But, this is the new face of the Democrats, Medicare for all, no Borders, pro-abortion, increase taxes, take our guns, more handouts

Medicare for all - maybe

No borders - inaccurate-nope what is the democrats plan to secure our borders??? Sensors and drones-stupid and you know it.

Pro-Abortion - maybe, but more like no my decision,- not your decision, Governor Cuomo's and the two left coasts.

Increase taxes - how do you expect to pay for the wall? Funny, but all the illegal immigrants the democrats will allow in need a place to live, food, educations...you know the drill

Take our guns - no, absolutely semi-automatic guns, listen to your gal, K. Harris, that's the beginning, then we end like Nazi Germany.

More handouts - both sides give stuff out. Not like democrats, they gave out my social security!!

And we have a new player!!!

If the Ds are for open borders, show me the link.

Abortion is settled law.

Increase taxes - you don't like our immigration policy, fix it. Kicking the can doesn't fix it. Nothing to do with taxes.

Guns - not one thing has happened to gun rights since the Rs started crying about BHO taking them away.

You do understand the the Rs aren't fiscally conservative....if not, stick around and you can get some learning.

We have a new player- you’re funny and pompous, must think you’re the thread genius! I’ll just make one point, because arguing with liberals is a boring endeavor. Abortion is settled law-is what’s going on in New York and Virginia okay with you?

Specifically, what is the question....

NY and VA have passed bills allowing third trimester abortions, VA was discussing yesterday that even if the baby is born, they could still kill the baby. I certainly can empathize with people who have to make gut wrenching decisions because of abnormalities with their child, but the language contains other words like emotional stress. SO, they've expanded the definition of abortion to include the last 3 months, at this point you're dealing with a developed child. In my mind it is infanticide. Democratic Governor-NY, Democratic Governor-Virginia...Democratic position! Do you support this?

at the end of the day, what matters most, is what kind of cut does your wife see out of that $1500, per procedure?

Similar to a relative who wanted to be a mechanic, got trained and worked at the BMW dealer for three years, getting a laughable hourly wage of $15 an hour, while charging TLD's neighbors (fairfield county) bmw owners $165 an hour. That $150 remaining goes to overhead?

THIS.....is part of what is wrong with this country.

Really? Thought that was capitalism, free markets, and small biz ownership.

Sad, if you actually believe that.

Paul Weiss, et al, gave Kamalia Harris some sweet coin in her paltry fundraising efforts. ($20 million, way more than others )
Is this the same law firm that the NY times called out for LACK of diversity?

Paul, Weiss, with its 144 partners and about 1,000 lawyers, is, in fact, more diverse at the partner level than most of its peers. It has more African-American partners with an ownership stake, six, than a large majority of the country’s 200 biggest firms, and far more than elite competitors like Cravath, Debevoise & Plimpton and Davis Polk. We can all do better.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/31/opin ... e=Homepage

"Harris is very much a product of the highly educated progressive coastal elite. Her father is a professor at Stanford. Her mother, who was a breast cancer researcher, got her Ph.D. at 25. Harris grew up with ballet, violin, French horn and perfectionism.

She went to a prestigious school (Howard), was president of various student organizations and got great internships (Federal Trade Commission, U.S. Senate) before going to law school, zooming up the political ladder and marrying a partner at a prestigious law firm. She is famously comfortable in rooms of the very wealthy.

But in deciding to work as a prosecutor — rather than going to a law firm — Harris was immersing herself in the gritty world the rest of the achievatrons were rising away from. Working as a prosecutor put her in touch with a world in which brothers sexually abuse their 6-year-old sisters, in which a man literally scalps his girlfriend in a domestic dispute, in which parents are too financially stressed and personally strained to have the time to make sure their kids go to school.

The criminal justice system is an adversarial system, and it seems to have trained her in the art of confrontation. She developed what Benjamin Wallace-Wells of The New Yorker called an “eye for an enemy” — the ability to spot the villain in any situation.

In her memoir, “The Truths We Hold,” she describes her political campaigns as a series of hard-fought battles against tough foes. She ran for San Francisco district attorney against her former boss, whose nickname was Kayo (pronounced “K.O.”), for all the people he knocked out. But she beat him.

Gary Delagnes, a former head of the city’s police union, told Politico that he was standing at a party before that campaign when Harris put a finger in his chest and said: “You better endorse me, you better endorse me. You get it?” Delagnes interpreted that as: I’m going to be a player here. You better get on board. He went on to tell Politico: “She’s an intelligent person. She is a — let’s see, I better pick this word carefully: ruthless.”

Harris was a beneficiary of the machine of the California political giant Willie Brown, who she briefly dated. Brown appointed her to the Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and the California Medical Assistance Commission, both of which paid comfortable salaries.

That association has haunted her over the years, but Harris made it clear at one forum that there is no way she’s going to bend if Brown or his allies try to influence her. “You just make them understand that if they’re going to try to hurt you, they’re going to get hurt more.”

The comments to the online article are pretty interesting.

You can keep your doctor, you just may have to pay him directly and accept what the insurance company gives you...

What happens when your current doc makes the decision to no longer accept Medicare patients. Then what are you going to do?
