I try to make it as easy as possible for people to post comments on this blog. Unlike practically all blogs, I don’t require people to create an account, and I allow anonymous postings. The price is that I have to constantly monitor the comments for spam, but I think it is worth it to […]
When it is created by Mitt Romney of course. On Monday, Romney spokesperson Eric Fehrnstrom said that Romney did not agree with the Supreme Court ruling that the individual mandate was constitutional because of the government’s right to create taxes. “The governor believes that what we put in place in Massachusetts was a penalty, and […]
© Tom Tomorrow The debate around ObamaCare it getting stranger and stranger. Yesterday, a Republican running for Congress in New York declared that he is against health care reform because Americans “don’t die from prostate cancer, breast cancer” anymore. Over 28,000 men will die from prostate cancer this year alone, and 40,000 women will die […]
© Matt Bors Not only does the media treat everything as if it were political, it treats politics as a simple horse race. Unfortunately, reality is a bit more complicated. Health care isn’t just a fight between the Republicans and Democrats, it affects people’s lives. You would think that the media would realize that the […]
“It’s a great day for President Obama. His healthcare law was upheld by the Supreme Court. The president apparently had three speeches ready to go this morning. One if the law was overturned, one if the law was upheld, and one if Joe Biden chewed up the other two.” – Craig Ferguson “In a landmark […]
© Robert Ariail One surprise around the Supreme Court decision upholding ObamaCare is that it was Chief Justice John Roberts who cast the deciding vote, siding with the Liberals on the court instead of the Conservatives. Ironically, the reason he did this is a severe indictment of the conservatives, not just on the Supreme Court, […]
Mitt Romney. If you don’t like his policies, give it a minute. Mitt Romney is in a difficult position after the Supreme Court decision upholding ObamaCare. Romney can’t complain about the individual mandate being a tax, since he was a huge proponent of the individual mandate both in Massachusetts and for national health care reform. […]
“Mitt Romney has a new fundraising gimmick. If you donate $3 or more to his campaign, your name will be entered into a drawing to win a dinner with Mitt Romney and Donald Trump. If you donate more than $10, you get to sit at a different table.” – Jay Leno “Mitt Romney wants to […]
[Tired about all the lies and mischaracterizations being made about ObamaCare? Want to know what the bill actually says and does? Well, someone on Reddit posted a very concise and easy to understand description of the bill. I’m reprinting (most of) it here (he said I could). The same guy is also creating a post […]
“A government with the power to force us to buy health insurance can also force restaurants to serve black people.” – Bruce Bartlett on his Facebook page.
© Mike Luckovich After the Supreme Court upheld the individual mandate, Romney repeated his plan to repeal ObamaCare and replace it with something else. Ironically, everything he proposed for his replacement plan were things that are already in ObamaCare. There’s just one teeny thing he left out — the individual mandate! Never mind that Romney […]
“Yesterday in New Hampshire, President Obama said Americans need someone who will wake up every single day and fight for their jobs. Then he said, ‘But until we find that guy, I’m still your best choice.’” – Jimmy Fallon “Analysts, according to The Wall Street Journal, say the weak economy is causing less energy use, […]
© Ruben Bolling The funny thing is that everyone pretty much knows what the Republicans are trying to do, but for some reason they keep voting for them. Is money really that powerful that it can convince people to vote not only against their own interests, but against the interests of their own country?
“Political candidates have to be very inventive when it comes to fund-raising because there are federal laws. So Mitt Romney had a thing where if you would give him $50,000 you could spend the weekend with him. And for an extra $5,000 he will let you touch his hair.” – David Letterman “A group of […]
