The powers that be in this country are determined to make Obamacare a reality. In the unbelievable and ongoing saga between ABC and republicans regarding the Obamacare infomercial scheduled to air next week, yet another shocking development. According to the Drudgereport.com:
ABC is refusing to air paid ads during its White House health care presentation, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned, including a paid-for alternative viewpoint!
The development comes a day after the network denied a request by the Republican National Committeeto feature a representative of the party's views during the Obama special.
Conservatives for Patients Rights requested the rates to buy a 60-second spot immediately preceding 'Prescription for America'.
Statement from Rick Scott, chairman of Conservatives for Patients Rights:
"It is unfortunate - and unusual - that ABC is refusing to accept paid advertising that would present an alternative viewpoint for the White House health care event. Health care is an issue that touches every American and all potential pieces of legislation have carried a pricetag in excess of $1 trillion of taxpayers' money. The American people deserve a healthy, robust debate on this issue and ABC's decision - as of now - to exclude even paid advertisements that present an alternative view does a disservice to the public. Our organization is more than willing to purchase ad time on ABC to present an alternative viewpoint and our hope is that ABC will reconsider having such viewpoints be part of this crucial debate for the American people. We were surprised to hear that paid advertisements would not be accepted when we inquired and we would certainly be open to purchasing time if ABC would reconsider."

I just don't understand how in the world this is happening. The media is so drunken with the heady wine of Obama that they apparently have decided, "who cares what the hell they think?" because they are going hard. Anytime a greedy television network is willing to turn down that mean, mean, mean, mean, mean green. Oh, trust me,we are in deep shit. One of my co-workers told me on Wednesday, "You know. I'm starting to wonder about Obama. What the hell is he doing?" Because I haven't just made it all but known that I don't support him, I just kind of mmmhmm'd her and shrugged my shoulders. At least she's starting to "get it". Now, if the rest of them would just wake the hell up. --SUGAR

Disgusting article from LATIMES!!! Sounds like Obama and his handlers want the right to decide which of us and/or our parents and children will be "cost effectively" left to die to pay for their trillion dollar health care plan:

Obama discusses deathbed measures
At a healthcare town hall, he says stopping futile procedures for the terminally ill can lower costs.

June 25, 2009
Reporting from Washington — President Obama suggested at a town hall event Wednesday night that one way to shave medical costs is to stop expensive and ultimately futile procedures performed on people who are about to die and don't stand to gain from the extra care.
In a nationally televised event at the White House, Obama said families need better information so they don't unthinkingly approve "additional tests or additional drugs that the evidence shows is not necessarily going to improve care."
He added: "Maybe you're better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller."

I read an article in my local newspaper about many newspapers going out of business and many on hard times and the papers blame the Internet and blogs, etc.
However, the author of the article points out that the newspaper editors are liberals and their customer base contains more conservatives than liberals. i.e. - who is more likely to read the newspaper, your local conservative or your local hippy? You local career woman or your local crack whore? Who is more likely to pay to advertise in the newspaper, a local business owner or a local blue collar worker? Who is more likely to own a successful business, a conservative or a liberal?
Point being, the liberal media gets most of it's viewership and especially advertising dollars from conservatives, not liberals.
Most liberals don't have any money, except those movie star bastards whom we should stop supporting by boycotting their products (and many conservatives to boycott the movies these days).
The media is in financial hard times not because of the Internet, but because they've been shitting on their financial supporters (conservatives) for generations and the conservatives are fedup.
And the the Internet gives conservatives an alternative to traditional media. So FU traditional media. The Internet also gives liberals (most of whom have no spare money) a free alternative to traditional media.
One of the 60 minutes guys was quoted complaining about amateaur journalists not being trustworthy, and hurting professonal journalism because it can't compete with free. I thinks ome amateuars are pretty good. In any case, how trustworthy are professionals?
So FU to the traditional media. May you go out of business soon. Without conservatives paying subscription and advertisement money, the traditional liberal media is in trouble. The dumbasses haven't yet learned which hand feeds them. It's the one they bite.
