• AdLib : Night Sally!

  • SallyT : Good night, AdLib.

  • AdLib : That’s good to hear, Issa is such an egotist, it probably hurt him “real good!”

  • SallyT : I will try to be there for sure.

  • SallyT : Afleck really gets some good digs in on Issac and his investigating the attack on the embassy.

  • AdLib : Well Sally, looks like we’re closing the Vox Populi bar again! Thanks so much for doing the honors with me! BTW, we’ll be having a live chat for the Obama-Romney debate on Tuesday, hope to see you then if you can make it! Have a great weekend!

  • AdLib : Yep, he’s a sharp guy.

  • SallyT : I like that MT Governor, too.

  • AdLib : Night KQ! Take care of that back and have a relaxing weekend (I hope!)!

  • SallyT : Good night KQ.

  • KQµårk 死神 : Good night folks.

  • SallyT : She is only the interview guest, about her book. She isn’t on the panel.

  • AdLib : And Coulter?

  • SallyT : Schweitzer and Afleck shot Issa down and in the end he was pretty much not challenging them.

  • AdLib : I don’t know, I find it masochistic to watch Coulter on anything, might skip it tonight.

  • AdLib : That sounds like a nausea-inducing episode of Maher. I’m with you, why would I want to subject myself to such toxic waste?

  • SallyT : Ben Afleck is one sharp dude! He knows his stuff!

  • SallyT : But, he also has Brian Schweitzer, MT Gov and Ben Afleck and they saved the day!

  • AdLib : As for Tuesday’s debate, the bar is kind of low for Obama which is a good thing. All he has to do is look comparable to Romney in the eyes of undecided voters and he’ll look like he won. He’ll do more than that but just saying…

  • SallyT : Oh AdLib, I thought I wasn’t going to be able to watch Real Time tonight because he has Ann Coulter and Darrell Issa on.

  • SallyT : You’re right.

  • AdLib : Sally – But the racists are already voting for Romney. The undecided would have no reason to.

  • SallyT : They would vote for Romney if they still don’t like a black guy in the White House and that is their only reason.

  • AdLib : Sally – Same here, that was a bulls eye! Ryan and Romney keep talking down the economy, it was great to see them slapped down for their lying about it.

  • SallyT : I loved how Joe corrected Ryan on the jobs getting better last night.

  • AdLib : If we don’t need Romney to fix the economy, health care, Medicare, foreign affairs, etc…why should anyone vote for him?

  • SallyT : And, he has done all this with Repugs obstructions. Think how far we would be now if they had cooperated.

  • AdLib : Sally – Absolutely, bit by bit, if Obama plays these cards right, there is no reason to vote for Romney.

  • SallyT : That takes more away from Romney’s talking points, KQ.

  • AdLib : KQ – I hadn’t heard that, excellent news! And Obama will have the new jobs report to tout in the next debate, since it came out after tyhe first one.

  • KQµårk 死神 : I think the good economic news is going to kick in at some point too AdLib just now I saw a report that consumer confidence is up to where it was in September 2007. «link»

  • AdLib : CL – Wise choice, I’d hate to take your money! Night!

  • choicelady : Good night AdLib, KQ, and Sally!

  • choicelady : OK AdLib – we’d put money on the Comeback Kid, but we’re not betting AGAINST you!

  • KQµårk 死神 : Sleep well CL. Yup I won’t argue with that one AdLib.

  • AdLib : Night CL and I say again, I am confident that the story after Tuesday will be “Obama – The Comeback Kid”.

  • choicelady : KQ – I realize it’s not all Christie’s doing, but watching NJ do the GOP thing just proves Christie’s unfitness for public office!

  • KQµårk 死神 : CL so again that points out another big Romney lie during the debate. Yes Medicaid is a different story all together. There are fewer doctors taking Medicaid. But that problem goes way back to the inception of Medicaid because it was optional for states and they administer the program. Right now NJ pretty much privatized Medicaid which really hurt the number of providers available for example.

  • choicelady : Well THIS is a dismal way to end the evening, so I will say I’m rooting for the President to cream Mr. Romney next week and STILL basking in the glow of Bidenizing Ryan last night! May we all have a great weekend and gather together next Tuesday for more! Until then – sweet dreams, and a lovely weekend to all!

  • AdLib : CL – That is just so wonderful of you to help your neighbors but so awful of a system that subjects them to that.

  • AdLib : KQ – You said it. The mortality rates of seniors would skyrocket and the number of homeless seniors too. What do you do when you’re 80 and your medical care takes all your money…not to mention that privatizing SS eaves you penniless after the next inevitable crash. America would truly become a third world nation under the Repubs.

  • choicelady : KQ – hospitals have to take it to keep accredited. They do NOT have to take Medicaid I don’t think, but Medicare? Yes. This outpatient dodge is idiotic and ultimately won’t help them. And most reputable hospitals wouldn’t do that. So it pays to pay attention to where you’re going. In CA they ARE tighening up on Medicaid – you are being assigned to an HMO, and you MUST go there. It’s a real problem for my neighbors since their hospital is several miles away, and bus service ends at 8 pm. When the son has seizures, if he’s in past 8 pm, they can’t get home until 7 am. So they call me… Sigh.

  • KQµårk 死神 : Yeah Sally that’s been a Medicare Part A and B problem already. But that’s something that can be fixed. The more people get use to controlling insurance companies the more power gov will have to make changes like that. Of course allot of it is going to depend who administers HHS as well.

  • KQµårk 死神 : Oh I see what you are saying AdLib. Of course the implications of that are even more grave literally.
