Late arriving because something always seems to happen on Sunday. this time it was my internet connection and then church time.
Did watch Fox News Sunday... what a waste of time. The White House guy just flat out lied about everything and Mitch McConnel, what can I say. He may do a good job running the House but he could make the Second Coming sound dull.
Ryan is a rock star for us there is no doubt.
Will not watch the Nancy. Only a couple of people worth watching today.
I want to see Bobby Jindal to see wherein his charm lies since it’s not in his looks (bad girl comment).
And I always enjoy Paul Ryan.
Any veep gossip going on? I’m predicting Romney will play it safe and choose either Pawlenty or Ryan. Guessing Pawlenty.
You don't increase the number of those insured by 30 to 40 million without adding additional costs, let alone saving money. And the government will be assisting many with supplements so they can afford health insurance.
We all know that this is the first step towards a single payer system. Obama has admitted as much. Employers will dump health insurance and pay the penalties, which are cheaper than paying for the insurance. People will be driven into government run exchanges, which will lead to higher and higher premium costs. Eventually, the private insurers will be driven out of business and voila, you have a clamor for a single payer system. The very fact that insurance companies can only offer programs that comply with government standards reduces flexibility and increases costs.
And even with more insured, access will decrease as hospitals and doctors must deal with more demand. Government will then restrict what services will be supported to reduce costs, i.e., the death panels. The liberals have been planning this for decades. Medicare and Medicaid took care of the poor and the elderly. The only piece left was the middle class. Once Obamacare is in place, the government will be running health care lock, stock, and barrel. And once you control health care, individual liberty is destroyed by Big Government.
Anyone watching PM time in the UK, understands how controlling the NHS is in terms of domestic policy and politics. The only discussion is about what benefits should be offered, not whether such decisions should be the province of government.
Roberts may be a turncoat (or simply to weak to stand up to physical threat), but we all know for a fact that Obama is a thug.
I don’t know. When I saw Ryan with him on Fox a few weeks ago, they really looked like a winning ticket.
I am worn out with speculation on so many different subjects. I am sort of just observing things with interest.
Just when you think the Kennedy’s have gone away ....
Wonder why Ted’s missus is showing up today? What’s the occasion?
“You can’t be wrong all the time and still win elections.”
We’d like to think so, but what if our voting population is now 50% or more wrong as well - a rapidly growing number of government-goody-giveaway nanny state knuckleheads??? And a big dose of fraud and illegal migrants will be thrown in as well.
I pray you’re right, though, Rod.
How old are Roberts’ children now? Anybody know?
I’ve heard the blackmail because of the children theory.
It seems ALMOST unbelievable but not totally for this bunch.
I’ve also heard the epileptic seizure medication theory but this wasn’t a one-minute decision made because of a reaction to medication. It was a long process.
I am approaching burnout also. I watched Fox News Sunday and it was just depressing.
I’m tired of speculation. I’m tired of Obama and the liberals. I’m tired of nobody caring about Holder being held in contempt.
I wish I could just ignore the whole thing for a few weeks but I can’t seem to.
I didn’t watch any of it .... watched this instead:

It will be a cold day in hell before I’ll wave a white surrender flag to the likes of Dems/Libs/Progs/Obama/scumbag, lawless, Constitution-trampling politicians of any/every ilk.
“Artur Davis was one of the few this morning worth listening to....and he was a former Democrat.”
Agreed - I really like this guy and think we’ll be seeing more of him. Hope the Repub campaign utilizes him - he has real credibility when he tells his story of why & how he came to his senses and became a conservative. Plus, the Dems just hate that, which is a delight!
PS - He was the one who seconded BHO’s nomination at the Dem Convention in ‘08 - LOL.
Scary scenario that half the people are on the dole,spells disaster for the country. Lets hope it does not continue.
Playing ball and cutting deals.
Sheriff Joe is about to light Barry’s britches long and about July 27th
you’ll be able to see the smoke from your front porch
How much have the prices of our homes fallen under Obama?
What is the dollar worth? How much more money have we paid for gas at the pump? How much more are we charged for goods purchased? Now we will be taxed to pay for other people’s healthcare? Our pensions may be at risk. We may not even be able to talk to a doctor if we get sick.
Where are the promised jobs from stimulus? We all listen to the Administration and MSM lie and spin everyday.
Interesting...I did not know that about Artur Davis. Thanks!
.............................
Just watched Jack Lew again...,on FNC with Wall Ass. He's loaded with dem chatting points used now on every show he has been on.
Here's some of them:
1. Health care benefits are here now. Meanwhile Paul Ryan on another show has already agreed we will keep the popular ones and we don't have to reinvent govt. to do it.
2.Forget the tax word lets get on with the implementation of it.They are scared of calling obamcare a tax
3.Those who want to get rid of ozerocare have to explain how no one will lose any benefits that they have now.this has already been proven a lie as many are losing the coverage they have now since it gets too expensive under zero care.
4.You have to buy it before you try it.More piglosi logic
5.You can tell the dems are scared sh_tless about having to call obamcare a tax it kills ozeros big pledge of those under 250k not having to pay more taxes.This is a biggie.
6.We have cut taxes 50 zillion times,they use this one every show. Its minuscule tax cuts with much bigger hits everywhere in spending that are never mentioned.
7.Only 1% will ever pay the penalties...More BS no telling how many will pay or lose their insurance.
8.Its constitutional does not matter what you call it. They will do or say anything but the word tax--it really scares them.
It's clear that lews big job today is to prevent anyone from calling ozerocare a tax. They are scared to death about that happening. If we are smart we will keep calling it a tax.
Can’t wait great news new bud!
