rushmc 23 #204 August 3, 2009 Quote>The Queen bitch is loosing it! Classy! Such insults say far more about the person doing the smearing than the person being attacked. Ohhhhhhh, tweak a nerve? She has earned the nick name. She has publically admited she does not care what people think of her and her strong arm tactics and lies. You like her though? Surprises me some I have to admit. You know, also aiming comments like yours here at only one side says volumes about the poster too,dont you think?"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

Ohhhhhhh, tweak a nerve? What it tells me is the tweaked nerve is on your side of the fence. The fact you can't argue against the substance of what Pelosi is saying but have to resort to character attacks instead says you're worried about what she has to say. And well you should be - the unpopularity of health insurance companies is pretty much bi-partisan these days as can be seen, for example, here.

And the view of insurance companies is the tactic needed by those supporting this crap as a means to the end. Gotta have that villion so emotional responses are invoked to push the agenda. Why?

pirana 0 #208 August 3, 2009 Quote***As an example, one estimate that 10% of denied claims are unjust. $$$ for the insurance companies, and illness or death for people that rightly paid for that coverage. If you're really sick, how much time and effort can you spend fighting the insurance companies? A pretty meaningless number without knowing what percent of claims are denied to begin with, and also without their definition of "just." No excuse for fraud on either end or any place in the system; but this is positioning at it's worst. Some genuine research versus this "one estimate" would probably show "unjustly" denied claims to be a very small percentage of all denied claims, much less all claims in general. (Even using a relatively liberal definition of "unjustly"). So, for those making the claim, what exactly constitutes unjustly denying a claim? Examples please, and numbers for the percentage of claims denied for each unjust reason." . . . the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging them and kicking them into obedience." -- Aldous Huxley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't realize that there are Mods for only Conservative posters and another for only Liberal posters. Do you use a complex checklist that lists several items such as 2nd amendment positions, Tax beliefs, welfare opinions, the war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan....
