      Forget Beck stupidity for a moment and read below:

      Republicans provide a lot data that can be used against them in the next election

      If the Democrats wanted to use Republicans’ words and actions against them in the next Presidential election they would have a lifetime of data.
      You could start with the general election with Republican candidates John McCain and Sarah Palin. 98% of their campaign was attacks, criticism and negative ads. Their vision for America and policy took a back seat.
      It is a fact that most of what they accused their opponent of was falsehoods, and in many cases out-right lies. For example: There is tons of footage at lynch mob rallies of them calling a fellow American Presidential hopeful a "communist", "Marist" and "un-American". On top of that both of them sat back and did nothing while some in attendance yelled "off with his head", "kill the ni*%er" and "he is a terrorist" referring to Barack Obama (John finally said something about a week later). Since losing the Presidency to Barack Obama all they do is criticize and attack while trying to obstruct him from doing his job.
      Republicans in general have abandoned their "core principles, values and responsibility" to the American people and replaced it with out-right lies, distortion and miss-representation, and they do so with no shame and no regard to TV cameras.
      They show no interest in the well being of the American people, instead most of their time is spent attacking and criticizing the President. Republicans are proud to go on the record and state that they opposed universal affordable healthcare for the American people. Not caring or knowing how that will look in the next election. One politician, ignoring the well being of the American people, said "Healthcare will be Obama's waterloo". Meaning.. If we deny Obama a Healthcare victory his presidency will be a failure. Republicans are more interested in an Obama failure then they are about the good the welfare of the American people.
      As I said above there is plenty of data and it grows by the day. Stupidity is an on going thing with Republicans today and they are providing America with a lot of nonsense that could be used against them in the future.

          It almost sounds like Coulter is bowing deeply to China's authority.

        If the left keeps spending like they are, with China being our largest debtor, you bet they will.

      I'm a little ambivilent about the Breast Cancer thing. I got one at 41, and then waited for seven years before my next one, which showed a non-cancerous cyst which they are still watching every six months. I have at least another year of these check-ups to go through, and it is a bit unnerving (Are they really sure it isn't cancer?) It think the general guidence is fine, but if you have a history of Breast Cancer at an early age in your family, then I am sure they still recommend going in before 50. And self-exams, they might work, but the scans are so good today, they find the lumps before a woman can feel them. Even after they found my cyst, and I knew where it was, I never felt it. This whole rot about China, though is just that. Shame on Glenn.

        The risk of cancer for women ages 40-49 is 1 in 69.

        Should we risk the health of 68 women with multiple exposures to radiation and unnecessary biopsies because the breast tissue is hard to visualize in these (relatively) younger women to find the breast cancer in one woman?

        Experienced professionals in the medical field have examined the cost/benefit analysis, and have said that it's not a good pay-off.

        And for people with enhanced risk factors, they do still recommend earlier baseline mammography.

          I hadn't looked into the statistics. Thanks. I have known a few women with breast cancer and I am approaching their age. It is unnerving. But, they survived with good spirits. I really was scared last winter when they told me I had to come back for more scans. That was a miserable week, if the new guidence spares a woman that kind of grief, I think it is a good thing.

          You mean obama administration appointed people have examined the cost/benefit analysis and said that it's not a good payoff. 1 in 69 is a high liklihood. That is at least 1 person that we all know well.

        it's funny how people only hear what they want to hear in what's being said.

        The new recommendation is that women over 40 who are not "at risk" receive a mammogram every 2 years.

        Everyone just blows past the "not at risk" part of the statement. Obviously women with a history of breast cancer in their family are "at risk" and the new recommendations do not apply.

      If we are going to ration start with everyone who says there is going to be rationing being banned from getting health care. This list would be very long with right wing wacos.

      China owns only about 6% of our debt - about the same as Japan.

      Even if this fantasy were true, 6% is not enough leverage to dictate how things are done in the US.

      More of Beck's psychotic rantings.
