Olympia knows her "Public Option" Failed in Maine so allowing it on a larger scale means she's really stupid.

Obama care modeled after Maine's failed "public option"

Hawaii, Oregon, Massachusetts, Tennessee and Maine have all created some version of government takeover or administration of health care, and all are a mess.

Hawaii's Prepaid Healthcare Act and its coverage mandates have left Hawaiians with fewer coverage choices, higher costs and nearly double the number of uninsured. Recent budget cuts resulted in discontinuation of its coverage for children.

Oregon's state-controlled care includes an official list that dictates what treatments will be covered based on annual budget constraints. If your disease is above the treatment line, you are covered. Below the line — you're not.

However, patients being denied treatment often receive an additional note in their denial letters — the system telling them it will pay for "physician aid in dying." Oregon won't help you live, but it will help you die.

In the three years since the Massachusetts "universal" coverage plan was launched, the state still has thousands of uninsured, costs have exploded to unsustainable levels, and waiting lists for treatments have appeared.

Tennessee's "TennCare" program, an attempt to expand coverage to low-income uninsured, included dead people, escaped felons and NBA stars. It drove doctors and insurers out of the state, and has been on the brink of insolvency several times.

Tennessee's Democrat governor, Phil Bredesen, recently went to Washington, D.C., to explain to Congress that government health care does not lower cost.

We need to call the Orkin man, the GOP is infested with nests of RINO's.

Repel them, and maybe they'll go where they belong; the DNC.

I wish Snow would switch parties. It is impossible to depend on her for a consistent position. She is one of those "I voted for it before I voted against it" types.

And I'd say that republicans need to run faux democrats in elections to draw votes from other democrats running....much like in NJ...a third party...is sucking votes from Christie and will surely assure the Taxer, Corzine another term.

It will happen in many races....Rahm Emanuel's dirty business. Suggest repubs need to start putting other demoncrats up for election thereby diluting democrat votes.

This country can not afford to have more democrat elected. Your freedoms are doomed. Look to England. They are strangling the populace. They have microchips in trash bins so the government can tax you on the weight of your trash, garbage. They have eliminated incandescent lightbulbs. It's insane in England. Don't let it happen in the USA. The democrats seek to control.

Reclaim your life, the lives of your children and grandchildren, don't let the democrats tax and control your life.

snow needs to do something about the mess her state is in. They have spent 40 million dollars on 17 wind turbines that doesnt provide any jobs for Mainers. Mainecare is broke, doctors are having to go out of business they are refusing medication to the elderly. And the head of medicare in Maine makes 56 thousand dollars an hour, I did the math.

Me too! I rationalized that I was voting for the lesser of two evils, and at least in that I was certainly right!

Time for stanky azz to go to the Dem side. Only true Republicans need apply. Even if it is in minority. There is nothing to lose. These men and women have bulllshiiitted us for over three decades. Half azz repubs who do the progressive bidding. We the suckas. We the losers. And that includes the Democrat voters. For when this era is over, there will be tyranny in every corner of this nation. and it will take brave men and women to begin the process of freedom again.

Fear is the tool used to keep the NWO train on the tracks.

The claim that a third party cannot rise and replace one of the 2 parties is a lie.

What! She's not "Michele Bachman" enough for you. I suppose you have the same opinion of Linsdy Grahamm? Do you have to be a Rush Limbough Republican to be called a ligitamate republican?

Pretty much. Democrat is the party of Liberals and Socialists, Republicans are SUPPOSED to be the opposition - Conservatives and Libertarians.

You tell me the difference between Olympia Snowe and a Democrat.

Daily Horoscope for December 10

Leo

Be choosy about who you spend time with today. If you're with someone who's habitually miserable or sorry for themselves, you'll soon be dragged down to their level and will struggle to recover again. However, you may feel such sympathy for their plight that you don't see you have any choice but to be with them. If so, do your best to remain positive.
