A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is
700,000.


(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians
per year are 120,000.


(C) Accidental deaths per physician is
0.171

Now think about this:

Guns

(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is
80,000,000.

(Yes, that's 80 million)

(B) The number of accidental gun deaths
per year, all age groups, is 1,500.

(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is
.0000188

Statistics courtesy of FBI

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

So, statistically, doctors are approximately

9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Remember, 'Guns don't kill people, doctors do.'
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUTAlmost everyone has at least one doctor.

This means you are over 9,000 times more likely to be killed by a doctor as by a gun owner!!!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Please alert your friends to this alarming threat.

We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!

Out of concern for the public at large, We withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention

Let's break this down a little bit, Romney has not expressed a pro-choice stance since 2002, he has altered his position on abortion that is true, but it is hardly any different than the president changing his position on Gay Marriage, you do remember that the president opposed Gay Marriage before he decided this last year to support it.... For the president that was little more than a political alignment to move closer to his political base as I suspect that his thinking on the issue has hardly changed other than he is able to cast the impression that he is aligned with the base that was becoming impatient with him.... So again, hardly any different than Romney's evolving views on abortion.

Guess what? You can be pro NRA and support second amendment rights and without supporting assault rifles and automatic weapons.... There are quite a few people who disagree on the need for such weapons in our society but support the 2nd amendment.

Big difference in a state enacting a mandatory healthcare program and the federal government doing so... Maybe you should read the constitution and pay special attention to the 10th amendment.

Blunt Amendment?

How childish! There is a big difference between saying that the government should not mandate what a person or an employer must purchase and provide for with their private funds and somehow comparing that to saying that is a restriction on birth control... No one is suggesting that women not be allowed access to birth control, I really believe that as a country we are way beyond that, the question becomes one of religious tolerance and first amendment rights coupled with private property rights, and the expansive growth in the role and power over freedom exercised by the federal government.... I am a big fan of birth control, but I am not a big fan of the federal government forcing anyone to have to purchase birth control for other people, especially when it goes against their religious beliefs.

Anti Afganistan "pull out" date, pro Afganistan "pull out" date?

Again you are being childish, Romney has no problem with the goal of wrapping up the war in Afghanistan by 2014, especially since the war has seemed to have lost a sense of mission, and some really stupid rules of engagement that make little to no sense except to a progressive liberal.. The criticism that Romney has leveled at the president is that having the goal is not the problem, he shares and supports the president's goal, announcing that goal for political support is what Romney does not support, it is broadcasting to the Taliban that hey, don't give up, just hang in there a little bit longer and you can come back and escalate your war because we won't be here to stop you. It gives the enemy the ability to plan its strategy for not only its survival but for its eventual success where they may have otherwise become weaker and more fragmented, nothing gives the taliban more hope in Afghanistan than the announced withdrawal of American forces.


20% tax reductions for all, the weatlhy pay the same.

First off it is their money and not only did they earn it, but they also took care in earning and probably take greater care in spending it than does our government.... This US vs Them attitude of this president is getting old and weak if he needs to raise taxes then he needs to get his ass down to congress and get something done and don't be surprised if a compromise bill won't contain a bit of pain for all tax brackets, and you know what? That is fair as far as I am concerned, the friggin government does not own the profits of my labor, it was a founding principle of this nation, to bad that the schools no longer teach founding principles.... As far as Romney's tax proposals, there are 80,000 pages in the US tax code and guess what?, they are nothing but rules and regulations regarding tax write offs, it is hard to quantify if Romney can or can't do what he has said, but he has promised that it will be revenue neutral and that the burden on the wealthy will not go down, and that the burden on the middle class will not go up... if he can't make the numbers work then he will just have to compromise that 20%, maybe it goes to 15% but you thinking that for some reason that you deserve the fruit of someones else's labor is BS...


Wouldn't go after Bin Laden, any president would have done the same.

By the time we assassinated Bin Laden he was a decrepit old man that posed little threat to anyone, at best he was no more than a figure head with little power or ability to effect world events. What Romney said is that our war should no longer be focused on killing Bin Laden and that we should no longer be spending large amounts of resources in that effort... His quote was that he would not move heaven and earth to go after Bin Laden. Now when he says that any president would have made the call, damn straight, Romney never said that we should not go after Bin Laden if we were to find him, he simply said that there were more important areas to focus our resources and efforts as Bin Laden was no longer playing an active role in Al Queda's leadership and no longer the threat to our forces and our people that he once was, he was no longer worthy of being a focus point in our war on terror.

The GM bailout alone will cost the American Taxpayer $45 billion I have broken this down several times here, between the loss on the GM stock purchase which represented about 80% of the bailout funding to GM and the $30+ billion in future taxes not collected because the Obama administration gave GM special status allowing them to bypass Federal Bankruptcy laws... These are facts... So when you say that the bailout did not cost the American taxpayer anything you are wrong, in your case it is a matter of not having the information, in the case of the president and his campaign, it is a flat out lie as they know better because it was his administration that structured the deal...

Why not hold Obama accountable to his lies, they have been plentiful..

Especially when Obama lied about the Auto Bailouts stating that Romney did not support Federal Loan guarantees to save the industry, which would have been much fairer to the American taxpayers than the give away that Obama engineered....

From an Oped Romney wrote for the NY Times back in 2008.

An obvious comment but hardly a fair statement. Judaism was also a violent religion, particularly prior to the times of the great kings. But in reality, one needs to look at the acts if the religions in light of the culture and times they exist. In the middle ages there were secular power grabs that were every bit as violent at the ones foisted upon society by the church.

In today's society and culture we have the relatively free flow of information and ideas. Many religions proselytize today but only one uses violence as its mechanism. Only one truly imposes itself on the governments of its countries. Only one says death to unbelievers. Only one.

So you are equating the Pope, the Ayatollah and the Prophet of the Mormon Church in their similar chances of causing an extinction level event?

Why is it, then, that we never hear of a Christian suicide bomber? A Jewish suicide bomber? A Mormon suicide bomber? Hindu? Buddhist? Zoroastrian? Animist? Shinto? Sikh? Wicca? Unitarian? Well, OK, maybe a Unitarian suicide bomber.

Alright... Bush is evil, so what, we are still facing massive crushing debt. Ignoring it will only get us over the cliff faster. What in the name of the great Obama is going to be done differently now that wasn't done when Obama had a super majority for 2008-2009. Tell me... ANYBODY WHO SUPPORTS THIS JERK... what has he said that he will do to fix the mess. Show me his history of financial leadership that will steer us out of this mess.

Thing is, Obama knew about them yet still made claims to be able to rectify them & failed to do so...

LOL that is 17 days of Obama's deficit spending or just about a weeks worth of overall federal spending...

Beyond the numbers is the community services that churches and their affiliated organizations provide to their local communities, I would say that the tax expenditures on these exemptions is some of the best local spending that the federal government does... Just think about the democratic support coming from many churches RixPix, I would think that alone would soften your objections.
