I understand Palin is taking a job with Fox. Could it be about the money?
Was it always? Fox is very biased and has been coming under fire for their extreme right wing views, not news just opinions. She certainly picked the money card with the book and the Fox deal. Thinking about what is best for the US don't think so, thinking how to make the most money I do believe.
I'd go on TV and dis my momma if the pay was right.:cool::rolleyes::oQuote:

What a waste of money:eek:
Are there many Canadians who want to do away with the medical system you have there and adopt one like ours?
How DARE she follow in the footsteps of James Carville, George Stephanopolous and others.Quote:

If it was former VP candidate Steve Palin making the same moves, not a word would be said.
Pat, there is a movement afoot to make for-profit services available, and some of it is in place.
For example - my new doc wants me to have a sleep study. I can wait 8 months to a year for the detailed overnight one, which is paid for by the government insurance - or I can do a short one where I bring the test machine home for $183 and change. They were able to take me in two days from the time they called me - I had to make it later, to Monday.
But no, to have it ALL for-profit? A lot of people would suffer, and would even die here.
The only concern with a for-profit element here is that the better doctors and others would work for the profit system, and the public system would be inferior. That is NOT fair.

We shake or heads and wonder how anyone could believe the dripple of lies they tell.
Just please give me the facts I am intelligent enough to make up my own mind, I don't need Fox to tell me how or what to believe, I can think on my own, I can research facts on my own. God gave me free will, a brain and I use it.
I don't think you would find many.

If you laugh and scream at the TV, that's hardly watching it, so to make such a judgment is unreasonable. It may be a conservative station but the rest of the stations are liberal, so what's the problem?Quote:
