Candidates are wary of debates and want to make sure they control the optics and reach....In NNY there is little folo up coverage or analysis of whatever meager debates are held. It would take a major faux pas to break thru and do damage....
Both Mr. Owens and opponent Matt Doheny are solid enough talkers to hold their own.
The mystery is will the duopolistic media barons exclude Green Party candidate Donald Hassig.
I am sure they will.
And besides, you don't do favors for people too indigent to buy air time.
I hope to attend the debate in Fine.
Owens planning for at least three debates
12 comments:
How will they rig up a mike and camera under Nancie's desk? The lighting will be difficult. Has Owens/Pelosi thought this through? She must have.
Debates will hurt Doheny, but not enough to over come the hate many of us feel toward the democrats and especially the communist working family party.
Hassig has too be included.
Hoffman was included befor.
Debate all they want. The bottom line is Owens voted for Obamacare, the most financially destructive piece of legislation ever passed in our history by the Fed-pukes.
As many reservations as I might have about Matt, it's still no contest. Doheny gets my vote.
9:48 While it is financially destructive it is just as important to mention that it destroys healthcare too.
I mean you won't just be writing checks or getting laid off. At some time you will want to get medical care I am sure. And it won't be there.
To sum it up:
Obamcare/nancycare/Owenscare did nothing to solve the litany of problems in our healthcare system. Instead it makes them worse and much much much more expensive.
2:45,
Absolutely right. I have a freind in his mid-70's who will be going for back surgery shortly. The doctor whom he is seeing has a person working there who was/is Canadian. She told my friend that if he lived in Canada, He would never get the surgery because he would be considered too old and not worth the expense. I can't verify that other than what my friend told me. I can verify a Canadian who was buying a can of chew at the store where my wife works and he was amazed at how low the price was. My wife says "What?!" he explained that a can of tobacco in Canada was $17. THAT'S how they pay for health care in Canada, he told her. Tax everything that can be taxed and tax it to the max. This is what our grandchildren have to look forward to.

“I can't verify that other than what my friend told me…”
Interesting, because I have a friend of a friend of a friend who’s third cousin twice removed who lives in Canada, whose 74 year old husband discovered he needed quadruple by-pass surgery, they called two days later and he had the surgery the day after that. Like you -- I can’t verify other than what my friend told me.
But I can verify that the overwhelming majority of Canadians prefer their system over ours:
“Put into an international perspective, however, Canada’s system looks to be relatively well liked. A 2011 Gallup Poll found that 57 percent of Canadians felt “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with their access to health care services (in the United States, that number stood at just 25 percent). […]

Anymore antidotal stories?
I have an anecdotal story...99% of bath salt users are happy with their bath salts.
That means nothing about the quality of bath salts or the wizdumb of the users.
The ObumbaCare debate was simply about one thing. Would you like to get something for free? There were more people, voters, who wanted FreeStuff than there were people who would be in position to pay for it, other voters. The crowd of Dannie types who get everything for free anyway didn't have a dog in that fight, so they really didn't care. They could preach the emotion BS and not worry about it. Same with government employees. They pay $50 a month, teachers, much less than that. Why should they care. So you got it, folks. Now you can enjoy the same level of crap care that the world enjoys. In a few short years you won't remember what you had. Old people will be waiting in line and getting nothing, and thugs will be at the emergency room, just as they were before. But they will have fewer forms to fill out. And media will have our First Black President smeared all over out kids' history books as the man that made it possible. With little heros too, like the guy under Nancie's desk from Plattsburg.
5:16 you are way off the mark.
Obama care did not even pass. Because people were not buying it.
They broke the rules to pass it.
they must of threatened the CBO to make them tell the obvious lie that it was revenue neutral.
they must of threatened the CJOTSC to make it hold up.
From the get go there was a tax on Cadillac plans. That is not about free stuff, that is about taking away from people with good middle class government jobs and redistributing it.
That is what it is all about...redistribution.
It doesn't address costs
it doesn't address shortages of available care
it doesn't address frivolous lawsuit.
It doesn't address the inefficiencies in the system.
I understand your points, 11:51. Unfortunately, after the Bum's reelection in November, there won't be much chance of it being repealed. The perception is it is Free. People think it gives them something. They think someone else will pay. They don't understand the consequences. So it be law.
3:41, that is a beautiful thing you said. Congrats.
