Do you have any examples of his questionable ethics? The guy actually seems too pure if anything. Emanuel is definitely hard as nails, and his Hollywood agent brother probably has a bit of a silicon coating. However, Zeke seems to be pretty straight. But of course, he does seem to work more from facts and logic than from "his gut", so he obviously doesn't fit the mold of his conservative critics.Quote:

The only thing I know about him is what he has written and stated.
You probably know sooooo much more!!:rolleyes:
Rahm is a product of the same crooked Chicago macihne that produced Osama, Daley and the rest of those gangsters, pure my foot.
He wasn't referring to Rahm.Quote:

You can't, just more of you blow-viating!!
I'd really like to hear more opinions on Rahm, not his brothers. Rahm is the one who is the power broker ... and yes, he is an offspring of the Chicago political environment.
Rahm is a foul mouthed bully.
He, in my opinion, is the one calling the shots out of the Whitehouse right now.

(this one is good cause he loves puppies!!)
Just a few things about him.
Discussions with you inevitably revert to second grade playground levels. For background information on Zeke Emanuel, see http://www.cc.nih.gov/about/SeniorSt...l_emanuel.html. Also see http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpu...e-outrage.html which points out Zeke's long term opposition to euthanasia.Quote:

Both of my parents were allowed to die when their times came with no extraordinary efforts to prolong their bodies when their minds and souls had passed on. This was possible only because each left advance directives that expressed their desires. We could have taken advantage of all the "miracles" of modern medicine to keep their bodies technically alive for weeks or months longer.
I have prepared a similar directive and discussed this with my children to be sure they know my wishes. If you make different choices, that is you right and privilege as it should be, and I hope that you have also made those choices clear to guide those who may be forced to decide what happens if you are no longer able to direct your own care. Personally, I do not want the government or hospitals making those decisions without regard to my choices.
To seek to withhold information from people concerning the choices they may make concerning end of life care is fascism, not freedom. Is that what you support, or do you, like Zeke Emanuel, believe each person should be able to make his or her own choice? By the way, euthanasia is not a legal choice anywhere and is opposed by Zeke Emanuel. Personally, I would prefer to have that option available. I doubt that I would ever take advantage of it, but having the option would make the fight easier.
If you go back, you will see that my comments all related to Zeke Emanuel, not Rahm. They are very different people.Quote:
