Perhaps she fell for a psyop?

Perhaps she believes in Santa Claus and the tooth fairly also. :rolleyes:

Her claims (whether they be insights or delusions) tend to run a few shades more sinister than that .

But, yeah, if it was a psyop, she's still culpable for falling for it.

He has advanced Hepatitis-C

It's rumored that Pelosi keeps him on so he can keep his health benefits.

Cut him a little slack.

Given the "Cadillac" health and retirement benefits that our federal representatives enjoy, I doubt he would lose any benefits should he resign from office due to his illness.

She's also a "Truther" so that would fit.

From "Salaries and Benefits of US Congress Members"

Members of Congress receive retirement and health benefits under the same plans available to other federal employees. They become vested after five years of full participation.

Members elected since 1984 are covered by the Federal Employees' Retirement System (FERS). Those elected prior to 1984 were covered by the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS). In 1984 all members were given the option of remaining with CSRS or switching to FERS.

As it is for all other federal employees, congressional retirement is funded through taxes and the participants' contributions. Members of Congress under FERS contribute 1.3 percent of their salary into the FERS retirement plan and pay 6.2 percent of their salary in Social Security taxes.

Members of Congress are not eligible for a pension until they reach the age of 50, but only if they've completed 20 years of service. Members are eligible at any age after completing 25 years of service or after they reach the age of 62. Please also note that Members of Congress have to serve at least 5 years to even receive a pension.

He will have completed 4 years in Jan 2011. He needs to be reelected once more in order to quailfy for pension and continued health benefits.

It's not, I would not wish that on anyone.(living with Hep-C)

The person, not the performance of their duty in office.

I don't wish hep-c on anyone either, but if his mind isn't there, than he needs to resign from public office. He is a doing a disservice to everyone and can pay for his own health benefits just like the rest of us.

Then I guess he would have to go the COBRA route like the proles.

This is true.
