Hillary needs to get out and explain the "garnishment" allegation.

[jasmine621]

I thought she said there will be many ways to enforce the rules for her proposal. The Obama supporters heard it as "garnishment of wages" making sound evil. We pay for Social Security and Medicare the way I believe Hillary would have those who make over a certain amount pay for healthcare. The media is also complicit in this attempt to smear her once again. She needs to sink some money into an add very quickly. It's probably too late to do it for the super bowl, but tomorrow is not too late. It needs to air is every venue where voting will take place on Tuesday. These bastards are relentless.

[The Delegates]

5. She doesn't have time to explain it

She's too busy stealing purses from poor little old ladies.

6. Too late. She actually may have cooked her goose on this one.

Which is OK with me, because she is the wrong person to be going BACK into the WH.

10. Not just the Obama supporters -- essentially the entire press corps:

http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2008-02-03-campaign-roundup_N.htm

That's just a start.

I'd agree that she needs to clarify, but not for the sake of Obama supporters, but for her own good.

11. anyone with health insurance from their employer now has the money taken from their wage

whether the person pays out of pocket or the employer pays most or all... the money comes out of their wages... any one with a brain knows this... you negotiate wages and a certain amount goes to benefits... if more goes to benefits... less goes to wages... only stupid people do not know how wages and benefits work!

quit being stupid... these threads are annoying....
