You missed the point entirely, went defensive and went with the irrelevant. The experiment was about saying something which WAS NOT complimentary and watch what happens. You twisted this into something it isn't, about the Right. I know what they are. It isn't about them going on about her at all. It's about the inability to rationalize and discuss. You just went there yourself. If people cannot have a discussion about their positions but have to deflect onto the opposition no matter what that might be then they are pretty screwed because there can be no discussion of substance.

You merely want to discuss "what if's" instead of what is.

Trickle down economics? It's been trickle down for a long time. The Left is using the cover of political correctness to hide their capitalism and government trickle down economic policies.

Wait. Government trickle down actually works. The top .01% feared this and tricked a bunch of you into thinking it was private money that would trickle down.

There must be a balance. I guarantee I pay more in taxes then you. Don't be scared homie. We dont tax stay at home retard masturbators very much.

The thing is, insurance companies can and do deny "frivolous use" of emergency room already. If you go to ER for a scratch your insurance company will not cover that. My company spells it out very clearly during open enrollment every year. And I believe @Engineer posted just a few weeks ago about his insurance company denying emergency room coverage for his daughter because they did not deem it necessary enough.

The financial disincentive to stop unnecessary ER usage is already there. And it's big, Engineer's bill came out to be $17K. I really do not see how making frivolous use of ER illegal is going to help the situation. All it's going to do is add more regulatory cost without remedying the situation.


Because if someone comes into and ER and says "I have a cold" the ER can say to go elsewhere and deny care in limited instances. It's not about payment it's about tying up resources. Now if you are unable to pay that's a different thing. I've seen it.

I provided you a means to test what is.

By all means don't consider the future and the trends which exist. Defend and ignore if that is your inclination. That's the American Way.

You provide distraction into discussing the past, not the future. If libs are inclined to dismiss criticism of Hillary at this point it's because she's done, out of contention for an elected leadership role.

It's entirely peripheral to the subject at hand, anyway.

He just wants to get his bullshit "Both Sides" false equivocation talking points in.

The subject is one who is on "your" side claiming that Mueller is a stooge of Trump. The importance is is something else entirely.

Note you just made the left into a monolithic bloc, speaking for all of them. You haven't addressed irrational behavior as shown by thoughtless opinions and conclusions as seen with Mueller.

The tendency is to justify a side and disregard the behavior. Who does what is at least as important as the thing itself.

That is a large part of how we got where we are. Note this is a general comment, not you specifically.

The inability to apply a consistent metric to "self" and "not self" has been a plague on humanity since time immemorial.

Who says it's a change of direction?

Mueller has an army working on multiple fronts. Podesta shouldn't be out of bounds either if he's another treason weasel on Putin's payroll.

Remember that Watergate was a long investigation. It will take time and this is a much bigger scope.

But yes, Dems need to keep eyes on the prize in 18. Shouldn't count on anyone bailing them out. At the very least will have Pres Pence to battle, and he's only a third of the half wit Trump is.
