Obamacare Is Dead and Here's Why [Obamacare Ongoing Thread]
Town Hall ^ | 1-26-10 | Robert A. Levy

Posted on 01/25/2010 11:27:02 PM PST by JustPiper

As the Massachusetts blame game unfolds, the president’s unpopular health bill leads the list. But the substantive provisions of the bill were just part of the problem. Perhaps more important, voters were appalled by how the deal unfolded.

Consider the pre-election giveaway to the labor unions. Negotiators agreed to exempt union contracts until 2018 from the tax on so-called Cadillac health-insurance plans. That backroom bargain not only outraged the voters, it also violated the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, requiring the federal government to extend equal protection of the laws to all U.S. persons. Of course, not all voters understood the constitutional nuances, but they sensed that something was very wrong; and they reacted.

I have been disturbed by the socialists for years, ever since I learned many members of Congress 'openly' joined the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America). Several years ago, the names were published on the DSA site. (since removed of course) Please post any info you have, many of you have been on this issue for many years, & if we can store it all on one thread, we have our FreeRepublic Warehouse on the enemies of the state. How DO we combat this, when it's coming at us from every angle? When the people have been asleep for decades. Please post anything you have found or accumulated. Also choose a dictator these people follow, of particular interest,those in D.C. who have been quoted with their adulation of one.

Communism- Marxism-Leninism-Stalinism-Trotskyism-Maoism- Hoxhaism-Hoxhaism-Titoism ETC

Obama and his people are just plain crazy.

Add to that the thuggery they use via media, press and internet to go after anyone and everyone who disagrees with them. It's NOT a case of just disagreeing and going on with their lives, but actively pursueing those and attempting to mock them that sets him and his people apart from the rest of us. The idiots haven't figured out that bullying isn't just a problem with kids, but with progressives and liberals who insist on their view being the only view.

Pew Survey: Republicans better informed than democrats

Snips: Out of the 12 multiple-choice questions asked in a Pew Research Center phone survey of more than 1,000 adults, Republicans answered an average of about 6 questions correctly compared with 5 for Democrats.

Republicans trounced Democrats on a question about the percent of U.S. imports of oil that we consume. Nearly 70 percent of Republicans knew the answer to be two-thirds, while just over half of Democrats got that one correct.

One of the largest gaps between political parties showed up in a question of who leads the U.S. Senate. About half of Republicans could identify Nevada Senator Harry Reid as the current majority leader, while only a third of Democrats could do the same, even though Reid is their own party’s Senate leader.

Amidst all the catcalls and raspberries directed at Zero's SOTU speech this week - Fred Barnes
Called it the "least fresh" and most cliché-ridden such speech in over 30 years - I must admit I thought it was great. Perfect, in fact. We couldn't have asked for anything better.
As Forrest Gump observed, "Stupid is as stupid does." It doesn't get much stupider than to ignore the First Rule of Holes - when you're in a hole, stop digging - except to insist that the way to get out of the hole is to keep digging ever more feverishly, and to blame everyone but yourself for the hole you're in.
The SOTU speech confirmed that we have a narcissistic fool for a president - all ego and no brains. He is, with stupidly obdurate stubbornness, going to keep doing exactly what has caused his agenda to fail and his approval ratings to sink ever lower.
This almost guarantees that he will keep his party on the path to electoral disaster in November. How could we ask for more?

Jack Kelly
A CNN poll released Tuesday (1/26) indicated only 30 percent of Americans want Obamacare passed in anything approaching its present form. But in his SOTU, the president urged Congress: "Do not walk away from reform. Not now. Not when we are so close."
A CNN poll released Monday (1/25) indicated nearly 75 percent of Americans think at least half the money in the "stimulus" bill passed in February -- which the Congressional Budget Office said Tuesday will cost $862 billion -- has been wasted. But in the SOTU, Mr. Obama urged the Senate to pass a $154 billion second stimulus bill the House passed last month.

Jack Kelly
The performance of the stock market was the one bright spot in the otherwise dismal year for the economy in 2009. The Dow Jones Industrial average rose 65 percent from its March low, causing many to hope it was a harbinger of recovery.
President Barack Obama has fixed that. Last week the Dow fell 552 points in the three trading days since the president announced his plans to "reform" the financial services industry.
Of course -- solve the wrong problem, demonize Wall Street, and misdirect attention away from the real culprits, politicians in Washington. Perhaps this president should be nicknamed "Red Herring" Obama.
