People should start throwing rocks at democrats.

You're being far too kind. I prefer the tar, feathers and rope approach myself.

I really think 1/3 of this country is permanently brain-dead.

Incorrect! In 2008, it was 47% that were permanently brain-dead. Unfortunately in 2012, that number rose to 52%.

The bastards outnumber us now.

It amazes me to see the Democrat in denial.

Obamacare is going to phuck tens of millions of people and the Democrats own it.

Do they really think people will elect them again?

See Greece, and you see our future. People are really not that different.

The reason Obamacare will fail is it ignores the science of actuaries. Such scientific calculations based upon trends, demographics, social science and statistics are the backbone of the insurance industry. It is economic principle that is characteristic of the free market system. The Democrats have ripped out that backbone and have sent America’s health care system on a plane ride to disaster.

The Democrats have ignored economic principle when the insurance pool is weighted towards the most sick and penalizes the healthy by increasing their premiums — so much so that some will choose to pay the small penalty rather than participate. This design ignores the fundamentals of actuarial realities where the larger numbers of healthy support the costs of the sick.

Because Obamacare must be issued to everyone who applies with a one-size-fits-all coverage, it sets up another failure. The sick will sign up when they get sick and, because of its one-size-fits-all cost, will drop it when they are cured. The pool will get sicker with fewer healthy people to cover the costs. It will cause premiums to rise with devastating results to the system.

Another problem is Obamacare will force more employers to put their workforce on 32 hour work weeks to avoid the responsibility of covering them. This will lower the purchase power of the workers who will not be able to afford the rising cost of the premiums.

The Obama Syndicate’s utter disregard for the practical consequence of its reckless experiment has put one-sixth of the United States’ economy at risk. May the Democrats go down with their disastrous scheme and be out of power for decades to come.

A belief in socialism is predicated on a complete misunderstanding of economics and a total disregard for capitalism's realities. Coupled to, of course, an abject inability to learn from experience...

You think business is bad now?? Wait until all that disposable income is eaten up by Obamacare. People should start throwing rocks at democrats.

Just as I've been telling Dem voters for the past few years -- except it won't be rocks being thrown.

Lots of people know what sort of signs their neighbors had in their yards for recent elections, and they won't forget when their kids start missing meals, missing dental visits, missing all the little things that keep kids reasonably contented.

Dem voters will get the blame, and rightly so.

Weren't Generals Washington, Grant and Eisenhower pretty much drafted into the presidency by acclimation? Can we do that again in the 21st Century?

Yes. And each of those was shortly after a war that changed the course of history.

We can do that again -- not by choice, but probably by necessity.

The only thing she got wrong is that the death panels aren’t going to be the type you can argue your case in front of. The rules will be written by committee, enforced by committee, and you’ll get the decisions as faits accomplis.

Not only do these Yahoos ignore economic law, they also ignore Natural Law which is the basis of our Constitution. It will be decades of work to weed these Yahoos out of the political landscape. I compare it to tracking down the Nazi war criminals who number about 9,000.

Thanks for the ping. Yet another stunning photo of her. Her strength is inspiring, I honestly don’t know how she does it. May our Lord forever keep her safe.

No one in America will be left unscathed by Obamacare. Please trust me on this. The media can repeat all the bogus White House stats they want about false claims like the individual mandate “only affects 5% of the public,” but they can’t change reality – NUMBERS DON’T LIE – and America is about to get “mugged by reality” very soon, to paraphrase Irving Kristol.

Washington and Grant were, at least. And Eisenhower could have had the nomination of either party in 1952.
I think you’ll recall the tagline, “DRAFT PALIN,” which I used starting before the campaign for the ’12 Republican nomination got under way (January of ’10, IIRC). I warned at the time that the alternative was probably “future president” (yeah, right) Romney.

But it just seems to be hard to get conservatives to coalesce around a single candidate.

Good post. Your reference to getting “sucker punched” made me realize something.

The Kenyan is trying to be Knockout King.

It’s the third world inner city thug playing high stakes games with our lives.
That way he can slap hands with his Marxist friends and brag about knocking someone out cold.

And according to leftists and a whole lotta Palinphobic "conservatives" (including ones here on FR) ... she's supposed to be dumb? "Not presidential"??

I have a feeling that about 99.9 percent of Palin haters on both the left and the right have never actually read or heard Palin's words, but are instead basing their opinions of Palin on what others say she said. Palin is eminently sensible every time.

For someone who is “well-known as a world-class idiot” she certainly turns out to be right more than the media (who call her that)
