It's not like anyone brings cancer on themselves and if they were in the same position or it were their child would they feel the same?? Man, I'm not big on politics so I read your info with an open mind and worry about all of our futures.... with that being said:-) Thanks for letting me know my U blog was missing.

I stopped believing in "every vote counts" before I was even able to vote--which I never have. I don't believe anyone can get to know the candidates anymore so that they can make an intelligent decision. Politicians will absolutely promise anything to win and then they never can accomplish what they say they can. <br />I am perfectly happy to let other people watch the news and vote. I don't really think it matters much who they put in there.becky3086https://www.blogger.com/profile/01026872543168452124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5464278377527384610.post-78032089686529605802012-04-13T12:34:55.498-07:002012-04-13T12:34:55.498-07:00I was wondering how you were doing, Judie. glad y...I was wondering how you were doing, Judie. glad you are mending.<br /><br />Politics can be so disgusting! Who IS for truth anymore, or the good of the people (who elected/will elect you)?<br />So many intelligent people spread "facts" that simply have little basis in reality (and not just about politics).

In my lifetime, I have never seen it this bad. We may differ on when it began, but that is minutia. I think it started when a Black man was elected president and the racism in this country reared its ugly head. Thus was born the Tea Party...no matter how they might deny it.<br /><br />Get well soon, my friend. You are cherished by so many.

When Bush was running for president, a former friend started sending us Republican propaganda. I asked him to stop. He asked me if I wanted four more years of sex in the White House, and Enron. The Enron big shots had close ties to the Bush's immediate family. Anyone who questions this fact should just go check it out.Judiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778815502961000469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5464278377527384610.post-84818649515125297662012-04-12T07:59:17.654-07:002012-04-12T07:59:17.654-07:00A very wise man once said: "Nothing contribut...A very wise man once said: "Nothing contributes more to peace of mind than having no opinions at all."

People have made millions being controversial and I'm afraid that's a sign of the times.<br /><br />I'm just grateful that people can now get insurance with a pre-existing condition.<br /><br />Emergency rooms cannot refuse someone with a life threatening medical emergency, but no one has to treat a life threatening illness...for example, cancer.<br /><br />No insurance can happen to anyone. Remember when Enron collapsed? People were out on the street with no money and no insurance. I remember reading in the paper about a man with cancer left with nothing.<br /><br />I'm sorry to hear about your health problems.

Hospitals these days are run for profit. There was a case recently in the news in which an elderly man died in an ambulance while being shuttled from one hospital that refused him because he had no insurance, to a county hospital that was 30 minutes away.<br /><br />There was a time in this country when maternity care was not covered by insurance because the companies felt that one had nine months to come up with the money. As far as birth control pills are concerned, if men have Viagra covered by insurance, then birth control should be also.<br /><br />I believe that if someone has been "blessed" with the ability to make lots and lots of money, that person has a responsibility to his own conscience to help those in need. As Jesus said, "it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Heaven."<br /><br />Thank you for your comment, Lori.Judiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778815502961000469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5464278377527384610.post-23188594416995466212012-04-11T18:45:22.915-07:002012-04-11T18:45:22.915-07:00I am a Christian conservative who believes in smal...I am a Christian conservative who believes in small government and allowing people who work hard keep their money and share it with others the way they think is best instead of a big, impersonal government who is deeply in debt and is so wasteful. Anyone who needs medical care in America has always gotten it. No ER can turn anyone away but I don't agree with the government stealing from the people {and for people's birth control?}. Having said all that, we are, above all, called to love others deeply. I never want to get in heated discussions with people over things like this because the relationship is way more important to me than being right.
