    Now many in this forum will disagree with this, but if you are lower middle class making less than 29K a year this looks pretty good, even 50K at $840 a year that ALSO cover all dental....it's not a bad deal if you are currently paying out of pocket for sickness or bad teeth.

    We may not agree with it....but if you can't see the attraction; then we are really out of touch with many Americans would like to see happen.

    So I'm nuts for supporting ron Paul? No you are nuts for supporting communist Bernie sanders.

    If you think that selfishness and cruelty are fantastic personal traits, you might be a libertarian.
    This is a leftist talking point.


    There are a lot of libertarians in the Tea Party, but there are also a lot of repugnant, religious nuts and intolerant racists. “Birthers” found a comfy home among 9-11 conspiracy people and other crackpots.

    Please shut up moron!

    During Obama’s first term, I also went to graduate school for creative writing at progressive college, and I settled into my marriage with my wife, a Canadian and “goddamn liberal.” I can’t point to just one thing that pushed me left, but in Obama’s first term I had a change of heart, moving from a lifelong extreme into the bosom of conventional liberalism.

    You know what is funny I know a lot of people who liked obama before he become President & many of them switched to Ron Paul.

    A month before the 2012 election, I changed my party affiliation to Democrat. I am a very late bloomer, that it took me so many decades to develop my own values. I was thirty-nine.

    You joined the dark side!

    My combined employer/employee payments for a $#@!ty family plan with deductibles and limits so sky high as to be worthless, cost over $20,000 last year.

    There is no way that a working class family can pay $1000 a month for "insurance".

    Romney/Obamacare was designed to fail, to usher in single payer "medicare for all" schemes.

    Of course this plan has huge appeal...if they don't steal the nomination from him again, Sanders stands a good chance of winning.

    We've been invaded by 50-60 million high functioning retards, which, combined with our own native born retard class, thinks this is fine, and has no concept of the $48 trillion dollars of added cost in addition to the $25 trillion we already owe, that are the true annual costs of such a plan.

    Freedom is not popular.

    I think everyone can see that free stuff is popular. It’s the advanced knowledge and experience that tells people that nothing comes for free. If it’s too good to be true, it probably is. These are the lessons that a parent teaches a child so that they do not enter the world and become easy prey for con-men, shysters and charlatans. Communists take advantage of child-minded, ignorant people.

    Sadly for us, Sanders is not alone n this lunacy. This is why Ron Paul was such a special human being.

    BY SEN. RAND PAUL
    MARCH 10, 2014
    Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is a gross violation of that nation’s sovereignty and an affront to the international community. His continuing occupation of Ukraine is completely unacceptable, and Russia’s President should be isolated for his actions.

    It is America’s duty to condemn these actions in no uncertain terms. It is our role as a global leader to be the strongest nation in opposing Russia’s latest aggression.

    Putin must be punished for violating the Budapest Memorandum, and Russia must learn that the U.S. will isolate it if it insists on acting like a rogue nation.

    This does not and should not require military action. No one in the U.S. is calling for this. But it will require other actions and leadership, both of which President Obama unfortunately lacks.

    I recommend a number of specific and decisive measures to punish Putin for his ongoing aggression.

    Economic sanctions and visa bans should be imposed and enforced without delay. I would urge our European allies to leverage their considerable weight with Russia and take the lead on imposing these penalties. I would do everything in my power to aggressively market and export America’s vast natural gas resources to Europe.

    I would immediately remove every obstacle or current ban blocking the export of American oil and gas to Europe, and I would lift restrictions on new oil and gas development in order to ensure a steady energy supply at home and so we can supply Europe with oil if it is interrupted from Ukraine.

    Because of so many of our current needless laws and regulations, President Obama has left Europe completely vulnerable because of its dependence on Russian oil and gas.

    I would support immediate construction of the Keystone Pipeline.

    It is important that Russia become economically isolated until all its forces are removed from Crimea and Putin pledges to act in accordance with the international standards of behavior that respect the rights of free people everywhere.

    We should also suspend American loans and aid to Ukraine because currently these could have the counterproductive effect of rewarding Russia. Ukraine owes so much money to Russia that America would essentially be borrowing from China to give to Russia.

    The U.S. should suspend its participation in this summer’s G-8 summit and take the lead in boycotting the event in Sochi. If Putin’s troops remain in Crimea at the time of the summit, Russia should be expelled from the group.

    And this whole idea that the US is just this austere place and Europe takes care of their people. Here are the facts. Right from the New York Times. We spend more per as a share of GDP than Australia, Canada, Israel and Ireland
