On Voting Republicans Out Of Office

@Baldimo,

Took it personal but didn't answer the question.

You guys can dish it out but you sure can't take it.

@parados,

Birth control vs a knee replacement? Since when did you have to purchase special insurance coverage to get a knee replacement? Prior to the ACA BC coverage was a choice and one I didn't select because I didn't have a need for it. That is how insurance used to work, and it worked well for a vast majority of US citizens. You purchase it to use it in the event something happens, you insure against a hazard or poor health. The govt has created a one size fits all solution that doesn't fit everyone. I have no need for BC coverage but I'm forced to pay for it so that Sandra Fluke doesn't have to pay for hers. It's another redistribution plan and no longer insurance.

@Baldimo,

I never once read you defending Sarah Fluke from Rush Limbaugh and she wasn't ******* some other guy while her old man was standing post on the line.

Just sayin'.

@Baldimo,

States have long dictated what insurers need to cover in order to sell insurance. New laws have prevented gender based insurance for a while.

The truth doesn't hurt, cheap personal attacks are your specialty it seems.

How do feel about your insurance company paying for your ED medications?

This is the cheap meaningless shots I'm talking about. No reason for you to get personal with me. By the way, I don't need ED pills, we'll save those you old man.

How do you feel about adding unexpected children to your insurance pool raising your premiums?

The desperate calling of the left, "It's for the kids!!!" Those people who have kids end up paying for that extra kid in their own insurance premiums, same goes for getting married.

Quote:

How do you feel about these extra children raising your property taxes for new schools?

I live in the CO, we have TABOR. Taxes don't go up unless the people vote on it. I have voted for some tax increases for the schools and voted against others. It depends on what they are asking for and the reasons for it. A few years ago they tried to raise taxes to cover costs for the teachers unions. I voted against it, and so did 60% of the people who live in CO. Here is CO we have total control of our tax policy, we took that away from the politicians about 30 years ago when they proved they couldn't run a budget and kept raising taxes. That doesn't happen anymore. The citizens control the taxes here, not the politicians.

How did you feel about the taxes wasted teaching you how to use condoms in boot camp? Did you protest or giggle like an eight year old?

They didn't teach us how to use a condom in boot camp, we learned how to be soldiers. I was 30 when I went to boot camp and was already married with 2 kids. I was the old man of my platoon.

Why do you support the deployed soldiers wife banging the politician?

Who said I supported it, I just wanted some proof that it happened. I know how Rex is with those he disagrees with. If you are to the right of Rex, you are open to all ridicule and dispersion. I was only asking him to back his post.

@parados,

Bet you that baldino doesn't recognize the Republican principle od allowing states to regulate this side of the insurance industry to meet the specific needs of the individual state. Something I as a Republican support. Baldino thinks he's a conservative "Republican" er Libertarian, but he's really a Harry Truman tightwad boot straps Democrat. Hey baldino, what did you think of your GI Bill benefits? Socialist, ain't it?

Libertarians are generally Republicans who want to smoke pot and pay no taxes for anything.

That got thrown out the window with the ACA. The Feds now tell us what is good for us and what is not. Did you miss that part of the ACA, it no longer allows states those controls, the Feds set a once size fits all, which doesn't fit everyone.

You should really hate the ACA then. States no longer have that control.

There is a "m" in there, not a "n". I didn't get the GI Bill, I joined as a reservist. Plus I wasn't serving for what I could get out of it, I did it for what I could offer. I wanted to pay my country back with more than just taxes. I guess that is the difference between us, I did it for honor and you did it for free college and health care.

You might be onto something about the smoking pot, I do enjoy my smoke in the after hours.

Pay no taxes? Did you read what I said about CO and Tabor? You can try that cheap ploy on someone else. You are playing the all or nothing game, and that's not how things work. Wanting lower taxes is not the same as wanting no taxes.

Non-responsive? I answered everything. Just because you didn't like the answers doesn't mean they were non-responsive. You're mad because you got nothing to use against me. I'm much more forth coming then any of you on the left. I didn't answer questions with questions or dodge like you and Parados are very apt at doing.

Absolutely ass backwards. The states not only retain the self regulation of insurance, but the payment of the medical services has been privatized and not only that, gave the private enterprises what they've always wanted - a risk pool that had everybody in it. Insurance companies have always claimed this pool would radically bringdown coss and premiums and guess what? They are. The ACA is a Republican response to health care policy. The Democratic response is single payer, like they have in socialist countries like UK, France, Germany, Canada, Italy, Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Spain .......

You're a Truman Democrat. Admit it!

Former Neo-Nazi Candidate for U.S. Senate Arrested

Source: SPLC

January 22, 2015 - 1:41 pm

Robert Ransdell, the neo-Nazi who ran for U.S. Senate in Kentucky last year under the slogan “With Jews We Lose” – he didn’t win, by the way – was arrested in the Blue Grass State as he prepared to protest a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event in the small city of Florence.

Ransdell, who was carrying a sign that read, “Happy Machin’ Lootin’ Killin’ Day,” was taken away by police on Monday shortly before the event was scheduled to begin at 3 p.m., a spokesman for the Florence Police Department told Hatwatch today. Ransdell was charged with trespassing in a city owned government building.

“I feel depressed at the fact that I was arrested,” Ransdell told the neo-Nazi website, The Daily Stormer. “I have been able to walk that line over the years and it is something I have taken pride in, getting out there balls to the wall and at the same time not being shackled for doing so.”

Ransdell said he was arrested after police – “agents of the Jew-Negro Occupation government,” according to the website – asked him to leave the building and he refused. “It was just the record of token harassment I have got from this city in particular for my political activity in the past,” he said, “that moved me to just refuse to be bullied around anymore.”

Clinton Holds Solid Leads Over All GOP Challengers

Hillary Clinton’s “potential place in history and her husband’s tenure in the White House boost her presidential prospects, while Jeb Bush’s political legacy and Mitt Romney’s 2012 run for the office are negatives,” a new ABC News/Washington Post poll finds.

“Clinton leads both in hypothetical head-to-head matchups at this early stage – as well as Rand Paul, Chris Christie and Mike Huckabee alike. The national survey finds 53 to 56 percent support for Clinton among registered voters against each of these potential Republican candidates, while they get 39 to 41 percent. One reason is that Clinton is stronger in her political base, given the far more fragmented nature of the current GOP field.”

As with Barack Obama, the recovery helps Clinton. About three-quarters of registered voters who rate the economy positively support her, and she leads overwhelmingly among those who say they’ve gained ground financially under Obama’s presidency. But she also leads, by 16 to 20 points, among those whose finances have just held steady.

Clinton has a strong advantage among those who see income inequality as a major problem, and she runs essentially evenly vs. these potential Republican nominees among those who think it’s a problem, but not a major one. She trails only among those who don’t think the income gap is a problem – just 16 percent of registered voters.

Women favor Clinton by 20- to 24-point margins, men by non-significant 2- to 7-point margins. She’s also strong among racial and ethnic minorities, adults under 40 and lower-income voters.

No. The ACA set a minimum that states have to meet. Many states already exceeded that minimum and have higher standards. The federal government does this with a lot of things. It set a minimum states have to meet for Medicare, unemployment insurance, civil rights, voting rights etc.

@parados,

Setting a standard that wasn't needed is exactly why the ACA is BS. There are portions we can agree that needed to be done, but making it mandatory and then saying you were going to be fined for not having insurance was over the line. I'm sorry did I say fine? I meant to say tax, you get taxed for not having insurance. I get the 2 mixed up, Obama and his people prior to the SCOTUS hearing kept using both terms. I guess which ever stuck to the wall.

By forcing coverage it stops being insurance doesn't it. The states were doing it right in the first place, the feds didn't have to step in.

That must mean you don't have insurance on your vehicles then because it's not insurance if the government makes you carry it. Of course it's insurance. You pay an insurance company a premium and they pay if you have a claim.

The states were not doing it right as evidence by the increase in the number of people with insurance and the fact that fewer people with insurance will need to declare bankruptcy because they found out too late that their insurance was crap.

CREW Files Complaint Against Rep. Louie Gohmert For Billing London Trip to Campaign

Source: CREW

Washington, D.C. —Today, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed a complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics against Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) for violating House ethics rules by using campaign funds to pay for a trip to England last fall unrelated to any campaign activities.

In its most recent report to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), Rep. Gohmert’s campaign committee listed expenses related to a trip the congressman took to England in November and December of 2014, including $5,451.39 to the five-star Andaz Liverpool Street hotel in London, $396.12 to the Old Bank Hotel in Oxford, and $234.54 for a taxi ride in Cambridgeshire. While in England, Rep. Gohmert held speaking engagements with groups including the Cambridge Union Society, the Rothermere American Institute, the Federalist and Henry Jackson Societies, and a joint group from the U.K. House of Lords and House of Commons.

“Rep. Gohmert’s legendary tirades may put him in high demand for public speaking engagements, but that doesn’t give him license to bill a luxury London vacation to his campaign,” said Anne Weismann, CREW’s Interim Executive Director. “The congressman can’t credibly claim that speeches made to those who can’t vote for him served the purpose of getting him reelected.”

House rules prohibit members from using campaign funds to pay expenses that are not related to a campaign or political purpose. Travel expenditures can be paid for with campaign funds only when the primary purpose of the trip “serves a bona fide campaign or political purpose.” Rep. Gohmert’s trip, which included speaking engagements unrelated to his campaign activities and for which he did not file an Expenditure Report Concerning Official Foreign Travel with the Clerk of the House, satisfied personal obligations, not campaign purposes.
