GOP Debate...

Planned Parenthood is calling out Fiorina for the remark she made last night. 

[Hoosierfan2017 24,627]

I don't think PP is in any position to criticize anyone about anything, ever...

You wont hear any of the candidates talk about but to get to the answer of the healthcare problem you have to look big picture. I'm convinced a big part of our health issues can be traced to what we eat and the air we breathe. Our food system is loaded with chemicals, antibiotics and GMO's that the human body can't handle. Clean food is expensive but is cheaper than paying for health issues long term caused by our gov't subsidized commodity system. Everything you hear the candidates talk about concerning health care is just treating a symptom never the cure.

I'm concerned by the consolidation of major industries such as insurance, airlines, and telecommunications. It's getting to the point where there isn't even competition within the market.

There is absolutely no link between GMO food and any health issues. It's a hippy scare tactic.

I am aligned with this thought. Major, major moolah in Health food market and people believe anything they hear. Count me as a skeptic.

Now, binge eating and excess sugars etc, pose serious, tangible risks.

Weston A. Price DDS book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration might be an interesting read for you. A dentist who traveled the world studying cultures who still ate their natural diet and had not yet been exposed to to high starch processed foods that make up a lot of our diet today. Really amazing what he found. People who never seen a dentist or a doctor and never brushed their teeth yet they were perfectly healthy with perfect teeth.

sugar, sugar, sugar. Cut out sugar and no tooth decay at all.

Doesn't include soda right? ;)

This is a valid issue. You can almost throw oil in there too as I expect BP to get swallowed up by one of the giants before long. Kinda tricky when the gov't gets involved and tries to stop some of these mergers though. Best advice I can give is to own stock in these major companies as they will be profitable long term.

The hard part is just how to do it. It's an area the left and the right are totally together on, they just can't agree how to reach the same end point. But a perfect storm of deregulation and regulatory capture created these massive vertical monopolies and destroyed the consumer market for so many services. They're too big and something needs to be done about it, but how do you solve that? How do you untie a GE or a News Corp? They're too big to control.

This is another weird field where the people on the further left and the people on the further right fall for the same bullcrap for different reasons. Nonsense scare tactics about government GMOs or evil corporations. Like anti-vax idiots.

 

A healthy diet has a good mix of non-transfats, proteins, and some but not many carbs, ideally from fiber or natural sugars. It doesn't matter if you're eating organic white bread or GMO, it still is garbage for your system. Food doesn't get healthier the way it's grown.

[Alford Bailey 13,190]

 A lot of talk on Fiorina since the debate. Still over a year away to the election. Too early to get excited about anybody IMO.

Scott Walker dropping out.  I never thought he'd win but I'm surprised he gave up so soon.

Bad projections for his numbers. If you're never going to beat 2% then might as well save the money.

True.

Per the report I just heard, he didn't have any left to save.

That was my second guess! I hadn't read that, I have absolutely no trouble believing it though.

How does anybody actually like Ted Cruz? He is part used car salesman, part televangelist. He tries so hard to be sincere but it's clear he either isn't sincere at all or doesn't know what he's doing. When he looks into the camera and preaches I feel like I turned on the wrong channel Sunday morning. 

 

Mike Huckabee was selling cinnamon pills as a cure for diabetes before he entered the race. Not exactly presidential material.

 

As much as I hate to say it, I kind of liked Bush in the most recent debate. I feel dirty. Even dirtier, I also liked Rand Paul.

It helps that Rand Paul is literally the only GOP candidate who sounds like he paid attention in civics class. I have trouble believing anyone else polling above 2% can even named the 3 branches of government and their roles. I've taught 5th graders with a better grasp of Presidential and Judicial powers than most of the candidates.

 

Before any of the front runners make some ludicrous comment about how they should ignore Federal Judges (whether they're ordering you to issue marriage licenses or whatever else), I want them first to say "I think the Founders got it wrong when they wrote the Constitution and we shouldn't have to..."

 

I mean, I've never seen such blatant lobbying for the President to actually be a dictator than in this election. Which baffles me when it's immediately combined with rhetoric saying Obama is a dictator.
