Posted on: Republicans are the real liars on health care

What a load of BS. The Supreme Court has ruled that unless a bill specifically denies coverage it will be granted. Therefore, abortions will be covered because the bill doesn't deny it. As for illegal immigrants, Nancy Pelosi specifically stated it would be covered and, again, unless written to deny the coverage then it is covered. The Senate bill, not yet published, will deny it.
As far as Medicare, once more, the House version states it will take savings from Medicare to provide benefits to others. So, how can you take away money from Medicare and it not hurt seniors?

I don't like the Republicans but I don't trust the Democrats either as they are both alike. When you want to reform something you don't crash the whole system and start over, which is what this program will do. When you give a mouse a cracker it will ask for a glass of milk. Once you open the door then government will take it over. Socialism is just that way.

Posted on: Why Nevada protects workers here illegally

Dejanos vivir agui. Trabajomos sin papeles y manajamos sin licencia. Mandamos dinero a neustras familias para sostener un gobierno corrupto.

Posted on: A party in disarray

Evidently Joe Wilson did not lie but Obama did. Didn't he realize that Pelosi told the press that illegals would be covered? Perhaps it would be better to say that Obama 'acted stupidly.' Until Wilson said what he said, people just assumed that if it didn't say that illegals would get coverage it meant that they wouldn't. However, the Supreme Court has ruled that unless a bill specifically denies a right it is assumed to give the right. Now, the Senate bill will specifically ban illegals. That doesn't mean it won't be in the final bill though with the bills being reconciled.

Posted on: Familiar face in awkward place in court

If the guy is guilty then he should pay the price but until then, he is innocent. Anyone that convicts this guy before a trial, deserves to receive the same treatment.

Posted on: Medical board suspends license of Vegas doctor

You don't like this doctor? He is the type we will be getting when we have government sponsored health care.
