Shakespeare, Macbeth, Act 1, scene 1

A typical Dumb-Old-Rat ploy -- an attempt to foist off their culpability on the Republicans. It was the Community Redevelopment Act introduced under Carter, implemented by Janet Reno (she of Waco) and regardin which Bush and McCain both warned Congress that it was unsustainable which has gotten us into this mess. The Dumb-Old-Rats want to blame the bankers and Wall Street and everyone but themselves, but when you lend to those who have no way on God's green earth to make the payments, you're asking for trouble. Nevertheless Barney Frank-and-Stein, Maxine Water-on-the Brain and Barak Hussein Obamination assured that everything was fine. Apres moi le deluge.

Since when did that fatherless child, Prince Harry, have anything like a legitimate thought? He needs to ask the Obamination who has to read the teleprompter.

So if you can't afford to pay the cost of your medical care, you should barter for it with money? Instead of a chicken? That actually sounds even stupider that what she said.

If your head isn't spinning right now you should probably go get an MRI.

You simply ask them how much they will take in cold hard cash on the barrel head (Oh, I forgot, some here will probably think I'm speaking of a literal barrel so make that "cash in their hand"). It works. The price comes down.

hey gfsomsel,

Not only did she actually say those words, but look at the context and intent. Sue Lowden was campaigning.

In her view at the time apparently, she had votes to gain by launching into 'bartering'

After becoming the object of national attention, she reiterated her stand.

Now that's what you may call proof that what we got here is, in your words, kind sir or madam, an ignorant dork.

Yes, you are an ignorant dork. I'm pleased that you recognize that fact. Apparently you don't understand the English language very well nor how it is used to communicate. Admitedly Freud is supposed to have said "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar", but there is a figurative use of language as well which you fail to comprehend.

"ThisOneGuy" quoted a statement which I assume is what Lowden said in regard to the subject and she did refer to chickens, etc. Yes, at one time they did use chickens and personal services to barter for the services of the doctor. By using that story, however, Lowden was not suggesting we take chickens to the Dr's office to pay for our services. Today we barter with cash. Get your head out of the sand and TRY to cease being an idiot.
