Oh brother. Now you guys aren't even bothering to read my posts before replying.

Go look at it again - I said, "***IF*** you can do it..."

Seriously. You guys are making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Not really, if a woman wants to get elected giving people the impression she can wind back the clock to a happy simpler time and that will solve all their problems then she needs to be called on it. She's only addressing one facet of the problem, much like both sides only address certain aspects of problems that are convenient for their party bases. The Dems do it too.

Its just like the Republican solution of just tort reform and buying insurance across state lines, in order to curb health care costs. There are so many other aspects of the problem theat they aren't addressing that it isn't really a solution. Just like those people that think a public option will solve all our problems, or insurance mandate will solve our problems.

There is no one simple solution that can improve things for millions of Americans. Problems are complex and interconnected with one another. This woman is (and most of our leaders) want to dupe the public into thinking that we can just make a nice simple change and every thing will be all better. Its simply not true and she needs to be called on it.

Like I said in earlier posts, I'm fine with bartering, but she should be bringing up other things, addressing the problems that this will face (like I stated in other posts student loan debt, labs etc.). She can't give people the impression that just bartering will fix all of the problems of rising healthcare costs and that given all of the medical advances we have made, the clock can simply be wound back.

You're talking as if she said that bartering was the only thing required to turn around the issue of health care affordability. She didn't. It was one suggestion - an example of one way that some people can work to bring their own costs down, and I can tell you from experience, it works. Heck, just look around CraigsList - you see tons of people wanting to trade and barter goods and services. It's not a far fetched, outdated or "idiotic" idea.

Anyway, I'm done with this thread. Y'all are attacking just to attack. The smear is about as baseless as anything I've ever seen, and I'm not going to waste any more time telling you all things that you already know but won't admit because it doesn't serve the goal of discrediting Reid's opponent.

BTW, none of it will work. Nevadans have had it with that scumbag, and come November, he's fired.

I wonder if Republicans will let me trade chickens for my tax bill? Will the electric company also accept chickens? Wait, you mean for real expenses people pay with cold hard cash and not chickens?
