Hannity has a ‘twitter army’.

Trump does too as well as a large Facebook following.

And if we get banned, we get banned. Now is not the time to be overly-cautious.

We can also radiate outward from sympathetic social media.

For example —

Breitbart.

Quick load, massive activity.

Breitbart’s formatting probably hurts research — people funnelled into mega-threads as I understand it, so we can coordinate better here [like normal].

But then we can send our shockers out.

We should be out in force protesting the media in front of every affiliate in every city, handing out REAL news and facts! Until we counter this corrupt media as well as boycotting and exposing their advertisers. NOTHING else is going to do any good. We’ve known this for how many election cycles? Yet we keep ignoring it. The media is picking our presidents and the public is blind.

I offered a refresher of the biggest zinger on Obamacare just today — it links Obama-care with the current sleaze scandals:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3480415/posts

Viagra to convicted of rapists and perverts.

Back in 2010 the Senate voted down the Coburn Amendment along party lines.

It was the most amazing thing. All Coburn requested was that tax money not be used to give viagra to rapists and perverts while they were in prison.

Senator Harry Reid called it a ‘slippery slope’ because this viagra-for-perverts scheme was part of the Obamacare bill. Not the best word he could have chosen for such an outrage.

Why did Obama and his fellow democrats want to do that? For the perverts’ health. Cardiovascular exercise.

And who would be on the receiving end? In many cases it is the gentle guy on the receiving end who had been beaten into submission, especially when the meanest goons are the ones who can commandeer the viagra.

The pill lasts for four hours. I would be tempted to support the plan if those self-same democrats were the only ones reaching for the soap.

Curious how people would react I recently used a laptop to show random people on the street reports of the Coburn Amendment. Their jaws dropped. They kept staring at the headlines, checking to see if the web address was accurate, and shaking their heads in disbelief.

This is a definitive example of DNC morality ...

There isn’t any.

When history is rewritten this will be shown as the new, revised and improved LOUISIANA PURCHASE. Sen Mary’s legacy.

The world is filled with those who will not listen nor alter their stratagy when on a quest for their life’s desire.

Excellent breakdown of names belonging to those who will never take the time to fairly judge before they act to accomplish.

‘We should be out in force protesting the media in front of every affiliate in every city, handing out REAL news and facts!’

Sure at some point. But from the comfort of your home you can do more.

The old media won’t report protests, but take a look here:

Breitbart.

Their formatting I suspect is not very great for FR-style research. But their energy is unbelievable:

I got stuck paying $432 a month with a $6000 deductible for the worst bronze plan directly with Kaiser because Obamacare will implode.
In 2017 the same plan raised the deductible to $6200 with premium payments of $468 a month.

I guess soon we can save by just not eating.

“Sure at some point. But from the comfort of your home you can do more.”

We will lose this race because of sitting in the ‘comfort of your home’....

The left wins because they SHOW UP!

We don’t. And we are losing. The media is the first line defense of Hillary and we ignore it. And we will lose.

MEMO TO FREEPERS: thank you all for your spot-on
comments....we can all learn from your astute observations.

Now---I deliberately chose the Obamacare issue to spotlight b/c in politics it's not always the expected issues that lose races....the ones battled over at debates.

ITEM---It was clear they knew they had a problem....when the Clintons hauled out hokey Billybooboo (he was busy salivating over the Clintons vast holdings--smirk).

ITEM---the insider buzz is Billy was scripted by Obama, himself, to disparage Obamacare.

They are all scared silly b/c Obamacare is the issue that kicks back hard and Hillary will take the full brunt.

=======================================

I also look back on the Bush/Gore race. Gore later said he lost b/c Billy got lewinskied....even though Bill's BJ did not become an A-List topic, voters were obviously silently disgusted and showed it at the polls.

This thread is laid out like a graduate school thesis:

Obama famously articulated the thesis “like your plan, keep your plan.”

Ergo, we look for Democrats who proved the thesis....parroting his unforgettable words.

We have healthy younger relatives across the country in the same basket as you are.

Now, they go to walk in clinics and pay cash for a visit.

They go to pharmacies for their shots and vaccines.

Why, they are billed less for the above than their normal doctors would charge.

Concierge MD have all the patients they want for fees running from a couple of hundred $/month to equal the annual deductions.

I have posted before about one of our female in laws who basically abused her husband’s Cadillac insurance plan before Obama care came in.

My wife tried to warn her that her expensive and non essential derm visits and visits for her kids requiring a bandage or less were not going be paid post Obama care, due to her new high deductibles.

Two months later after Obama care the above luxury visits were stopped. She uses my wife as a free advise RN ( which my wife did for 3+ decades). Her entire family now goes to a good walk in clinic when her free advise RN tells them to go to a doctor.

She is a great negotiator when buying products and services. She, now, uses that skill when the family needs shots/vaccines. She calls up their walk in Clinic gets their price and the 3 pharmacies in the same area of the walk in Clinic. The clinic will beat the pharmacy prices if our in law pays with cash or a debit card.

My wife’s clan in the midwest is doing the same. One of my wife’s SIL’s was an ER nurse for decades. She is the free on call RN for her families. She has taught her daughters, nieces and female cousins how to use liquid bandages and butterfly bandages to avoid visits to the ER or family docs for stiches. Her asst nurses, aka mothers, use smartphones to take pictures of cuts and abrasions for her advise. She tells her family about our west coast health care negotiator, and her clan negotiates for injections/vaccines.

One super granny in law in an area south of the above is the go to when the above RN says to get the kids/husbands to an ER. All of the younger women work at jobs that are hard to get away from, so super granny takes her grandkids to the local ER in a medium to large metro area.

Most of the times those ERs are packed with illegals getting free ER care for sore throats or ouchies needing a small bandaid. Super granny puts on a ICE hat and an ICE Jacket when she takes her grandkids to the ER. It is amazing how the patients and their 30 family members with nothing else to do, clear out of the ER waiting room and leave the premises.

Hey, if you want to camp outside a TV station, fine.

But I recommend you have a nice ad budget, a cameraman, etc. Because they will blackball you. You will need to get search engine positioning, advertising, etc. to promote your own video.

Or ... you can network with others.

Thanks.....

Specter switched back to the RAT party from whence he came, which made the passage of Obamacare (60th vote) possible.
He made the statement as a RAT

...The government option is an option, pure and simple, and the private sector will be maintained, and people will be able to keep their current health care plan if they like it. And the employers can be given incentives to stay with the plan that their employers like.

THIS JUST IN: The Uncertain Future of Obamacare

A growing number of people in Obamacare are finding out their health insurance plans will disappear from the program next year, forcing them to find new coverage even as options shrink and prices rise.

At least 1.4 million people in 32 states will lose the Obamacare plan they have now, according to state officials contacted by Bloomberg. That’s largely caused by Aetna Inc., UnitedHealth Group Inc. and some state or regional insurers quitting the law’s markets for individual coverage.

Excerpt---rest at Bloomberg.com
