitals without waiting in lines, and preventing coverage determinations based on cost), and
Address payment inequities and geographic variations in Medicare that hurts seniors who live in areas with high-quality, low-cost services.
The Pelosi Government Take-Over of Health Care cuts more than $500 billion from Medicare, leaving seniors with reduced benefits and fewer choices. While at the same time, the Pelosi bill protects trial lawyers by not addressing real medical liability reform, a critical reform that would reduce health care costs for all Americans. The Republican motion to recommit offers Members a choice on who to protect: seniors or trial lawyers.

Naturally, almost every Democrat in the House of Representatives voted against the motion. They will face commercials attacking them for supporting their trial lawyer buddies instead of Medicare recipients.

Everyone has to face the ruthless truth, any candidate who cannot break 25-30% out of the gate needs to step aside,

Respect for Penry in CO, he did the right thing.
NOW
Crist needs to move out of the way! Besides he is responsible for McCain anyway!

Hutchinson needs to move out of the way. I like her, I respect her, but she does NOT HAVE THE RIGHT STUFF to Turn Texas into the New Republic of Texas!

GOV’s can save this nation if we elect those who have spine and fangs!
