It does translate to years when you know one term is X years.
Yeah, of course. I was actually replying to *kungfoomaster rather than to your comment. Your comment appeared between the times I hit "reply" and then "submit". ;)

Edit:
Accidentally put warmi instead of kungfoo, who I was actually replying to.

How about the Death Panels that Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Newt Gingrich and Glenn Beck saw in the proposed Health Care Reforms bill?
As usual Fox News is running with the story as if it was real news. Here is Glenn Beck providing the historical context.

Apparently Glenn Beck thinks the President has a secret plan to bring back Eugenics to kill Babies and Old people. Even scarier is that it appears that, according to Beck, every Democratic President since 1909 has a secret wish to impose Eugenics on the disabled and the elderly.
And then Fox News commentators claim that it is MSNBC, CNN, CBS, and NBC, commentators who are the fringed lunatics in the media.

Here is Fox News, news department appealing darkest sentiments of fear for most senior citizens with a sustained and consistent campaign of misinformation.

This one by the chairman of the party, it is wild out there, No wonder people are showing to the Town Halls with armed with loaded weapons.

What is Ironic is that these are the same Conservative Republicans that for 43 years, since Medicare was instituted, that had been demonizing the program trying to terminate it.
Now they are using the sentiments of some poorly informed elderly people to try to convince them that Medicare is not a social program.

I have to say that it gets pretty hilarious at times to watch what is going on in the USA. Of course our country has its own hilarious things going on. But I have the impression that in the USA everything gets multiplied by at least about 1000000. If nothing else good comes out of it then at least it has some comedy value.

Yeah, well, people do show up with loaded weapons because they carry them everywhere - it is called concealed carry and is legal in , I think, 48 states.

What has any of this to do with Sarah Palin?

I am referring you all to FactCheck.org for unbiased analysis on false claims made on both sides of the debate, and closing this thread as "hopelessly off-topic" (start another one on health care if you like).
