I prefer Maness. He’s a standout guy, and Cassidy is too liberal for a red state like Louisiana.

And here I had always believed the supermen of the Democrat liberal party (or “Partei” to give it a proper Germanic spin) could shape, control and direct any “blow-up” in the direction they wanted, any time and under any circumstances.

But strangely, they have not yet been able to actively and definitively attribute the “failure to launch” of the Obamacare sign-up website to the Republicans. Actually, there are two problems that are engaged closely - they are trying to sell a product that is of little or no benefit to most of the “customers” who will be forced to either sign up, or go with no insurance coverage at all, and almost nobody can get online to even review the options. Those few that do get through, find the promises are pretty ephemeral when it gets down to actual application.

The longer the Current Regime now squatting in the White Hut (or “Spite Hut”) tries to fix things, the longer it will be before any operative plan gets up and running for the enrollment of new members in the various aspects of the Obamacare scheme, or scam, or sham, or just downright shame.

And it has been said, “You can’t fix stupid”. They will just keep trying and trying to make this monstrosity work, and the more time, treasure, toil and tears they spend upon it, the more convoluted it shall become.

Have they never heard of one of the labors of Hercules, the cleaning out of the Augean Stables? That would not ever gain the approval of the EPA today.

I am F*&#ing sick of the "you have to have a detailed plan" red herring.

Before Obmama-doesn't-care, 89% of Americans liked their health insurance policy. Rates were lower. If we could somehow get ourselves back to 2009, we would be improving things over today.

So, the "moderate" argument is that we are supposed to continue to suffer under this crap while we wait for a consensus solution. No way.

I don’t understand politics. All the Dems are stressing about Obamacare and how it will hurt their election chances, correct? But, it was the GOp who took the hit for teying to delay Obamacare for a year. What gives. Are voters insane? The two issues are one and the same!

a full repeal of the law without offering detailed proposals to replace it.

Oh, the detailed plan is so simple it is 0 pages long...We're into NOTHING!

It applies to a lot of things:

Nothing's better than ObamaCare.
Nothing's better than the Department of Education.
Nothing's better than the Department of Labor.
Nothing's better than the Department of Hell and Human Sacrifice.
Nothing's better than HUD.
Nothing's better than the EPA.
Nothing's better than the TSA.
Nothing's better than the IRS.

Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

Well, I’d be more worried about that race than others. For some reason, Kay Hagan has a high approvals, and NC is not being affected much by the premium fluctuations. She’s also a solid fundraiser.

However, unlike Pryor and others, she hasn’t made any blue-dog votes. She voted FOR gun control. She’s as liberal and North-eastern Democrats, and that could hurt her in a state that is trending red.

I really want her gone, just to see Senator Brannon in action.

If they can't take out the RAT from Alaska then it isn't going to happen. Certainly there has to be a decent Repub /Conservative to run against him? Hello Sarah!

Repeal and replace... with free-market capitalism. Free markets are always best. Anything else would be unconstitutional anyway.

Sarah won’t run.

In the race right now, you have Miller, Sullivan, and Treadwell.

Treadwell’s conservative credentials are questionable, and Miller will lose.
I’m backing Sullivan

You have to remember Alaska is not as red as people think it is.
Begich is a very experienced campaigner, political operator, and fundraiser. He’s not going to be easy to take down.

The easiness of each race, as I’d rank them, is as follows.

South Dakota
West Virginia
Montana - DRAW - Arkansas
Louisiana
Alaska
North Carolina
Michigan
Iowa
New Hampshire
Colorado

The reason I say Landrieu is more vulnerable than Begich is because she was excoriated during the 2010 town halls. Begich wasn’t given much heat from what I can remember. Louisiana hates Obamacare, and will punish Mary in 2014.

Yes, “don’t listen to the NYTimes” ... Today’s FR has a post from NYTimes doing just that. But get this: it is an opinion piece from a GENETIC republican self-described, name of John Taft, descendent of Willam H.Taft former pres.

It is an appalling piece certain to be held close by those loyal RINO repubs of the elite party nincompoops. Even talks about McCarthy hearings— honest to God, and how Repubs had the “good sense” to remove McCarthy after Welch’s “have you no decency” .Compares Ted Cruz to McCarthy— well guess what, BOTH of these guys are/were right!

Here's some ideas: 1) Medical Savings Accounts/most medical expense paid out of pocket (what the prices drop like a rock and service improve), 2) High deductible/cheap medical insurance intended to only cover catastrophic disease and injury, 3) allowing individuals to deduct health insurance cost (like business can), 4) medical tort law reform for starters, and 5) life time Medicaid time limits for able bodied people to protect benefits for those that really can't care for themselves.

-—gives them the jitters? Well, shoot, as soon as they sign up for Odumbocare they’l be able to get a shot for that? They voted for it-—let em wear it-—and fix it by themselves. Begging for Republican help should get some real laughs.
