HURRAY FOR YOU, PINKFLOYD! At last someone speaks the truth, not only about Michael Moore but about the lies put forth by the Republican Party here in the USA: they are SHAMELESS! Half the time, they don't even bother to make up believeable lies, they just spew garbage in the hopes that SOME stupidos actually accept the crap as fact! GOOD JOB!

hey you know i was watching Faux News not long ago and some republican goof was on there actually saying stuff like 'in canada, politicians and bureaucrats decide if you’ll get the operation and medical procedure you need..'' blah blah blah
i mean all you can do is laugh, its so preposterous and dishonest
meanwhile the talking heads on Faux News were all nodding their heads in agreement, as if they had a clue
have you heard these clamouring idiots, the so-called 'Conservatives for Patients' Rights?' these wackjobs are clearly insane. they push complete BS about canada's healthcare system on americans all the time, just like the gibberish i heard on Faux News. little do they know or care that the health care system in canada is not run by 'government' but is run by but by doctors who are able to treat everyone, rich or poor; but instead of telling the truth they just use cheap politcal scare tactics and propaganda to push their agenda
they say canadians fall all over each other rushing to the USA for healthcare we 'can't get' here, and that we cannot choose our doctors, and we get 'assigned' them by the government. this is laughable in its stupidity and dishonesty. ive lived in Canada my whole life. neither I, anyone in my family, any relative nor any neighbour or friend ive ever known has ever gone to the U.S. for health care. ever. really, why would we? there is no waiting to see a GP in canada; i can call my doc's office and make an appt and see him later the same day, if i want to. and all i need is my health card, not my visa card. the doc then checks my pulse, not my wallet
or, i can go to a walk-in clinic, anytime, and be seen immediately. and, I choose my doctor. ive had the same one for decades. if I am not happy with him/her, I can go get another. no 'bureaucrat' or politician or government civil servant tells me what doctor to pick, or 'assigns' me one, or tells me where to have a procedure done, or what hospital or clinic to go to
sure, there is generally a wait time to see specialists, but that has more to do with the number of specialists, not with the healthcare system, per se. the system isn't perfect by any means, but it sure beats the U.S. one, where they say about 50 million people have no health coverage at all, and millions more are denied coverage even if they do have it, for 'pre-existing conditions' (that eat into corporate profits, of course)
is Canada's system perfect? no, probably not. but do canadians know that getting seriously ill or injured will not bankrupt them and wipe out their life savings or cost them their house? hell, yes, and we know that whatever happens to us, and however much money you have, or don't have, you will be looked after. no one has any doubt about that
and that generally makes for a happy populace

ok, so i am, i guess, supposed to 'tolerate' republican BS, outright dishonesty and lies about the healthcare system in MY country, hey?? is that the game? no, i prefer to call it out for the pure unadulterated BS it is, and laugh at it for how stupid it is, while being in disbelief that anyone would be dumb enough to actually believe it, or try and defend it...but thanks all the same though!
i mean, believe what you want, and defend those that ram this crap and nonsense down your throat all you want, but in the end.. if you choose to unquestionaly believe abject bullsh*t, that's your problem, not mine ..
if these conservative and republican liars would only tell the truth about Canada's health care system, of which I and Canadians know about and are familiar with, they'd earn our tolerance. ..and respect. as it stands though, when they spew outright BS as part of a political agenda obviously designed to fill peoples heads with misinformation and corporations wallets with ca$h, whether people know enough to believe it or not, they earn nothing but scorn and ridicule ..and our laughter
hows that for tolerant enough for ya?

Don't worry. The support for Mitt Romney is little but none outside the United States. The tracks of Bush JR affrightens. And Mitt's journey to Europe was a shambles. He did nothing right. Even far right-wingers overhere supports Obama - although he hasn't made much of an impression. The alternative is unthinkable from a geopolitic standpoint. Too many risks involved.

Take a little time and read this article about Ted's take on how to stop group massacres, such as the one that took place in Colorado. His answer to violence : give everyone a gun and let everyone shoot it out, and let God sort it out later.
This nut case could carry a gun on stage and start shooting at anything that sounded explosive, even a speaker that blew up. Keep this moron at least ten miles from me and my family.
He also appears ignorant (he can't spell cat).

I think the support for Mitt 'outside' the US is a bit of a moot point. It's really whether or not he as support within the US that will be important.
That affrightens me....or something.
Politics has nothing to do with that. She's hot no matter what side of the political spectrum she sits on.Quote

..while on the subject of SHAMEFUl, it is liberal celebritys like idiot Russell Brand who says - and gets away with -- "People want to F*** Sarah Palin"
There are extreme cases on boths sides of the poitical fence. Behar is one. Michael Savage another. As long as this us against them mentality exists, nothing will ever get done in this country, or anywhere for that matter.Quote
mickscarey
Or Joy Behar, who "would like to burn Romney's house down"
And get's away with it. Imgaine a conservative actor saying "I would like to burn the WHote house down while no-bama was in it" . Bunch of phonies you all.

its funny watching this because as soon as you see the words "ted nugent" you know you're gonna get a bunch of people saying"he's an idiot,a moron,a total nitwit "
and then the entire thread will be filled with some of the most thought provoking information and ideas...ted is a bit of a dumbass but its strange how he brings all of that stuff out in the open.

Yes, Treacles. But there is a world outside the US too. And the world outside the US don't want another Iraqi war. Or any war at all. We have enough with bad leadership from poltroons such as Putin in Russia and mad theocratic dictatorships in the Middle East. And we ceertainly don't want another cold war.
