BARBARA'S DAILY BUZZFLASH MINUTE

"a memo by Republican strategist Frank Luntz outlined the script for opponents of health care reform... Luntz argued that a politician had to first pretend to support it, then use phrases like 'government takeover,' 'delayed care is denied care,' 'consequences of rationing,' and 'bureaucrats, not doctors prescribing medicine.'" PRETEND TO SUPPORT IT? Repuglican politicians have already begun their psychological mumbo jumbo in an effort to defeat the Democrats, it's not your health care the Repugs care about, it's defeating the Dems. And yet some still think conservatives have their best interests at heart, they don't. Health care should be a service not a business -- the bottom line should be HEALTH CARE not money, just remember under today's health care system, "bureaucrats" are making the decisions about your health care, your choices are limited to the doctors on the list, and you can be denied services.

With all the contradictions, the yeas and nays, by the Repuglicans in Congress, one has to wonder does the CDC need to investigate a possible bacterial, viral, or a possible unknown cause for dementia in this nation's Capitol??? Have they forgotten, Repuglicans agreed with a previous SCOTUS nominee who believed "empathy" was indeed a qualification for a Judge, but today "empathy" has become a dirty word that should never apply to judicial decisions. "Grassley never objected when Judge Samuel Alito said virtually the same thing during his confirmation hearing, when Alito testified he 'can’t help but think of' his immigrant family when evaluating immigration cases: 'When I get a case about discrimination, I have to think about people in my own family who suffered discrimination because of their ethnic background, or because of religion or because of gender, and I do take that in to account'.... Grassley admitted to applying a double standard to Sotomayor during an interview..." By the by, Grassley voted for Alito's confirmation.

Well, well, well, spying in the Bush Administration wasn't limited to foreign entities, there were some people that were "spying" on other people right here at home. "Liz Cheney is No Innocent Bystander. She Was Dick's Mole in the State Department on the Middle East."

As usual, Seymour Hersh knows what he's talking about, frankly he's one of the few investigative reporters left in the United States of America. If he says "It’s an executive assassination ring... Under President Bush’s authority, they’ve been going into countries, not talking to the ambassador or the CIA station chief, and finding people on a list and executing them and leaving. That’s been going on, in the name of all of us." I believe him! He's always been accurate in his reporting, Hersh doesn't lie to the American people.
