My Opinion - Don't wonder why the libs. spend so much time, anger, insults and hate on insignificant Sarah Palin. It's just what they do. Let's not forget that they do this to Rush, Hannity & Bill O'Reilly on a daily basis.

Insignificant? HA!

Kevin Morris - Don't worry about the ditto-heads being confused, I think Yinzerati has already shown his confusion by his post from the HuffingtonPost. That "exerpt" probably was from "Going Rouge" NOT "Going Rogue."

I'm sure that was the intention of the copy-cat book.

It will by interesting to see if the media can keep the two straight.

my opinion:

Posts crossed. I hope you’re right, that Palin was just being gracious. I worry, though, that with “57 states” Obama was signaling to her his secret neocon agenda. If he and she find common ground there, maybe Biden should watch his back.

my opinion:

"Good" is relative; "least" is absolute.

We agree as long as an argument that there might be an even less expensive way is not used to thwart the whole shebang.

Do we agree?

As an aside I just heard that President Obama sent a note to Sarah Palin asking her if her book tour would take her to all 57 states. As a courtesy to him and to not sound like a bigot she sent a note back saying she would try to match his accomplishment. Now see everyone can get along if they try.

We want good healthcare for all at the least cost possible. I think we can agree on that. How that is done is up for grabs.

my opinion:

I *am* taking the moral high road. It’s long, wide, and he’s my brother. Plenty of room.

If we all want the same thing, wonderful. I accept that we can then differ on how to get there.

I want universal healthcare. Say it.

What say I to your first line? I’m not sure what it means.

Your last line may not be the clearest statement of what you meant, either, so I'll leave it. I don't play that dirty.

Callsign Not sure you can say we are the greastest nation if we don't provide healthcare as other "lesser" nations do. What say you on that. One other thing, don't take some moral high ground that you and those that support your positions are the only ones that care about others etc etc. and those of us that disagree on the approach are evil, selfish selfcentered etc etc. If you are going to be mean to me I'm going to have my mom wipe your mom

Bottom line is we all want the same thing, question is how to get there, so drop the I/we don't care crap and let's move forward to address the issues. Get off your high horse. You don't care anymore than the rest of us.

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

Sorry, but I don’t find Learjets in there, though, if you can afford one, feel free. I do find police and fire departments, public schools, a military, food safety, fair labor, and, by the standards of the modern world we live in, a reasonable level of healthcare, not just for those who can afford it privately.

By all means, let’s do it efficiently and so on. But for the 84th time, too many other countries do it successfully with excellent results for there to be any room to say that the United States cannot afford to, which is why I remain totally comfortable refusing to get bogged down in a game of dueling dollars in advance of the commitment to just do it – do what it takes – like we do for wars.

I asked above: Is the position that we can’t or that we shouldn’t?

Can’t is wrong. Shouldn’t is shameful, and in some respects ugly.

What I also said: It's about the kind of country we are.

The short answer on Biden is that I would have no problem with him as president. He was never my first choice for that, but he was, in fact, my first choice as Obama’s vice president. Short answer.

Mugy, there was a time when I thought Biden was the second best candidate for 2008, behind only the guy who cheated on his wife who had cancer (Do I know how to pick 'em or what?). I still think Biden had the best plan for getting out of Iraq successfully, but his actions over the past year and a half show that no matter how smart Biden is, it is just a bit less smart than he thinks he is. As a great man once said, "A man needs to be aware of his limitations."
