Ah, yesssss. Yet ANOTHER "fair" primary.

Just needing to vent and network with people who are taking care of an elderly parent. This is going on my second year, and while I have 4 other siblings, I am the only one taking care of her. She had several strokes and is bedridden for the most part. She has recovered somewhat from the stroke but still not walking, but the dementia comes and goes. Sometimes she does not know who I am and calls me one of her sisters, and when I try to correct her, she would say "well that's what the o ...

Wow....instead of working together with the President of the United States on improving our country, doing the peoples' work, and trying to be fair to all Americans, the GOP members of Congress chose making Obama a one-term president as their #1 goal. All those hours working on obstruction, all those missed opportunities to do good things for this country, all that money down the drain. I would grade that a "Major Fail" of their #1 goal. ...

This is only the beginning. HA!! ...

The advice and comments I have received from all of you are priceless. I think I will start finding ways to decrease the 10,000 and work on trying to get her in a nursing home. The advice on how to talk to a dementia person, OMG thanks so much. I always try to correct her and try to get her to understand and sometimes I think it is making her not like me. I will from now on agree with what ever she says, in order to have peace in the home. Once again, thank all of you. I feel a whole lot be ...

when they admitted on page 2 of the linked NYT article it wasn't likely the IRS "targeting" of conservative groups was politically motivated. Senator Roy Blunt R-MO, up for re-election in 2016, and Rep Charles Boustany R-LA were wise to wait until an extended holiday slow-news cycle to make the admission. That way, it might get drowned out by all the celebratory fireworks and gunshots, both intentional and accidental, that produced fatalities and injuries, some of whom were ...

From the NY Times WASHINGTON — For the past two years, Republican senators facing re-election have very deliberately spent millions of dollars, hired multiple consultants and cast scores of conservative votes with one goal in mind: avoiding the embarrassing primary conflagrations that befell their party in 2010 and 2012 and cost Republicans a chance at taking back the Senate.

This isn't a comment about the GOP. I have little doubt that primaries on the other side are run just as....(ahem!) informally. UTAH CAUCUS: First hand insider report - Incompetence, Manipulation, and Ballot Stuffing!!!Just got back from my caucus... My head is still spinning.Check in was slow but reasonably controlled. Super-long lines. I've never seen turnout like this.Got my credentials, but no presidential ballot. They said those would be delivered to our caucus room.Got to ...

Here's an article about profiteers trying to buy doctor groups to "get control of their patient base and leverage those patients." I believe the model was transcription companies -- the idea was to round them up (Rodeer, anyone?) get control of the hospital accounts and leverage the MTs into accepting less and less. It worked on the little women so why not expand to credentialed men? ...

responding to a 2008 Physicians Foundation Survey, about half stated they would consider leaving medicine. A CNN report summarizing the findings stated that “many [primary care physicians] said they are overwhelmed with their practices, not because they have too many patients, but because there’s too much red tape generated from insurance companies and government agencies.”[2] In response, one would have expected that policymakers, when assessing the merits of a proposed healthcare ...

Dems will crush Dave Brat. But on another note, looks like talking out of both side of the mouth didn't work for Cantor. ...

Reports say he suffered a fall of some sort. The primary was so close that an official winner has still not been declared. Not sure what they do now...declare Aiken the winner (preliminary results had him leading by fewer than 400 votes), or have a runoff between him and the other trailing candidate. ...

physician, the doctor — not insurance companies or government regulators — sets his own rates. His patients pay a monthly fee for unlimited access to office visits and free in-office testing and procedures. And getting rid of the middleman cuts patient costs as much as 50 percent. Savage told Watchdog.org he adopted the DPC model after 12 years of traditional practice so he could focus on his patients instead of bureaucracy. “I wanted to work in a system that facilitated being a qu ...

From Us News, 09/27/2012. Article by Peter Roff: "Obama Supporters' Dirty Tricks to Win the Catholic Vote" "On Wednesday Hudson also revealed that a group calling itself Catholics for Obama had been making push poll phone calls in support of the president's re-election bid. Among the questions being asked, he said, was "How can you support a 'Mormon' who does not believe in Jesus Christ?" The phone banker making the call, which in this case went to a woman Hudson identifi ...

1. Sheryl Crow on Environmentalism: "I propose a limitation be put on how many sqares [sic] of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting. Now, I don't want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required.'" 2. Joe Biden on culturalism: "In Delaware, the largest growth of popul ...

Why the story of Obama having to bus crowds in for the convention (I wouldn't want to see him either), is an AP story but is not being reported on any of the Lamestream? Can you tell me that? P.S. Then you can tell George S that the media is so biased. ...

I sent you an email, if you care to read it. ...

tax rate than the middle class. "According to new data from the IRS, people who make $1 million or more had an average tax rate of 20.4 percent in 2010. Tax filers who earned $30,000 to $50,000 paid an average rate of 4.8 percent, while those who made between $50,000 and $100,000 paid 7.7 percent. Those making under $30,000 had a negative effective rate, meaning they paid no federal income taxes after deductions and credits. "Put another way, millionaires pay a rate that’s more than ...

By GRETCHEN MORGENSON Published: July 16, 2010 KUDOS to the Federal Housing Finance Agency, overseer of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the crippled mortgage finance giants. While some in Washington have continued to coddle the big banks even after they drove our economy into the ditch, this agency seems serious about recovering money for taxpayers by holding bad financial actors to account. The agency announced last Monday that it had issued 64 subpoenas to a throng of unidentified financial ser ...

people in Libya. Muammar Khadafi's army was on its way across the desert, promising to "exterminate" the people of Benghazi. The trick was to prevent the genocide without ending up "owning" the conflict there. He did such a good job that the "world" never knew we did anything worth noting. (That seems to be his style. We've been attacking Iran for some time, but our soldiers are computer hackers and economists. And? :) http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/2012/10/michael-lewis-pr ...

on both sides at all levels condemning and apologizing for disgusting conduct at a public event. What fascinates me is how he could be so dsconnected from common culture that he wouldn't realize this behavior would ruin his career. This ban is only the first of many on the rodeo circuit. Some in the crowd did cheer him as he ran around in an Obama mask with a broomstick attached to his rear. "Hey, I know I'm a clown. He just running around acting like one, doesn't ...

Well then, she should be asked to disclose all info about Trig's birth too Sarah Palin declared on Thursday that the legitimacy of President Obama's birth certificate is "rightfully" an issue with the American public, and that it is "fair game" for politicians to question Obama's citizenship. The comments came during an interview with conservative radio host Rusty Humphries, who asked Palin whether she planned to "make the birth certificate an issue" if she runs for ...

The question, MARCO, is whether you think it was a mistake to go to war in Iraq. Not, whether you think it was a mistaken judgment on the part of Pres. Bush to go to war. We want to know if you think it w a mistake! 1. Would you have decided to go to war based on things at the time. 2. In retrospect, was it a mistake (having found out different information, watching the Iraq's development, ISIS, etc.)? I guess the problem with this is that if they sa ...

the people who hold them are getting wage cuts instead of increases. We're ALL in trouble. From the Washington Post: "The stagnation of wages has become an accepted fact across the political spectrum; conservative columnists such as Michael Gerson and David Brooks have acknowledged that workers’ incomes seem to be stuck." "Defenders of right-to-work laws argue that they improve a state’s economy by creating more jobs. But an exhaustive study by economist Lo ...

Ah, yesssss. Yet ANOTHER "fair" primary.

I live in a small town in CA, and it happened here. - Residents are outraged! NM

No voting machines in my small town - it was - all done by hand. Even the - sm
