You're probably partly right. $6 billion here... $20 million there. Win or lose, the Dems were going for the pork. After the election.

I believe this is the equivalent argument to ?I know you are, but what am I?? This is also something spouted routinely by community college flunky, Rush Limbaugh. I?ll listen to his notions of science about the time I take a power drill to the side of my skull. Quote:

Oh, it is a FACT? Ok, thanks for educating me, I was unawares. Thank you... Oy. Wait. Just for my edification, could you explain how this is a fact? Was it, like, observed? No? No observations? Weird. I was taught that when something is not observed but induced the proper word is "hypothesis" or "conjecture", no? Anyways, I understand, it is a special kind of fact, the one that can be established without any err... factual material. But at least you can explain how did you arrive at this conclusion? What would be the reasons to think that Ebola spread is less likely here? The population density is lower? The number of contacts between people is lower? The familiarity with Ebola and Ebola awareness is higher? Don't be shy, go right ahead, show me the math that made you think that basic reproduction number for Ebola in the USA would be lower than in Liberia? What? No math either?

Luck? C'mon, Boris, you disappoint me. I thought you were a man of logic and science.
The fact is that, unlike Liberia, the probability of this spreading in the US is very low

If you're directly working for the government abroad, then the government will and does cover your health needs, however if you volunteer or work for a charity agency, then its the agency (pending whats in your contract) or your own health insurance that should be burden with any health bills of an injury or disease you contracted abroad.

I fell for nothing, and I still agree with the US military policy about quarantining soldiers returning from West African countries and feel all should be subject to the same rules.

Yeah, that's a fucking stretch. What I do find ironic, sad and endlessly amusing, is your clumsy attempt to change the subject now that the Ebola Apocalypse story you fell for and/or helped promulgate has failed to materialize.

Ice Age. Just how many coal mines were operating that changed the planet?
Besides, our POTUS just proposed a deal with Earth's largest polluter, China. In it he agreed that they do NOTHING but stop the RISE of their pollutants by 2030, but handcuffs our industry by mandating reductions of about 26% by 2025. Is he the worst negotiator ever? A case could be made.

I'm a huge fan of irony, which might be why I like reading what you write. I lean liberal, but I'm hardly sitting at the snap of a finger. If you can't tell that from what I write, I can only wonder what you're reading... As for the money spent... I hardly think 1.2billion is a large expense for doing what is necessary. Many things have cost more and been wrong. Nobody here died. It didn't spread, as the fear did. It was handled. For all of the fumbles of the CDC, it never became anything more than an issue in West Africa. Quote:
I would love to show you some of the projects and research borne out on this. The only thing that I can state is that there really is no question that our own actions are a factor in the environment. There may be disagreement about the best way to address it, but nobody with half a brain cell argues that this is purely natural. Well, I guess there are people that due decide to argue it, but they have absolutely no concept about the science involved.

Isn't it ironic how the same Democrats who tell everyone not to panic over Ebola are going full tilt to convince people TO panic over natural climate change?

You do realize that the entire government, aside from Obama, was on vacation for the entire summer and the beginning of the crisis, right? They couldn't even bother to come back to Washington in order to vote on what to do about ISIS. It really doesn't matter if Obama asked for it before or after. Ultimately, the Ebola disaster turned out to be a farce. The initial responses were poor (sending the guy home after he said that he was in West Africa) but since then, it's been fine. Our country is safe from the phony threat. While you may not like Kaci's actions after returning home from doing something that many on here don't have nearly half the courage to take part on, it doesn't mean that what she did was wrong. Personally, I?d have preferred her to take precautions. However, I can completely get the mindset that she was out in the field trying to stave off death from the impoverished and she just wants to go for a damn bike ride. Quote:

Not really sure what issues you are trying to debate. Are you sure you are not chewing on crayons right now?
If you have anything remotely sane to say about anything, even the weather. I'll speak to you then. Right now, you seem to be just another crazy person craving for attention.

Drifterx - let me know when you want a gloves-off discussion. I've gotten tired of your unwillingness to debate the issues without resorting to insults. You want a debate on your terms? You got a spare rectum? Happy to rip u a new one tbh.

How the CDC got it wrong? Lets see, about 9 people infected and 1 fatality. The rest are now Ebola free. Not quite sure what is so wrong when you consider the fact that Africa has it much, much worse.
You just can't say anything without injecting politics so let me just say it one last time. THE POLITICIANS GOT IT WRONG, KACI IS RIGHT. END OF STORY. I don't care what people voted for, it has nothing to do with this case and if it did, that's their problem. Since Kaci followed CDC guidelines throughout this whole ordeal and is proven to be Ebola free, once again, where did the CDC got it wrong? Admit the fact that you are WRONG, or crazy. I don't care which. But we all know that's not going to happen so by all means, rant away.

This is not about Kaci however you may want to spin it. It's about how the CDC and Obama got it wrong. How the public didn't believe Obama - and trusted the cross-party cautiousness of both Cuomo and Christie - ahead of the spin Obama and the CDC put on it. If Kaci had simply played roulette with her own life then voters would have been cool. But she didn't. She decided to put other people in harm's way - based on her interpretation of CDC guidelines. She's a nurse ffs, not an infectious diseases expert. She put forward all the same arguments as Typhoid Mary. The same CDC guidelines that got several doctors infected overseas. The same CDC guidelines that say you're not infectious if you don't have symptoms - yet 10%+ of people with full blown Ebola have NO symptoms. I don't need to argue the point with you. The US voters got it. And for the record, I'm neither a Dem nor a Republican. I call it as I see it. I'm a sheep? Keep the comedy coming from a fuckwit like you, who is incapable of challenging everything you're fed. Priceless :) Google it for yourself, like: http://www.wnd.com/2014/10/ebola-vict ... ould-still-be-contagious/ Quote:
Obama's post election response was classic - "do as I say and not as I do". $6 billion. Right! Kaci's hobbies include Russian roulette imo. With other people's lives. Yep you won Kaci. Idiot.
