The right loves to use to use the supposed logic that you sometimes have to play the game to overthrow the game.

Not to mention her personal largesse of hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars in the form of farm subsidies and Medicare payments to her hub's "clinic."

Of course, she's "deserving." God told her so.

The rest of us? Not so much.

I'm not shocked at all. I already had heard she pushed for farm subsidies.

Wow, what a compelling argument.

Yes, it would be hard to take you seriously. However we have posters here on Medicare who oppose health care for all, and other government programs that benefit society in general. It may make sense to people like you, but it certainly doesn't to me.

So? I'm conservative/libertarian and I've been living on an NSF grant for 3 years. It's available, it's legal, and I wish it would disappear.

Mental gymnastics, perfect 10! That's all I can say to her defenders.

Seems some forget video is everywhere and that's a GOOD thing.

So as long as you can benefit from it, but screw everyone else? Nice.

Sorry that you read it that way. That was not my intention.
