      If these people would have been this concerned when the Bush Administration was implementing the tax break for the wealthiest of our country we wouldn't even be having this stinking argument. We lost 1.5 to 2 trillion dollars of tax revenue in this one tax break alone. By the way - does anyone know where all that money ended up - I thought it was supposed to be reinvested in our country to spur economic growth and to offset costs of employee benefit programs such as health care.

      HMM??

        Sorry, but the far right only gets bent out of shape with Democratic behavior. Anything Bush did was just fine with them no matter how disgusting the behavior. Now, Hannity and his cohorts just show how stupid they are. Anyway, the facts about Mammograms and what the recommendation really was seems to escape these guys or they are just covering up the behavior of Bush, etc. Also, during the last three administrations this same group made these same recommendations. Amazing how bent out of shape these guys are when in fact, their guy Bush got the same recommendation. Then on another moral issue, Bush also had to make a decision about poor treatment of POWs. Unfortunately for future American POWs captured by our enemies, there is the moral equivalence saying that Americans could be treated the same way that we treated our POWs and then we would have NO moral authority to object. And, Hasselback, Hannity, Beck, et al can then take responsibility for not pushing the moral response to the Bush administration's decision to torture POWs in our custody.

      FOX: This panel's findings will be used as guidelines that the government will use to refuse yearly mammograms for women under 50 years old. This is only a preview of the horror that is to come, as the government will ration healthcare, even to those who desperately need it. There will essentially be mass murder by our government everywhere you look.

      Reality: The panel basically says "hey we found that in the majority of women yearly exams aren't necessary until 40 years old. Your call though, whatever."

      That is exactly what it is. The great irony in the whole thing is that the same people that can't even time the release of a 'study' that may be construed as rationing when such talk is so prevalent, think they can run health care.
