      It is ok with Roger Ailes, the man Howard Fineman (Newsweek ) described as a good american who really loves the country. Dick Morris is a windowintothe mind of his employer. I have nioticed it is getting harder for FOX employees to speak the script and they seem to stumble a lot trying to exhale the talking points in a smooth speaking style. I am sure the more sane ones are questioning in their mind where this is going..

      Ad revenue is down across the board at fox news.Most of the commentators at fox news that are not young and perky are not covered by fox news health care plan because of pre-existing conditions.Bonus pay,and promise of more pay has disappeared.They are not waving money freely to get people on board.The recent Bush staffer that joined fox,they used to brag about how much money they were paid to come aboard.So they got to let them hustle a little(lot)on the side.Dick Morris is not the only one they let hustle a little money on the side.It got out of hand when they let the birthers hustle.That pushed the envelope allowing everybody else hustle a little harder,with lost revenue and such.Kinda like if you know you gonna have a crowd,let somebody set up a hot dog stand while they talk.That's the difference in the liberal news media and conservative(republican) news media.The conservative(republican)news media believes in the free enterprise system.And if you come up short it ain't my fault you better find a way to get it.

        I did notice that Chris Mathews is starting to change his tune, finally realising this constant anti US drumbeat from within cannot be good. Unfortunatelly for Mathews (and Scarborough ) I have pretty much turned them ff for they still have Buchanan on board, someone who I have a personal boycott running.

      Pointing out Fox News hypocrisy is like pointing out the sky is blue.

      It's self-evident.

      He seriously referenced Investor Business Daily? Didn't they once claim Stephen Hawing would be dead if he had received care under the UK's NHS and was only alive thanks o the American health care system.

      What is this about doctors quiting if more people can be treated. If any Doctors do that they have no business being doctors in the first place. They are supposed to be about making people health before anything else.

      This attitude of leaving others to die to give yourself a better chance is pretty twisted.

      Ah yes, the same Dick Morris that ran the Clinton White House in '95 according to Stephanopolous' book. What an incestuos place D.C. is. It also amuses me that this site is set up by Clintonistas. Incestuous, indeed.
      As far as the mandates go though, they are one of the factors that drive up healthcare costs. I'm also amused by the claims of the lefties that they are trying to assert competition into healthcare. Really now? The end goal of the socialists over the next 10 years is a single-payer system; a government monopoly by any other name. Can't wait to see how much "competition" there is with a government monopoly.
      If the socialists (they stubbornly call themselves "progressives") were really concerned about competiton, they would repeal the (near) state insurance monopolies that government has created. This is a clear violation of the commerce clause. The commerce clause was originally intended to create a giant free trade zone among the states. In our upside down empire, everything not intended to be regulated ( this word simply meant to make regular in our founder's day) under the commerce clause is and eveything that should be made regular (i.e. free trade among the states) isn't.
      These state insurance monopolies ( to reiterate, created by government) don't permit individuals to purchase insurance across state lines. That the congress and the White House aren't addressing this speaks volumes about what the left really thinks about competition.
      Maybe the Obama administration is protecting some of the larger insurance companies from competiton. I have noticed advertisemnents by pharmaceutical companies in favor of "reform." What kind of backroom deals have been cut to get this "reform" coalition together? Makes me wonder.

        How amusing is it? Hillary was involved in discussions pior to its creation. Any further connection exists only in wingnut heads.

        Mandates from who, comcerning what, affecting costs how and in what amount? Repeat first question, giggle worthy, smirk worthy, do you chuckle, belly laugh, breathless laughter, to sickness?

        How many americans have to die due to lack of medical care before you get concerned by the private death panels in place today? Their profits are suffient to sustain 1.4 million a day to fight reform for months without even breathing hard. Those monoplys are a creation of the individual states not the fed gov.

        True about single payer. In use by most advanced countries today. None of which is rated as low as our system. True on a backroom deal on drugs. Not many here happy about it. We'll see if it is sustained. What are the republicans doing to correct it?

      45% almost half of the doctors is the USA would quit if there is a public option. Am I the only who thinks that sounds crazy. How can even someone on the right believe that.
