I agree. I guess it comes down to whether each individual knew or is they just repeated the line and were hoping for plausible deniability if it turned out to be inaccurate.

Still doesn't mean their opponents' shouldn't hang the quote around their neck, though.


Agreed.

Also, this country has existed for over 230 years and both parties inexplicably operate as if they're going to be in power forever. I've never understood how this continues to be the case.

This ObamaCare fiasco is a great example of that. It's so shortsighted, passing a major economical, social and fiscal program on a pure party line vote with a supermajority and no bipartisan support.

I don't necessarily like Congrees being in lockstep agreement with each other because when they are, they're usually fricking us over, but if you're going to do something like this, one party passing it through is unacceptable.

The Commission on Presidential Debates is a pretty chickenshit way to do it.

There's just not enough big money to support a third party. It would change the entire landscape and big money and big power don't want to see that.

Agreed.

They also need to do a better job of weeding out the candy crowley's in their moderators.

Her intervention in the 2nd debate last fall was unacceptable.

I spent some time over the last week speaking with some actuaries that revealed that little nugget. Don't have to take my word on it and I can care less about the poor insurance industry.

You're 100% right...

Huge social compacts like healthcare should always have bipartisan support.

Agreed. When not a single vote was cast for the bill from the other side of the aisle, warning bells should have went off for the left. That's a sign that it needed to be re-evaluated.

Obamacare has vindicated the GOP for being obstructionist. Whether or not they capitalize on this remains to be seen however.

Need this one stickied, plastered on billboards, campaign signs, TV ads, bus stops, any damn place in Louisiana you can place it.

K. I'm still trying to understand what the point of this thread is.
I've had great insurance for years. This law has had no effect on my life.

27 Democratic senators who promised you could keep your health coverage This place is now stickying partisan threads? Seriously? Might as well change the name of this board to RU. It's not enough that people like Wild Thang and CPT Bengal can break posting rules daily while liberals are routinely banned for far less, now this place doesn't even pretend to be bi-partisan. A Sticky? If I wanted to participate in a upfront biased board, I'd join the freepers. What a crock of shite this board has become.


Then GTFO!

The ACA has not completely been enacted. The President has postponed the employer mandate. So, it hasn't changed for me.

Question, I wonder why President Obama postponed the employer mandate ?

Flipping through channels early this morning and Foxnews was running this exact thing.

They had video/audio of every single one of those people you listed in succession.

Would be a 2-3 min commercial, but I think worth the airtime for the RNC.

God, I catch it from both sides all the time?

I must be doing something right.

Everyone on the board knows I'm a left leaning liberal but have very strong "conservative" views on eliminating corporate taxes & other fiscal policies etc which means I'm a guy without a country. A true INDEPENDENT if you will. That means I call it like I see it.

27 US Senators are completely wrong/ lying their arse off and going along with the President. Why, because any disruption to plans would have sunk the ACA and that's why they fed the American people this BS.

Yup...

If the RNC in La doesn't grab the one of Landrieu and run it non-stop, they are morons.

My commercial would be:

Promise Video
"Mary promised you could keep your healthcare plan"
Video of Mary saying she'd vote for it again if she had the chance
"Then Mary doubled down"
Video of her saying she didn't know
"Now with her impending reelection coming up, Mary is changing her tune... Mary thinks the voters of La are too dumb to realize the game she is playing and that she is only concerned about her power"

"Louisiana, its time to tell Mary where she can take her fake sympathy"
