Nothing but lib-spun - HATE, HATE, HATE
[ In Reply To ..]Just keeps showing your true nature. "Swirl" this "around in your oropharynx" hate perpetrators. Commander of Whiners spending BILLIONS on failed green companies, policies. Commander of Whiners depriving thousands of work by denying the pipeline, Commander of Apology bowing and scraping to foreign leaders, Commander of No Common Sense increasing national debt by more than 5-trill in 3 years, Commander Inept not having a budget for over 1050 days. Yeah, we all get you hate any Republican. So how's that hate along with the hope and change working out for you? Commander of Whinters and "war criminal" "exceeded cutoff" term for destroying our economy "paid for by people struggling to pay rent".
Add all Obama criminal policies and you could have paid for everybody's transplant. Keep spewing the hate, leave out facts as usual.
Obviously have to defer - Cruckles
[ In Reply To ..]***. However your post was not really responsive to the issue of taxpayers paying for millionaire 30 to 50 times over war criminal's heart transplant way past normal cutoff age. When cornered, you revert to spraying innocent bystanders with random misinformed opinions of our beloved president's actions to IMPROVE the lives of American citizens. Please. ***
Everybody hates Cheney. - me

Exactly....and this particular LIBERAL hatred - is truly digusting and shameful.
[ In Reply To ..]It is best to ignore them, since they will never listen anyway. Cheney waited 20 months for this heart, while most wait a year or less... so he waited his turn. Haters will always be haters...and sickening sad human beings they are.
20 months is a very short wait and most people don't...sm - oldtimer
[ In Reply To ..]survive on the waiting list that long. Cheney was lucky in that he was over the age recommendations and had government insurance and personal resourses to carry him over with an external ventricular assist device until a transplant was available.
What?! WRONG. Most people wait a year. nm - CHENEY DID NOTHING WRONG.NM

[ In Reply To ..]Cheney did nothing illegal. That is a far cry from doing nothing wrong. since the rich white guys write the laws (as directed by their corporate bosses) one can hardly consider our legal system fair and balanced.
Referring to the heart surgery, but you must stray - as usual into something else. nm
[ In Reply To ..]nm
So tell me... - what if
[ In Reply To ..]What is the cut off dollar rate you think someone should make to consider getting a transplant "wrong". 50K, 250K. I'd like to know what you think would be a fair amount that if someone makes under that it's okay for them to get a transplant and if you make over that amount it's "wrong" for you to get a transplant.
Here are some things to think about.
1. Mr. Cheney waited the appropriate amount of time and in fact he waited longer than others on the list.
2. Nobody knows if our tax money paid for his HT, which I've heard it didn't, so in that case its nobody's business.
3. You don't know what his insurance company covered. I would imagine they have very good insurance.
4. He is a family member and his family is equally deserving as any other families to have their loved one get a heart transplant.
5. Lastly, whether you like it or not he was the VP of the United States. That position comes with certain privileges whether you like it or not. I'm quite sure the President and the Vice president, along with the Secretary of State, House speaker, and all congress men and women have excellent health coverage. He is no less deserving of the same health coverage that Biden or Gore or any other VP gets.
BTW, I find your comment about the people who write the laws racist. I'm sure there are plenty of black, Asian, Hispanic and other races and women who write laws. Just because a law benefits someone who is Caucasion doesn't mean it was written by "rich white guys". And I don't think there is a law that only VP Cheney gets to have a heart transplant and everyone else suffers.

For sniff sigh - Sounds more like disdain & sarcasm
[ In Reply To ..]But you keep up with the thought that 1 poster thinks your special. Guess you are so starved for affection, you will believe anything. Amazing the egos on this board that think they are worthy of emulation. Love your description of yourself, too. And no, I am not the OP, but have seen your "work". Nothing to write home about. Just sayin' Now flame and stalk and insult and write stupid lines; seems to be the norm for a small group here.
agree with ignoring the haters - Conservative
[ In Reply To ..]I agree. I posted a response earlier because my father was going through the exact same process as Cheney for the heart transplant. I also worked in a facility that began screening for people needing heart tranplants. As I stated earlier, I have seen almost no facts regarding transplants and how they are carried out, but one sickening, hate-filled comment after another. I think a lot of these comments come from people that are so starved for attention, they will say anything, no matter how far out, just to get that attention. Just look at the repeated childish posts listed below. These childish OPs are questioning the age of another poster? Would be funny if not so pathetic.
I agree too - see message
[ In Reply To ..]Best to ignore. Let them spew. Their true colors come out each and every time they post.

[ In Reply To ..]No one addressed those comments to you, but you just couldn't stop from interjecting your 2-worthless cents which now, thanks to Obama, is worth about 0.25 cents. Keep up your little schtick routine, you and your 2 friends...gives "US" plenty of laughs behind your backs. Speaking of cowards, you 2 or 3 sure throw the crap around until you're called on it or the moderator deletes it, then you crawl away like slugs since you can't post a fact. Coming face-to-face with a fact would probably cause you heart failure and WE all know how you hate heart transplants. Lovin' it.

I saw that 55+ did not have a good survival rate - What is the criteria?
[ In Reply To ..]Anyone know? Is it the same for kidneys as it is for hearts?
Criteria - Conservative
[ In Reply To ..]I noticed your post and wanted to answer you. My father had very severe heart disease, much like what Cheney experienced. We pursued the heart transplant option (I worked for the cardiovascular MDs treating him). The criteria is organ specific and there are numerous steps for the MDs to determine the eligibility of the recipient. Age is not the single, determining factor. There are far too many to list here. We also worked with a world-renowned transplant specialist at one of our hospital that perfected transplant operations, techniques, and criteria (Dr. Starzl). I would be more than happy to answer any question you may have, as I have seen many, many erroneous comments on this board regarding transplants. The department I specifically worked in and with was Cardiovascular Diseases and I know whereof I speak. Unfortunately, many on here do not and are more interested in spreading their hate for a man than any knowledge on the subject.
I was with you until your last sentence. - nm
[ In Reply To ..].
No, her last sentence was right on. Just read the messages - what if
[ In Reply To ..]She wrote "Unfortunately, many on here do not and are more interested in spreading their hate for a man than any knowledge on the subject."
Which is exactly true. Have you seen all the hate messages towards the man. People are posting without telling the truth. Mr. Cheney was the VP of the United States. Whether or not you agreed with his policies he is deserving of the same benefits the current VP of the United States receives. People also need to remember he is a human being. He has a wife, kids, and grandkids. I'm sure they feel differently than most on this board and don't want to see their loved one suffer.

[ In Reply To ..]She wrote "Unfortunately, many on here do not and are more interested in spreading their hate for a man than any knowledge on the subject."
Which is exactly true. Have you seen all the hate messages towards the man. People are posting without telling the truth. Mr. OBAMA is the president of the United States. Whether or not you agreed with his policies he is deserving of the same respect as the previous presidents of the United States received. People also need to remember he is a human being. He has a wife, children (no goats), and someday grandchildren. I'm sure they feel differently than most on this board and don't want to see their loved one suffer.
Gotcha.
I agree with you - mbmt
[ In Reply To ..]It does seem that the same people that think that we are spreading hate for Dick Cheney think nothing of spreading hate for President Obama.
Yes, isn't it strange the way that happens? - nm
[ In Reply To ..]
No one ever said they wanted Obama dead - Conservative
[ In Reply To ..]but many stated that on here. Your assessment is way off.
No, that's not the right way. This post is not about Mr. Obama. It's about Mr. Cheney - do try to stay on subject
[ In Reply To ..]There is no "gotcha" because we are not talking about Mr. Obama. We are talking about Mr. Cheney. That is what this subject thread is about. Mr. Cheney and the hate poured fourth. Nowhere in this thread was Mr. Obama mentioned, or Mr. Biden or Mr. Bush or Mr. Pitt or Mr. Ramsey or Mr. Jones, or Mr. Smith, etc etc. Understand? Once again, this thread is about nobody else except Mr. Cheney.
So, sorry...ya gotcha a no go.

[ In Reply To ..].
Nice response - Conservative
[ In Reply To ..]I think, at this point, these "gotchas" are grasping at tiny little straws to try and justify their hateful comments towards another human being. No one brought up Obama but them. I have never seen anyone on this board wish Obama dead, but I have seen that hate directed towards many, many people that the liberals did not like or anyone the liberals felt did not agree with them. This is just a full-blown example of the constant double standard and hate-filled rhetoric so indigenous to the liberals.
Edgar Winter - Conservative
[ In Reply To ..]Unfortunately for you, your spin "got" no one. I would not deny Obama a heart transplant either, nor wish harm on him like so many on here spew towards those not in their party. No matter how much I hate Obama's policies, I have never wished him or his family harm, illness, or anything bad to happen to them. Guess being decent to another human being that does not share your beliefs or politics is a concept that the liberals just cannot wrap their minds around or understand since they do not practice that behavior; just take a look at the board. You seem more interested in a "gotcha" than promoting compassion toward anyone.
sweeping generalizations and - true colors
[ In Reply To ..]Sorry, I think it's foolish to say "liberals just cannot wrap their minds around" "being decent to another human being that does not share [their] beliefs or politics". It's particularly foolish to follow this remark with sweeping generalizations that villify those who do not share your politics. (!)

How old are you? What a waste of board space - MODERATOR - POSTER NEVER CONTRIBUTES
[ In Reply To ..]This poster seems to get her rocks off chasing another all over the board with these stupid comments. No content in posts. Just insults.
take a deep breath and think about what you just said - (from she who never contributes)
[ In Reply To ..]I don't appreciate you talking about my "rocks" - it's a little too anatomical. Now, I would like you to think about what you said.
You state "poster never contributes". How would you know? I certainly contribute, and make it a point to add to the conversation with thoughtful comment. Despite this, I am frequently met with retorts from posters who have nothing to add but an echoic drive-by. When this happens, I will, on occasion, if particularly moved by the empty snarkiness, react with a pithy rejoinder.
As for "chasing" others all over the board, I will leave that for the moderator to referee, but I do suggest you talk yourself down.

Great Post Conservative - Thank You
[ In Reply To ..]Nice to see some positive feedback. Again, thank you, your post was quite informative. Prayers for you and family.
I appreciate that Great Post - Conservative
[ In Reply To ..]It is very nice to receive this, as well. My situation was unique in that I was on both sides of this, working for transplant recipients and my family in need, as well. Especially after reading all the nasty comments made following my posts, I am beginning to think that many of these nasty posters have a serious aversion to anything positive at all. When we started screening for any patient in need of transplant services, never once did I ask for a party affiliation, ask whom they voted for, or treat any patient with the hatred and disdain that so many on this board exercise. Each patient was treated as a valuable life that meant a great deal to all peoople involved. It is a very, very exhausting situation to be involved in. For the record, we also had to perform the same screening for inmates incarcerated for horrific crimes. I would really like to see how these hate spewers would have fared in those circumstances. Thanks again!

[ In Reply To ..]If it is so easy to look up things on the internet if you are an "avid reader" why are you all too damn lazy to do it? Always SCREAMING aboutu links, websites, sources, blahblahblah. Just shows your insecurities.
Who cares - do you have any idea all the other stuff - what if
[ In Reply To ..]we pay for that we don't want to. Besides, I'm pretty sure Cheney's heart is not in the list of things my tax dollars or going for. And if they do so what. I don't care. If VP Biden was in need of a heart transplant I'm wouldn't care either. The guy was a VP for petes sake. You can't grant favors for the people in your party and ignore the others.
And no, I don't particularly care for him, but I don't dislike him either. I respect anyone who holds the position of president and vice president. I may not agree with all their decisions, but the door swings both ways. What Cheney and Bush and anyone else does I don't care.
The hate on this board towards Cheney is so overwhelmingly disturbing. You may not have agreed with his policies and what he did but he deserves the same respect you demand of your VP.
But needless to say the hate towards him on this board is so overwhelmingly disturbing. People even wishing him suffering and then saying he's is going to suffer karma. I found that quite funny that these posters don't even realize what they are writing.
But I wouldn't worry your pretty little heads about it too much. I hear survival rate for this age with a heart transplant is not very good, so I'm sure you'll all be partying like its 1999 when you hear that news. Hope all that hate works out for you all.
Who cares - Conservative
[ In Reply To ..]Just the same old, same old treatment towards anyone that does not agree with the liberal mindset, such as it is. I, too, find these posts unnatural and disturbing due to the monumental degree of hatred they express. Guess kicking their dog got old...LOL.

You need to get your facts straight - BEFORE YOUR RUN YOUR MOUTH
[ In Reply To ..]It used to be that people over 55 were not put transplant lists. That has now changed and they look at each case individually. It depends on the overall health of the person. Also, in case you might have forgotten, Dick Cheney was vice president of the United States. That comes with certain priveleges whether you agree with it or not. I find it so amusing that so many of you are fuming over this man getting a heart transplant. Better get over it because you can't do anything about it now. Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!
Facts straight - Conservative
[ In Reply To ..]What happened to this board???? Just got back from a long weekend and I am appalled at the brutality here. The only thing the least bit humourous was the post about the libs standing between Maher and a heart transplant to shoot anyone that got in the way...LOL. Hard to imagine what daily life would be like with these posters that are brimming over with such hatred towards Cheney, but then, Dems are the group that embraces late-term abortions and infanticide should a baby actually survive such brutality. Obama can vouch for that since he voted for it.
Do you know something? - mthead
[ In Reply To ..]And this is not personal against you, but you're right that this board is brutal. From the left I see well-deserved hatred aimed at the likes of Rush and Cheney and from the right I see really intense hatred toward and personal attacks on liberal or even moderate posters. So even though I have tried to post neutral things to get people to see both sides, and even though I have tried to see both sides, I see that there is nothing here for me but a nasty, out-of-control hen party. Nothing educational or otherwise. So I'm done here. I can't stomach it.
And the hates can flame away at me and follow me around other boards and dislike my nonpolitical posts, as I have noticed has been done to other posters, and I COULD NOT CARE LESS. And go ahead and fire back with "good riddance" or whatever childish remarks you people can come up with. And no, I don't care whether I'm missed or not, so you don't have to post about thin skins or pouting liberals or whatever tripe you guys trot out. Y'all just have a ball here. Hate just isn't my thing.

[ In Reply To ..]I'm with you conservative. I started reading a few posts this morning from the weekend and then decided not to waste any more time. I felt like I was at the Daily Koz site. Sometimes it's just best (for me, anyway) to ignore all those senseless, hate-filled posts. The hatred is so deep and so strong that it's frightening.
why would he use his own money? - I wouldn't
[ In Reply To ..]what are you talking about? Is the man not insured?
He has lifetime government insurance but... - sm
[ In Reply To ..]can afford any extreme life extending treatment that even the best insurance might not cover such as the expense of an external cardiac assist device to keep him alive until a cadaver transplant could be found.
Funny thing is his insurance is the same as - Obamacare. nm
[ In Reply To ..].

[ In Reply To ..]he did not deserve it. He should have set the example of resisting SOCIALISM by telling his surgeon to 'go ___ himself' as he said to congress.

[ In Reply To ..].
Transplant payment - Conservative
[ In Reply To ..]Because of the costs of transplant (and some insurances will not cover these operations), there is funds or tranplant pools set up, sometimes by the hospital and sometimes by the state. It can vary from state-to-state; so, I cannot tell you with certainty how each and every transplant case is paid for. In my state, regardless of your age, at the time you receive a transplant of any kind, you are immediately placed on Medicare. You also are required to get your meds through particular pharmacies that specialize in these drugs, as they are extremely expensive. The hospital transplant team has all of this in place before someone is discharged home from the hospital, as they cannot miss any of the anti-rejection drugs. An occasional dose missed is not life-threatening, but if someone runs out of the drugs required it can kill the recipient.
A person savvy enough - to accumulate
[ In Reply To ..]those big bucks would know better than to offer THAT statement unsolicited.To admit to the great unwashed that they are willing to suck firmly on the public teet while hoarding 100 mil is a (sniff) "private matter."
if it's covered by insurance, it's covered - why should he pay privately?
[ In Reply To ..]I don't care for Mr. Cheney, but I don't understand the desire on the part of so many on this board to see him disenfranchised. He has insurance; there are programs in place for those who undergo transplant surgery. Why should he not be allowed to avail himself of the same benefits to which we are all entitled? If those of us who dislike the man were to strip him of his rights and privileges, what does that say about who we are?
that you see nothing - wrong
[ In Reply To ..]with a (minimum 30 million, maximum 100) millionaire using previous public funds and personal influence to acquire an organ at least 10 years over the usual cutoff date agewise, I feel very sorry for you. Especially one who always fought strenuously against laws that benefitted anyone other than the extremely wealthy. A man pro torture and responsible for the deaths of thousands including our very own sons and daughters. So sad.
that's right, I don't - sm
[ In Reply To ..]I don't like the man. It's possible that I might dislike the man even MORE than you do. I happen to feel he is a criminal. I have never heard of anyone expecting the wealthy to pay out of pocket for a procedure covered by insurance. I have no evidence that he used public funds or personal influence, and people are often considered for heart transplants at his age.
I also believe Social Security - payments
[ In Reply To ..]should be need based. If I were worth a measly $10 million, I would defer my entitlements. Bleeding heart liberals, crazy huh?
I agree. SS should be treated as an insurance policy sm - sm
[ In Reply To ..]In the event that you get old or sick and have limited resources SS will pay you a monthly stipend. The way it works now, EVERYONE regardless of resources collects about $1000-2000 a month, pocket change for many elderly people I know. On the other hand, I also know people in my town who have worked hard all their lives, some at minimum wage jobs, some professionals that have had their jobs phased out and resources exhausted, and they are living on about $1200 a month which becomes $900 a month after Medicare, Medicare supplement and Rx coverage are paid.
I would love to have a civil conversation about this issue but I don't know if it is possible on this board.

By Sahil KapurFriday, March 5th, 2010 -- 1:33 pm Liz Cheney is used to drawing the ire of liberals, but her latest attack campaign against the Obama administration has conservatives likening her to one of the most notorious political villains in the last century.

Trump-- This Says It All--I'm Not Getting PaidAug 08, 2015

His comments on Megyn Kelly's efforts are disgusting. http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/08/politics/donald-trump-cnn-megyn-kelly-comment/ ...

Amazon Workers Want To Be PaidOct 03, 2014
for waiting in line. "Amazon warehouses are full of stuff people like. To cut down on theft, workers who box and ship it are required to pass through security checkpoints after their shifts, waiting in lines that can take almost 30 minutes to get through. On Oct. 8 the Supreme Court will hear arguments about whether that time counts as work." Gee, aren't these Amazon workers lucky that they do not work for MTSOs who constantly run out of work and leave thei ...
