No lie is too false and no harm too great to inflict upon a political enemy because what is at steak for them is their power, and that's what they worship.<br /><br />they don't care about their own guys.

Have their eyes been closed to the world? Is it not their peers that are having to choose between food and medication...are they not the ones losing their life savings to end of life medical bills? The new law will cut the cost of their prescriptions in half and will nullify previous ceiling limits to care offered by insurance companies. These changes needed to happen. Also, do they not have family members who have been denied coverage because of previous existing medical conditions. The health care system as we now know it is warped. When the changes take full effect in 2014 it won't be perfect, but will be far more equitable for hard-working americans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11516215.post-13676037555393441892010-03-25T09:12:16.165-07:002010-03-25T09:12:16.165-07:00Hi Metacrock, long time since I've read this b...Hi Metacrock, long time since I've read this blog.<br /><br />There are a number of reasons for the current political climate, but here's one thing that I think happens far too often:<br /><br />We are all taught to question our sources of information, and often times a specific event causes us to question those sources (such as the mainstream media) on our own. However, a good number of people take away the wrong lesson: instead of being savvy at mainstream sources, they reject the mainstream altogether. Then they find their own sources, which are usually very partisan or ideological, and believe every word of what they read and hear.<br /><br />That, in my view, is how malicious rumors are spread so quickly and are so hard to dispel.<br /><br /><br /><b>may be but I think it's more than that. The one dimensional middle class sees its dream evaporating, since they can't join in and work for a better society (because they believe all that BS bootstrap stuff) they are more willing to serve the interests of the rich hoping that will someone give them an "in."</b>Joseph Hinman (Metacrock)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06957529748541493998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11516215.post-27587237317151883382010-03-25T09:10:12.177-07:002010-03-25T09:10:12.177-07:00Sadly, we're going to be hearing all the lies,...Sadly, we're going to be hearing all the lies, obfuscation, and hyperbole for the entire election cycle.<br /><br /><b>now you are speaking in tautologies. you did say "election cycle," and and lies in the same sentence.</b>Joseph Hinman (Metacrock)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06957529748541493998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11516215.post-68507136030581737312010-03-25T03:14:50.320-07:002010-03-25T03:14:50.320-07:00Hi Metacrock, long time since I've read this b...Hi Metacrock, long time since I've read this blog.<br /><br />There are a number of reasons for the current political climate, but here's one thing that I think happens far too often:<br /><br />We are all taught to question our sources of information, and often times a specific event causes us to question those sources (such as the mainstream media) on our own.
