On Voting Republicans Out Of Office

I'm with you. I had no problem with W, I didn't want Gore and in fact it seemed to me that Gore didn't want the job and I was surprised how quickly he folded over the chads in Florida. When Sept 11 happened I don't think anyone called for restraint more than I. W turned me away from W. He's the last Republican I voted for in a national election. I did vote for Clinton's re-election. And I voted Kerry in W's re-election.

One of the more surreal campaign ads of all time.

It is more destructive to vote for the party that simply borrows money to pay for the things they want to give us.

Of course, your insurance NEVER went up in cost prior to 2012. You obviously didn't have insurance through the 90s or 2000's.



And you seem to not give a damn about the millions of Americans that had no health coverage at all. It's only about you as far as you are concerned.

You still have never told us how much of your insurance your company stopped paying when your personal cost went up. I will bet the company's share didn't double when yours did.

What complete and utter nonsense from you Baldimo. The ACA doesn't require them to provide health insurance to part time workers so it's the fault of the ACA that they aren't providing health insurance to part time workers. It looks like it's a business decision Baldimo based on them not being required to provide it.

No one else seems to be thinking about me and my family, so I have to do it. Just as the case with why I should vote for the Dems. Nothing in the Dem party has any positive effect for me and mine. Sorry to be selfish but as I said, no one else cares what happens to me and my family so of course I have to look out for them and my bottom dollar. You sure don't care about my family and what things cost us.

Has my insurance gone up every year? I've address this before by saying yes it has but by only $20-$50 a month, not $200+ a month. This was the single biggest jump I had seen in my insurance costs since I first started carrying insurance and that goes back to 2000, and it all rests on the shoulders of the ACA. I know it doesn't fit your narrative but those are the facts.

No one seems to have been thinking of more than 8,000,000other people's health concerns and now ACA means they don't have to worry about that for themselves anymore. It means taxpayers are off the hook for wasted Emergency Room visits.

Not to ask you another question you've already not answered many times before, but have you looked into ACA insurance?

Also, why do you conflate the VA, which is very good health care you spent six years earning, with ACA? You being on VA might well in and of itself significantly lower your premium with your current cadilac health insurance.

Why won't you respond to just a couple of questions with full answers?

Questions have been answered. You guys didn't like the answers and prefer to push the blame instead of let it rest where it belongs, with the ACA and its mountains of regulations.

Walmart just announced that they were having to cut insurance for 30,000 workers who had insurance prior to the ACA, due to the cost of providing insurance, thanks to the regulations forced on us by the ACA. They were not the first retailer to make such a move. Once again all the problems you were warned about are coming to roost. How much worse is it going to be when the rest of the ACA mandates fully kick in? Notice how Obama, without consent from Congress, made up his own timelines and notice how those timelines all fall after elections? It's a sham.

8 million "new" insurance holders? Considering that about 4 million of those people already had insurance and had it canceled due to regulations in the ACA. Don't forget "If you already have insurance, you can keep that insurance". Does that ring a bell?

GOP Pulls Plug on Michigan

"Republicans are canceling TV ad spending planned for the final two weeks of Michigan's U.S. Senate race, signaling that the GOP is investing in other races in its drive for the Senate majority," the AP reports.

"Other outside groups, too, are bailing on Michigan, suggesting it's fallen out of reach" for Terri Lynn Land (R) in her race against Gary Peters (D).

Former whistleblower attacks Florida governor over healthcare fraud
Source: Reuters

An accountant who became an FBI whistleblower in a Medicare fraud investigation against a hospital chain spoke out on Monday, saying the company's former chief executive, Florida Governor Rick Scott, must have known about hundreds of millions of dollars in theft.

"Fraud was brewing in the DNA of Rick Scott's company from the very beginning, and he was the father of it," John Schilling said at a news conference organized by the rival gubernatorial campaign of Democrat Charlie Crist.

Scott is facing off against Crist in a close election battle, an expensive and closely watched political race for the nation's largest swing state.

Scott, a founder of the hospital company Colombia/HCA, was ousted as its chief executive officer in 1997 but not charged in the case. The fraud led to $1.7 billion in federal penalties, which was then the largest healthcare fraud settlement in U.S. history.

Like I said. cj without the Ritalin. You never answered those questions.

If ACA had mountains of regulations, how would you know? Do you think eight million of the poorer Americans swam through mountains of regulation? Lets see those statistics on half of the ACA insured were canceled out of their other insurance? And even if they were, weren't they also glad they got superior coverage for cheaper premiums? There were people who went off medicaid because they could finally afford health care insurance. ACA is a Republican way of dealing with health care as a national policy.

Hells bells, Baldino, its a privatizing of a government concern. I thought you'd be all over that.

Right, you are a selfish **** that could care less about any but you. We get that.

And you still haven't shown us what your company is paying on your insurance compared to what they were paying before. Many companies have decided to pay less or not pick up any of the increase. That means you would see a large increase that has nothing to do with the ACA. But you want to blame one thing and one thing only. Damn any other reasons. It's all Obama's fault.

What a bunch of bullshit from Walmart. They decided to make a business decision and cut insurance for 30,000 PART TIME workers because the law didn't require them to pay it. They would rather push those workers unto the insurance exchanges and have the rest of us pick up the tab since they prefer to line the pockets of the Walton family.

Us taxpayers subsidize $2.8 billion in profits to the Walton stockholders by providing welfare to WalMart workers. This is bull ****. Screw the Waltons.

Stock market has best day of 2014
Source: CNN

By Matt Egan @mattmegan5 October 8, 2014: 5:02 PM ET

Wall Street's nightmares about the Federal Reserve just got a lot less scary. In fact, it looked downright dreamy in the stock market Wednesday.

The Dow surged 275 points -- its best performance of the entire year -- after a new report suggested the Fed isn't ready to lift interest rates off the floor just yet.

That comes as a big relief to the stock market, which has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Fed's easy-money policies.

McConnell Steps Out From Behind The Curtain & Speaks to Big Blue Nation ---It's a Disaster.
Today he stepped from behind the curtain and called into a radio show. And spoke.
...................



Then this week on Monday a reliable poll drops and Grimes is up 46-44.
McConnell gets beat up on the radio by Jones again on Monday and Tuesday.

Finally McConnell calls in himself just a few minutes before eleven today. He will come in on in five minutes. Obviously tactical . . . he denies Jones a chance to prepare.

McConnell is combative throughout the interview. Condescending. Won't answer questions. Scripted. A disaster.

Why is this important? This is the LARGEST audience that will hear the candidates. Many more people (I'd suspect) listened to McConnell today on the radio than will hear Grimes and McConnell debate on Monday night on public television.

I've linked to the interview via Ky Sports Radio. It's 14 minutes long and well worth a listen in learning about McConnell's condescension and sense of entitlement that he is Kentucky's senator. And as a sidenote, he tries to play to the Kentucky audience that he is a HUGE Kentucky fan. Everyone knows this is a bunch of crap.

..........

Anyway. Listen on. This is an important one if you're following this race.

If D's are so great why cant they convince the people of nine of the ten poorest states to support them? And what does this fact do the the D's argument that the R's are the party of the wealthy?

Why should they? If people can't realize all by themselves that they are voting to harm themselves, that's their problem. As I've said often, "There's No Cure For Stupid (TNCFS)."

Politics as in religion is chosen by the individual. Have you ever tried to change anyone's belief in their politics or religion?

Quit asking stupid questions.
