      As opposed to the drug addled, welfare check cashing, college dropout radio host, which is the sob story of the twentieth century.

      This is so compelling. Rush makes fun of the Dems for pulling at the heart strings of America instead of actually debating or trying to get something done at this summit and MMFA wants to make the story about him. Instead of this sham of a summit.

        As opposed to the publikuns playing on the fears of America, especially the senior citizens about the Government created "death panals" and how the government is going to cut out medicare?

        It's only a sham of a summit because Republicans will be exposed as obstructionists by their own words, and they don't like it.

        With most of the GOP (and especially the pundits) who try to claim that there is no health crisis in America, how else are you going to get them to understand that there is.

        Citing statistics can be misleading and mind numbing. Hearing personal stories are real.

        If know that these practicies of recission and denial of procedures are real and exist and feel that there is nothing we can do about it or should do about it, then you truly deserve being demonize.

        You know, I heard about Tommy, but had not seen you at work. LOL!!!!!!

        They weren't wrong! LOL!!!!!

        Do you know what it means to debate an issue? I'm not talking about the screaming matches that Fox is so famous for . . . I'm talking about DEBATE. In order to debate an issue, both parties must have the ability to argue both sides of an issue both pro and con. I'm a conservative and all I've seen the Republicans do is act like a bunch of A**HOLES. They lost, rightfully, after running our country into the dirt and now they are acting like small, very, very small, children.

        A hint, Tommy boy, just because someone has an R in the ( ) doesn't mean that they are conservative. And, just because Rush or Beck or one of the other Fox/hate talk radio crew says something, doesn't mean it's "conservative." If you believe that it does, you are no conservative.

        Thanks for the laughs today. Every time I see your name on a post, I burst out with a giggle. You're really entertaining.

        Rush makes fun of health care reform and victims of a broken system, instead of actually debating with anyone* with an opposing point of view or trying to get something done.

        *Actually, he allowed in a caller the other day, but then, of course, Limbaugh cut even him off.

      Oh, right, poor people don't exist for people like you Rush. They're made up to sell a view point. And since you are a big fat multi-millionaire who can get just about anything you wants because you can pay for it, you think that everyone else can to, or they are just faking to get free stuff. Unfortunately, I have no problem believing that someone would wear a dead person's dentures because they couldn't afford to them for themselves. Many people have excellent health care, other people have none, or they have inadequate care. That is what the President is trying to fix.

      This from a man who spent weeks begging for sympathy when he wasn't allowed to purchase a football team.

      All my best wishes to the future ex-Mrs. Limbaugh on what I hope will be a mind bogglingly huge divorce settlement.

      Yes we all must submit to the will and tender mercies of our coroprate masters. Hail the Republic! The United States of Corporate America. Where some by accident of birth, have nothing. And others, equally by accident of birth, have plenty. And so many of the have-nots are so happy to be the lap-dogs of the haves. You know who you are.

      I think both Rush and tommy make really excellent points. Instead of whining, the woman in question here should just be thankful that she lives in a country that is compassionate enough to allow her to use her dead sister's dentures. Most of the other countries (i.e., SOCIALISTS) would make it illegal and threaten to put her in prison! And then what have you got? Dead people with better teeth than the living! And that is what progressives are all about!

      Hey tommy bro,

      Question for you: Is this thing today a sham of a summit? Or a summit of a sham? Or, could it be a hamlet of a skivvy? The possibilities are endless, bro!

      That story is such a crock. Ever hear of Medicare? She could have dentures if she wanted to. Instead of facts, the libs are using sob stories.

        Hey Big Government Liberal Who Shoves Medicare Down Our Throats:

        Do you not read? She HAS dentures. Got it? She DOES NOT need help from some bloated government bureaucracy.

        What part of "has dentures" do you not understand, Lib?

          Considering way more than 3,000 people have been killed by lack of health insurance, by the troll's definition invoking 9/11 is even more of a sob story. I guess Republicans are SOL.

        Unless you find a Medicare Advantage plan that is available in your area that has dental coverage enough to pay for dentures, no, she couldn't just get them if she wanted to. I am going to be fortunate enough to get a portion of my dentures paid for by my Medicare Advantage plan - but I still have to come up with half of the bill, and that on SSDI. It will cost me roughly what my monthly benefit amount is, and I used to make a LOT of money before my car accident.

      Republicans only respond to FAKE apocryphal tales, such as the welfare queen who pulls up in a limo to collect her checks and how the ESTATE tax has ruined so many family farms.

      REAL stories of REAL people are unfair, but manufactured tales designed to create outrage are totally valid in GOP loon land.
