So...Tweety/Todd say Women visit Doctors and pay Doctor Bills and Men
just aren't involved with that stuff.. Chuck Todd says "I only see my Doctor twice in a decade" and Tweety affirms that Women take care of all that stuff and have to "pay the bills, worry about their parents and the kids and all that stuff" (loose quote) and Todd agrees.

Macho, Macho Men...Weenie Women who spend all that time at the Docs and we Macho Men just don't bother with that stuff.

Disgusting Tweety segment where he sites polls that Kerry is going after the Female 35 to 55 year old who has Health Care as a Big Concern because of the issues I mentioned above!

So...what the hell is that supposed to mean. MACHO MALES want to protect these idiot, sickly females from TERRA...so Iraq is the Big Issue with Men ...but whiney Females will vote for Kerry because they are so sickly and want their kids and elderly relatives to be taken care of?

I only saw that segment because Tweety disgusts me, and I gave him up long ago...but was looking for the Zhan/Kerry segment and got the time wrong.

(Pigs... And, I USED to like Chuck Todd...he's the more liberal of the two who appear on C-Span from "Roll Call." Well...he was the more liberal until this appearance on Tweety." )

2. Both of them missed the point entirely.

Women and MEN worry about health care. They worry that they won't have any. Tweety and Chuck both sounded like overpaid, out of touch bozos.

3. Actually, it's at least partially true.
I work in health care marketing. Most demographic studies show that women ages 35-50 are the primary decision makers where health care is concerned. Single men tend to not go to the doctor until something falls off...

6. Yes...but wouldn't "married folks & partnerships" be included in this?
Why talk about some damned poll that it's ONLY WOMEN age 35 to 55 who CARE about Health Care? :crazy:

Don't all of us care? What if the Macho Male develops heart disease or diabetes all because he only visits a doctor TWICE in a decade?

How many of us have males in our family with both of those diseases all because they didn't go get a check up after they were 25 years old.

How can negligence costing health care system millions be excused for MALES so that FEMALEs can be accused of being too high consumers of health care so that they are worried.

The implied message was that Women and Kids need and are concerned about health care...but we "Guy's" don't need to bother ourselves with this...we don't even pay the checks! :eyes:

7. Kick for all the "good women" in America being polled who are segmented
out and "pitted" against the Macho Males who never get sick or need to see a doctor...
