You call that a "bitch slap", really? Krugman called Will out on his bad analogy.

I watched it. Only a simplistic idiot would see it the way you did, Poof.

If the shoe fits……

Sorry, I am a conservative but that was no "bitch slap," Krugman deflected it nicely. If anyone looked weak it was phony conservative George Will when he admitted that you cannot do health care piecemeal but it has to be part of a more comprehensive program

Krugman got a Nobel Prize, which is really a Useful Idiot Prize. He is a keynesian who believes that government creates wealth. The stupidest person ever to be called "economist".

Imaginary friends I'm sure.

Same show, I think, conservative extremist/Bush appointee,Cokie Roberts says Dems should, and will pass health care reform because AMERICAN'S WANT IT!

No, and the polls and surveys clearly show they don't want what you're peddling. They want the costs to come back down to what they can afford, not what a gigantic insurance corporation or the government can afford.

Your plan is just a prescription for feeding greed and finishing off the system entirely, but you know that very well because like every other liberal out there, you're shallow and have very little empathy for others. As long as you feel like you win, you don't care what the damage is.

the 58% that will be mad if something doesnt pass has got to be the stupidest poll in weeks….. who DOESNT want SOMETHING passed. i know i do! i want to be able to buy my insurance in nebraska or nevada or wisconsin. wherever its best and cheapest. i also want to make sure lawsuits against doctors benefit the people HURT not JUST the lawyers.

Except their Medicare.

Come on Cokie is an extreme Left wing liberal, always has been.

So now you even wish ill on YOUR FRIENDS and THEIR children?

You really are a piece of filth, you sadistic STD.

Just out of curiousity. I only ask because I'm interested in your response, not because I think it'll be right or anything, but maybe humorous.

You are a liberal/leftist. If Roberts is an "extreme conservative", how do you explain that he agrees with you on this major issue, but is a polar opposite from you?

Yes, until you lose yours. You people are simply selfish turds.

The most important item spoken by Will (and not refuted by Krugman) is that 20 years from now we will be spending more on healthcare than ever. In fact, if you look at the Bureau of Economic Analysis data, spending on health, food, clothing & housing (as a % of GDP) has NOT CHANGED significantly over the last 80 years. Government interference/regulation and cost shifting (from Medicare patients to private insurance) is driving up costs for those under 65 , but the fundamental error in the discussion about health care is that cost are spiraling out of control. They CAN'T… you can only ever consume what you produce. We just love health care in America and therefore we spend more on it and less on food & clothing. Ironically, spending on recreation has increased 78% (as a % of GDP) over the last 50 years – where is the OUTCRY!?

As far as accuracy, the language I quoted was colorful and not entirely inaccurate. Maybe it's because I did my taxes today and felt like "bitch slapping" someone myself! Heh.

And you will notice, proof, that I asked you a question. Try to pay attention.

Cokie Roberts is a female, and a Bush appointee. But, we agree, because we can both read the political winds. She is one of the rare right-wingers that can see beyond her ideological blinders and admit when her views are out of touch with main stream America (which I am a part of).

Ignoring the extreme right-wing trolls is a good tactic. Paul did the right thing.

"Cokie Roberts is a senior news analyst for NPR News" http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?stor… , Cokie Roberts is the fourth child and youngest daughter of former ambassador and long-time Democratic Congresswoman from Louisiana Lindy Boggs and of the late Hale Boggs, also a Democratic Congressman from Louisiana who was Majority Leader of the House of Representatives. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cokie_Roberts

Can you cite any conservative policy positions she has taken?

GOPLESS is incredibly stupid. Does he remind you of someone?

New headline …………..

"PROOF BITCH SLAPS THE CRAP OUT OF 'I'M TOO STUPID TO BE IN THE GOP'

its the shits when your corrected with the facts

good job Proof

A conservative who has to keep telling people "I am a Conservative", lol!

Are you part of the McCain family tree?

But convince us that you are a conservative.

Please, oh please!

Say it one more time. Post it one more time.

Arguing for accuracy is not repeating something out of context, Mr. "I am a Conservative".

He probably read somewhere that she'd been appointed by Bush to something or another and did the liberal long jump to the conclusion that she was a "conservative".

Bush invited Teddy Kennedy to the White House once. Look for "Right Winger Kills Girl in Car" headlines from IDLTGOP any second now!

What game are you playing? Whatever it is, it is an idiots game!

Dino said in a comment below that he thought I was sounding more liberal lately and in correcting that misconception, I made it clear that it may sound that way because I was not an ideologue, but beyond that in fact, I was truly a conservative. How else could I respond to his charge of liberalism without affirming my conservative beliefs?

You have a serious mental problem! Or you cannot read or you just did not bother to read the comments which caused my response. No matter what, your outburst is the sign of a very disturbed mind!

Pot kettle blac, DINO=Moron.

Still waiting for the Idiot Rejected by today's GOP to provide me with some of Cokie Roberts' conservative positions. Wonder if there's a reason for that?

That's nonsense.

She's a far right ideologue, but can see beyond her ideology?

I knew your response would be stupid. But that's special beyond what I expected.
