Dignified death in the wings

Posted Tue, Feb 10, 12:50 p.m.

From over 50 years in health care I know there are many situations where physicians are helping patients end their lives. I voted for the law so that the decisions will be made by the patient, not surreptitiously with family members. But what also has to be addressed is that ...

Memories of assassinations, 45 years after JFK

Posted Fri, Nov 21, 11:08 a.m.

Ted, You are in denial. Obama was elected because of his race. The DNC males-only-for-high-offices, anti-Clinton establishment stripped black voters from her who abandoned her in droves even though they and the public know little about Obama except what came from a fawning press. Add the glamour of a black ...

Gov. Sarah Palin, Democrat

Posted Thu, Oct 23, 11:54 a.m.

Thanks John, Beautiful! I am a Democrat who caucused for Jackson in '88, Kucinich in '04, Clinton in '08, a card-carrying Planned Parenthood, ACLU member, but I am voting for McCain-Palin. She is the quintessential woman and that scares a lot of people - including women.

The Democrats off balance and off message

Posted Mon, Sep 15, 1:17 p.m.

RE: Palin More Qualified Than Obama: His comment about lipstick on a pig in the context of his speech was clearly a reference to Gov. Palin. Watch the video - the audience got it, gasped and then laughed, much like the black audience when Obama's priest friend was vilifying Hillary ...

The Democrats off balance and off message

Palin More Qualified Than Obama: Gov. Sarah Palin is as qualified as many other VPs have been in the past, and more so than Obama is for President. She has executive experience, which he does not. He may have more legislative experience (in Ill) but that is not the same ...

Now, every governor is a 'commander'

Posted Tue, Sep 9, 3:27 p.m.

Usual red herrings from Obamabots.: No one is equating commander of Ntl guard with military experience. It's part of the executive's responsibilities to be informed about security that in her case has international ramifications. She is probably in briefings with her officers and is knowledgable about the strengths and limitations ...

Now, every governor is a 'commander'

Posted Tue, Sep 9, 9:55 a.m.

Laugh all you want...: but Gov. Palin Commands the National Guard of a state with a coastline that borders the North Pacific and worrisome neighbors like North Korea and Russia who will get to Alaska before they get to Delaware. Give it up Knute...your guys are political wimps by any ...

The high price of Sarah Palin's candidacy

Posted Tue, Sep 2, 9:45 a.m.

Palin: What nonsense. The timing of the announcement (start of convention, hurricane watch) suggests the pregnancy was known to the McCain team. It would be dealt with in the context of a supportive group at the convention and they can have more control of the message. (It will also probably ...
