The Upcoming Tea Party Convention

Only thing I ever knew about Memphis was a dear friend of mine died there because her insurance company decided she was too old to warrant treatment.

Best health care system in the world!

So much for "Government Death Panels".

The Insurance run Death Panels are far more effective. Ironic too, because one thing Memphis *does* have is good hospitals. That St. Jude where they treat kids with cancer is absolutely amazing.

Odd becase Nancy had to go elsewhere but by the time the death panel changed their minds it was too late. I hope their nasty pale green souls rot in hell.

We learned, the hard way, when my father reached his nineties and started having gall bladder problems that the existing medical establishment already has it's own form of "death panels". The doctors start using the phrase, "At his age.", a LOT. Insurance companies start balking at paying claims. Even the nurses start making faces when you ask them if he's getting his medication, or if they noticed something wrong. We just couldn't help but get the feeling they were all trying to let go of him, and I believe they did. It's sad, but true.

You know, I had a conversation with one of my cousins about this. He started to say, "Well, if the federal government takes over.....". I interrupted with, "My point is that it's already being done with the system as it is. Why can't you see that? And besides aren't you one of those people who supports Tort Reform because you think it too easy for people to sue the medical industry as it is? So, what exactly would change in a world run YOUR way?" He glared at me for a second, then turned his head and walked away. Just so you have the whole picture, my cousin is a prominent businessman who has toyed with the idea of running for office--Republican, of course.

Now, if you'll pardon me, I have dog shit to scoop up.

The press is being barred from the convention floor. They're being "quarantined" in a specific part of the lobby.

Ya think the Teabaggers will eventually figure out they're being played for suckers?

John

Are you hinting that the Left wingnuts dont also get speaking fees or that they dont "quarantine" media? Cause if you are you would be wrong on both counts. If folks in media want to use grade school insults and a general pattern of comical mockery of this movement then the media should be held at arms distance................the left did it to the media and the Right plenty of times.
