I know it pisses you off when I call you out on the facts, like your most recent "letter from Cantor" (or those other recent posts of yours I referenced)...it makes your partisanship and ignorance of the facts public for all to see.

And you know it too...and perhaps one day you will man-up and acknowledge that facts, even those that I cite, are more credible than the incessant snips you contribute.

And maybe once, you will actually contribute something constructive to a discussion here.

All I said was that he made some interesting points. That does not make one "partisan", although you continue to try.

Careful, your narcissistic personality is beginning to show through in your posts...

I do so. Every day I post...

Ahem, I know you're fairly new and all, but...this really belongs in the Cellar Dreamin' thread.

This is the dreaming thread, we are talking about the plans to rham through a failed healthcare bill.

Touche.

Washington (CNN) - Multiple advisers to President Obama have privately told party officials that they believe Democrat Martha Coakley is going to lose Tuesday’s special election to fill the Massachusetts Senate seat held by the late Ted Kennedy for more than 40 years, several Democratic sources told CNN Sunday.

The sources added that the advisers are still hopeful that Obama's visit to Massachusetts on Sunday - coupled with a late push by Democratic activists - could help Coakley pull out a narrow victory in an increasingly tight race against Republican state Sen. Scott Brown.

However, the presidential advisers have grown increasingly pessimistic in the last three days about Coakley's chances after a series of missteps by the candidate, sources said.

But White House spokesman Bill Burton told CNN: "The President is in Massachusetts today because he believes Martha Coakley is the right person for the job and indeed will be the next senator from Massachusetts."

I find this difficult to believe. With so much on the line is there any way the D's will lose this race?

[classicman]

I tell you what, if I lived in Massachusetts I'd try to vote 10 times. I don't know if they'd let me or not, but I'd try to. Yeah, that's right. I'd cheat to keep these bastards out. I would. 'Cause that's exactly what they are.

Interesting. I would've thought this was a Faux type of move, not MSNBC?

I just went to the doctor and paid cash. They were nice about it too.

I think for minor things it is a trend that could catch on.

I mean. who would'a thunk it! Cash for services unbelievable

[TheMercenary]

I would be cool with that as long as the cash price was no more than what insurance would have paid them, but that is not usually the case, at least not in the case of a hospital, surgeon, or anesthesia service.

Well he was my surgeon and I didn't pay more than $200. I was expecting a $300 dollar charge and hoping it wasn't going to be around $500. It makes me realize how much I did not examine my insurance statements when I had it.

so
He was very caring and gave me cipro drops for my ear for free. I'll go back in three months. A hearing test will be an added charge at that time which to me seems to be a test I do not think is needed.

I think my inner ear is fine. (Says me)

[classicman]

Good for you. Ask your Doc if there is a clinic that does the test free.

Yea, that was my point anyway. People act like Fox is some kind of big bad wolf and I would submit they are all pretty much the same. I think CNN has started to move back to the middle on their reporting and I appreciate that.
