No,Bito’ again please?
I went there, but couldn’t find a contact link.

Me too, I still have to call Barbara Boxer, if for no other reason but to tell her I think she’s great and to please continue the fight.

AdLib, here’s my quetion on this…
What about all the people that are making very good money, under the table.
They claim little to nothing on tax returns.
If they are forced into the new system, even though they have the money, they’ll be seen as low income. Will they be able to receive subsidies that they really don’t qualify for or what? They won’t have to pay the penalty if they don’t file tax returns, and yet, they’d have to state their income to get insurance. Seems like there’s a lot of ways this system could be abused.
I ‘m not sure I’m being clear, so I hope you all get my point.

Al Franken is truly a brilliant man.
Greyson’s not too far behind, just needs a little more experience.
I hope the voters give him another term..

I did call my CA Rep, Sam Farr, today.
He said he would absolutely continue to fight for the public option.

Since we’re polling, 1 dog, a Tibetan Mastiff named Kanga and 1 cat, Miss Kitty. I rescued the cat from off the streets, and I rescued the dog from my son that got her and and then spent no time with her.
He pays all food and vet bills, and I get to enjoy her!! I love all creatures great and small.

I never believed that for a second. I only trust a few of the ones that switched.
Frank Scheaffer (sp) comes to mind, I believe he saw the light.

No, that’s step into the light, and he did.

I confess, me too e’cat, but I made it out unscathed.
Old habits die hard.

I’m beginning to think it’s posers to dumb down the converse over there, and make other people think we are giving up and bashing our President.

Thanks, I went to that other place for a minute too, then thought better of it.
I had a question for you…
How did my profile pic, from that other place, get here without me posting it?

» Posted By Hopeington On December 15, 2009 @ 1:10 am

Glad to know someone else is here, I was thinking I was just talking to myself.
I’m a night owl, I’m gonna have to change my ways to get in on the morning blog or early evening chats where folks seem to be on the same time schedule.
I gotta figure that out.

» Posted By Hopeington On December 14, 2009 @ 11:35 pm

more snerk from me, how will the voters let him get anywhere?

» Posted By Hopeington On December 14, 2009 @ 11:31 pm

Gotta agree with you Patsy. I mean, it was only a couple days that MediCare buy in was out there. Seems like it made folks too happy so they had to whisk it away.
Can’t the voters see right through his insincerity though, after calling for MediCare buy in for years and then suddenly changing his mind? Are people really not paying attention?

Fired Up…Ready To Go!!

Only in my dreams FBI.
I hope CT kills him with their vote.
oh would that make me happy, do it the right way….but I still think he’s a mo’fo.

Just finished listening to Rachel and now watching Keith, I think we need to be
Fired Up…Ready To Go!!
It’s not over til it’s over, but what a crazy ride.

To say the least.
Actually douche bags have an excellent function, Lie bermann isn’t good enough to be associated with a douche bag, you need to go lower.

» Posted By Hopeington On December 14, 2009 @ 8:52 pm

I must have been typing when you were saying that. I really want to choke the mother fucker, that’s just not like me, but he truly makes me grimace.
Go spray him skunky!!
Just joking about chocking, but not the spraying skunk thing, that would satisfy me.

When I heard this news on NPR today, I had the same feeling as AdLib…sinking and kicked. I made one comment today on HuffnPuff, that never in my life have I wanted to choke someone like I wanted to choke Liebermann.
Funny thing is, none of this, that I have been fighting, petitioning and going to meetings for, will effect me.
I’m so low income, I won’t get any insurance from anyone one no matter what the cost.
Mandate away, I can’t pay.
But I know how important it is to all the other folks and it’s so crazy that it costs so much, just the medicare buy in, I heard, was going to be about $800 a month(coulda heard wrong that seems so high)
Guess I’ll have to stick to the county plan I have right now, $12 copay for an appt today, got xrays and blood work and 2 prescriptions for $4 each.
I didn’t have the money, but they let me be seen and I’ll have to pay the $12 before I can go back and didn’t have the $8 so I didn’t get the prescription….but I have hope, as soon as I get paid I’ll go get those.
But doesn’t Liebermann care about his chairmanship? Didn’t he realize that losing it would be the logical conclusion? Are the Dems going to remove him? Are the voters going to remove him?
I’d like to remove him, he is such a worm, I hate the slimy smiling pics I see of him, he looks so proud of himself I just want to wipe the smile right off his face.

The Media Whoracle

Yeah e’cat. I thought the same thing when I saw that.
I guess I’m flexible too and stretched that right out.

» Posted By Hopeington On December 15, 2009 @ 2:04 am

Pepe, that was crazy, I got to Cats, now on cd, and was busting up,great distraction after a long day that just keeps getting longer.

Thought I’d bring bito’s link back up to the top. for Oak Investments. http://www.oakinv.com/
I counted 13 health care type business out of the 450 they are affiliated with. So yes, I do believe they are just picking up the slack because it’s not really tea party weather right now.
Excellent reasoning Marion. The Greek Whoracle was the absolute best I’ve heard yet, and thanks for that disgusting picture because I thoroughly dislike like the way they put up the most unflattering pics, the last one I complained about was Chelsea Clinton and her fiance, they had the happy couple looking like miserable dogs.
I only started posting over there during the election, but right from the beginning I knew not to click any of the whoracle’s stories, and judging from the comments left, no one else was reading them either.
I started getting scrubbed so much, I got another profile and handled it differently to see if they scrubbed me as much…they didn’t, so sometimes I use rollingballafire and just post sane little trite things. They wipe more than half of what I say as Hopeington, so why bother trying at all.
On a positive note, all that banning got me here, where I feel like I can exercise my intelligence and actually grow. I don’t know how long this site has been here but I’m glad to get in on the ground floor and look forward to the coming years and growth of the Planet…long winded but going to continue.
I will say I’m disappointed, I had a great many days over there and enjoyed getting fanned for my words and not my looks or actions.
I learned a lot and found other great places that could have taken days to find.
I love the Planet though, I had been looking for another place and it was so hard to post comments at other sites, like media matters and FDL because they were heavily monitored and if you didn’t get you comment in before 5pm, you either didn’t get posted or, on Friday you waited til Monday so there was no dialoging.
For a while I was pissed because the righties were taking over, I remember when they came on board and said that was their intention, now I just don’t care, they can have themselves, when I went there today, that’s about all there was……pure negativity,( I will admit I left a comment)
I’m a fan of everyone here and I appreciate you all soooo much
I love being on the Planet!!! Hugs and kisses!!!

Hanukkah: the festival of light

http://rapidlibrary.com/index.php?q=john+belousi+hanukkah

Wow Cher, I had no idea about this beautiful celebration.
I guess my Catholic upbringing just turned me off to organized religion in any way that I never bothered to find out about Jewish traditions. It actually makes so much sense I want to join in.
The idea of looking to the light and not using the light is very thought provoking.
It puts the Santa and baby Jesus stories to shame.

» Posted By Hopeington On December 13, 2009 @ 12:47 pm

Yep javaz, Been there, done that…that’s probably why we’re mentioning it, it’s part of our life’s experience.
We are our own brand of torture. They’d be begging to shut us up!!!
