What produces RUTHLESS DICTATORS?

The Administration plan would offer every American broad and balanced health protection through one of three major programs:

--The employee health insurance would cover most Americans and be available through their jobs. The cost would be shared by employers and employees on a fair basis.

--An improved Medicare plan would cover those 65 and over and would include additional medical costs and benefits not included under the current Medicare system.

--The assisted health insurance plan would cover low-income Americans and persons who would be ineligible for the other two programs, with the Federal and State governments paying those costs which are beyond the means of the individual insured.

The medical care offered by these three plans would be identical for all Americans regardless of age or income. Benefits would be provided for hospital care, physicians' care in and out of the hospital, prescription and lifesaving drugs, laboratory tests and X-rays, medical devices, ambulance services, and many other forms of health care.

There would be no exclusions from coverage based on the nature of the illness. A person with heart disease, for example, would qualify for benefits just as would a person with kidney disease.

Well, I live in America, and I am not being hoodwinked by Obama's use of language. Are you?

For all libs, I am not claiming Obama is a murderer, but I am claiming he lies and misrepresents the truth, and I am not falling for it. Not a sucker, as his followers are.

Small problem for you, some of the policies of the Nazis, as spelled out in the 25 points, are socialist principles, beliefs, or policies. I explained that to you on Page 2.

Nixon was not even a conservative in many ways. We knew this at the time.

I know. That's why he was one of the better ones. I think his enduring legacy was to end the draft. That alone tempts me to for give him for Watergate, although I like his starting up the EPA, too.

Don't forget price controls, that is not conservative either, and you probably would have loved that too.

You leftists all hate Nixon because of the Rosenbergs, you just never got over it, did you?

I was a supporter of Goldwater, dys. I would have voted for him over Nixon, but I was even more opposed to LBJ or Humphrey, or McGovern, etc. Perhaps you think LBJ of Gulf of Tonkin fame was more honest than Nixon? Or maybe you loved his daisy girl ad that was used to scare the bejeebers out of voters?

I think those who have worked as civil servants in government in the 60s, 70s, and 80s would mostly say that we have had much worse Presidents than Nixon was. Certainly he did have some significant accomplishments during his tenure. He and Kissinger showed significant skill in difficult foreign relationsips.

Nixon and Obama did share one important trait. Both prefered a solitary approach to decision making and both circumvented traditional roles in government in favor of conducting as much policy from the White House as possible. It was likely precedence that Nixon started that let Obama's reign become the Presidency of the Czars with so little criticism.

well gosh Okie, I'm glad to know that, however you seem to ignore what I when I noted Barry Goldwater called Nixon the most dishonest man he ever met. I said nothing re Johnson. Nice segue though Okie, I assume you're learning that from Foxfyre (the queen of segue as avoidence)

I was just placing Nixon into context, dys, after all you quoted Goldwater as saying Nixon was the "most dishonest" man he had ever met, and I thought that took in alot of territory, so I thought it would be very pertinent to compare Nixon to other politicians like LBJ, etc. Dishonesty was not unique to Nixon in the group of presidents.
