Now allow me to rant....no charge.

WHO IS THIS WITCH Sylvia Mathews Burwell and who is she to speak expertly on Obamacare and Jonathan Gruber’s influence?

AND CHUCK TODD MAKES IT WORSE!

“This guy is playing to every fear the Conservatives have about the Affordable Care Act,” Todd says the very dumb broad Burwell.

She then says that there is bi-partisan support on many things in ACA....insert snort here....and comes up with ending the donut hole!

Come on, I’ve gone into the donut hole last year and this year, it’s done no such thing...maybe in the future but not et. More lies.

And who the hell is Todd to say this DEMOCRAT HIURED Gruber guy is playing to anybody’s fears, much less Conservatives?

Gruber’s telling the damn truth! He ain’t there playing to fears....it’s the TRUTH THAT IS THE PROBLEM!

Okay, taking breath now....will be back.

[Twotone]

They should also look up “Stalin’s Useful Idiots”. That’s what I call them.

[InterceptPoint]

Be careful what you ask for. Remember this rule: Correlation Does Not Equal Causation. You will need to prove to me that a 2012 shutdown equals a 2014 election victory. Maybe it helped. Probably it didn’t.

The Dems are hoping and praying for a Shutdown. The media is doing the same thing. Chris Wallace was PATHETIC today as he practically begged for GOP support for a shutdown.

[Fishtalk]

What you say is sort of my point IP.

I don’t get this horror at a gubmint shutdown. As I understand some 2 out of three gubmint workers still reported to work. The rest used personal days or were given some sort of leave.

We didn’t feel the effects of this gubmint shutdown down here in the swamps of Delaware at all.

They NEVER stop the gubmint checks, do they?

I’m suspicious that gubmint shutdown horrors, at least as they are currently occurring....are more a liberal/blue blood elite shock and suicidal threat of life going on without the gubmint.

Remember, the American people are stupid. Many of them do not know they the gubmint is nothing but a bunch of people like themselves, many of them doing much of nothing.

Let the gubmint be shut down too long and the people get antsy, wondering why the gubmint is involved in our lives so obtrusively anyway.

Then pundits such as Brit Hume would be out of work and goodness the Blue Blood elite like McConnell and Boehner.

I just want the truth, cause all I’m hearing about the horror of a gubmint shutdown is smoke and mirrors.

[Twotone]

I pay $389/month for my policy...with a $10,000 deductible!

[rodguy911]

For me the big crime is that all of our immigration is now coming across an unsecured border instead of just small amounts from everyone in the world. It's all totally out of control instead of strictly regulated. The value of being a citizen becomes diluted and costs go through the roof.
We need to pick just a few of the best and the brightest who want to come to the US to become U.S. citizens and melt in with us, learn English, and not colonize.

[Gritty]

Mathews says we can negotiate with Iran but not Tea Party.

That's because the Marxists can find lots of common ground with Iran whereas there is none with the Tea party. You know, birds of a feather, and all that...

[rodguy911]

Uhhh..... ok.LOL! It does go from bizarre to funny.

[Gritty]

The GOPe wants amnesty. They only take issue with the process.

In the end, there are more than enough lamp posts in this country to go around...

[rodguy911]

Missed her last night. She is brilliant.Just another one of the many conservative gals leading the way so maybe the guys can grow a set one day.....

[rodguy911]

LOL hopelessly spoiled but surviving storm season year after year. Not much to survive this year however.

[rodguy911]

Good rant Fish.No doubt there is more bias on NBC than anywhere else. It’s truly relentless.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

I wonder if 0bama cheats at golf?

Well, he plays golf doesn't he?

[rodguy911]

Problem is with Obamcare its all income based which has never been the case with insurance before. Huge difference between income basing and market basing. If you make 200k per year an want a Cadillac policy its expensive as hell.If you make 5 k per year you will be put on medicaid and pay nothing. There is no fairness in zero care.
If I go to buy a car there is only one price. You pay it,or close to it, no matter what.Free enterprise it always works.

[rodguy911]

I would bet your last policy had a much smaller deductible.A ten thousand dollar deductible means you have a major medical policy little else.

[rodguy911]

YEah really “dick”tators that get along....

[ROCKLOBSTER]

They should also look up “Stalin’s Useful Idiots”.

Thanks, that's a good one. I certainly will.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

I pay $389/month for my policy...with a $10,000 deductible!

That's also known as "no insurance".

[ROCKLOBSTER]

So, have you analyzed the co-pays yet?

[Morgan in Denver]

I don’t know. I know he plays “at” golf but I don’t know for sure that he really “plays” golf. As I understand it, the secret service does not allow anyone to photograph his golf nor have people he’s played with ever talked about it. So his golf ethics are unknown. Since we know 0 lies about other things it’s entirely possible he also lies about golf.
