'Rush Limbaugh Show' Broadcasts Five Minutes of Dead Air as Sponsors Continue to Flee

..., deliberate wording to paint Universities and Charity Hospitals, and social aid orgs as businesses, is clear. Now, if you could do one more thing, and show where it is that the people that they questioned in this sample was listed, I can place the pieces together for you.


j-mac

And no I don't think they painted Universities and Charity Hospitals, and social aid orgs as businesses.

Each question was asked seperatly:
Do you think ----------should be required to provide employees...


a.Religious Colleges & Universities?
b. Religious Hospitals ?
c. Chrches and places of worship?
d. privately owned businesses?

The right wing badly overplayed their card on this issue. And Limbaugh was the center of their disaster.
What is your evidence? Shall we wait for the results of the election to see?
 
Re: 'Rush Limbaugh Show' Broadcasts Five Minutes of Dead Air as Sponsors Continue to

No sample demographic breakdowns, no weighting analysis. The poll isnt worth the time it took to take it without that data. Without presenting it you can skew the results as much or as little as you wish to with no effort.

Well, I don't think so...

No one is prohibiting them for the free exercise. YOu confuse religion and business as if theya re the same. No clergy has to use contraceptions. No church has to preach the ebenfits of contraceptions. Nor is any establishing a religion in any way. Frankly, telling people what they can and cannot have with their own compensation is more a violation than ahving insurance given the option for everyone working in a business (not a church).

Ok then, what if the Catholic institutions said that they would no longer provide health insurance to any of its employees due to this mandate?

That's another issue. But more in keeping with their rights. And then they lose all those non-Catholics who work for them. But this is all yet another reason why we should have UHC and not have it attached to employment.

Not going to happen....What Obama, Pelosi, and Reid jammed through in the middle of the night with bribes, and subterfuge is wildly unpopular with the american people as it is, and it isn't even close to UHC. But you do agree that it is an employers prerogative to carry, or not carry health insurance for employees of affiliated institutions then right?

J, do you really think anyone will take this silliness seriously? As long as you use such hyperbolic langauge, your posts won't be treated with respsect.

I believe right now an employer can stop using insurance as compensation. The market may make it difficult for institutions like schools and hospitals to do so. But like I said, that is a different issue, and don't try to connect them. Once you give insurance as compensation, that insurance is now mine.

Well, not totally...Typically the employer pays a lion share of the actual insurance premium, and the employee participates with a smaller portion of the premium. This is the same principle as you saying because the government grants a loan to a particular entity that they have a say in what goes on in that business. Insurance is a benefit Joe, you are NOT entitled to it. If you think that forcing the Church to cover something in which the doctrine, and teaching of the Church is against is acceptable, then later when you carry that out to a logical conclusion, and these entities of the Church close up, and are no longer there to pick up the social net slack, then what? I swear, sometimes I think libs would rather cut off their noses to spite their face.

Start with the entire first sentence. It's hyperbolic to say the least.

he pays it, not for himself, or because he's a good fellow. He pays it as compensation. Like your paycheck, as part of your salary. As such, it is mine and not his even if he pays all of it. Entitlement was never used or argued. Compensation was the word I used. Don't confuse things because you can't get past the propaganda you listen to.

And not the church. no, the business they ventured into. The church doesn't have to do anything. The schools and hospitals do. There is a difference. And this is the difference the last SC ruling mentioned.

The hospitals, and schools are institutions of the Church, and their doctrine is intertwined. You know how I know that? I attended Catholic schools for the majority of my primary school career, and my Mother was a Nurse for the local Catholic hospital in Lansing for years.

You libs are trying anything you can to make a distinction so that you can say it's all good, when it is what it is Joe, Obama thuggery against the Church....Hey, BTW did you see the latest salvo from Obama in this battle?

The Obama administration’s ongoing fight with the Catholic Church over religious freedom and the now-infamous contraceptive mandate hasn’t shown any signs of simmering. But now, just weeks after the initial arguments reached a boiling point, a new development is causing some to wonder if the Obama administration is waging a full-scale assault on the religious institution. Why, you ask?

For the first time, the Vatican has found itself on the U.S. State Department’s list of potential money-launderers.

So it's been downgraded to "hyperbolic".
