He also believes in bigfoot. Seriously.

And he uses Alinsky tactics on any caller that wants to discuss the eligibility issue. But, he is not alone, there.

You said: “I’m very skeptical that it can be stopped, but I’m sure as hell gonna die trying!!!”

I reply: If the People’s Republic of China, a Communist nation can abolish socialized medicine then the US can overturn Obamacare

There is no sane, mainstream, honest Republican or conservative who thinks this is a good idea.”


Medved has assumed “the position”...
He is not crazy, he’s just a whore..

He’s bended over waiting for a shot.. from the democrat doctors..
BUT the doctors are not holding a syringe.. They have something else in thier hands..

What could that be.?.... (hold it I’m thinking)...

There are numerous ways to defund ObamaCare #1 Don’t fund it.It is the prevue of the House to decide what is and what is not funded. End of story. All it takes is political will and guts.

The House already funded a good chunk of it in 2010, under Driving Ms Nancy's supervision.

To strip away what remains of its funding now requires law, passed by the House and Senate and signed by the Won.

The best the House can do now, absent Senate and White House consent, is to can the discretionary spending. But that is subject to all manner of shenanigans and finagling. The House can cry "Illegal!", and be totally right, but enforcement of "Illegal!" requires two thirds of the same Senate which won't pass the House's CR. Absent a CR, implementation of ZeroCare may be the more messy, but the MSM will shake a stick at the missing CR and blame the GOP! Think about it.

Ultimately, it's going to come down to the ballot box, which, unfortunately, isn't until November, 2014. When 2014 comes around, if enough of the sheeple have been screwed blue and royally tattooed on their health care, and if the MSM hasn't managed to deflect blame for same onto the GOP, then we have a chance.

“Congress (specifically the House) has the power of the purse.”

We were taught that in seventh grade civics and it is true. However the larger picture is more complicated. Advocates for various elements put pressure on House members wherever they're vulnerable. Vulnerable to a primary? We'll run somebody against you. Your biggest supporter is agriculture? We'll put pressure on them with a farm bill and they'll put pressure on you. Have something you'd rather not be made public? We have all your phone calls recorded and text messages. Oh, and that Tweet of your penis you did under your assumed name...nice.

Their are two types of people. Those who know it can be done and those who know it can’t be done. Both are right. Instead of calling the republicans the “party of no”, the “Can’t Party” is more fitting.

He promised us that Romney would win, and he should have know what a bad candidate Romney would be.
You know, I believe Romney actually did win, but aka obama, his Chicago thugs, the democrats and Soros's ciphers stole the election. Too bad Romney didn't have the backbone to fight the corruption and make a big stink about the many obvious, impossible regional vote counts (in many large dem controlled precincts, Romney got no votes at all and aka obama got well over 100 percent). And a lot of the electronic voting machines in the swing states were rigged to flip votes from Romney to aka obama.

Romney is no conservative, but unlike aka obama, he at least is a moral, decent human being and does not hate this country.

As to Medved - he is a total tool of the left. He is to real conservatism like a decoy is to real ducks - he leads the politically unwary into dangerous territory.

Medved appears to be saying we are helpless pawns.

Did he offer a plan to stop this intrusion into our lives?

Does he not remember that FDR’s first attempts at socialism were also defeated?

Does he not realize that Obamacare is unpopular four years after it passed?

Does Medved not think the opinion of the American people about the monstrosity of Obamacare is worth defending?

Medved wants what McCain and Graham want. He always has.

“So what are they doing, they’re advancing their own careers, they’re advancing their own presidential campaigns and meanwhile, destroying the party that I care about. Destroying any chance at all for Republicans to either win the Senate or to, increasingly, hold the House. I think we could lose the House over this.”


In my casual conversations and ‘chats’ I have found that the most common spontaneous thing being said by others is: “If it is an incumbent I’m voting against him.”

The mood as far as I can see is that the Congress is corrupt and/or ineffectual and needs to be replaced.

The brain trust of Fox News Special Report, Charles Krauthammer, opined several weeks ago on the subject of obamacair...’they should let it collapse under it’s own weight’.

I find it somewhat telling that he hasn’t used the same words again, the latest utterance he has come up with is...’IF he (Cruz) doesn’t win, he can run for Prime Minister of Canada’ (snarky) BUT he didn’t say he doesn’t stand a chance.

“Look up in the sky...it’s a bird..it’s a plane...NO, it’s a Cruz Missile”

They should attack Obamacare in court under the Equal Protection Act in light of the new waivers given to Congress and Big Labor.

He is 100%. A lot of Conservatives are going to be angry when they realize they were played like violins by Cruz and Hannity.

Well, I’ll tell you this. I’ll no longer listen to Medved wherever I find him on the radio, and I WILL send an email to Rush Limbaugh asking him not to have Medved substitute for him on any more of his radio shows.

The very idea for Medved to suggest that Cruz is trying to further his own career and prepare for a Presidential run is ludicrous, and it is a childish hurtful thing to say in my opinion. Sure, I’d expect that from other Senators, name most any one of them. But not Cruz.

Cruz is probably the most hated man in Washington DC right now. That goes for both parties. A pariah among even his own body of equals - that special group where they all speak so highly of one another. Like our Republican RINO friends there saying Ted Kennedy, Byrd, and so many others were ‘fine’ gentlemen...horseshit.

Ted Cruz got elected Senator and did something almost none of the others do. He got to Washington and started trying to do what he told his constituents would do. He jumped headlong into a pile of shit and kept battling, thinking and staying true. He is fighting a supposed law that nobody wanted but a conniving Congress and a tyrannical President who rammed it through using the most devious of means.

And, all this Michael Medved can say from his cushy talk job is that he doesn’t want Cruz to “tear apart the party he so loves.”

Well, Mr. Medved, here’s what I say, “I’d sooner see the Republican Party decimated to the core and their hallowed offices burn to the ground before I ever vote for, listen to (even the likes of you), or support again. I’ll never again vote for a Republican RINO, no matter what the alternative.

Maybe we should require all politicians to run for office naked. So that we voters can see what pricks most of them really are? No (we know that anyway), just so they’re not vulnerable to blackmail concerning their tweets. Problem solved! Got any more problems? I’m in a solving mood today, happy to help ya. Smile. Smile. Smile. Best regards,

Exactly. I heard a little blurb about him describing him as another version of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.

The only difference is when Mr. Cruz went to Washington he wasn’t disillusioned with what he found, he KNEW what a swamp it was and stood his ground and ,against all odds, forged ahead in spite of it.

It’s the true sign of bravery and courage.
