American Politics during the Obama Presidency

[QUOTE=BlackShirt;436207]
For Doppey, it would be the venue of my choice. However, be assure that this will be my own favorite place. Insofar as ACA, he has only taken this stance just a few days ago. Prior to that, he was a very vocal member of the "gang that can't shoot straight" pushing for rejecting, repealing, then defunding ACA. Now with no more options, he has surrender to the last call, the crash that he is crying for. A praying mantis, he has become, saffron robe, shaved head, bare feet & all.[/QUOTE]Black Shirt, Doppey was one of the seven dwarfs who was boning Snow White.

As far as ObamaCare is considered I have not dropped my opposition to it as a wrongheaded power grab by Democrats which is unworkable in practice, financially unsupportable and needs to be repealed in its entirety. So my views have not changed. With the failure of the Supreme Court to strike it down I have said for some time it should be allowed to go into effect, the result of which will be a similar ground swell of support for Republicans as in 2010. If that occurs in 2014 the Republican's can repeal the law.

I have noticed in today's news the software developers were warning the HHS of problems with the system before the Oct 2nd launch but were ignored. HHS did the final testing of this colossal debacle instead of the programmers so that after so many delays of ObamaCare they could roll out something. Don' tell me it could not have been prevented with the site having fewer hits than many popular sites which run just fine such as Google, PayPal, Wikipedia.

Enough of the "happy talk" let's hear some answers since you so whole heartedly support this turkey.

[QUOTE=Esten;436212]Another good one from PolitiFact. I guess Texas didn't want to support any of those nasty parasites, even if they are veterans.

40,000 veterans in Texas won't get health care because Perry rejected Obamacare's Medicaid expansion
PolitiFact Rated: MOSTLY TRUE
[URL]http://www.politifact.com/texas/statements/2013/oct/17/gilberto-hinojosa/more-veterans-income-qualify-Medicaid-Texas/[/URL][/QUOTE]Esten, please read the article. It does not say 40,000 vets would have been covered by Medicaid if Texas had accepted the expansion of same under ObamaCare. It ESTIMATES from a LEFT WING research group that 40,000 vet's incomes MIGHT fall within the expanded Medicaid guidelines not that they are not getting coverage.

The article barely mentions the VA nor does it even address if the referenced vets have insurance.

Big nothing as usual.

By the way the generous expansion of Medicaid benefits ObamaCare offers eventually shifts the entire expansion costs to the states which accepted it, I.e. Those states citizens now have a new unfunded liability down the road.

[QUOTE=Doppelganger;436220]Enough of the "happy talk" let's hear some answers since you so whole heartedly support this turkey.[/QUOTE]I support universal health care, you don't. And now, we are getting victorious about software? Software can be fix, dude. Even Texans should know that.

[QUOTE=BlackShirt;436223]I support universal health care, you don't. And now, we are getting victorious about software? Software can be fix, dude. Even Texans should know that.[/QUOTE]You are correct, I am against socialized medicine ie ObamaCare.

But this has never been about software and to attempt to change the argument is disingenuous on your part. ObamaCare in fact is not the myth Obama sold everyone and they are now coming to realize none of the promises are true. That is what this is about! The software problem, all 5 million lines of code which needs to be rewritten according to some experts, is just another symptom of the problem, just like part time employment, reduced or terminated benefits, increased costs and the list goes on.

In Houston the networks which are forming to provide services under ObamaCare are tier II or III hospitals, clinics and physicians, none of the tier I hospitals or groups in the Medical Center. You are going to get exactly what one would expect from FMG's, names you can not pronounce, in minimal healthcare settings, PA's or NP's to deliver the service and waiting lines to be seen just like everywhere else that has this type of medical treatment.

No one is claiming "Victory" here because there are not going to be any winners under ObamaCare.

WT69 I know how you like political cartoons . Enjoy. Do you get it?

Only emotion is important.

The O-man, Barack Hussein Obama, is an eloquently tailored empty suit. No resume, no accomplishments, no experience, no original ideas, no understanding of how the economy works, no understanding of how the world works, no balls, nothing but abstract, empty rhetoric devoid of real substance.

He has no real identity. He is half-white, which he rejects. The rest of him is mostly Arab, which he hides but is disclosed by his non-African Arabic surname and his Arabic first and middle names as a way to triply proclaim his Arabic parentage to people in Kenya. Only a small part of him is African Black from his Luo grandmother, which he pretends he is exclusively.

What he isn't, not a genetic drop of, is 'African-American,' the descendant of enslaved Africans brought to America chained in slave ships. He hasn't a single ancestor who was a slave. Instead, his Arab ancestors were slave owners. Slave-trading was the main Arab business in East Africa for centuries until the British ended it.

Let that sink in: Obama is not the descendant of slaves, he is the descendant of slave owners. Thus he makes the perfect Liberal Messiah.

It's something Hillary doesn't understand. How some complete neophyte came out of the blue and stole the Dem nomination from her. Obamamania is beyond politics and reason. It is a true religious cult, whose adherents reject Christianity yet still believe in Original Sin, transferring it from the evil of being human to the evil of being white.

Thus Obama has become the white liberals' Christ, offering absolution from the Sin of Being White. There is no reason or logic behind it, no faults or flaws of his can diminish it, no arguments Hillary could make of any kind can be effective against it. The absurdity of Hypocrisy Clothed In Human Flesh being their Savior is all the more cause for liberals to worship him: Credo quia absurdum, I believe it because it is absurd.

Thank heavens that the voting majority of Americans remain Christian and are in no desperate need of a phony savior.

He is ridiculous and should not be taken seriously by any thinking American.

PASS THIS ON TO EVERY THINKING AMERICAN YOU KNOW!!

Hilary Clinton=acceptable, Barrack Hussein Obama=unacceptable. What do we call that kind of belief? Not racism, something else, but I can't seem to pin it down.

P.S. Nice write up, very eloquent, very discerning, too.

[/QUOTE]Don't fret TL, BS doesn't know anything about "Politics or Religion" either, not to speak of his lack of Constitutional knowledge. And you don't have to write a doctoral dissertation for his satisfaction.

According to BS own words you don't have to back up what you say or offer anything to support your remarks, and he seldom does.

[QUOTE=BlackShirt;436092]I made my point. You don't like it, too bad. You reacted, and now it's time to move on. I don't have to write a doctoral dissertation for your satisfaction.

TL.[/QUOTE]That's ok. Punter is right, all I do is express my opinions. Some like it, others hate it. Most don't give a shit. Often, I surprise myself with what I write. The words seem to have a life of their own, and before I know it, they are out there for all to ridicule. The sentence that our Punter objected, I should have stated, "What is the source of the blind hatred".

In any case, as Punter have highlighted, you don't have to explain yourself.

My man, Dr. Ben Carson in his weekly column at the Washington Times has this to say.

"Rather than complain about ObamaCare, it might be useful to begin to discuss some enhancements or future alternatives that can make it work effectively or provide an alternative if it fails."

Yes, my conservative brother, finally, we can stand together. I knew all along you would come through. Tall, let the arrows, buckshots, insults, barbs fly.

Is this the novel idea we are talking about "brother"?

Under Opinions, Dr. Ben Carson, renowned neurosurgeon at John Hopkins, now retired. Admired and touted by the likes of Hannity & Limbaugh. Unknown by you? Just check with Punter 127 aka wikipedia. He will put you up to date.
