Ha. failed Republican policies like those put in place by Barney Frank and Chris Dodd which led to the mortgage/housing crisis and was the biggest reason for the length and serverity of the recession? I didn’t know they were Republicans, Cmatt. I know you like revising history, but this is too much. Failed Republican policies like the Obama stimulus spending that had no positive effect at all and contributed to the debt? I didn’t know Obama was a Republican.

No Ishii like less regulation and further benefits to the wealthiest among us, those least in need, which don’t trickle down as much as you may like to think.

What % of the total income should we take from the top 5% of income earners to be “fair”, in your view?

I was more than fine with Obama’s original plan to end the Bush tax cuts for the top 2 or 3%. That would have at least been fairer.

While they should be scared to death of the $500 billion Obama is going to cut from Medicare and hand out to others on Obamacare.

How much of that were cuts in the private Medicare Advantage and physician reimbursements rather than in traditional Medicare which what the vast majority choose to remain on?
 
SamH said:
The only problem is doctors are becoming reluctant to accept Medicare coverage and are much more reluctant to accept Medicaid coverage. What good will all this socialized “Health Care Coverge” be if no doctor will see you?

What makes it worse is that people with Medicaid coverage can’t find doctors that will accept their coverage and are many times times denied treatment at “free” clinics because they have health care coverage.

So much for the conservative argument I heard someone espouse the other wk that physicians take an oath to treat and care for the sick. So no need for anyone to worry if they don’t have adequate health insurance coverage. :rolleyes:

You left out senior citizens. If any group will tip the general election in favor of Obama, I believe they will. Many are scared to death of the GOP push toward privatization of health care.

Not this senior citizen. I’m simply afraid that Obama will leave a bankrupt nation to the next generation. I expect that younger people will end up much worse off because Obama most of all refuses to deal with the debt. Should I or any other senior citizen just take whatever we can get at the expense of the nation?

As for women, I suppose these women won’t be voting for the president.

Don’t you know that some posters on here, like CMatt25, like to hold one section of selected Bible verses higher than all other Bible verses and would like to ignore more than 2000 years of [Tt]radition and scholarship?

I find this type of thinking problematic.

Thank you for your personal assessment of “posters on here like CMatt”. :rolleyes:

Now back to the OP…

“Republican criticism of birth control played a big role in the party’s race for the presidential nomination in recent weeks, with Romney promising to end Planned Parenthood, which provides family planning services.”

I think the poll perhaps reflects more of a problem a large percentage of women have with the Republican Party than with only Romney himself. Having an “R” after one’s name might not be something Romney can hide or run from after this primary season is over.

I question the reliability of a poll that was done on 933 people, average of 77 people per state.

I would have to agree. How do you get 77 people to represent the voting habits of several million people? Is the + or - on that poll around 20%?

So Obama is wrecking the health care system and you blame the doctors? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Which serves tens of thousands. Great, but we have many multiples of that “tens of thousands” who would need care, in more areas than that which the organization offers.

If it was done once, it can be duplicated.

What can be done at the 10,000 customer level may not be able to be done at the 300,000,000 level. A matter of the problems of scale.

It isn’t needed for 300,000,000. I thought Obama’s numbers were 16 million (or thereabouts). Scale yes, but we aren’t going to start free clinics for every resident of the United States. Some people out there actually don’t mind paying for services rendered.

Yes, because the only reason people need free or reduced medical care is because they “mind paying for services rendered”, not because they just can’t afford it.

Hopefully enough voters will realize that going back to failed Republican policy that got us into the mess to begin with isn’t the answer.

Matt, it was DEMOCRAT Party policies which led to the mortgage collapse, INCLUDING those of the odious Barack Obama, who sued Citibank in Chicago and forced them to dissolve rational standards and give bad home loans to unqualified minorities. It is unconscionable to support Barack Obama, who trashes Christianity, morality and common sense at every turn. :mad: Rob

Senior citizens are not going to like the panels in ObamaCare, they are not going to like the fact that Obama cut $500 billion from Medicare to fund ObamaCare.

Left ObamaCare supporter Kaiser Family Foundation pollster found senior citizens by a 27 percent margin have an unfavorable rather than favorable view of ObamaCare.

Code: 
 Already I see sick patients at my dad's facility who go untreated until it is too late. Pneumonia is a common cause of death, and often it could and should have been treated. Socialized "care" exacerbates every problem in the medical system. Actress Natasha Richardson may well have died b/c of Canada's sub-standard health systems. Helicopters were cut from the budget, and the first "hospital" that she entered, 2 1/2 hours away, before her brain had died, had no ability to relieve the swelling on her brain. 
 Is this the nightmare that we wish for AMERICA to enter? Wake up! :sleep: Rob

I think that this “resentment of people who are successful” nonsense that Republicans like to throw out shows an odd definition of success.

I don’t want to be like Mitt Romney; I’m not jealous of him. I mean, I’d like to have as much money as he does, but I want to be a high school football coach. My best friend wants to be a park ranger. Another close friend of mine wants to be an archivist. If I last ten years as a high school football coach and raise good kids, that’s successful and I won’t envy a Mitt Romney a single one of his moneybags.

Why does the Republican Party have this implicit “He who dies with the most cash wins” attitude? My father has vastly less money than Mitt Romney…my own high school coach has vastly less money than Mitt Romney…my parish priest has vastly less money than Mitt Romney…and they are all just as successful.

The high school football coach, the archivist, the parish priest (of course), the park ranger, - all are successful and honorable professions/vocations. The capitalist who builds successful businesses, or who re-builds failed businesses so that they become more successful is also an honorable profession or vocation. We need workers, managers, investors, risk takers, teachers, CEO’s, etc. Unfortunately, the Democrats definitely exploit peoples’ envy during election times when they constantly complain about “Republican tax cuts for the rich”. That is a constant refrain - GOP tax cuts for the rich. They will say, " we are for helping out working families, but the GOP wants to help out Wallstreet." You don’t think that is an appeal to peoples envy and resentment of wealthy people?
