A sneak preview of BarryCare’s “death panels” – in book form, distributed to….one of the Left’s favorite demonizable demographics:     Evidently, “supporting the troops” includes “doctors hav[ing] to discuss end-of-life decisions whe…

Either Mrs. Duckworth’s eyes have deteriorated since then, or someone she was connected to fudged her vision tests to allow to be a pilot.

Given her political advancements, first given by Rod Blagoevich, then by Barry Obama, I’m guessing someone fudged her results or pulled some strings for her to become a pilot. Given that assumption Mrs. Duckworth endangered her bird and the lives of her crew by not being medically qualified to operate that aircraft.

Its HR3200. There is a version in the Senate too.

Too bad the foundation for Wallace’s accusations is pure lies.

Other than the complete falsehoods, it’s another great day for journalism on Fox News!

Uh, wrong, you tard. Wallace’s point was that the VA was denying that they were referencing the booklet in any form whatsoever. This was clearly not the case. The VA was continuing to offer it as an option to recommend to veterans.

Other than the complete falsehoods, it’s another great day for journalism on Fox News!

After the Bush White House took a look at how this document was treating complex health and moral issues, the VA suspended its use. Unfortunately, under President Obama, the VA has now resuscitated “Your Life, Your Choices.”

Bush did know about it.

I thought there was a required reading comprehension test in order to become a poster here.

“After the Bush White House took a look at how this document was treating complex health and moral issues, the VA suspended its use.”

Yes, Bush found out about it and stopped it, according to the quoted article. As opposed to “knew about it and did nothing.”

Don’t be too hard on Duckworth; she sacrificed a great deal for her country and is now being used as a tool by Obumma and lead henchman, Rahmbo. Let’s be thankful we still have journalists like Chris Wallace, who believe in holding the powerful accountable and know the craft of letting politicians and thier flunkies expose themselves for the liars they are.

Duckworth claimed that the law requires VA to keep the book on the website?????

Then either the VA is breaking the law and/or Duckworth is a liar on top of being a traitor to the vets.

When you think about it, it is an absurd claim to make that there is a law that specifically calls for the death book to be online.

It has not been pulled. The link in my post at the bottom of page 1 still works.

I’m getting page not found.

So if it really has been pulled does that mean that the law has changed or that Duckworth was lying?

We’ll see plenty of those.

Handicapped children, for example, are very expensive, and could live for 70-80 years.

Luckily, the government is able to keep emotion out of the calculus, thus saving the country billions.

Hey, that’s what big government is there for.

Oh the irony and complete hypocrisy…
