I wish Jon Stewart would take a long walk on a short pier.
It’s gone beyond left verses right to the left verses the American tax payer
And I love this gem:
Remind the Blue Dogs who's president and who's not.
Yeah! "I won!" That worked so well the last time he did it!
With friends like these, Obama doesn't need enemies.
Presidents, Congress and the Courts have been spitting on that user's manual for a 100 years or so.
What the founders invented for us died many years ago. It was replaced with a bunch of bleating goats all making noise so they can be noticed. So they can be seen, so that they can see themselves. Obama, Hillary, Bill, Pelosi, Barney Frank, any Kennedy, etc. have no talent other than masturbation. Nothing is more important than their own self-gratification, they need to be the center of everything. They are so narcissistic it's sickening. There is no "representation" going on. They don't work for their neighbors that voted for them. They are pot bellied pigs feeding off others because they cannot do anything themselves. They are empty heads. They are comical and have nothing about them to admire. Morons with power who think they are people of genius who know the answers to many questions, as long as some staffer tells them what that answer is.
“for this once-in-a-lifetime, stars-aligned political shot at fixing this system … “
that’s what I’ve been saying all along. the left is tired of incrementalism and they feel obama is their best chance to get all their socialism in now without being watered down by moderates and conservatives.
LBJ: “When I’ve lost Cronkite, I’ve lost Middle America”
Obama: “When I’ve lost Jon Stewart, I’ve lost Mental America”
And that, FRiends, is the entire basis of the Democrats' love affair with the Public Option.
Somehow, they believe that the government can "do" insurance better than the private sector can -- not just in so-called hard cases, but apparently in all cases.
That's an incredibly bold assumption, especially given the on-going disarray that characterizes the government's own Medicare and Medicaid programs.
OTOH, to point out the government's failing is NOT the same as saying that the private sector insurance companies don't need to clean up their own act, because they do: they're incredibly bureaucratic organizations whose contact with real market forces is somewhat tenuous.
A viable counter-strategy for dealing with this health care Obamanation has to address both aspects of the problem -- and most importantly, to REDEFINE THE PROBLEM so that we can address what's really going on.
First, we have to challenge those bold assumptions. "Government-provided insurance is required ... why????" A rational discussion of the topic would show that in almost all cases additional government options are not required -- and the hard cases could be addressed by adjusting existing regulations governing access to Medicare and Medicaid.
Second, however, we need to seriously address why medical costs are so very, very high -- they really are ruinous, even if insurance makes those costs somewhat invisible to most individuals.
There are a lot of reasons why costs are so high ... and it's quite telling that those reasons are NOT part of this debate.
In a very real sense, the Democrats' health care initiative is insane, in the sense that their actions apparently have little if any contact with the real roots of the problem they purport to be solving.
Just damn. Heartbreaking isn’t it?
Who else do the Libs have to blame. Tried to tell them this guy was a neophite dufus, but NOOOO, he’s thoughtful.
Please pass the popcorn!
