It is well-known that Biden often sticks his foot in his mouth, no one can dispute that...and you can certainly try to compare the president to Palin, but such a comparison wouldn't be viewed favorably by most people who deal in reality...you see, most people who are opposed to Palin, far from being "scared" of her, want her to continue to be front and center in the GOP, as that will continue to discredit that party...in the end, bringing up either the president or the vice-president doesn't excuse the fact that Sarah Palin is an airhead who will never get anywhere near the Oval Office except, perhaps, as a visitor...

I don't think Todd got Palin into the Governor's office.

Thankfully, no one will get her into the Oval Office...

[...] adds his two cents. Think the attack on Palin isn’t full-tilt-bozo? They’re even after Palin’s toenails, if you’re ready for that. How vacuous need one be? Smacks to me of desperation on the part [...]

James, You imply Hillary got where she is because she is bright and competent. What a load of bull. She rode her husband's coat tails! Without Bill no one would've heard of her.
Several weeks after her husband left office and robbed the WhiteHouse and sold pardons, the NYT wished the Clinton's would just go away. Obviously their outrage was shortlived when a Senate seat opened up. People felt sorry for her because Bill was a cheat.
Hillary Clinton has earned nothing on her own, I don't think Todd got Palin into the Governor's office.

Well, retired UAW workers get healthcare. Sure do. And the government does not subsidize it and the doctors etc are not government employees.

Then again, UAW workers, at least until recently, were not government employees as military folks are. You mean you really can't tell the difference?

You mean like the US military has? Yea, damn socialists...

The military system pretty much sucked when I experienced it.

The VA system in rural NH completely and totally sucks.

If having the government pay for my healthcare means I get to have what the VA has, then i will take a pass.

The system as set up by the military and the VA aren't exactly examples of great healthcare. Having personally experienced both with my family it is nothing to be proud of or base a nationwide system on.

Not a valid point. Retired vets with no combat injuries get government care. Spouses and kids of active service members get care. What does that have to do with combat?

Well, retired UAW workers get healthcare. Spouses and kids of UAW workers get healthcare. It called total compensation. Families and retirees pay a fee for their coverage. Only active duty members incur no direct costs for their healthcare. How the co-pays and annual costs compare to the private sector, I don't know but it is part of the military's total compensation system.

The military maintains a medical establishment to handle casualties, they treat active duty even for non-battle injuries in these facilities to maintain readiness, they treat retirees and families in the facilities if space available to fully utilize the in-place infrastructure and they provide healthcare/insurance for families and retirees just like other employers.
