The Talk Shows
October 20th, 2013
Guests to be interviewed today on major television talk shows:
FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network): Sens. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Roy Blunt, R-Mo.
MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu; Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew; Sens. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Tom Coburn, R-Okla.
FACE THE NATION (CBS): Sens. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Mark Warner, D-Va.
THIS WEEK (ABC): Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.; Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas; former Gov. Jeb Bush, R-Fla.
STATE OF THE UNION (CNN): Cruz; Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
Fledgling Neo-RINO from New Hampster.
McCain took her under his wing....or something.
They are trying to set the agenda once again assuming that immigration will be next. If Boehner falls for this it could mean the end to conservatism.the agenda should be whatever Boehner wants to bring up in the house. And amnesty should not be anywhere in his bag of tricks...........
Just saw a flick of hill/bitch she looks like the walking dead,all white. No sun in her life,the plight of drac.
Yeah for sure,too bad Mark won’t run against her.The good Mark: Steyn!
The young and healthy don’t know it yet, but they are about to become conservatives. hurry, hurry, we haven’t got all f’n day !
DNC Dave’s entire panel just gushing over hill/bitch all but have her named Queen.I guess the MSM/dbm just can’t get enough of lezbos and fag boys in high offices,figures.
It’s already begun. Conservatives who are waffling on Cruz and the shut down have to be reminded that the media will be lying about him to destroy our side. Just as they did with Sarah Palin and then the Tea Party; now it’s Cruz.
My own conservative brother has fallen for the media assassinations of Palin and has to be reminded how the media is lying to him on a daily basis.
And the media not acknowledging Government is part of the problem of health care insurance only being available through employers. Republicans have better solutions in opening markets across states, health care savings accounts ect. Media not acknowledging that.
I remember well the days when some folks chose taking lesser paying jobs to get health care insurance.
Nowadays Democrats are allowed to force everyone into buying insurance. And it still isn’t so readily available, or even a viable plan. But as long as media can pass the impression all polls agree with Democrats...
Face the Nation tries to save McConnell and Graham this morning, giving them face time, and in passing Bob Schieffer takes a poke or two at Cruz.
McConnell looked stiff, but generally always does. Graham stays in his own universe where he always knows best and all others are silly fools.
Sen. Mark Warren (D) VA gives kudos to Graham about working together, “going forward”.
Graham begs HOR to follow Boehner for Speaker.
* (Rand and Marco support McConnell.)
We know that the number of enrollees will rise as employers drop health care insurance and force their employees into the exchanges. Tens of millions will lose their employer-furnished insurance. It just makes good financial sense for the employers to drop healthcare insurance.
The real criteria should be how much will Obamacare insurance cost, the amount of deductibles and co-pays, etc. I suspect that the uninsured number will go up as people are priced out of the market. They will get insurance when they get really sick since preexisting conditions will no longer apply. And the cost of Obamacare to the taxpayers will skyrocket with the subsidies and a massive increase in Medicaid numbers.
And finally, as the government and the insurance companies suck up more discretionary funds from the consumer in the form of higher premiums, deductibles and co-pays along with higher taxes, our economy will suffer. The health care ecosystem is so complex and huge that we really will not know the unintended consequences of a government takeover of one-sixth of the economy. The roll out of Obamacare should give us a hint of how bad things will be when the government is in charge of such a complex program.
I like Dennis Millers idea.
We should have a one to one relationship between takers and producers.
For instance, my tax dollars would we earmarked for one, or more, welfare cases.
Those welfare receivers would be compelled to write a letter and send a picture back to their sponsor, every three months, and discuss how the welfare check helps their situation
How do you like the new term I coined? ...to describe TEApublican turncoats.
Morning Cousin Kabar,
Haven’t seen you in a while.
This rollout is so bad it’s a failure.
Oncit I had to install a new payroll system for an inner city hospital....Baltimore.
Had two years advance, big money....came day for it to go live (people don’t want to hear about “glitches” causing them to get no paycheck)...IT WORKED!
And I didn’t have the federal gubmint and endless money to throw at that thing.
I’m betting all over America are folks like me, charged with putting in something new, working day and night, and getting it done!
We know the federal gubmint is not up to this challenge.
This is not a winner for these dolts.
Oh, and guess what? Exactly ONE person signed up for Obamacare here in Delaware. That person showed his plan.
Now I know they’re giving subsidies for the prenmium....his was $1000 a month about, when it had been around $300.
But the subsidy will kick in but here’s the hidden cost.
His deductible was $2500!
His prescription deductibe was $1,000.
His co-pay was 70-30.
wait till this guy goes to the doctor and finds out he has to use up $2,500 worth of charges a year before his “subsidized” insurance kicks in, plus one grand of dough before a prescription is purchased.
And when it DOES finally pay something, he will have to pay 30% of the bill.
In short, forget the subsidy, he will have to pay over three grand before the health insurance pays a dime.
These Americans who think this is free with that big subsidy got a lot of learning to do.
Is there anyway we can get Bibi to run for president?Ah, heck, I can dream, can’t I???
Interesting thought.
Bibi sees evil and wants to confront it. Obama is evil, and wants to maximize its impact.
And Doctors have started to demand all the deductable up front, on account, before your first appointment
And exactly because many RAT-states have destroyed their own medical insurance markets.
Yes, you know Rubio is a real Tea Party sympathizer on the mend from his wayward trails, because he supports the Surrender Caucus leader, McConnell. That should do it. /s
Marco is still a bushie.
Right now, more people are losing their insurance, than those buying policies on the exchanges
The only reason ABC is putting on Cruz vs Bush is to further divide the GOP.
They can put Jebba the Hut on, but it won’t sway me.
The more I see the Bush/Clinton loveliest ( Daddy Bush/Billy Jeff) the
more it makes me want no part of Jeb.
Voted to GW twice, and feel he was hung out to dry by “ the architect” et al when they simply allowed the press to bash him with no retort.
That led the way to O for 2 terms.
old rinos. He picked the wrong group to join.
Just like Kelly Ayotte.
Now known as Kelly Id - e - ot.

Agree.
Hannity the other night started to broach this with his liberal/conservative panel, but as usual got distracted and didn’t stay on point.
