1. The poster is the one with the authority to restrict replies to registered users, not the PW.

3. Thank you for providing the phone numbers so those in favor of the plan can call to voice their support as well.

I just gotta laugh when I hear the PW called "leftwing"! The PW has had a Chamber of Commerce, business orientation since its inception. I sure don't think anyone would dare call the Chamber of Commerce a "leftwing" political organization!

As far as health care reform goes, maybe we should all join Rush Limbaugh in Costa Rica if the bill doesn't pass since Costa Rica has one of the best run national health care systems in the world. I guess that's why so many Americans are either retiring there, or just visiting in order to take advantage of their medical and low cost care when having elective surgery. As Cholo might say, "Viva Costa Rica!"

VIVA COSTA RICA! VIVA!

ps I have heard from a reliable source that the reason rushy visits CR frequently is because he has a secret m..e lover!

PING!

Now you see why a poster restricts comments to registered users

Vladimir Lenin: “Socialized Medicine is the Keystone..." appears in the right wing internet sites. It also appears another of one those phony made up comments by them.

Goes to show the insecurity of the right wing...

If I may humbly quote the most influential man of the 20th century:

"The streets of our country are in turmoil. The universities are filled with students rebelling and rioting. Communists are seeking to destroy our country...and the Republic is in danger. Yes - danger from within and without. We need law and order! Without it our nation cannot survive."

Bill,

It's well-known that your Lenin quote is a fabrication from sixty years ago. If you're going to act like a tool, at least be a sharp one.

Please note that the post above by "Pleasanton Mom" from "Another Pleasanton Neighborhood" is not me. Must be another Pleasanton Mom -that's OK - but it's not me.

I don't think they care that it was made up as long as it serves their need.

Seems that 87% of the people who post on the Weekly Forum regularly are most clearly to the right. Occasionally a more sensible folk will post for a few days and get tired of all the ongoing nonsense, rudeness etc.

Really, all the PR Patriot Radicals have been doing is ranting to themselves. This is still considered a tiny fringe radical movement with hardly a sensible voice or far reach.

A most laughable lot at best.

You Patriot Radical Patriot must wear our silent protest wristbands at this event, but do not be silent, no one will notice the hypercritical nature of our group as the liberal are just too stupid in this town.

P.S. Our cost has gone up to 3 cents a peace on these wristbands and they are all over America. At three dollars a pop, we hardy need to do any counseling any longer, so we can focus on what's important.

P.S.S. I know more than anyone about the HealthCare reform bill, I just don't know how to write Health-Care! ;-)
