I’m not for euthanasia or anything, but if anyone makes a good case for it, it’s ol’ Helen.

WOW!!! Now you see why The Old Leftist Media is dying. MARXIST=DEMOCRATS=TERRORIST All the same ask the NUT Helen Thomas.

Who are these people who we have in Washington!? Such clueless wonders! Time wasters, all, while our young people in uniform stay involved in some deadly serious goings-on. Then, too, now we have this latest idiot to surface and waste our time, this nut case Grayson, a Dim bulb from Florida. The patients have taken over the institution!

Wow, Gibbs is such a laugh riot. Getting a little tired of the joke called the daily press conference. It’s funny the questions he gets most of the times because they’re so stupid, but he’s not funny, someone should tell him.

So if she forces doctors to be the new slave class it won’t bother her. We are repeting American history all over again. Just instead of cheap manual labor we want cheap advanced medical personnel that work triple shifts for low pay. Yea… that’ll fix Amerika?

olddog   October 2nd, 2009 - 12:54 am

Oh how I wish the doctors in this country would go on “strike”!

Don't Drink the Kool Aid   October 2nd, 2009 - 4:44 am

Doctors in the country won’t go on “strike” they will just leave the health industry altogether. Then we’ll have to send our patients to India and China, like the rest of the jobs we’re losing. Helen and Major are the only two reporters in that room that actually ask the tough questions….thank God for her experience and clout and thank God Major has a brass pair.

I love Helen Thomas, though she is very liberal she tells it how it is and doesn’t stand up to any adminstration. The always has the best sound bites. I love finding these on http://www.americanparchment.com.

She is right, they will never get the public option that is unless Rush Limbaugh and the Heritage Foundation is correct on the joining of bills. That would make a lot of people mad and they would be sealing their coffins but I think Reid already knows that he is gone.

…if helen is predisposed to insuring the health of the illegal and self insurer then she can bust out the ‘ol checkbook and write check on her funds to cover their goat smelling posteriors IT WILL NOT BE ME!

Gibbs, Obama, Rahm, Axelrod, Jarrett, and the entire DNC are as clueless and dishonest as anything we’ve EVER seen in this Country’s history.
They are purely evil people who hate this country and want it destroyed. – Argue all you want their actions speak for themselves.

Kit   October 2nd, 2009 - 1:41 pm

Gibbs would be a good replacement for Letterman.

Will Kane   October 2nd, 2009 - 10:17 pm

Helen Thomas hates George Bush and the republicans, but she really thought that she would have a private audience with Barry Hussein for her loyalty. Little did she know that the only loyalty Barry has is to Michelle and himself.

lavoce – You are 100% right. This administration hates the military and Barry could care less about Afghanistan. He is too busy going on date nights, flying around the country pushing his socialist health care that the majority of Americans don’t want and now he goes to Copenhagen to push for Chicago instead of worrying about our young men and women who are in harms way.

The only picture I have seen of Barry pretending to be working in the whitehouse he had his feet up on the people’s furniture. No class!

No really! I can hardly tell it’s a wig.

Contest Manager   October 3rd, 2009 - 7:41 am

I wonder if Helen Thomas would be interested in a titty tat contest with Madeline Albright.

To be followed up by a dual entry in the next Naked Bike Ride Protest.

I love the left wing flakes.

“Want Your Conscience to Bother You’ implies that this dude and his boss have a conscience (they probably have it, but it is either atrophic or cauterized).
Helen: you are a child of privilege, you never experienced socialized medicine yourself. How about me wanting your conscience to bother You?
How would you justify million of patients being misdiagnosed and mistreated because of Obamacare? See, I do not invent stories as some of you do:
When I was doing my internship abroad (in a Country where they have a government ran healthcare system) I ended up doing my rounds at a private hospital. We –the interns- learned a great deal of complicated respiratory illnesses in children and elder people. The reason was that these patients started with a common illness, but were misdiagnosed and/or mistreated by the doctors working at the Government ran clinics. We had a meeting and we questioned the situation. The doctors working at the Government ran clinics told us that they had complained themselves: they were assigned a quota of patients to ‘see’ in one hour and they were not able to do due diligence because the quota of patients was too high. This resulted in the patients having to take several additional visits to the clinics…just to end up as severe cases at our Emergency room.

There is nothing good about Government ran healthcare. The Affirmative Action President is being ill advised, or is bent into exponentially expanding Government Control to auto-industries, banks, radio, schools and healthcare (Statism).

Helen, it is too late for you, honey…BUT there is still time for us:

There is still time to turn this big government control tide: keep an eye on any blue dog Democrat or republican who votes for this nonsense. Register to vote, and let us send home all the Liberal Democrats and RINOS. We need fresh air…or as my friend put it: Washington needs Breeze, Brains and Balls.
