I hope I get to see some politicians get the “Mussolini” treatment.

Didn't you have to puke a little if you voted for McCain in 2008? How about when your only “conservative” choice was Romney, in 2012? Oh I managed to do it myself. But I won't be able to ever force myself to do it again. I now understand why many conservatives stayed home.
Absent getting a choice for “None of the Above” on the 2016 ballot(which would probably garner the majority of all votes) I don't think there is a chance in hell the Republican Party will nominate a real conservative.
Our country is going to implode. The Democrats will have finally achieved the total societal destruction they have always craved. The victory will be an empty one, since this script has been attempted many times in human history.

Country auto destruct ping!

One size fits all. The definition of “all” is fluid.

Yeah...but the fact is Obama is far, far worse.

I now understand why many conservatives stayed home.

I do not, especially the ones who wanted to "teach a lesson" by seeing everything crash.

Well, conservatives suffer in a crash and Obama's tenure just makes everyone suffer longer.

Not to change the subject, but whenever I hear a Libtard use that “Bush Lied” line, I ask them exactly what he lied about.

At first they are dumbfounded, and to a man (or woman) their next statement is, Bush lied about WMD’s in Iraq.

That opens up another can of worms. You can inform them that every Intelligence Agency in the World said Saddam had WMD’s, doesn’t matter.

You can tell them that Senator Cankles Hillary Voted to go to War in Iraq, doesn’t matter.

You can tell them that we didn’t go into Iraq just because of WMD’s, but rather because of Saddam’s threats, his penchant to torture and murder his own people and his violations of 17 U.N. Resolutions, doesn’t matter.

I always end with this, if Bush knew Saddam didn’t have any WMD’s, we would have found WMD’s the first day of the War.

They always get confused by that comment.

Next time, show them this:

“One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line.”
—President Bill Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998

“If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction program.”
—President Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998

“Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face.”
—Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998

“He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983.”
—Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998

“[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq’s refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs.”
Letter to President Clinton, signed by:
— Democratic Senators Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others, Oct. 9, 1998

“Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process.”
-Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998

“Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies.”
— Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999

“There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies.”
Letter to President Bush, Signed by:
— Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), and others, Dec 5, 2001

“We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and th! e means of delivering them.”
— Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002

“We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country.”
— Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

“Iraq’s search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power.”
— Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

“We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction.”
— Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002

“The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons...”
— Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002

“I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force — if necessary — to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security.”
— Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002

“There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years ... We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction.”
— Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002

“He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do”
— Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002

“In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons.”
— Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

“We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction.”
— Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002

“Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America’s response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real...”
— Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003

Facts confuse the little darlings.

Thanks for that information, but you realize that might require them to “read”. Just like Nancy Pelosi, they have problems reading anything put in front of them, like the Obamacare Bill.

BTW - You really put that Reply together in a hurry.
Good job my Friend.

This just drives more people into the exchanges. We must not be fooled into using just the metric of the number of enrollees into Obamacare as a measure of success. The numbers are sure to go up as more and more businesses drop the provision of health care insurance and shift employees into the exchanges. The numbers in the exchanges will eventually be in the tens of millions. They will have higher premiums, high deductibles and co-pays, and less choice of doctors and hospitals.

My job told us our insurance is dead come December 31.
“But you’ll be able to apply for obamacare come January first!” They cheerfully told us.
The carrot they offered was this, “IF we don’t come up with an alternative by sometime in November!”

When these people see that they can no longer get that new playstation and games, that new big screen, that new bling of all types they will either be bombarded with so much propaganda that they will buy into, or they will turn on their elitist masters as well as everyone around them. The latter is what the elitists hope to manage. The elites have developed some incredible crowd control devices since the 60’s and they will use them on all the dissenters. The elitists are becoming bold now because they have spent the wealth of America to develop the tools to enslave us.

frustrating some consumers who want to keep what they have and forcing others to buy more costly policies.

By all accounts, the new policies will offer consumers better coverage, in some cases, for comparable cost -- especially after the inclusion of federal subsidies for those who qualify.

Did anyone else notice the contradiction here. At the start of the excerpt they say the new polices will force people to drop their coverage and increase cost on others, but at the end they say that people will get the same coverage with the same cost. Nothing like having it both ways. Frickin' lying a**ed liberals.

“No, only Bush lies.”

Bush did tell a few whoppers beginning with, “I’m a conservative”.

Eventually I think that is what will happen to all. One size fits all. It would make sense to me if I was running the insurance company.

In CA companies like Anthem are only offering part of their provider networks for exchange policies. Want to bet whether it is the most popular providers that are covered by Anthem exchange policies?

I am paying more than the exchange rate for my insurance now. But I will continue to do so to stay out of the government exchange. Freedom has a price. I’ll pay it.
