I thought that it was modeled after Romney Care which seems to be working better than other health care plans around the world. Since every Democracy on earth seems to have a national health care plan, why not us? Rather than bitching why not bring up ideas on how to improve what is coming out? The constant bitching just seems like inane drivel coming from the right wing lunatics that pervade the GOP who simply...

Quit parroting this right winged garbage. Eeewww! Amycare for US Senate Dear Comrade RX, I could write a book about how we’ve lost the constitutional limitations on government, but others have already done that job for me. Here’s a few: Never Enough: America's Limitless Welfare State ; Terms of Engagement: How Our Courts Should Enforce the Constitution's Promise of Limited Government; Restoring the Lost Constitution: The Presumption of...

Obamacare is the law, upheld by the Supreme court. last year's election solidified its standing with the majority (51%) of Americans backing the guy who was President when Obamacare was passed. Grow up. - Obamacare is Killing Us Dear Comrade BD, Yes, we are in the process of attempting to repeal it through a majority vote. That’s what elections are about. That’s what next year’s elections will be about for sure. Thanks for pointing that progressives...

Don wrote: Just how many vacation days did President George W. Bush take during his reign? - Obama on Vacation: The $28,429,533.47 Man Dear Comrade Don, George W. Bush took vacations either at his own home in Texas or at his parents’ place in Kennebunkport. That’s not the same thing as flying off to South Africa on safari or touring Brazil or hanging at Martha’s Vineyard. It’d be nice to see the Obamas go back to Illinois, back to Hyde Park for a vacation, and hey, it would lower their carbon footprint too. But when exactly have liberals been a...

This website is for DUMMIES. - What a Disaster: Obamacare Shows the Dangers of High Capacity Legislation Dear Comrade Jackson, You are correct: The website is, in part, for dummies. And that is what brought you here. Look, we’ve been doing this since the Internet was (eye roll) invented by Al Gore. We kind of have an idea what we are doing when it comes to luring you liberal trolls who are graduates from the Soros Academy of Remedial Writing and Logic. Hence,...

(sigh) It does run it thru multiple scanners. One is a bio scanner - developed since the "white powder" scare - that can locate poisons, etc. Another is a zip code scanner, to electronically put zip codes on the mail so that it can be electronically sorted. This saves time and money... except when your Grammy writes so illegibly that her letter has to be kicked out and a real live human has...

Robert wrote: Powerful: your radio show. Pitiful: not being able to listen to a recent show of yours online, when life keeps you from listening to it live. Or have I just not managed to find the proper webpage? Please help? Dear Robert, That’s very nice of you to say. For folks who don’t listen to the show, on Thursdays we play clips of politicians saying things, like when Elbert Guillory changed parties, or when Obama’s press Jester Jay Carney said that Benghazi was a long time ago, and I judge them either “powerful” or “pitiful.” You might guess where...

Obamacare wasn't so much the reason the city cut retiree insurance, as the excuse it gave them to say that they weren't really being dropped. - Obama Solves Mass-Layoff Problem by Laying Off Mass-Layoff Statistics Guys at BLS Dear Comrade 813, I think they had no choice once they negotiated a contract that allowed retirees to have benefits that the city knew it couldn’t afford. That’s outrageous enough. But to make matters...

I better find some way to spin this story into how the Volt is an utter failure! If anyone disagrees with me I'll just call them a troll and question their conservative credentials!" (It seems John also deleted his comment where he called one of his critics a troll and accused them of pretending to be a conservative). "Someone should give me a...

Right, that's why they are discontinuing their conference for lack of funding. What a great success. Dear Comrade Hal, Your comment would be interesting if it was actually true. But like a lot of things that liberals talk about it’s not accurate; wishful thinking maybe, but not correct. In fact, Heartland just held their 8th annual Climategate conference in Europe. As Joe Bast from Heartland blogs: “Our Eighth International Conference on Climate Change, held in Munich on November 30-December 1,...
