Subject: President Obama vs airhead Palin

Can you believe it? Sarah Palin is all over the news selling her not to be believed book, and Our President doing peace making in Asia hardly a blip on the radar. Where was he shown with the troops, honoring him as he honors them? Where? Oh, but Foux Noise made fun of him 24/7 as he payed respect to the leader who hosted his visit. Helping right along are the silly talking heads, as Limbaugh, crazy Beck and their crew of republican misfits. Is this all they have? Yep! Rupert Murdock backs those who are not worthy to walk in our Presidents shoes, and mimics everything hateful they spew about our President.

Yet Sarah the bimbo, they spout as their canidate for President. Are they for real? Yes they are,because the Republicans latch onto anyone they can, who can make outrages statements about President Obama, and at this time Palin is the name of the game. Will the Republicans ever come out of their evil fantasy world? Not in our lifetime. Fantasy is their comfort zone. President Obama is the adult, that these bullys, called Republicans have to bring him down. They have nothing else to offer the American people but smoke and mirrors.

Subject: Help Wanted!!

Dear BuzzFlash:

The job may be a temporary one, but being close to Christmas, some enterprising readers may wish to offer their services to the millions of morons who will buy Sarah Palin's book. The job? Reading it to them, of course. Anybody dumb enough to make this maniacal women even richer and more prominent on the national scene surely has very poor reading skills. For their sake, maybe a pop-up picture book should come with the original. For a modest fee, I will read the book to a Limbaugh Lemming. Since I will have to be interrupted many times during the reading to spell out something to the listener (such as "Where's Alaska?") I will take some literary license and ad lib a few portions of the book and make it really interesting. They will of course believe every word and I will be hospitalized for seizures from uncontrollable laughing. And I haven't even told you what the fee is.

Subject: Palin on the attack

Dear BuzzFlash:

Northwest Arkansas is all in a dither (the right wingnuts and evangelical beasties, that is) over the impending stop at a local Sam's Club store in Fayetteville by the Divine Sarah Palin herself. This is not good. Having established itself as reliable GOP territory, the Bible Belt, especially the Armageddonist faction, which I think is probably about 98% of all "Christians" around here, is drooling over the possibility of a Palin presidency. That's scary for so many reasons, including:

Incompetence: of course, that never stopped George W. from starting two unwinnable wars. Locals here still hero worship him. Palin has been touting the death scenario concerning health care, eagerly poisoning already susceptible minds, not to mention a myriad of total ignorance on just about every topic that doesn't involve moose.

Armageddonist: This is what is really frightening. Palin is among those types who, in their fervor for the final tribulation, will gladly try to make the events happen on their own just to prove themselves right. A full scale Mideast war that would entail far more than just Iraq would be an inevitability. Of course, her type will hide out safely stateside while we practically wipe out an entire generation of young men should she get her way.

Theocracy: There are millions of evangelicals out there including a faction in D.C. whom, should Palin get in the White House, would do everything they could to establish a national religion and make it compulsory. That would of course wipe out the 1st Amendment and those of us who don't supplicate willingly would have to do so under threat of imprisonment. These loonies are very dangerous, every bit as poisoned as the Taliban, and restrained only because of the 1st Amendment.

Sarah Palin is hot right now. Of course GOP men drool over her, but her being hot is also akin to Three Mile Island style hot. The gullible Limbaugh Lemmings here are not capable of free thought, not that they'd ever exercise it anyway, and they're prime agents for a country that would literally go off the deep end should Palin, Michelle Bachmann or Tom Coburn ever set foot in the White House. Bush Jr. only pretended to be a religious guy - he was all about oil and war. Palin would be much more dangerous, if that can be imagined. 2012 could indeed be a global catastrophe, but it would explode on Election Day rather than Dec. 21.

Subject: McCain Has No Clue About Retired People's Medical Expenses

Hi BuzzFlash,

What a joke. McCain is telling AARP Members to cut up their membership cards and send them back to AARP, because AARP had the audacity to support President Obama's Health Care Legislation.

McCain urges town hall attendees to cut up their AARP membership cards. http://thinkprogress.org/2009/11/15/mccain-aarp-cards/

Well, since McCain is "rolling in the dough", to the point that he couldn't even remember how many houses he had during the last campaign; may I suggest that everyone who is a member of AARP and uses them as a Secondary Insurer for their Medicare Bills, simply forward all their medical bills to the McCain Residence.

I'm sure McCain will be "Just As Bold" in telling current AARP Members that they HE WILL PAY for any unpaid portion of their Medicare Bills.

Happy Check Writing Johnny!! Oh, by the way Johnny, does your mother know about your "well thought out" Plan?

And this clown wanted to be President? He still doesn't have a clue!!!

Subject: Terrorist Defined

There is a widening wave of identifying Major Hasan as a "terrorist." But, how do they know that beyond a shadow of a doubt? What are the defining characteristics between a murderer and a terrorist? Who, When, and Why are they applied? I don't recall anyone ever applying the term terrorist to the Columbine shooters, and yet what they did terrorized a large group of people and killed many. But they are not terrorists? How about the DC Sniper? The Ohio sniper? The guy that went back to his office (former) in Florida and killed? I can go on and on and rarely are people referred to as terrorists.

Even Timothy McVeigh was rarely identified as a terrorist. Why? Has terrorist become synonymous with a person of Muslim faith who murders? Is it because Major Hasan is in the U.S. military and is Muslim and became a mass murderer that he is identified as a terrorist? But there have been a number of cases of military members killing their own. In times of war commanders have been killed by those they command. Is it because Major Hasan contacted radical elements of the Muslim faith that identifies him as a terrorist? Do then Christians who listen to John Hagee then become identified as terrorists when they commit acts of violence? Why is it not possible that when Major Hasan made several failed attempts to leave the military, and listening to the stories of the horrors of war, that he did not just slide into mental illness? It seems those that are quick to label do so for nefarious reasons. Who is rushing to label? Those on the right of course and those who claim to be liberal not wanting to give up on spook politics. Why? It is politically savy as they see it to scare Americans, to lie, cheat, steal, and deceive their way back into relevance.

Let's face it Joe Lieberman who is doing his absolute best to misrepresent Connecticut and deny Americans healthcare, can still scare us. I believe Lieber is German for lover, thus his past is filled with lover men, or the lover of men, which of course explains that extraordinarly large mouth. When do they make such claims? When they think it brings about a political advantage.

Their prupose is not the protection of America, if that were the case they would be demanding that Dick Cheney be placed in prison for committing treason. No they want to tie President Obama to terrorists and how we are less safe and remember above all else to run for your fucking life. It seems to me there about 20,000 acts of terrorism each year in the United States, and what we should do is bring about change that truly makes us safer. Finally, glad the fat head left CNN. He will of course show up on FOX, which is where he belongs. Just like Joe Loverman belongs to the Republican Party.

Subject: Bill O'Reilly on Veterans Day

I was watching Bill O'Reilly yesterday "Veterans Day", as he went into the all too predictable rant about Major Hasan as a terrorist. Try as he might to blame President Obama (who didn't see that coming) I was not listening to his words for 2 reasons, first I was at the gym and secondly the sound of Bill O'Reilly's voice always results in a gag reflex and near vomiting.

So I was reading. He said that President Obama needs to unite the world against terrorism. Which makes me wonder is Bill O'Reilly real? or is he some sort of robotic device? The world has united behind us once again. They love us once again. President Obama united Russia with us against Iran. He won the goddam Nobel Peace Prize you fucking idiot, or you inantimate humanoid machine. But then I read, "THere are those in this country who are running away from the problem of terrorism" and the subject matter was Major Hasan. Major Hasan as his title indicates was/is a member of the U.S. military. He was given several bad reviews and still moved down to Ft. Hood. His job was to listen to the horror of war and help those in need. He morphed into a mass murderer, was it because of his fanatical religious beliefs or did he simply slip slowly into insanity. No one knows.

However at the end of the day, while there were clearly red flags (at least reported to be) that should have been caught. It is outrageous for Bill O'Reilly or nayone else to disparage our military and accuse them of running away from terrorists. Our military is the best in the world, they deserve our support and respect. And for Bill O'Reilly to utter such mindless shit about our Commander and Chief and our military on Veterans Day is reprehensible. He should be identified for what he is...... The dumbest man on the planet. The winner of the Dopes Piece Prize. The Moron on the airwaves. The America Hater. Or maybe as a cyborg he just needs to have his electronics updated.

Subject: Health Care Reform? Not as it stands now

We cannot control the fact that we have Female Organs just like men can’t control that they have Male Organs. I can control if I smoke. Should people who could possibly get heart disease be charged more? What about people who have the potential to get diabetes? Where does it end? By just having certain DNA markers, we have the potential to have a whole host of diseases. Charging more because I am a Woman is discriminatory, period. Where do we draw the line? Do we make a list of all behaviors and DNA markers, have everyone tested and integrated to find out what they are doing so we can determine their risk? Well, we already do that for life insurance, why can’t we do that for health insurance? That is a very common argument.

But we are not talking about life insurance. Health insurance involves activity to keep us healthy as well as addressing when we get sick or injured. There is only one event that can initiate the payment of life insurance – and that is death. There are millions of possible events that can initiate the payment of health insurance. It would be exhausting and too costly to develop a fair payment method based on sex, DNA markers, lifestyle choices, etc. Where would we draw the line anyway? Behaviors that are thought of as good for you, like jogging, can cause injuries; football can cause brain damage, and the list goes on.

Subject: Health Reform

It would seem we have the same level of deceit among our Democrats as we had with our Republicans under Bush. After raving assurances from Nancy Pelosi about how the house bill would not be passed without a public option -- her so-called heroic public option was not worth putting on paper, and it propped up the insurance industy just as much as any republican measure would. Our Dems are still weaklings, and they are just as unsupportive of Americans as are the republicans.

Subject: Thank God

Thank God we have a start into having health care for all. A START!

No, I will not complain as I have seen and heard others who want it perfect or not at all. ARE THEY CRAZY??

We could not get a perfect bill with Blue Dogs who BTW we could do without. Come Primary I for one will not forget, and will not vote for any Blue Dog who did not vote for this bill. I am shy about anything Blue Dog now that I know they are republicans in Democratic clothing.

We have rabid republicans who are the devil we know! We were blindsided by Blue Dogs, who are a stab in the back, as well as any Democrat who, for any prideful reason say,this bill is not good enough for us, (We the People) and thought it courageous to vote NO! THAT WAS NOT COURAGE, that's what I call saving your behind in the states who will be voting for you. Not helping the poor and those who cannot get health care,and not supporting this bill for other reasons,is plain Bull and not fooling anybody.Also is spineless and lame. Be gone all naysayers!

Thank our President and our House speaker for the hard work they have done to get the vote of 220. This in itself was a miracle. Let us now see if Harry will be just as bold to get the bill passed in the Senate. Harry will not be forgiven if he cannot.

Again, thank God for those who voted for this bill, we the people are thankful we got anything at all.
