My prediction is that Romney will attempt to support
RomneyCARE over ObamaCARE, despite the fact that
he ruined the Commonwealth’s medical system (much
higher fees, much longer waits, fewer docs,
less care all around) and then fled to California.

Good morning, AB and all.

Hope everyone had a safe NY’s Eve - wishing you all good health, happiness and prosperity in 2014!

AB - don’t want to cut-in to your always great thread, but something that might be interesting to watch/listen to is 3 hours of the Great One, Mark Levin, on C-SPAN 2 today - begins at noon EST.

Per Intolerant in NJ’s thread, it’s also supposed to be on the Internet. Might want to get your recording devices ready. He’s apparently supposed to take calls, too. Wonder if he’ll tell any of the callers to “get of the phone, you big dope!” :-)

Mark Levin is the scheduled guest on this month’s “In-Depth” on C-Span2 today, Sunday January 5th at noon EST. The program will give Mr. Levin three hours of TV/air time to discuss his philosophy and books and to respond to viewers’ comments and questions. Live and unrehearsed - should be fun.

Morning AB, All....

It’s snowy here in the swamps where it seldom snows. We got six inches, goodness, and still dog insists on staying outside.

Thank you AB for reliably doing this thread, EVEN IN THE DRIVING SNOW!

It’s a New Year so Happy to everyone.

Soon, by the end of January I predict, Obamacare will collapse under its own weight.

Anyway, got Kugle in the oven and onion soup in the slow cooker.

2014 is my years folks, don’t know why, but I will walk with Jesus and He will guide me. Cause He has a plan for me.

McCain, Graham said some disparaging words about The One.

Must be that one of them is in a tight election and has to appear to be conservative.

McCain, Graham blast Obama for Al Qaeda-related takeover of Fallujah, call situation 'predictable'

Republican senators on Saturday blamed the Obama administration for Al Qaeda affiliates over-running parts of Iraq, including the city of Fallujah, which the United States secured before President Obama removed all U.S. forces from that country in 2011. Sen. John McCain, Arizona, and Lindsey Graham, South Carolina, called the recent turn of events “as tragic as they were predictable” and suggested Obama misled Americans into believing that Iraqi leaders wanted U.S. forces out of their country. “While many Iraqis are responsible for this strategic disaster, the administration cannot escape its share of the blame,” the senators said in a joint...

Those who complained about Bloomberg and some of the things he pushed — banning 32 oz drinks, etc. — will think those are minor, once de Blasio begins his leftist-insanity.

Rand Paul: healthcare.gov and Obamacare is still a big mess.

Friday, Rush was talking about the doctor who spent 2 hours on the phone with an insurnace company trying to get approval to do a surgery.

I had to chuckle — the doctor called the wrong number; he should have called the IRS liaison to Obamacare.

Income Inequality.

That seems to be the new media hot-button issue, along with immigration reform, for 2014.

Just heard Rand Paul saying he would support legalization of the 11 million illegal aliens so they can come out of the shadows. He would give them work permits and expand the number of guest workers we import.

Rand doesn't seem to draw the connection between the 20 million unemployed/underemployed Americans and the insanity of giving work permits to 11 million lawbreakers and expanding the guest worker program.

Schumer says there will be comprehensive immigration reform (read amnesty) this year. If that happens, kiss the GOP's chances of taking the Senate or even holding the House.
