I missed the first part of this epic call from Susan in “left coast la-la land” California, earlier today. Her impassioned voice caught my attention about halfway through. By the end of her rant, I was in tears.
Rush says she speaks for millions…
Take a listen: mfile.akamai.com
And she did it without a teleprompter.

Ok – let’s look at least at one issue that this woman is talking about – “They are the party of abortion. They are the party of euthanasia. They are trying to wipe out senior citizens who are maybe not as useful to the Democrat National Committee as they should be, we’re not contributing enough to them.”
1. I understand that under certain circumstances abortion is legal in the US and has been under both Republican and Democratic administrations. So – are Republicans also a party of abortion? If you don’t like the idea get out, pre-select and then elect people who will get rid of it – hopefully not forgetting that those who will no longer have access to abortions may well need tax payer funded programmes to help them. Unless of course you think it is appropriate to throw them to the wolves.
2. The whole argument regarding euthanasia and senior citizens is a complete lie. A precise reading of any of the bills before your congress or senate would show this to be the case.
This woman’s rant is precisely that – a frothing foaming rant.

Finally a concrete point!! I doubt that this point could be steeped in more ignorance of American politics. The same is true of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the Iraq War. Just because it exists does not mean that a party supports it. The GOP has consistently opposed abortion.
The whole argument regarding euthanasia and senior citizens is a complete lie.
That is certainly an extreme interpretation of what is undeniably a truth. The desire to provide the treatments with the highest payoff means that those treatments with lower payoff will be neglected. And that leaves seniors at the end of the queue.

1. The number of uninsured Americans has been greatly distorted, to the point of rendering the number useless.
2. Insurance does not equal health care. Millions of people choose not to have insurance, and simply pay their medical bills as they arise. There’s risk involved, of course, but assuming that risk is their right.
3. What do you say to those who want insurance but can’t afford it? I say that health care cost issues should be addressed directly, rather than the indirect (and hopelessly optimistic) approaches suggested by the administration. I say that we ought to cover kids up to 18. And then I say: tough darts. Insurance against a catastrophic health condition is not a right.

Um, Mal…you don’t understand American politics *at all* if you can ask with a straight face if The Republican Party is also a party of abortion.

Abortion became law through the Supreme Court. The President doesn’t have the power to overturn Roe V Wade.
The Dems have a pro-abortion plank in their party’s platform, the Repubs have an anti-abortion plankin their party’s platform.
Dems tend to support euthanasia, Repubs tend to be pro life.
You don’t know the back-story to the euthanasia fears which are quite legitimate.
A VA publication “Your Life Your Choices” that was created by some lib group and used during the Bush administration until he found out about it, was brought back by the Obama administration. The pamphlet was characterized by the WSJ, as “The Death Book for Veterans”and encouraged seniors to opt for euthanasia so as not to be a burden to others.
A Center for Comparative Effectiveness Research has already been set up, creating a bureaucracy through which federal employees could determine whether any treatment is “comparatively effective” for any individual based on the cost, likely success and probably the years left in life.
The so called death panels was detected in wording in HR3200 that those 65 or older would be required to undergo mandatory end of life counseling…
Sarah Palin’s well worded hyperbole drew attention to this requirement in the bill, and it was taken out.

These questions are getting easier. I’d say, study hard, work hard, get a job and pay for your insurance just as you do for everything else in life. That’s what the rest of us did. This is America. The most free country on the planet. Unlike Australia where an Aborigni will never have power, this is a different country. And we don’t need your preaching.
But you have no right to health insurance just because you are an American anymore than you have a right to auto insurance or a house. You have to work for all of that. And if you don’t like it go to Australia where Malkie will pay for all of that for you.

While this is an old report now (2006), these paragraphs are still relevant:
The report was done at the request of Representative Sherwood Boehlert, the New York Republican who is chairman of the House Science Committee, who called last November for a review of the 1999 study and related research to clear the air.
In a statement, Mr. Boehlert, who is retiring at the end of the year, expressed satisfaction with the results, saying, “There is nothing in this report that should raise any doubts about the broad scientific consensus on global climate change — which doesn’t rest primarily on these temperature issues, in any event — or any doubts about whether any paper on the temperature records was legitimate scientific work.”
