"Hands off my health care"

What in the fuck? I don't want to look at that shit. And I'm sure none of you do either.

2. Donating members don't see ads.
...But if you see one that's problematic, alert the admins, they have some control over that IIRC.

7. It has been a long while since I donated
I won't go into our personal finances right now. But let's just say donating to anyone is at the very bottom of the list.

9. Firefox + AdBlock Plus = no bullshit ads
Or if you donate, they also go away. But given the fucked economy, I always mention the Firefox alternative.

10. Donate. Its quite simple.
But I see your point. Ads are one thing, but ads contrary to the majority opinion, especially when they are RW ads.......

14. Republicans..masters of deceptive English
We should rip this foundation out from under their broken party.

Republicans want government-segregated health care. Republicans love government-rationed health care, which makes taxpayers wait in long lines to see the doctor. Republicans love obesity-run health care, that makes cigarettes and fast food more affordable than medical care and basic necessities. Republicans love government-run monopolies that tax our high premiums and give back only bankruptcies, higher deficits, and medically priced stagflation in return!

Democrats want an integrated health care system that treats all patients the same, while providing the needed care to all with disabilities and preexisting conditions. Democrats fight to end government-rationed health care, while freeing everyone to receive the medical care without standing in long lines to see a doctor. Democrats support diet-based health care, that ends obesity while making medical care and basic necessities more affordable than fast food and cigarettes. Democrats want to bust up government-run monopolies, and reduce drug prices and medical stagflation. Democrats support lowering taxes on our premiums and providing a safety-net for all who walk the daily tightrope to put food on the table! ;)

18. The google machine can't interpret context.
Edited on Fri Oct-30-09 02:10 PM by izzybeans
All the data mining models see are words like "health care" and "suck", so the don't know if the criticism is coming from the left or right. couple that with the fact that the ad buys that would capitalize on those types of words are most likely coming from the right.

It's not like you see a whole lot of money being thrown at ads for medicare for all. tis why in a roughly cut nutshell.

let's just hope that DU gets enough page impressions to get some money from those assholes. I would never advocate clicking on them to ensure that they do however, never. :)
