Yep, it’s noticeable, the ‘good’ Republican points are getting enthusiastic applause, while ‘good’ Democrats points are getting mediocre applause
strategy still to pass the senate bill unedited, then the recon bill...Obama will sign it tonight.
Stunning and equally sickening. We should not be witnessing the overthrow of our Republic on TV. We should be fully engaged somehow.
Not Boehner but someone from California. I’m confused as I was wondering if that indeed was the motion to recommit however I have my doubts.
It'll never happen.
And we WILL make them pay in NOV.
I think that is what is known as a troll. Ugly inside and out.
Why, you are welcome Sir...
If the House votes on the Senate bill (appears to be about to happen), then he can sign it immediately.
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...thanks for that :-)
It was Dan Lundgren from Elk Grove CA.
Man, Rush is going to be on fire tomorrow!
Hey sweetie. Confused? Hah! I’m positively brain-dead ;)
(but I have no health insurance so wahhhhh)
No, no, he will not sign it tonight. Why, you ask? Because he’s WATCHING A #$%^%*^ BASKETBALL GAME!!!!!
(Check DRUDGE)
Still working on Senate bill. Reconcilation follows.
Thank you for the note. I appreciate it. I have been there in D.C., and know exactly what you mean. All wound up and no place to vent. Har. Your thoughts mean a lot to me. What you may not know is that we have been discussing this issue which turned off topic to a certain extent. Out of courtesy to the other participants on this thread, I’m going to cut my response short, and send you an FReepMail.
All the best, D1...
re: Chavez redux
Indeed, it may not be another election from what I witnessed with the last one.
The Proletariat
Immigration, another shining Kennedy example. How many did he say would come... a million?
What was the budget on Medicare when started? How did that work out?
Even the Postal Service is out of whack.
The red infiltration is deep on both sides and obviously the churches. They bought media and stripped our history out of education and the libraries way back.
They pushed birth control and the gay agenda... they stuck to their 45 goals. Break up the family, homogenize the church so it means nothing, chaos.
Tri-Care cuts are coming, bank on it—despite Democratic claims to the contrary.
I retired from the military in 2001, after more than 20 years on active duty. When I enlisted, I was promised access to military health care for the rest of my life, and the same promise extended to my spouse. Access meant on-base clinics, hospitals and physicians, at virtually no cost to me, the future retiree.
Flash forward three decades. Retirees were pushed off into something called TriCare for Life. True, you paid nothing for your annual premium (on TriCare standard), but retirees were funneled into the civilian health care system, with a minimum 20% co-pay for most doctor’s visits, in-patient hospitalization, diagnostic tests, etc.
Retirees also had the option of enrolling in an upgraded plan (TriCare Prime), but good luck finding a doctor who will take it. Outside regions with a large military population, few physicians participate in the plan because of excessive bureaucracy, constant turnover among contractors, slow payment, etc.
And the future is even more bleak. Retiree health costs represent a rising portion of the DoD budget. Why noy eliminate that expense by pushing military retirees into Obama Care. I’m sure the Pentagon will pay that 8% fee (outlined in the Senate bill) to get rid of retiree health costs, forcing us into those insurance exchanges which (in a few years) will give us only one choice—the guaranteed-to-appear, single-payer, public option.
Quite a departure from those “promises” made to me at Lackland AFB all those years ago.
Rosa DeLauro? Yep, a freak of nature.
