Will the voters remember come 2010? Or will they get a pass on their behavior like Obama does? Peggy Sue, do you think it will hurt the “weasels” who couldn’t find the guts to face their constituents? Will the voters remember come 2010?

The Council is the brain child of former Health and Human Services Secretary Nominee Tom Daschle.

One of its most prominent members is none other than Dr. Death himself Ezekiel Emanuel. Dr. Emanuel's views on care of the elderly should frighten anyone who is or ever plans on being old. He explains the logic behind his discriminatory views on elderly care as follows: <blockquote>Unlike allocation by sex or race, allocation by age is not invidious discrimination; every person lives through different life stages rather than being a single age. Even if 25-year-olds receive priority over 65-year-olds, everyone who is 65 years now was previously 25 years.</blockquote> <blockquote>On average 25-year-olds require very few medical services. If they are to get the lion's share of the treatment, then those 65 and over can expect very little care. Dr. Emanuel's views on saving money on medical care are simple: don't provide any medical care. The loosely worded provisions in H.R 1 give him and his Council increasing power to push such recommendations.</blockquote> Daschle's stated purpose (and therefore President Obama's purpose) for creating the Council is to empower an unelected bureaucracy to make the hard decisions about health care rationing that elected politicians are politically unable to make. The end result is to slow costly medical advancement and consumption. Daschle argues that Americans ought to be more like Europeans who passively accept "hopeless diagnoses."</blockquote> http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/08/death_panel_is_not_in_the_bill.html OMG but did the sleeping giant know this?

‘Death panel’ is not in the bill… it already exists

I believe it was comedian David Frye, doing his impersonation of Richard Nixon, who said that: <blockquote>“As commander in chief, I’m responsible,” David Frye once said, doing his impression of Richard Nixon during the height of the Watergate scandal. “But I’m not to blame. Let me explain the difference: People who are to blame go to jail. People who are responsible do not.”</blockquote> http://www.weblog.keepthejointrunning.com/wordpress/?p=913 Hi TEX.

Politicians are all so drunk with their own power. Both parties. If they were forced to spend more time with their constituents maybe they would act like the "representatives" they are supposed to be. I love your idea.

Of course, there is no justification for voting for a man with no record. I knew I could never vote for BO because I investigated his record, at the beginning of the primary, as well as the pasts of his advisors. Ask me anything: Samantha Power and invading Israel to unilaterally establish a Palestinian state; state funds to Robert Blackwell's Killerspin and Blackwell's contributions to his campaign; no student loans on his income tax forms during those years MO claimed they were poor paying off student loans... No, what I meant was this. Although hiding his record did not prevent his ascension to the Oval Office; even those people evidently unbothered by the fact he tried to cover his tracks would be bothered if convinced he really is not a NBC. And I believe, using his words, I can now make that argument. I am so sorry you misunderstand me. Of course, there is no justification for voting for a man with no record.
