I am getting tired of the "all fronts" attack the Heritage Foundation and GOP are engaged in
They are literally following up on their statement after getting ASS HANDED to them in 2012 that they were going to attack on all fronts. 1,000 fronts to create so much havoc that, in their view, the Obama White House will be unable to govern.
I believe the timing of release of Snowden leaks by Glenn Greenwald is absolutely in concert with the GOP strategy. He is not to be trusted. Rather than being a freedom lover, Glenn Greenwald is an Obama and Democrat hater. He wants to defeat Obama at every turn, and it is palpable in virtually everything he says. He truly is an enemy of America.
Now we have all of the misinformation on shitty insurance policies being cancelled and the line being pushed that Obama wasn't truthful with the American people back when he was promoting Obamacare. Uh....that's already been debunked losers!!
Some idiots are still out there pimping Benghazi as an item to go after. Really? GO **** YOURSELVES, Republicans! You are responsible as a party for the death of MILLIONS of Iraqis and thousands upons thousands of American youth who died in Iraq war that you masturbated over as military contractors in your districts got rich.
Does any of this need to be discussed? Certainly. I am happy to see that the NSA thing is finally being brought to the point of absolute unacceptable levels of spying that it HAS to be looked at and changed. Obama and his administration will receive a lot of pressure from American people and key Democrats to do something to reign this in. That is acceptable. But it is also one of many spears the GOP is hurling at Obama and Democrats as though Obama personally started this whole mess. No. He didn't. Notice how evil Cheney is rising back up to talk about how important this spying is. It wouldn't surprise me to hear he has his own personal leakers who hand carry the latest signal intel form NSA to his lair.
What I am saying in all of this is there is a reason we need to focus on solutions and not just whining around about details like how much a male vs. a female is going to pay in premiums for health insurance. That is very self-centered and not very much in the spirit of democratic values of "all of us in it together".
We really need to think how we fight back on DU and in our real world experiences with others to turn this back where it belongs--failed leadership by Republicans and their constant hatred and blocking of Obama from installing ANY of his agenda or even seeking reasonable compromise on the regular order of business in running a federal government.

How do you manage that when there are no conservatives or Republicans allowed within a thousand yards of DU?

Yeah, basically it's "We told you that you could keep your plan, but your insurance company changed the plan because the law said they had to change, but it's not our fault that you couldn't keep it because you should have realized that your insurance company was forced to drop plans that didn't fit the mould, or they should have told you they'd have to change their plans to meet the law, but it's not our fault because in order for you to go along we had to make the claim you could keep your insurance if you wanted to."
For some reason, libs actually believe people are going to hear that and go "OK, makes sense. Dear Leader didn't really lie." There's a certain faction that is stupid enough to believe it (witness the Pretzel_Warrior primitive), but most people aren't as stupid as he is.

It is even more astounding then that (just listened to Carvelle on O`Reilly),the meme they are floating and some of the print media was testing today is to redefine policies as not really insurance so therefor what the liar in chief said did not apply to them.
-
What is she talking about?
She is trying to hide the fact that right after Obamacare passed HHS redefined what it was to grandfather in a policy. This basically forced the insurance companies to cancel policies by making the rules on changing a policy so strict that if they moved a period at that end of a sentence then it would considered a new policy that wasn't in effect on the day when Obamacare passed.
Its called trying to have your cake and it it too.
-
hahaha this guy is great :D
he really is losing it, and its going to get worse.
The more Obamacare fails the more desperate these people will get. They know that if Obamacare fails this early, and this badly, there wont be single payer or any more big government progressivism for quite some time. And that is why they are going off the rails right now.

I think he's shooting to get nominated into the running for DOTY.
Obviously, he's going to have to kick it up a few notches if he expects to finish anywhere near the top ten.
Judging from his avatar photo, he looks like he might be a dead ringer for first prize in a Larry look-alike contest, if he would just tease his hair out a little more.

That is my understanding of it. A grandfathered in insurance plan can NEVER change anything, because if it does it loses its grandfathered status, and is then subject to meeting current Obamacare requirements. Obamacare has changed the underlying tax structure and according to the ACA law, that alone is enough of a change to kill off pretty much all of the grandfathered plans. -Of course, this makes it the insurance company's fault for daring to comply with Obamacare in the first place.

I disagree with that assessment. What will happen, and this is by design, health insurance will be so expensive, cover so little, and be so messed up that people by the score will demand they fix it with single payer.
Don't believe me? Use SS as an example, the government has screwed that up badly, there are no calls for repeal, there are calls to strengthen it and fix it. The only people calling for repeal is a few conservative voices.

We got to "Unable to govern" long ago, unfortunately they still have possession of most of the dangerous controls.

I tend to agree with MD. Why? This ****up happened right at the onset of the cACA. The weakness of SS wasn't manifest until some time later. Hence, the moderates will be gunshy about any more governmental involvement.

As BlueStateSaint said, I think this is different from SS.
In the case of SS it only started to show cracks years after its implementation. Obamacare is different. I wont argue that it was designed to fail, it was, but I dont think it was designed to fail this quickly. The plan was for 5-10 years from now the system to start to fall apart. Right about the time that the taxes and subsidies go 1:1. Keep in mind that the first 6 years of Obamacare are paid for in 10 years of taxes. Then they could come in and "save" us by going to single payer because by that point the insurance industry would be decimated.
Instead we still have an insurance industry that can survive. If Obamcare fails after the insurance industry is decimated then we get single payer, if it fails before that we go back to insurance. Thats why Democrats are desperate to save the law, they just want to get it to a steady limp for about 5 years before pushing for single payer.
And thats partly why I think so many liberals and progressives are freaking out right now. They realize that Obamacare is failing far to early and that this failure is going to push back big government progressivsm by a generation or more. Trust in big government, and government in general, is crashing right now. The double whammy of the Shutdown and then Obamacares failure is making a lot of people question why the government is so big, and that thought terrifies leftists.
SS also was very popular in the polls from the moment it came up, and it got more popular after it went into law.
Obamacare has done the exact opposite. It started out highly unpopular, and it continues to stay unpopular even after it goes into effect.
SS was Bi-Partisan, Obamacare wasnt.
I know its easy to compare, but I really dont think they are similar. There are just to many differences in how they were passed and implemented.
All we can really do is wait though. We all know that Obamacare is failing, the question really is how massive is the failure and what do Americans take away from that? As long as the messaging is "big government=bad" then we will win this fight. If that messaging turns more into "Government will save you!" then its all over.
-
The real Obamacare horrors haven't even started.
There will be people dying because off kinds of unintended consequences and screw ups. As long as it stays the law, we will never hear the end of it.

So, aside from a few miles of geography down there in Central Shitistan, how do you tell a mexican from a Nicaraguan?
They both speak mexican. They're both great with mulch. How do you tell one from the other?
And why would anyone care?

OK! Well My Brother in law is from Nicaragua. They Speak Voseo Spanish not "mexican" for your information. If you want to know the difference between one and the other all you have to do is look how they live. The mexicans in my area have shit cars and they have multiple families in their houses....The Nicaraguans I know have single family residence, have nice cars and hold good jobs not "great with mulch" jobs. As far as the "Why would anyone care?" The people I know that are Nicaraguan would not have asked such a blatantly racist and ignorant question. OK now GOBUCKS did I answer all your concerns?

Agreed. and as we know from the price of gas, Obama plays the long game.
I’d like higher gas prices, just not so quickly
I am left to believe that may have been the same plan with the exchanges, with the same result - to moderate behavior by making continuing with that behavior more and more uncomfortable. However, it seems that team Obama is not just incapable of success, they are incapable of failure.

But what about World War III ? Just wait till your father gets home.

Makes you wonder why mexicans, Guatemalans, Nicaraguans, Hondurans, etc., etc., all come swarming up here. Six of one, half dozen of another. Never had any concern.

Well Yes I will admit their country of origin was bad, corruption and the like. But only an Idiot racist lumps groups of people together like that. That's like saying all republicans are alike. Well I happen to believe that much different than that. You on the other hand seem to think that people that are immigrants here from other country are some how subhuman, I would say I pity you but I don't you are no different than the DUmmys you troll. This country was founded on and by immigrants, and as long as they come here legally I have no issue with them.
-
Sorry, man, I still can't tell 'em apart.
But I'm sort of offended by your racist stereotypical description of mexicans:
If you want to know the difference between one and the other all you have to do is look how they live. The mexicans in my area have shit cars and they have multiple families in their houses.
Around here, it's usually a mexican bossing a crew from farther south.
Try to show a little more sensitivity.
Oh, and mulch a little heavier around the roses, it helps them through the winter.

Also when they're laying sod it's green side up.

:rotf: your offended now that's funny, more like fishing. By the by most of my life I have lived in older Mexican neighborhoods. I own a house in one which I lived in for seven years previous. I drive shit cars ( at least that is what my brother in law calls them ) speak a little Spanish ( poorly again from my brother in law and his family :-) ) and have a few Mexican friends. None of which has any problems with me, we joke around a lot. They too have issues with the burned out cars and the ones on jacks. I have no Idea where you are from in your past but around here that is a fact not a "stereotypical description" Oh and around here most everyone is working on the crews ( I can only assume you are talking about road or as you have referenced a few times "mulching" crews ) so I'm not sure what you are talking about.

I can't tell the difference between a Mexican and someone from central America any more than I can a Caucasian from the U.S. or Canada.

You can usually tell by dialect...unless they are bordering each other then its hard to tell so I'm told. The Spanish sounds different. My brother in law can just look at someone and usually know where they are from. I'm no expert in Spanish ...lol god knows I have been told :-) I took formal Spanish in school ( Castilian SP.? European Spanish ) mostly writing, didn't take enough to be fluent by any stretch. The rest I know is from the friends I have or co-workers over the years. To much slang word though....haha

I don't know about dialect differences between Mexicans and Central Americans, but I know that TV Mexicans speak a different dialect than real life Mexicans. I know a lot of Mexicans and I have never heard one call another one ese. The Mexicans on TV all call each other ese exclusively.
-
Yep ese and vato are slang I have been told. Have no Idea where it came from.
