That was no lady; that was Bill Clinton’s wife.
Well that sounds pretty reasonable. Here in Saskatchewan they garnish my wages to pay for other people’s health care.
So, suddenly, this just isn’t about providing health coverage for all Americans… it’s also about forcing Americans to purchase insurance regardless of their motive for not doing so.
Wake up, America.
And I thought they were called payroll deductions ……
In addition to basic provincial medical coverage, I also pay for 2nd-tier healthcare — not for myself, mind you, for my M.P., who, as a Liberal, staunchly opposes two-tier health care.
She also cried again today. If she can’t handle Americans who support/don’t support her plans, how in the world do they think she can handle the dictators of the world. Oh, she will just bring on the tears and expect them to fold.
Yesterday, I listened to all the candidates, without looking at the tv. Hillory does have a very harsh voice, and her laugh is almost maniacal. Do americans really want that voice coming into their lives everyday for the next 4 yrs.
Re the poll saying 15% of cdns would give up their ballot to vote in the US election. Is that 15% made up of draft dodgers who wish they could go home.
Far too many of the uninsured are uninsured because they chose to be. They allocate their money on other things. Cheap catastrophic health insurance is available for the young, the healthy and many of the self-employed. This is never revealed in the Dem’s rhetoric. When that get’s clearly thrown out there, no one is going to want to create for Hillary a subsidy for middle class slackers.
“Well that sounds pretty reasonable. Here in Saskatchewan they garnish my wages to pay for other people’s health care.”
You forgot to bold “other people’s health care”
p.s Garnish means to adorn, improve, or decorate which is sure as hell not what they do to my paycheck. I think they meant to say gouge, take or steal.
Mary T, that 15% are people who won’t vote in a CDN election anyway. (coz they’re all crooks, it doesn’t matter, i don’t like the choices, it won’t change my life, etc)
PJ O’Rourke: If you think healthcare is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it’s free.
Hillary: “I’ll tell you what’s good for your whether you like it or not and if you disobey my will I’ll punish you!”
Spoken like a true leftard. No one is more dangerous than someone who wants to crush your rights for your own good and done with the self-righteous certainty of their own infallibility.
I agree Penny. “Slakers” is a liberal target market. Americans will be making a choice to vote for Hilary Care or not. If they choose Hillary Care they will soon move on from Health to Day Care so that parents who are “slakers” won’t have the burden of looking after their own children.
Canadians love to hear the anecdotal stories of someone in the USA losing their house because they got a terminal illness and were not health insured. We never hear the other side of the story, that the reason they lost the house was that they made a decision to buy more house than they could really afford and so they put all their money into mortgage payments and did not have any left over for Health insurance. That can work as long as nobody gets sick. It is their choice.
What you mean “suddenly”, Mark? When Hillarycare 1.0 was released they were going to make it a federal crime to switch doctors. Called it “doctor shopping”.
Hillary is determined to have single-payer health care just like ours. Because ours is working so well, y’know. Garnished wages would be the least of it.
Since Ann Coulter came out last week and said she’d campaign for Hillary if McCain gets the Republican nomination, that should give you some idea what Johnny boy’s got in store. God help us, the governor of [shudder!] Massachusetts is the best hope for freedom.
Americans, you lot better start paying attention or your government is going to be kicking your ass. Talk to your Canadian friends, we have some experience with that. You are NOT going to like it.
She is one scary beatch! She keeps talking like that, she will be watching Obama leave her in the dust.
Garnish? Garnishee? Surely a recipe for disaster.
“… -That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, driving their just powers from the consent of the governed, -That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it…” That’s from the Declaration of Independence.
What part of Constitutional Republic doesn’t she understand?
I can’t wait for after Super Tuesday, when Republicans can finally focus on Hillary Care.
I predict a few Canadian leftists get a little upset over fair comparisons to Canada’s health care…
From Not-dead-enough Tommy’s “Mouseland” parable.
“all the little mice used to go to the ballot box and they used to elect a government. A government made up of big black fat cats.”
Fat cats! That would be me, felis corpulentis. Times were better back then. Now some of the former cats, eg. Liberal Party leaders , have actually become genetically modified fat, trough hungry mice.
Semper felis!
Can anybody find that article from the Winnipeg Free Press last Saturday about the small group of drunks that have cost several hundred thousand dollars a year to take care of?
If you havent seen it I strongly recommend it.
Never mind I found it.
This makes me sick having to pay for this crap

The Phantom – I can’t wait until voters get gobsmacked realizing that the emptiest of vessels will lead the Dem ticket if Obama wins. There hasn’t been that I can recall a more poorly defined, form over substance, candidate in my life than Obama. As time goes on, past the euphoria and the hype, surely the majority of Americans have got to notice. But, then, Hillary is so much more beatable. There are far to many of us with a visceral hatred towards that woman that the polling places would be mobbed.
Coulter’s hyperbole aside, I can’t stand McCain either. He’s been on the wrong side of every piece of Republican legislation except the WOT. But, I’d hold my nose and vote for him in a heartbeat if he is it.
Can we all say together now, “Dictator.”
Some are saying Obama is the second coming of JFK. I think both Hillary and Obama are the second coming of FDR. Get ready for the new new deal.
Not me Penny. I think the guy is damaged goods, couple fries short of a Happy Meal. There’s no telling what he would do under stress.
Hillary isn’t crazy, she’s crooked. You can predict with 100% certainty that she will do whatever is best for Hillary.
I think Canada can live through 4 years of Whatever Is Best For Hillary much more safely than 4 years of John McCain the unexploded land mine.
This reminds me of the time when Hillary declared,
“We’re going to take things away from you on behalf of the greater good”.
For those who don’t already know it ’cause the MSM won’t say it:
Hillary Clinton is a Communist. Always has been; looks to always be.
how would you spell commie? clinton, obama? we will reach the end of the road.
penny: “There hasn’t been that I can recall a more poorly defined, form over substance, candidate in my life than Obama.”
You’re probably right. But that isn’t the worse that could happen. You could have someone with both form and substance, except the form is very “charismatic” and the substance is very toxic. Then you’d have the second coming of Pierre Elliot Turdeau.
garnishee –
its quite the opposite of garnish when it comes to wages.
Phantom (re McCain): There’s no telling what he would do under stress.
Actually, you can. He was physically tortured for years by the VC, and didn’t give up anything. Gee, he doesn’t toe a party line? You mean, he’s not spineless wimp kowtowing to others? He actually thinks for himself instead of following polls? Whatta revoltin’ development!
Yeah Garnishee, that’s what I said. Your flamage doesn’t effect me. I must be fire-retarded or something.
Old joke:
Do you know why Bill Clinton cries after sex?
Answer:
Mace.

How about all of it? Mrs Clinton will decide what is best for the country and Americans. She will not be bound by some dusty old document that some old white males put in place.
I can honestly say that there has never been a worse list of POTUS wanna bees to my recollection. The true conservatives/Republicans had better come up with a viable ticket before Hillory or Oprah flush democracy down the drain.
Look on the bright side. At least Al Gore isn’t the Democratic nominee!
Isn’t there a Country song that goes “it’s cryin’ time again…..”.
Hey with Bill for a consort, who wouldn’t cry?
Texas Canuck:
What does “POTUS” mean? I’ve seen the word before. To me, it conjures up images of some slimy substance under the back porch that is undergoing a lethal fungal transformation. If that is an accurate picture, I think POTUS is a word I might use this summer as our presidential election approaches.
Texas Canuck:
Never mind. I think I figured it out. Not at all what I imagined. How on earth do these abbreviations get started anyway?
POTUS = President Of The United States
Oh damn I have to do it “garnishee”
BTW, I learned about POTUS from reading Tom Clancy 😉 I firmly believe that acronyms started with the military as a way of being efficient but the age of texting has taken it to a level this old air force wonk can’t comprehend. LOL… oops.
Electing Hillary would be a twofer. Double the trouble with one trying to make a name for herself and the other trying to make a legacy to replace his lying, fornicating do nothing presidency image.
Ms Clinton has a job as a Canadian Wheat Board Director if she ever moves to Canada.
They are not averse to taking $250000 from someone they deem does not need it, and give it to somebody that they think needs it.
In fact they brag about it, just like Ms Clinton.
Lets face it you can’t have a President going around crying all the time. She will never come close to Margret Thatcher, and she never cried or had her husband shill for her. What you need is a women with balls for president.
God help me, but I’m liking the cut of Obama’s jib (fib?) Unison. Coalition. Hope. Even if he has no substance or experience.
Hillary is brutal. Awful. Terrible. She…cries to get votes. Has she not studied Margaret Thatcher? Golda Meir?
Apart from McCain’s obvious port side lean on the rail, there’s stuff that’s gonna hit the fan about his POW experience (check Jack Wheeler’s latest article – is this guy’s info for real? Can he be trusted?)
Absolute hell is on the rise. But let’s decide not to be doomed.
This reminds me of the time when Hillary declared,
“We’re going to take things away from you on behalf of the greater good”.
Shouldn’t you confine your risible, unsubstantiated BS to your own place, Sentinel?

I have been reading Jack Wheeler for over 15 years now. His international contacts and connections within government (CIA, Pentagon, and Secret Service) make him an enjoyable read. It is certainly worth the small annual fee.

“Americans, you lot better start paying attention or your government is going to be kicking your ass. Talk to your Canadian friends, …”
There is one little difference between north and south of the border. Down here a whole lot of us hung onto our guns. In fact, a whole big bunch of us held onto a whole really big bunch of guns. Damned Red Necks just don’t take well to gettin’ our butts kicked. 😉
Our knuckles might drag on the ground, but we know how to shoot straight and live free. :-^
You know the dance.. Obama is the FINAL winner, unless he screws up, and Hillary is the runner-up (in-waiting). The DNC is now in charge.
The thing to watch is how California deals with Obama.. Could be bad news for the party if they (DNC) can’t control the Air heads. If they go big time for Hillary thats not good news for California. (CA Senator’s with empty Bacon bags)
If the final count (including Super’s) after tuesday in not in Obama’s favour.. I will be a monkey’s uncle
Well, at least it will shut them up about the “20% of Americans without any health coverage” who have CHOSEN to use that money for a new tv, dishwasher, or SUV.
