Or one who has to deploy the "race card" to keep critics quiet! Little Speedo runs his life on polls. No original thinking. Just polls.I tend to be a bit skeptical of Polls. For one thing, I often wonder how the information for a Poll is obtained, who is offering the information and who is compiling the information for a specific Poll. I think a Poll is a rough guide because trends change and quite quickly sometimes.
The flaws in relying on polls include: defective/outdated samples, defective/biased questions, and defective/biased interpretations.
Example: John Kerry in 2004 relying on the exit polls in Ohio as "proof" he was winning. He went "home" to get ready for the victory party!
HillariousNoMore had her wine ready in the room to celebrate her "shoe in" victory over ..... THE PRESIDENT!
Speedo made the same ignorant mistake HillariousNoMore did .... watching defective polls. I realize he wants to change the subject, but there was NO BLUE WAVE ... The Republicans control the Senate ... A President ALWAYS prefers to control the Senate ... whatever stupid shit the House passes must get through the Senate, and all his appointments go through the Senate ..... even with the spurious allegations and whimpering by the "other party"! Besides look at the loudmouthed trash the "blue ripple" brought to the House. Some victory! Originally Posted by LexusLover

Medicare is a fantastic program. I have no idea what you have against it. iIt is NOT socialism. I have no problem with Medicare for All if it was economically feasible. It isn't. Medicaid helps those who need help. I have never used Medicaid but I most certainly support it. There are many people in this country who need a helping hand at times, not a handout, and I have no problem with part of my taxes going to help them.
I support Obamacare until something better is proposed to replace it. Republicans have had 9 years to come up with a superior plan and have failed to do so. Don't blame Democrats for that. And Obamacare is NOT socialism. If you believe that it is, you are once again showing your ignorance as to what is and what is not socialism.
I do disagree with Biden's statement that more clinics should be built around the country and imply that they would be only for illegal immigrants. I do support the spending of money to care for those illegal immigrants at the border. That is why Congress just approved $4.5 billion in part for that support. As requested by Trump.

This election is OVER. Republicans should start focusing on 2020. Unless a bomb hits between now and November 8th there is no way Trump can overcome the lead that Clinton has in the polls. For those of you who are still not believing the polls . . . we'll see in a handful of days how accurate they are.
Here's what Speedo PREDICTED!!!!!!!!!!! The "blue wave"!!!!!.... Originally Posted by LexusLover

SPEED do you read what you post...most of the time your posts are SOOOOOO convoluted..."I would be proud to be a socialist if I was one" WTF is that statement."I would be proud to be a socialist if I was one". Very simple. I am not a socialist. If you had any idea what socialism was and what my political views are, you would understand that. Since you assume anyone not supporting Trump is a socialist/possible Communist, I would expect you to have a hard time understanding that concept.
If you're proud of something BE THAT SOMETHING...I'M CONSERVATIVE AND PROUD OF IT...that's pretty simple.
I support conservative values period...I vote for ideology not a person...you might try it some time SPEED.
I guess you're like your buddy TM...he's a liberal/conservative and a socialist/capitalist...in other words he doesn't know what the fuck he is.
I don't know what socialism is...Obummercare, where you're forced to buy health insurance to cover the people who will cost the system more than they pay in.
Were the Gumment TELLS you what health insurance coverage you must purchase no matter the cost.
Where you can no longer choose your dr. and the cost every year skyrockets to cover the expenses of the high risk people who are no longer paying the actuarials that come with the risk. You say something in regards to showing ignorance??...DO TELL SPEED!!
As I said the Gumment doesn't belong in healthcare(socialism) under any circumstances...you seem to think so...Hummm socialism.
You seem to thing Medicare for all would be a good idea...if "it was economically feasible"...you'll find that where unicorns graze. Medicare for all IS COMPLETE GUMMENT CONTROL...congrads SPEED you're a socialist!!
I did mention in a previous post that this grand thing called Medicare is going insolvent sooner than expected.
I love the way you said..."congress just approved"...as always SPEED you conveniently left out that the Democraps did this kicking and screaming until they realized it wouldn't be to their political advantage not to do so.
The fad four voted against their colleagues and came up with their normal nonsensical psychobabble they are famous for. Originally Posted by bb1961

Since the campaign has just started and the Democratic nominee will be unknown for another year, the platform is yet to be finalized. However, here is the official 2019 platform:Most of that is quite vague and lame, speedy. Many Americans wouldn't object to most of it.
Raising wages, closing the wealth gap, strengthening Social Security
Lowering health care costs; ensuring all Americans have access to quality, affordable health care; stabilizing Medicare and Medicaid
Sensible immigration reform that keeps America’s promise
Defending our borders, our ideals, and our institutions
Supporting our veterans and military families
Fixing our criminal justice system to eliminate systemic racism
Guaranteeing rights for minorities, people with disabilities, the LGBTQ community, and all Americans
Acting to advance women’s rights, protect access to reproductive care, fight for equal pay, stop violence against women, and elect more women to public office
Protecting and promoting every American’s fundamental right to vote
Advancing clean energy and climate change action
Common-sense gun reforms
Smarter infrastructure investments
Advancing access to liberty and equality for all
Investing in modern education and jobs programs that prepare our kids for tomorrow’s challenges

Yes I went to public schools. Private colleges if that matters. If you want to compare educational backgrounds PM me and I'd be happy to do so. BTW, I've been very kind to you on grammatical and spelling errors you've made in your posts. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

Obamacare is NOT socialized medicine. Plain and simple. If you think so, again you do not understand what socialized medicine is. People have a choice. Under socialized medicine they don't have a choice. The VA system is socialized medicine.
"Socialized medicine is, by definition, a health care system in which the government owns and operates health care facilities and employs the health care professionals, thus also paying for all health care services."
And Medicare is NOT socialized medicine.
Take the time to read the following.

Methinks you forgot to add motherhood, apple pie and the flag to that platform lol.
Oh wait... the pro-abortion dims knocked out motherhood, the environmentalists shot down apple pie (uses insecticides), and Colin Kaepernick/BLM stripped out any reference to the flag!
Got it!
Besides, I don't trust the dims to keep their promises, even when they get more specific. Ten years ago, in an effort to pass the ACA, they promised illegal immigrants would not qualify for govt healthcare.
Ooops! Wtf happened? Did they lie? Sure seems like it. Originally Posted by lustylad

You don't trust Democrats to keep their promises. And Donald Trump has???? Give me a break. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

And yes, I have supplemental insurance to cover the costs that Medicare does not cover. I pay a whopping $10 a month for supplemental insurance. And that supplemental insurance pays for my gym membership so in reality the supplemental insurance costs me zero.
When healthcare and GUMMENT are intertwined and having to be implemented by the GUMMENT...WTF do you call that.
The entire legislation was terribly and completely flawed from the beginning. Chocked FULL of lies...you can keep your DR. and Obummer lied about that and that your premiums would decrease.
Isn't it strange how rates have skyrocketed for almost all people after this unconstitutional overreach was implemented.
How many people were happy with the healthcare until this garbage...many suffer so that a small minority call benefit...thank you GUMMENT!!
Yeah speed I'm not on Medicare yet but the people that I know on Medicare carry supplemental coverage to pay for a lot of what Medicare doesn't cover.
My insurance now is 60% more then before unACA...real coincidence. My deductible is 7k a year...and 7k premium 14k a year without any money being paid by my insurance...so much for affordable!!
I glade they did away with the unconstitutional "mandate" and now I pray that the days are numbered on this. Wasn't this passed as the mandate not being a tax when it was ruled a tax...WTF, pretty shady dealings.
The Gumment doesn't belong in our healthcare...PERIOD.
The less the Gumment is involved in our the better. Originally Posted by bb1961
