    !!!ALINKSKY!!!!

    Once again:

    Obummer sadministration claimed it was a mandate not a tax when they pled their case. It was Roberts who made it a tax.

    and when you read the transcript Verrilli offers it as a tax in front of the court because he’s forced to.

    Forced? Really??? Is this the best bullshit the troll can come up with??? Was Verrilli “forced” to brief the SCOTUS with this:

    II. THE MINIMUM COVERAGE PROVISION IS INDEPEND-ENTLY AUTHORIZED BY CONGRESS’S TAXING
    POWER
    A. The Minimum Coverage Provision Operates As A Tax
    LawCongress’s power “[t]o lay and collect Taxes, Duties,
    Imposts and Excises,” Art. I, § 8, Cl. 1, provides an inde-
    pendent basis to uphold the constitutionality of the mini-
    mum coverage provision. The taxing power is “compre-
    hensive.” Steward Mach. Co. v. Davis, 301 U.S. 548,
    581-582 (1937). In “passing on the constitutionality of a
    tax law,” a court is “concerned only with its practical
    operation, not its definition or the precise form of de-
    scriptive words which may be applied to it.” Nelson v.
    Sears, Roebuck & Co., 312 U.S. 359, 363 (1941) (citation
    omitted). The practical operation of the minimum cover-
    age provision is as a tax law. It is fully integrated into
    the tax system, will raise substantial revenue, and trig-
    gers only tax consequences for non-compliance.

    @6. Stare of CT is 1/4 billion in the hole. A lot of people critiIng Dem Governor. So I guess he’s not as bad. And Kansas being as lily white as it, with probably a less need to spend on welfare, you got to wonder why Kansas is 1 billion in the whole. It’s obvious. And they STUPID PEOPLE that Puffy talks about re-elected the assholes in charge. Can’t wait to see how they balance their budget, maybe they should just close all the streets to vehicles so they don’t have to upkeep them. TAXES TOO DAMN HIGH!

  10. 10

    What’s the difference if you called it a fee, a tax, a fine, a penalty, or a fucking up the ass? With regard to the mandate of Obamacare. All in all is that is serves a purpose. Is having to pay $.05 for a plastic bag really a tax. What is the difference in what you call it. Are children getting hung up on whether it is a tax but not called a tax deliberately to bad mouth it and detract from the issue, regardless if was intentionally called something other than a tax? 5 year old kids play like that.

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/.....ally-work/

    Look at Kansass. Yes Kansass. Do you think it maters that they call it tax breaks as if it something positive, when it leaves you 1 billion in the red. Republicans really should have called the tax breaks what they really were, bankruptcy on a credit card.

    Meanwhile, things continue to look ever brighter for Mary Landrieu:

    Will Chapman, a broker and owner of the Health Insurance Store of Louisiana in Baton Rouge, said none of the 10 agents could log into accounts around noon on Saturday.

    “We’d go in with an email account, can set up an account, verify it and create a password but when go back to actually log in with that information, it says your password is invalid,” says Chapman. “I don’t think anybody can get in.”

    After a lengthy wait on hold for the call center, Chapman says they were told the problem was system wide.

    klownservatives LOVE the KXL pipeline.. They love it!

    According to a George Mason University study, via Bloomberg, the pipeline’s construction could create between 2,500 and 20,000 jobs. More likely (PDF), it’ll be between 2,500 and 4,650, assuming that a huge chunk (as much as 50 percent) of steel production will be outsourced to China, Canada, and India. Moreover, when construction ends, the number of permanent jobs could fall to 20. Yes, 20.

    A rosier estimate, from the State Department’s report and Newsweek, puts the number of permanent jobs at 35.

    http://www.thedailybeast.com/a.....ne-xl.html

    No wonder klownservatives like Dr. Bob Galt and Puddyliar love it..

    1) It’s a lock to be an environmental disaster with eventual spills, aquifer poisoning and enabling lots more global warming

    2) Like these fracking wells, it creates some temp jobs to have some photo ops at and totally fizzles out at the end..

    Just like Limpbaugh on his viagra during one of his sex tours.

    Since someone brought up 43 and retirement:

    “I don’t think it’s good for the country to have a former president undermine a current president,” Bush said diplomatically. “I think it’s bad for the presidency, for that matter.”

    http://www.mediaite.com/tv/bus.....ize-obama/

    I’m sure 44 will be as gracious to 45.

  21. 21

    @14 speaking of Mary Landrieu – I was surfing the net and came across an interesting article on Politco, regarding an oil executives opinion on the Keystone Pipeline on how it is irrelevant and that lifting the oil export embargo would be better or more important at this time.

    http://www.politico.com/story/.....ml?hp=l1_3

    So I then decided to learn a little more about the export embargo of crude oil. I read several articles that were very informative and kind of non partisan about the benefits and downfalls of doing so, environmental issues. But the debate is coming.

    But then I got to one article that cited some organization that claimed that by lifting the export embargo would reduce gas prices by 9 cents a gallon. Sounds great.

    But when you think what does 9 cents a gallon really mean to the consumer. Say you drive 25,000 miles per year, and your vehicle gets 25 miles per gallon you would annually save $90.

    Sounds like a sham to me. Another sham for big oil. The consumer gets a savings of $90 per year.

    How about investing in a vehicle that gets 40 miles to the gallon. You could save $1125 annualy @ $3.00 a gallon calculation.

    Sounds to me like this would be a wiser investment for the consumer, if they would only educate themselves.

    How about getting a way from oil and going to renewable sources? Oil might have been relevant 40 years ago, but it doesn’t have to be today, or as relevant.

    I’m will be saving approximately $600 (conservative estimate) per year for 20 years by investing $6000 in solar.

    The Netherlands are experimenting with “paving” their roads with solar panels. (How about Sidewalks?).

    Sounds like decision making is made based on not what is good for the consumer but what is good for a few oil executives.

    No I’m not saying that we get rid of oil, but maybe lessening our dependence doesn’t just means lessening our dependence on foreign oil.

    Are Americans Stupid. Yes, They are watching TV and playing video games right now.

  24. 24

    Given no consideration to the environment, the only reason we should be exporting oil, is if we export 100% of it and import 0%. Or anything close to those percentages respectively.

    You think Saudi Arabia is thinking about producing oil for their own consumption. No they have the good ole USA, or at least use to, hopefully they have less of us today.

  26. 26

    Sarah Palin.

    Umm, okay….

    Oxycontin? Cocaine and alcohol? Perhaps just some early onset dementia? How the hell was this woman ever seriously considered for public office? She’s completely incoherent. She’s on something and it ain’t just booze. Thats narcotics.

  27. 27

    By the way, anyone professing to be upset by not being able to keep your old doctor, because of the ACA, is just a whining fuck. All you want to do is whine about a broken promise. You claiming that the doctor that you’ve been going to is irreplaceable is just nonsense. You are implying that all the other doctors suck and are incompetent. All you have to do is pick another good doctor. This happens a lot, like when you move to a new state, you find a new doctor, another good doctor. Your medical records are transferable, so long as the doctor that you proclaim to be the best doctor in the world kept good records.

    I have a relative, she thought she liked her doctor. She has some medical issues. Well she wasn’t happy with her doctor, so she traveled out of state, just to find a doctor she liked or felt was more able to help her.

    I moved recently, and low and behold, I think I found a new good doctor, she actually seems like a better doctor then the one I had.

    Stop your whining, if you got good medical coverage, your doctor isn’t necessarily the only doctor that is qualified to help you. When you go to the emergency room, do you wait for your doctor to show up before accepting any medical care, or do you trust the doctor and nurses that are on duty at the ER.

    Stop your fucking whining. One of the trolls on here has the audacity to use the word whining in his/her moniker. When the idiot has been whining for the last fucking 6 years and will continue to whine for the next 6 years. I guess trying to gloat is his objective, like a 3 year old child.

    Meanwhile DUMMOCRETINS are scrubbing away… http://www.nationalreview.com/.....ian-tuttle

    Consider what is happening to Jonathan Gruber: In frantic damage control, many liberals have reflexively indulged their despotic inclinations and try to “disappear” him. The University of Pennsylvania pulled the original video of Gruber’s remarks from its website. No doubt if it were possible, Democratic staffers, Politburo-style, would be scrubbing him from photographs.

    They can’t, of course. Within hours of Nancy Pelosi’s purported memory lapse, bloggers had unearthed her previous comments. Similarly with Kliff. An actual “memory hole” is notoriously difficult to come by.

    PuddyCommentary… Supposedly DUMMOCRETINS don’t think anyone knows about Google since it sits in DUMMOCRETIN SillyKlown Valley! Nancy is getting old! Memory is leaving her.

    And… http://yidwithlid.blogspot.com.....etter.html

    Turns out his person was way smarter than Professor Gruber… Each of these are true and has happened:

    – Coercive mandates
    – Ballooning costs
    – Increased taxes
    – Bureaucratic outrages
    – Shabby facilities
    – Disgruntled providers
    – Long waiting lines
    – Lower quality care
    – Special-interest nest-feathering,
    – Destructive wage and price controls

    Ridicule is a standard DUMMOCRETIN attack tactic Hmmm..? Saul Alinsky’s rule #5 in his Rules for Radicals…

    Alinsky’s rule #5 – “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.

    Rules for Radicals was dedicated to Satan. Don’t believe Puddy? Well here it is… http://fellowshipoftheminds.co.....uciferian/

    “ALINSKY: Sometimes it seems to me that the question people should ask is not “Is there life after death?” but “Is there life after birth?” I don’t know whether there’s anything after this or not. I haven’t seen the evidence one way or the other and I don’t think anybody else has either. But I do know that man’s obsession with the question comes out of his stubborn refusal to face up to his own mortality. Let’s say that if there is an afterlife, and I have anything to say about it, I will unreservedly choose to go to hell.

    PLAYBOY: Why?

    ALINSKY: Hell would be heaven for me. All my life I’ve been with the have-nots. Over here, if you’re a have-not, you’re short of dough. If you’re a have-not in hell, you’re short of virtue. Once I get into hell, I’ll start organizing the have-nots over there.

    PLAYBOY: Why them?

    ALINSKY: They’re my kind of people.“

    A few months later Alinsky got his wish!

    The US has to cut pollution now and the Chinese can pollute as much as they want until 2030 and then they can consider cutting back. Real news not from the Old Jerks… http://dallasmorningviewsblog......ions.html/

    What did President Barack Obama get in return from Beijing? China agreed to keep pumping out more and more and more and more carbon until 2030. That’s the year China has set as its peak emissions level, after which it will start cutting back. So the blue line above will level off soon and start to drop. The upward trajectory of the purple line will — just like the Energizer Bunny whose electronics, fur and batteries are almost certainly made in China — keep going and going and going.

    So Tod is a conservative?

    rujaxoffallthetimebuttnuthinappears @ 38,

    What book did Mrs White write that information rujaxoffallthetimebuttnuthinappears?

    Got link?

  47. 47

    @42 – it was a great accomplishment.

    China wasn’t going to cap emissions until 2050, then they considered 2045, then the considered 2040, then they considered reluctantly 2035, and thanks to no fucking
    republican, they will now do so in 2030.

    Maybe your wish would have been if Dennis Rodman went to China to see if they could have considered 2025.

  48. 48

    So rujaxoffallthetimebuttnuthinappears cheers ObummerCare destroying the rural hospitals where poor peeps get their medical care! http://www.usatoday.com/longfo...../18532471/ Seattle City DUMMOCRETIN don’t care!

    The Affordable Care Act was designed to improve access to health care for all Americans and will give them another chance at getting health insurance during open enrollment starting this Saturday. But critics say the ACA is also accelerating the demise of rural outposts that cater to many of society’s most vulnerable. These hospitals treat some of the sickest and poorest patients — those least aware of how to stay healthy. Hospital officials contend that the law’s penalties for having to re-admit patients soon after they’re released are impossible to avoid and create a crushing burden.

    PuddyCommentary: Sooooooooooo… If health-care reform hadn’t been delivered by arrogant DUMMOCRETIN university elitists whom idiots like rujaxoffallthetimebuttnuthinappears jock strap, who never read the bill, suffering through their own case of arrested adolescence (see #39), we could have avoided all these rural hospital closing problems.

    Yet that’s A-OK to rujaxoffallthetimebuttnuthinappears!

  50. 50

    @47 that’s because those Red States didn’t sign on to the Medicaid expansion, and therefore no longer could stay in business. Without payment to hospital by those so called poor and sick people you talk about – the hospital can’t stay in business. Unless Puffy wants to be so religiously charitable.

  52. 52

    Once again all can see @ 49, the empty tea bag with the chafed puffed butt didn’t read the story. Otherwise the empty tea bag with the chafed puffed butt would have read this…

    The closings threaten to decimate a network of rural hospitals the federal government first established beginning in the late 1940s to ensure that no one would be without health care. It was a theme that resonated during the push for the new health law. But rural hospital officials and others say that federal regulators — along with state governments — are now starving the hospitals they created with policies and reimbursement rates that make it nearly impossible for them to stay afloat.

    Who set the reimbursement rates? Obummer’s creeps and many of Obummer’s fans because they get their money from the feds! Man you are sooooooooo stoooooooooooopid!

  53. 53

    It is more than a pledge. That is where you are wrong. And I guess every agreement made with any country over any issue can be broken. Like torture agreements.

  54. 54

    @51 it is called cost control – containing the cost of medical care, you would you prefer that those hospitals pork the taxpayer, or provide the healthcare. What is their purpose. Are they a hospital or a profit center? Nobody was suggesting that they not make any money.

    My private healthcare has reduced rates too. My care providers can charge all they want, but there are limitations set and it even shows up on the EOB. What they want to charge and what they get to charge.

  55. 55

    empty tea bag with the chafed puffed butt @52,

    The NY Times wrote that you moron! PLEDGE!

    Stoooooooooooooooopid now and into the future!

  56. 56

    Yeah cost control on the poor people in rural areas!

    Yeah that’s the ticket empty tea bag with the chafed puffed butt! Screw the poor people!

  57. 57

    And mark my words, China will probably do so before 2030. They can no longer breathe over there. They will realize that they can’t wait till 2030, so yes maybe Obama didn’t get the best deal.

  59. 59

    @55 no special rules for rural areas, cost control for all hospitals, they all have the same rules.

  60. 60

    Well its been nice talking monkey talk, but I have to go. Anything that you would like to comment to before I go?

  62. 62

    empty tea bag with the chafed puffed butt claimed it was more than a pledge. Proves how much this moron doesn’t read!

  63. 63

    Don’t pout Puffy, it is mannerisms of an Ape. Plus, if you can’t try to trust your enemies, you will never get anything from them. Kind of like agreeing not to torture enemy combatants.

    http://hereandnow.wbur.org/201.....ssions-cap

    The U.S. and China surprised the world yesterday by announcing an agreement on greenhouse gases, including a Chinese pledge to cap carbon emissions — a first for the country.

    China and the U.S. emit 45 percent of the world’s “greenhouse gases,” which scientists say are driving global climate change.

    Under the new agreement, the U.S. will sharply reduce emissions by 2025, cutting the total gases by at least 26 percent below 2005 levels. China will stop increasing emissions by 2030 at the latest, and will draw only 80 percent of its energy from fossil fuels.

    Environmentalists have been hoping for stronger action from China, which is the world’s leading emitter of greenhouse gases, but experts are calling this a groundbreaking agreement that will energize upcoming climate change talks in Paris, and put pressure on other countries to take stronger measures on the issue.

    China will turn its pledge into a new domestic law.

    The future of the agreement in the U.S. is less clear. While democratic leaders are praising it, Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky is criticizing the agreement, calling it unrealistic and saying it will cost jobs and result in higher utility rates.

    Hope your cage is comfy.

  64. 64

    Cage? You are one warped person!

    China will turn its pledge into a new domestic law. How do these DUMMOCRETINS know this?

    @75. Yeah, maybe they are asleep at the wheel. One day they will wake up. As I recall many Republican politicians lost their fondness for the Governor. Remember Obama got elected in 2008 and 2012 – you tend to want to forget about that… So what if Kansas re-elected what is bad for them. Nuff said, idiot.

  85. 85

    @73 Thanks Bob for your insight. You peaked my interest to learn more about California and Illinois.

    And I didn’t get to far, but the first article I come across indicates that California has a different kind of problem – their problem is that they have a surplus, or at least they did as of the attached article in May of 2013.

    http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05.....&_r=0

    I will also look into the demographics of each state to see what makes each of the states different from one another. You would think that in KansASS it would be pretty simple to balance a budget. Different from what California needs to stay afloat. Does Kansas have the same needy population that California has? Maybe I’m looking at it from the wrong perspective and maybe I should be questioning the amount of wealth that California has over Kansas, that keeps Kansas in a disadvantage.

    Thanks for the Challenge.

  86. 86

    @ 71, 84

    To be honest I’m probably about 70% in agreement that Brownback was too aggressive and did too much, too soon. The reduction in personal tax rates wasn’t so bad but the non-taxation of pass-through income doesn’t pass the smell test. In 2013 more than 2/3 of my income was pass-through, due to incorporation. Kansas relies on personal income taxes. If my personal state income tax rate were decreased AND my pass-through income was exempted, I’d have a huge windfall and the state would lose a lot of tax.

    Sorry. I think Kansas got screwed by bad Republican policy. There were some one-time factors claimed to have influenced the inadequate revenues as well, but at least one of those sounds like BS to me as well.

    I thought Brownback was going to have his ass handed to him earlier this month. A little surprised he didn’t.

    KS will have a couple of tough years.

    Are you saying that KansASS the home of the Koch bros isn’t going to explode with economic growth once the Koch Bros’ LLCs get all those juicy tax cuts???

    Damn you’ve already forgotten about those jobs Walker created in WI.. Damn what a record he set there! You means KansASS has to wait for…

    A tough couple of years to go by? Republicans and klownservatives are running the show there Bob.. All they gotta do to balance the books is screw the poors! If you count the kids in the filthy overcrowded classrooms the poors.. Shit they can’t vote! Even if they could they’d be turned away at the poll for “insufficient id”..

    Wow bleeding heart Bob. You kompassionate klownservatism is strangely unconvincing!

    @88 – Good article. Not sure if this became a reality but if so, yes it is going to be a tough couple of years for Kansas. Or at least another 3 at a minimum.

    A subsequent bill set in motion future cuts, with the top rate declining to 3.9 percent by 2018 and falling incrementally from there.

    It was originally 6.45%. Geez taxes just too damn high.

    People of Kansas should brace themselves, bend over and kiss their asses goodbye. Unless the Governor changes course.

    I feel bad now….all I can do is picture a big ape with little yellow shovel in hand filling his sandcastle bucket with sand, with a little pout on his face, making grunting sounds.

    Puffy, no hard feelings, just having a little fun with you.

    Before I go to bed tonight I will say the Our Father, and ask forgiveness for my trespassing.

    On that note, I’m out of here.

  93. 93

    Yes that 205 number. The number of useless entries from your silly ASS monomaniacal moronic moonbat!

    Sux to be you is Puddy’s line. Proves you are a silly re-run!

  95. 95

    Unlike the monomaniacal moronic moonbat who takes days or weeks to react to something (had nuthin to say about the California illegal alien double cop killer until Puddy goaded the turd)… Puddy will condemn Bill Cosby if he did it. The evidence seems to grow daily!

    Sez much about Obummer… http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11.....&_r=1

    Paragraph 21

    Some of the national leaders met with President Obama on Nov. 5 for a gathering that included a conversation about Ferguson.

    According to the Rev. Al Sharpton, who has appeared frequently in St. Louis with the Brown family and delivered a speech at Mr. Brown’s funeral, Mr. Obama “was concerned about Ferguson staying on course in terms of pursuing what it was that he knew we were advocating. He said he hopes that we’re doing all we can to keep peace.”

    This is what Obummer does as a community organizer not as President of the United States.

    Unbelievable.

    Here is something DUMMOCRETINS didn’t discuss from Oregon on election night… Oregon voters by a 66-34 margin (32 points) canceled a new state law to provide illegal aliens a driver’s license. Wow Oregon voters have a working brain cell!

    The monomaniacal moronic moonbat must be pizzed!

  98. 98

    http://news.yahoo.com/ex-us-of.....58024.html More truths are coming out… Amazing…

    The former defense chief said Obama’s administration stands in contrast to both Bush administrations, where once a decision was made, there was “no micromanagement.”

    DUMMOCRETINS are scum. They don’t trust the military. DUMMOCRETINS despise the military, until it’s needed to bail them out of their feckless foreign policy!

  99. 99

    So the whitey house and state department unclassified systems were hacked. Waytogo libtardos!

    Well Harf and Psaki were silent. Praise the Lord on that!

    @98 They held out longer than most private businesses, so the government must have better IT people than the private sector. Say, Puffy, don’t you do IT work for the private sector?

    Breaking News! Seattle Times Endorses Tax Increase!

    Today’s Seattle Times editorial breaks breathtaking new ground — after describing the fiscal challenges confronting the 2015 legislature, it says, and I quote,

    “Given the challenges, members of leadership must keep a narrowly focused agenda and a rejection of any pledges never to raise a tax, any time, any how.”

    This is a dramatic departure from ST’s previous editorial stance. True, the editorial doesn’t hint at whose taxes should be raised, and immediately begins to walk back from this pronouncement: The following paragraph suggests suspending I-1351, and the paragraph after that urges legislators to “remember that every tax is a drag on a still-recovering economy.”

    (Really? I’m under the impression that government money spends the same in the economy as private money does.)

    Oh, and let’s not overlook this “On The Web” item right under the editorial: “The budget slashing of human services during the Great Recession is coming back to bite Washington.”

    http://blogs.seattletimes.com/.....r/jmartin/

    Yes, eliminating public services comes with costs. At some point, we have to decide what’s essential, then pay taxes for it. And also elect legislators who understand that (a) some public services are vital and (b) none of them are free. That’s something voters failed at miserably in this month’s election, because some of you didn’t bother to vote. You know who you are.

    British Columbia municipal elections are supposed to be non-partisan, but civic organizations can run slates of candidates, especially in the larger cities like Vancouver and Surrey. Surrey will overtake Vancouver in less than a decade, and Surrey First ran a slate of candidates to advance their agenda of how to accommodate that growth. Part of it, is on the transportation front, other than Translink buses, they highlight that the city has only 6km of rapid transit. Surrey First swept the school board, city council, and mayor’s office.

    In Vancouver, the 4 well known parties are, in order of number of seats, Vision Vancouver, Non Partisan Association, Green Party of Vancouver, plus the party that used to be represented on the council, but came in third in the mayor’s race, Council of Progressive Electors.

    Puddy will condemn Bill Cosby if he did it. The evidence seems to grow daily!

    Why not do it now???

    You had no hesitation here.. Oh a person of hispanic extraction was involved.. You consider them CHEAP!!

    But why consider condemning Cosby at all? You have deemed Cosby with the sacred title of KLOWNSERVATIVE..

    EVEN BETTER!

    BLACK KLOWNSERVATIVE..

    They are supposed to be PERFECT.. AS YOU REGARD YOUR OWN MISERABLE ASS!!!!

    canceled a new state law to provide illegal aliens a driver’s license. Wow Oregon voters have a working brain cell!

    Nope you dope!!!!

    Greedhead klownservatives give undocumented workers jobs! Lots of those jobs involve driving.. To get a driver’s licence, a worker has to pass tests like vision and understanding the rules of the road.

    Forbidding licensing to undocumented workers won’t stop greedy klownservatives from hiring undocumented workers and requiring them to drive in order to line greedhead pockets with cheap labor.

    YOU SUPPORT KILLING YOUR FELLOW AMERICANS ON THE ROADS WITH UNLICENSED DRIVERS! FOOL!

    Yet another stupid ballot initiative floated to take advantage of voter bigotry.

  107. 107

    DAYUM the low IQ monomaniacal moronic moonbat is DUMB! Puddy cares less about your 28K+ comments. It’s your EPIC FAYLE attempts with the crazed databaze!

    Sux to be you!

  108. 108

    YOU SUPPORT KILLING YOUR FELLOW AMERICANS ON THE ROADS WITH UNLICENSED DRIVERS! FOOL!

    More lies from the low IQ monomaniacal moronic moonbat!

    They are illegal aliens you idiot… They are not undocumented workers. They are illegal aliens, working illegally! US law calls them illegal aliens. DUMMOCRETINS such as the low IQ monomaniacal moronic moonbat want to name them something the US Law doesn’t call them! This is something you can’t comprehend even to this day. They should not be in this country.

    Look up in your crazed databaze the various laws Puddy placed on this blog. Perform something useful for one in your low IQ monomaniacal moronic moonbattic life!

    “According to Gruber, who has been our guide on a lot of this, it’s somewhere in the vicinity of an $8 Billion cost” – John Effin Kerry on the Cadillac tax on high cost insurance plans union big-wig thugs have!

    “John Kerry said ‘no, no, no,’ we’re not going to tax your health insurance. We’re going to tax those evil insurance companies. We’re going to impose a tax that if they sell insurance that’s too expensive, we’re going to tax them, and conveniently the tax rate will happen to be the marginal tax rate under the income tax code. So basically it’s the same thing, we just tax the insurance companies, they pass on the higher prices, that offsets the tax break we get, it ends up being the same thing.” – Professor Jonathan Gruber.

    A real love fest here!

    IDIOT Wabbit,

    Puddy doesn’t work for Home Depot, Target, etc. Butt, if you were paying attention and not being a LIV, have you seen the latest Chinese Air Force Fighters. http://news.usni.org/2014/11/0.....-f-22-f-35 “They’re still in the glossy brochure phase of development, so they still look ten feet tall and bulletproof,” one senior U.S. fighter pilot familiar with the F-35 program told USNI News. “I think they’ll eventually be on par with our fifth gen jets — as they should be, because industrial espionage is alive and well.”When you are an IDIOT Wabbit speaking from your IDIOT Wabbit ASS facts prove you are an IDIOT Wabbit ASS!

    Meanwhile on Twitter… @jimgeraghty – So Obama insists a guy paid $400,000 by HHS “never worked on our staff.”

  112. 112

    Red states seem to have higher incarceration rates than Blue states. Hmmmm, is it because Red States peruse their criminals with more vigor? Or is because Red States have greater population of poverty, which tends to make up the Prison Population? Is there a benefit to taking care of the poor people? Does it keep them out of Prison, where the tax payer probably spends more tax dollars to house the criminals? Or is because Blue states let all their criminals run free?

    KansASS has l22 less people per 100,000 people in prison, so KansASS should probably spend less in taxes to house prisoners, per 100,000 people. And what about the cost of maintaining prisons in California versus KansASS, I bet the prison guard gets paid better in California than he would in KansASS.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L.....ation_rate

    I wonder about the Orphanage and Foster care rates in each of those states. Do you think Red States have more Foster Care and Orphanages (if they still even exist like the once did).

  117. 117

    WASHINGTON, D.C. — As the Affordable Care Act’s second open enrollment period begins, 37% of Americans say they approve of the law, one percentage point below the previous low in January. Fifty-six percent disapprove, the high in disapproval by one point.

    Enough said

  118. 118

    They are not undocumented workers.

    YES THEY ARE.. I’ll call them whatever I fucking please you DOPE!

    I call them that because I understand them.

    You call them whatever you call them because YOU HATE THEM!!!

    Do you say a word about the klownservative greedheads that profit when they hire the undocumented to do bottom of the barrel jobs???

    Of course NOT.. YOU GIVE THAT SHIT A PASS!!!

    When an undocumented worker kills a motorist because his eyesight wasn’t checked through the licensing process because of boneheaded bigotry inspired by a ballot initiative – BLOOD WILL BE ON KLOWNSERVATIVE HANDS!!!

    Thank you ONCE AGAIN for showing the world what klownservatism is all about!
