Perhaps the the doctor has done something wrong here. I should think that charges should be brought if that is the case. I see Sly says the procedures done on the children were unnecessary, but who is deciding this to be the case? What I do see here is people (Budnick) taking a mighty swing at casting doubt about a Senate candidate. What the hell is his political party? As far as the Oregon Health plan is concerned, I am surprised that Sly even mentions this as being in the game with the doctor opposing the Obama Care. The Oregon Health Plan is completely different as it is run by a State which is completely within the powers a State has. A Federal Program is an entirely different matter as their is no mention of Insurance or Healthcare being the business of the Congress in the Constitution. Therefore the 10th amendment says things not mentioned belong to the States. Democrats seem to always mention Romey Care in the same way to try and make Republicans look hypocritical, Romey Care good, Obama Care Bad, Oregon Health Plan good, ObamaCare bad. No it is things working under the proper government as they should. This doctor being paid by the Oregon Health Plan is just fine. If she is guilty of fraud for performing unnecessary operations then by all means, chuck her butt in the jail, forget about the Senate. But damn let us see some evidence instead of near slander.
Sly knows that the polling shows this smear isn't working on Wehby. The stalking thing didn't either, which is why it went away quickly. Oregon hasn't had a female senator since Maureen Neuberger in the '60s. All Oregon Democrats that have had any power in the last 20 years, outside of Vera Katz, who was only a mayor, are white males. The Democrats in Oregon are terrified that the first Oregon US woman elected to the Senate in almost 50 years is going to be an educated Republican. It's even made a hardcore Democrat like barfo come up for air, and then to shout down the possibility.
And all Oregon Republicans that have had any power in the last 20 years are imaginary. That's pretty funny. But since you say you believe everything you post, it's also pretty sad. barfo
You're not at all funny when you're angry. Has the internet passed you by? Are you a Global Moderator Emeritus?
I like the idea of an educated female senator from Oregon. I'm going to start looking into her more (like my vote counts anyways). Do find it a funny that voters on the right are willing to excuse the fact she has had two police reports accusing her of stalking. How many people on this board has had even one person going to the police alleging allegations against them (those are sworn statements to the police punishable as an offense if they are lying) . . . much less two, with both being the same allegation. Enough for me to think she has a psycho side to her, but not enough to completely discard considering to vote for her. But be honest, if two people went to the police and filed police reports against Obama for stalking, this board would be all over him, some saying that means he should be impeached. Heck one police report would put many over the top. Both her and Merkley say that should not be an issue in the election, but I suspect it will be. But I also think voters won't just stop there, they will look at the whole picture for both of them. A Republican senator from Oregon . . . maybe
