What’s the number-one women’s health issue, in terms of publicity?

It’s breast cancer. The pink breast cancer awareness ribbons became fashion statements in the 1990s. Hundreds of marches took place every year promoting "breast cancer awareness." Constant public service ads urge women to get regular mammograms because early diagnosis can save lives.

Well, here’s meat of this post — According to a report published in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers at Brown and Harvard universities found that women will not get tested if they have to pay for it!

You heard right: Breast cancer screening rates are dramatically lower when women have to contribute a "co-payment."

We’re not talking a lot of money here, folks; I mean, most insurance plans ask for a $20 co-pay. But even when the payment is as little as $12, there are significant drops in the number who get screened. So the researchers advocate the elimination of all co-payments! 

Of course!

Every liberal on the campaign trail has a plan to deliver free — socialized — medicine. But no country on earth, can possibly pay for every test for everybody without going bankrupt. Yet, as this study demonstrates, the entitlement mentality is so pervasive regarding health care that even 12 bucks is too high a price to save your life for people who are already insured!

If it’s not free, it’s not worth it?

I’m a woman. I would work my ass off to save 12 – 20 bucks to save my life yearly.

For those without insurance; that’s what state and community based organizations to help facilitate patient testing,

The last thing we need is more "entitlements". This "can’t do" mentality will surely encourage the liberals and democrats, but what will it do to our country?

Walter Shorenstein is upset over the complaints or the perceived press bias in favor of Barack Obama. In his memo, Shorenstein concurred with the Clinton campaign’s assessment. He says, “I’m absolutely outraged with the media coverage of the presidential campaign. This is the most important election of my long lifetime, and to quote one of my favorite movies, ‘I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore.'” He’s talking about the movie ‘Network‘. “There’s too much on the line for the media to ignore important issues while they obsess about Hillary’s hairdo or Barack’s baritone,” Shorenstein continued. “Is it in the country’s best interests that voters receive far more information about Hillary’s laugh than Obama’s legislative record? Is it good for our nation that more attention is paid to the differences in their speaking style than their health care plans?”

Hillary whining about media bias?

Hey, Walter, your problem, is that there isn’t that much of a difference between them in policy, and so these are the only distinctions that people can make. She just isn’t cutting it when it comes to the public speaking stuff and this little thing called charisma. He’s got it. She does not.

Here’s a liberals complaining to fellow libs, the Media.

Hey, Walter, what’s doing you in here is all of the years of affirmative action and quotas and two different systems of how to treat people based on their skin color. You have asked, that minorities be given a little help or maybe a step or two up the ladder. Certainly we can’t be critical of them, because it will make people racist. So everything you liberals have advocated for all these years is coming home to roost in this campaign.

We have one aspect of Democrat liberal politics, which is feminism, and it’s up against the racial coalitions of the Democrat Party. And you know what the Democrats are finding out?

Gotta laugh at this, too

This is what has Gloria Steinem all upset. It’s frankly much easier, more fashionable, and less harmful to be sexist than it is racist. This is what’s showing through in the campaign.

Don’t you love this?

Where do you think these media people have gone to learn how to do this? Places like Walter Shorenstein’s place up at Harvard. This is exactly what I’m talking about here, by keeping Hillary in this. Now you’ve got liberals beating up on liberals about press coverage?

Whoa. Love this.

By the way, Walter, how come we never heard from you on press coverage and bias when your buddies from Harvard and the Shorenstein Center and everybody else in the Media was trying to destroy George Bush in the last five years? How come when it involves Republicans, there’s no such thing as press bias? There are plenty of examples.

Now, when his candidate that can’t keep up on her own everybody’s at fault in that campaign but her. She continues to escape any blame for it, and so to see these guys now start complaining, Hillary’s people complaining about media coverage…

You gotta love it, folks, you just have to eat it up.

There’s a big controversy over what happened on the Outlook pages of the Washington Post. A column that was written by a woman, Charlotte Allen, and the headline — “We Scream, We Swoon, How Dumb Can We Get?”

She’s talking about women swooning and fainting in Obama audiences and so forth, and how this looks bad for feminism and so forth. It really caused quite an outrageous reaction, and, in fact, they changed the headline.

The original headline was, “We Scream, We Swoon, How Dumb Can We Get?” They changed the headline: “We Scream, We Swoon, Why Do We Look So Dumb?”

And now the editor at the Washington Post Outlook section, “It was a parody, it was tongue-in-cheek.”

Oh, Really?

Let me give you the delegate math here.

If Clinton and Obama basically tie in the remaining 12 contests, Obama would need 164 superdelegates to come his way to put him over the magic number of 2,024. Because of what happened yesterday, this contest is assured to go another three months to Puerto Rico on June 7th. There is no way that either one of these two candidates is going to wrap up the number of delegates by Puerto Rico.

What about Florida and Michigan?

Well, I don’t know when it’s going to happen, but I would bet that we get Florida and Michigan redo’s. “But, you can’t disenfranchise all those voters. It’s just not right, we can’t do it.”

Just remember, there are no rules in the Democrat Party; there are only customs and traditions.

There are no rules, and therefore there are no rules to break. There are customs, traditions. And, of course, one of the great Democrat traditions, one of the great Democrat customs is every vote counts, at least twice, and sometimes three times. It’s a great custom.

There are 611 delegates up for grabs in the remaining 12 Democrat contests. Obama is estimated by ABC News now to have 1,555 of those delegates. That means that he would need to win 77% of all the remaining pledged delegates to hit the magic number of 2,024 to secure the nomination. This is “highly unlikely, due to the proportional delegate allocation rules” in the Democrat Party. Hillary would need to win 94% of all the remaining pledged delegates to hit the magic number of 2,024. She’s estimated to have 1,449 delegates now, by ABC News. So, neither of them — neither of them — can get there in the primary process.

…so they’re going to have to rely on superdelegates — and that’s going to be even more fun! And then they might have to go back and redo Florida, might have to go back and redo Michigan, any number of things, ladies and gentlemen.

So the chaos will continue.

After last night… well, Obama has got big problems coming up. The Rezko trial, that’s going to be big. That started this week. They’re impaneling a jury, going to be a drip, drip, sort of information coming out about the guy that Obama was involved with buying his house. Obama hasn’t had a bunch of negative stuff thrown his way before; it’s just now starting, and it’s going to be fascinating to see how this all plays out.

Would it be fair, to suggest that Mrs. Clinton is in a quagmire?

Damn right! It is definitely fair because it’s imminently accurate. She is in a quagmire. She needs to win 97% of the remaining delegates. She can’t do it. Obama needs to win 77%. He can’t do it, but he’s got a better chance than she does. But she’s certainly not going to win 97% of the remaining delegates in the pledged delegates.

So we can say that Hillary is in a quagmire. Therefore, does Clinton, in a quagmire, running the risk of a civil war in the Democrat Party, does she and Barack owe America a timetable for withdrawal from the Democrat primaries?

Look at the reputation that they are giving this party around the world. It’s not good. A foreign minister of Iran has come out in favor for the candidate for change. That would be Obama. The North Koreans, same thing. They’re in favor of the candidate of change.

What is this doing to our reputation? What is this bloody fight in the Democrat Party doing to America’s reputation around the world?

Canada is in turmoil here over what Barack said he would do with NAFTA and then what he told them privately he wouldn’t do with NAFTA. He caused an international incident before he’s even president.

Folks, the nation’s reputation is at stake here, and the Democrat Party has made it so.

I think both Barack and Hillary owe America a timetable for pulling out of these primaries.

I know… I’m going to enjoy this political season.

Clinton – GO Girl, GO.

Just had to note the outcome of the Democrat primary battle and say;

This is AWESOME –
Clinton and Obama will continue to bloody up each other all the way to the convention. — I can’t wait.

Democrat party will end up fractured… and I promise… they are going the way of implosion from the Dem. leaders and insiders…

Loving it.

I’m so EXCITED about this… can’t wait to follow up on this !

So much more to come on this…
Check out the follow-up tomorrow.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN…
