Free health care for Everyone! Ya right!

Sounds like that is kind of a racial suggestion in your article to me!

We don’t send our service men & women off to Iraq for gold or colonial conquests. We do it to give others the hope for freedom!  We need to pull behind these remarkable heros who serve. GW Bush has not been able to get that message out for whatever reasons. The reality of Islamic jihadism is unfortunately real.

Billy bob, Interesting how you can read racism into what Rob said. AND ignore what Rev. Wright said.

ZZ,we are behind the remarkable heroes who serve each and every day and are put in harm’s way.  We’re just not in favor of the policy and the president who put them in harm’s way.  Bush got his message out and the public doesn’t believe him any longer and want their remarkable heroes home safe and sound.

IF you stood behind these remarkable heros who serve in Iraq you would appreciate what they have done to bring Freedom & Democracy in the area.  AND get passed partisan based bias. Congress and the UN were with GW Bush like it or not.

You know, I’m personally disappointed to see a class act like Taylor on this show.....for reference, this likely Hall of Fame player was homeschooled in his high school years, too.

Dunno what his real politics are--he seemed to be cracking a joke.

I was actually homechooled until my sophomore year in high school. It looks to me that he might have been cracking a joke but who knows. We know that Obama is claiming all of those things including lowering taxes on the middle class.  We all know that will not happen.

A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers.

IF he was cracking a joke, I hope you all will forgive me for not finding much humor in what he said.

Actually, I don’t know that it’s that offensive.  Who wouldn’t want free health care--absent other consequences?  Who doesn’t want our troops home from Iraq?

The only reason we pay for health care, and willingly commit the lives of brave men in war, is because the alternatives are worse, no?

Yes, it sounds an awful lot like Democrat rhetoric, and that’s the genius of his joke; Democrat rhetoric sounds an awful lot like that line from “‘cause I’m a blonde”

Hi, my name’s Buffy, and I’m a fourth year freshman at UCLA, and I want to become a veterinarian because I LOVE children.

But that said, I don’t know that MY wife would appreciate it if I suggested that it was a good idea for me to go dancing suggestively with scantily clad ladies on national TV.  Hence, I am disappointed in his judgment.

Hey, don’t knock Jason, he is HOT!!!

Free health care is not free! It would be wonderful IF we lived in a perfect world. It would be fabulous IF alqaeda and Islamic jihadist did not exist. Our troops are doing a job and doing it very well. Gasoline is going to only get more expensive IF the Dems have their way and start taxing it. JT is very handsome.

Yeah zz our troops are doing a great job, too bad the Iraqi government is taking advantage of them and not getting their work done so more of our heroes are getting killed.

Too bad the world is not the tidy, wrapped in colorful ribbons place most people might prefer. To blame the Iraqi government is not helpful and runs contrary to many of the known facts. Could they do better? Sure! Hell they could be damn near perfect, but considering our messy government here, I would be slow to criticize a government trying to come out of hell under a mad man and plagued by religious hatreds, considering where they were and where they are, they are doing pretty well.

Our soldiers are getting killed because war is a damn messy business, it is the nature of the beast.

This country and this world would have a better chance if all the doom and gloom, the glass is half empty people would calm the hell down. The American economy is strong, albeit facing daily crisis; the war in Iraq is going very well, though not perfectly; the price of gasoline is high, but with a little work would go way tomorrow - also what is the worst thing that can happen with these high prices, this summer we can stay home and spend time with our families - oh the horror. But, I am pissing against the wind here, people just like to feel bad and think the sky is falling.

I hate the idea of President Obama and a more powerful Socialist-Democratic controlled Congress; but, short of a global catastrophe, there are limits to how bad they can make things and knowing that bunch of America haters, four years from now people will be screaming to get Republicans back in charge.

None of the above was personal Puzzlefeet, I am just using your comments to make some general musings.

No matter the age or state of health, for a military man it is always glorious to tilt at windmills, rescue a fair Dulcinea and be a gallant knight in armor in a glorious cause.

Hell, Neiman,I ain’t expecting no ribbons in Iraq, but you can’t tell me with a straight face that they are doing what needs to be done there to own their government.  Why should they?  We’re there.

Calm the hell down, you say! Ha! I don’t think we’re even mad enough or tough enough on the Iraqi government.  Our troops are being attacked every day, and you say war is messy.  It is their government, why don’t they make the decisions that need to be made. The government in Iraq is in a sorry state and our warriors are paying the price for their lackadaisacal meandering of government operation.

Puzzlefeet: I respect your views and your right to express the, I simply disagree with them.

I said all the naysayers should calm down, not that we should not ‘take names and kick butt’ among the Iraqi leadership.

I will end with this: The world is not a tidy place, never was and never will be; and Iraq, like most governments after war are even less tidy. Just think about MacArthur and his dictatorial rule in Japan for years until Japan got their footing and built a great nation. Same with Germany!

No matter the age or state of health, for a military man it is always glorious to tilt at windmills, rescue a fair Dulcinea and be a gallant knight in armor in a glorious cause.

... Not unlike the reasons given for voting for Barack by countless mindless, swooning 20-somethings across the Republic.

"Here lies, in honored glory, an American soldier, known but to God.”

The stakes are high. Whether the issue is the economy, or energy, or the federal courts or national security, the right answers are coming not from the Democrats, but from the Republicans. The surge of operations that began a year ago is succeeding. The only way to lose this fight is to quit. Richard M. Cheney, Vice President, 30 May, 2008

Not exactly. Jason actually can dance and he is far better looking. LOL.
