Congratulations, House Republicans!

Talk like that shows how unqualified you are.

No, its hows how far into denial you are.

Denial of what?

You don't handle questions very well, do you?

Obamacare reality bites Republican butts

by Joan McCarter

House Republican ineptitude at governing has been no more apparent than in the Obamacare repeal and replace debacle they've imposed on the nation for the past three years. The repeal part, they got that down after 40-some votes. The replace part, however, that takes actual hard thinking and policy making, something the Republican party lost interest in years ago. So it's looking increasingly like they're just going to give up on it.

House Speaker John Boehner, the top U.S. Republican, told reporters on Thursday that it was important for Republicans to come up with "better solutions" on healthcare.

But Boehner would not commit to putting a Republican alternative to a vote this year. Pressed on his plans to move legislation, he said the party would continue discussions on replacing Obamacare and seek member input. "We're going to go through a lot of ideas," Boehner said.

Part of the problem is what we've seen for the whole of Boehner's speakership: he's incapable of leading the tea party contingent he let take control of the conference. They fundamentally don't care about anything other than repeal and they don't want any replacement that has anything at all to do with Obamacare as it exists now. But Republicans can't actually say out loud that they think insurance companies should be able to refuse to sell you insurance because you have a pre-existing condition, or that insurance companies should be able to just dump you for any reason. So now that all those things are actually law, they have to say they want to keep them, but are utterly incapable of coming up with a real plan that would work in the real world.

So, after weeks of promises of a Republican plan emerging from the House, leadership is being forced to walk that promise back. The best part of this is Boehner's lame excuse: they just have too many ideas! "And so, we're going to continue to go through a lot of ideas. You can see our members—they've introduced 126 different ideas about how to fix Obamacare, how to replace Obamacare." Uh, huh.

The second best part is the "hope group." That's Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA), House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and House Republican Conference Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) who are meeting Friday to try to figure out where in the hell to go from here. They "hope" they can find some way out of the repeal corner they've painted themselves into and come up with a plan that House Republicans would actually vote for. I hope they're not holding their collective breath. Meanwhile,
House to vote on a bill to delay individual mandate for a year next week. Will post details shortly.

They just can't resist the siren song of repeal.

And you don't handle facts at all.

How would you know? You just post cartoons.

Stupid AND blind? Or illiterate?

Ted Cruz blows more Obamacare repeal smoke as House GOP throws in towel

by Jed Lewison

In one corner of Washington, D.C., Texas Sen. Ted Cruz blows smoke up the tea party's you-know-what:

“I am absolutely convinced we are going to repeal every single word of Obamacare,” Cruz told the Tea Party audience.

Meanwhile, in another corner, House Republicans let the truth out of the bag: They can't come up with something to replace Obamacare, so instead they are lowering their sights and would be happy to get a one-year delay of one aspect of the law. Specifically:

In the latest salvo against President Obama’s health care law, the House of Representatives plans next week to vote on a bill to delay the individual mandate for a year. [...] The new bill would effectively push back that implementation timeline for a year, by setting the fine at $0 for 2014 and then reducing the 2015 fine to $95 (the current 2014 level).

Remember, this bill is the end result of what Republicans had promised would be yet another effort to repeal Obamacare, except this time with a replacement. Yet even if the House bill were to pass, and President Obama were to sign it, Obamacare would still be intact, the individual mandate would still be intact, and things would be remarkably similar to how they are today. Moral of the story: No matter how many times Ted Cruz whispers sweet nothings in the ear of tea partiers, Obamacare is here to stay—and Republicans know it.

Here you go.

Now just name a Republican that actually said that. That is supposition not fact by a long shot. Now name the Republican. I'll wait.

Find that Republican yet?

You mean other than an opinion backed with no fact at all? You can't be this stupid. You're joking, right? This is a put-on, right?!?!

Aren't cartoons supposed to be about something factual? Mine all have verifiable facts at their core. Yours are just plain mean. Heeeeyyyyy, I know! You don't know the difference between fact and opinion. You think believing it makes it real. Not only a psuedointellectual but a lazy one to boot. The Fred Flintstone School of Reality.

Tea Party or Socialist?

Oakland: Jury finds Tuolumne County man guilty in 2010 gunfight with CHP (plotted against ACLU)
Source: Oakland Tribune

OAKLAND -- A jury on Monday found a Tuolumne County man who hoped to foment a right-wing revolution with a massacre in San Francisco guilty of attempted murder in a 2010 shootout with CHP officers on an Oakland freeway.

Byron Williams, 48, held his face in his hands as he listened to a jury's verdicts convicting him of eight felony crimes.

He faces life in prison for the attempted murder of California Highway Patrol Officers Vincent Herrick, Marcus Holden, Ty Franklin and Todd Owen.

...

He was planning to target "11 high-level participants in the plot to destroy the United States" at the Tides Foundation, the American Civil Liberties Union and other groups because he was distraught over what defense attorney Eric Schweitzer described as "collusive facts behind the BP oil disaster."

You are avoiding my question. Which Republican said they have no plan?

Get used to it. You never respond to mine. Who do you think you???

You haven't asked me anything.

So name the Republican or admit that article was just talking ****.

Blah, blah, blah ...... you're full of hot air and illiterate.

Dexter cancer patient (Boonstra) who called health care 'unaffordable' will save more than $1K
Source: Detroit News

A Dexter cancer patient featured in a conservative group’s TV ad campaign denouncing her new health care coverage as “unaffordable” will save more than $1,000 this year under the plan, The Detroit News has learned.

Julie Boonstra, 49, starred last month in an emotional television ad, sponsored by Americans for Prosperity, that implied Democratic U.S. Rep. Gary Peters’ vote for the Affordable Care Act made her medication so “unaffordable” that she could die. Peters of Bloomfield Township is running for an open U.S. Senate seat against Republican Terri Lynn Land.

Boonstra said Monday her new plan she dislikes is the Blue Cross Premier Gold health care plan — which caps patient responsibility for out-of-pocket costs at $5,100 a year, lower than the federal law’s maximum of $6,350 a year. It means the new plan will save her at least $1,200 compared with her former insurance plan she preferred that was ended under Obamacare’s coverage requirements...

Boonstra is the ex-wife of Mark Boonstra, the former Washtenaw County GOP chairman whom Gov. Rick Snyder appointed to the Michigan Court of Appeals in 2012. Julie Boonstra said she’s never been a political person...

No, your article was full of hot air and you might as well be illiterate. You don't need to read when you are led by the nose. Most likely following the odor coming from the progressive propaganda.

And are you calling this lady a liar? How does the paper know what plan she wanted? She is telling them what she settled for. And notice there is not one word about being able to keep her doctors. She probably can't but the Detroit(a City ruined by liberals) would never say that.

Again half the story means nothing.

Do you have that Republicans name yet?
