– I like most of these ideas for Revenue-Positive Policy Changes Made Politically Possible By Low-Income ORCA. I’m not sure about 4, although it would probably quicken up the tunnel.

– There is a long space between good and better than the Ferguson PD

– A gated democracy

– On the one hand, the airlines throwing everything against the wall and generally being assholes is pretty much par for the course. On the other hand, what a bunch of assholes.

– You can’t just arrest people for being dipshits who don’t understand the law they were opposed to.

– They haven’t even taken back the reigns of the Senate, and already the GOP can’t help but look at a government shutdown.

– Congrats to the European Space Agency.

– Kirk Cameron seems neat

    The GOP is looking to shut down the government the same way the GOP is looking to impeach the president.

    (AllPolitics, December 20) — In the wake of the House of Representatives’ approval of two articles of impeachment, Bill Clinton’s approval rating has jumped 10 points to 73 percent, the latest CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll shows.

    That’s not only an all-time high for Clinton, it also beats the highest approval rating President Ronald Reagan ever had.

    At the same time, the number of Americans with an unfavorable view of the Republican Party has jumped 10 points; less than a third of the country now has a favorable view of the GOP.

    http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS.....ment.poll/

    A lesson learned is a lesson learned, even by knuckle-dragging Neanderthals.

    Obama will have to do something else to improve his poll numbers, and issuing a veto to a Congress-passed budget bill (one that might even be bipartisan), in the process causing a shutdown, probably won’t be the way to accomplish that.

    Which is not to say that he would not try.

    Were the Paseo owners cheep labor libtard DUMMOCRETINS mistreating Mexican workers?

    Where is the hue and cry over HA DUMMOCRETINS screaming bloody murder on this?

    What does the low IQ monomaniacal moronic moonbat thnk about this?

    Meanwhile one of Da Perfessa’s favrit British libtards is John Oliver. While national DUMMOCRETINS fretted over the house and the senate… Oliver said DUMMOCRETINS missed the big picture, state legislatures. More governorships and state legislatures in 2015!!!!!

    DAYUM this is funny http://www.nationaljournal.com.....s-20141112

    He called you stupid. He admitted that the White House lied to you. Its officials lied to all of us—Republicans, Democrats, and independents; rich and poor; white and brown; men and women.

    Liberals should be the angriest. Not only were they personally deceived, but the administration’s dishonest approach to health care reform has helped make Obamacare unpopular while undermining the public’s faith in an activist government. A double blow to progressives.

    PuddyCommentary: Ron, not Goldy’s NorthWest Division of Lunatic Moonbats! They lap up the funky chunky liquids of anything progressive no matter how vile it really is.

    Remember, Jonathan Gruber has never worked in the real world one day of his life. Libtards “know” what is good for the plebes. Gruber and gang had to lie because the American people are too stooooooooooopid and to keep the libtard media in bed with Obummer’s sadministration. In reality the libtard DUMMOCRETIN msm are stooooooooooooopid too!

    Sux to be a DUMMOCRETIN pleading this in front of the SCOTUS next spring!

    New rates for Obamacare coverage beginning January 1 should be available when enrollment begins, November 15th.

    Bet Mary Landrieu can’t wait.

  7. 7

    I do not think it means what you think it means.

    “Si se puede!” Landrieu said Wednesday while pushing for the pipeline on the Senate floor, re-purposing another bit of progressive politics (this time from the United Farmworkers) in service of a project that’s not very popular with the left.

    On the other hand, nice to see that one Senate seat has already flipped.

    Teabagger, howdy.

    Solar working just fine. 5000 kWh in 16 months.

    You will love this: Apparently since it was acquired and paid for under my solely-owned LLC, which holds the building, rather than as an asset owned by me as an individual, I cannot take the 30% federal credit now. It sits on the balance sheet, tantalizingly, until I sell the building.

    IOW I shoulda found out what was in it before I voted for it.

  12. 12

    Now that Democrats have agreed to approve Keystone XL, economists are saying the pipeline isn’t viable and analysts aren’t saying it probably won’t be built, thanks to falling oil prices that make the oil it was meant to carry costlier to produce than it would sell for.

    This isn’t the first time Republican oil and gas economics have been caught out to lunch: “The situation is broadly similar to that faced by an earlier proposal to build a natural-gas pipeline from Alaska to the Midwest …. After being approved by then-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin in 2007, the pipeline was never built, because newly discovered supplies of gas in the Lower 48 states pushed gas prices down by about two-thirds.”

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: Maybe it’s time for TransCanada, the owner/operator of Keystone XL, to thank the Democrats for saving them from building an expensive white elephant?

    DERIVATIVES:

    grubered [past tense], grubering [present participle].

    The filter doesn’t like it when you post too many links even they are to within HA.. So this will be in several parts:

    From the 11/11 open thread:

    Puddystupid didn’t walk away you knowledgeable HA HERO YLB (who knows to check archive.org and google a bit harder).

    Yes you did! You ran away like you always do to a new thread when you’re caught with your pants down pulling shit from your incontinent ass..

  16. 16

    Continuing..

    And remember you said this:

    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.

    Anyone need any clearer proof of a klownservative pulling stuff from their ass???

    Imagine that – a Solicitor General “forced” to offer the tax argument for the ACA’s individual mandate after writing a brief to the SCOTUS making the same argument – only from the mind of a klownservative idiot.

    So klownservative village idiot troll?? How’s that brief you asked for working out for you?

    Today, Nancy Pelosi claimed she has no clue whom noted MIT health care economist Jonathan Gruber is…

    Opponents of health insurance reform continue to spread myths about the recently-passed Affordable Health Care for America Act. For example, they are claiming that health reform would increase premiums for most of America’s families. But the facts continue to knock these myths down–including a new report from the independent Congressional Budget Office (CBO).

    MYTH: The House health insurance reform bill would result in higher premiums.

    FACT: An analysis of the House bill by noted MIT health care economist Jonathan Gruber concludes that the bill would result in lower premiums than under current law for the millions of Americans using the newly-established Health Insurance Exchange — including those who are not receiving affordability credits to help them purchase coverage (the Health Insurance Exchange is for those without access to affordable employer-sponsored coverage). As Gruber states:

    Y’all can find noted MIT health care economist Jonathan Gruber original ANALyses here… all over this web page… SWEEEEEEEEET… Once again Nancy Pelosi is proving she a moron. http://www.democraticleader.go.....-premiums/

    BOUUUUYEAH… Even the NY SLimes claimed he was the architect…

    Then came the call in 2008 from President-elect Obama’s transition team, the one that officially turned this stay-at-home economics professor into Mr. Mandate.

    Mr. Gruber has spent decades modeling the intricacies of the health care ecosystem, which involves making predictions about how new laws will play out based on past experience and economic theory. It is his research that convinced the Obama administration that health care reform could not work without requiring everyone to buy insurance.

    Y’all can read about the architect here… http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03.....1& You’ll learn the Obummer’s whitey house sent him to Pelosi and Baucus to help Congressional staff members draft the specifics of the legislation… So that’s where the tortured language came from… http://www.c-span.org/video/?c.....r-analysis: “I don’t know if you have seen Jonathan Gruber from MIT’s analysis” Oopsie… Nancy Pelosi thinks Real Americans are dumb and need to be lied to!

    Now the Slimes is trying to downplay Gruber too today… Butt, putting four or more links puts the comment into never never land if you are a Conservative. Don’t you libtard DUMMOCRETINS realize the Internet carries all the info forever?

    I cannot take the 30% federal credit now.

    Awwww poor Bob. All is not well in Galtian paradise.. I thought Randians did their homework before making a business decision..

    Just picture Ronnie Raygun’s ugly smiley mug on your dorm or frat house wall as you “tear those panels down..”

    Old panels might not add as much value to a building as you might expect when it comes times to sell but there are always greater fools out there. Take heart.

  21. 21

    it probably won’t be built, thanks to falling oil prices that make the oil it was meant to carry costlier to produce than it would sell for.

    This fracking thing is a bubble that will burst and might take down the economy with it.. Last I looked no producer is making any money and the bubble is running out of greater fools to keep the ponzi scheme going. And how much investment was made in plants and equipment for secondary products (power, plastics, fertilizer, etc) – all based on the good times that the new gas and oil would bring?

    It’s all going to go down the tubes.. The new production has forced the oil and gas prices down, the wells are very costly to produce, run dry very fast, the environmental cost is disastrous..

    Maybe this is why the klownservatives in Congress are so desperate to give more feckless tax breaks to oil and gas producers which they call “jobs bills” (on top of the existing ones) – it’s all to keep the party going for just a bit longer. But like the housing bubble it’s doomed to pop eventually.

    Prices for oil and gas can only go back up again. They are finite resources that have been on the cusp of global peak production for a long time. But I’m thinking it’s going to be a while before we see higher prices if the economy is forced into recession first.. The rest of the world is already ahead of us on that one. Been good for the greenback and prices at the pump.

    RE: Gun nuts at the Capital

    Seim denounced I-594 as the most “corrupt, tyrannical, lawless and draconian gun restriction” ever seen. He says on video and in information for the rally that he “will not lick the boots of tyrants” by complying with it.

    Maybe people should retire tyranny from their vocabulary. And which tyrant’s boots would be licked? Since this is an initiative, demonstrating at the Capitol and trying to lick the boots of people who didn’t pass or sign legislation? Perhaps they should lick the boots of the near 60% who voted for the measure, all 1,193,360 so far they are all tyrants?

    Tyranny (n.) /ˈtirənē/ – Putting an idea you don’t like to a vote of the public who by an overwhelming majority disagree with you.

    @10 sounds like a small system….my system already generated 1693 Kw in 4 months. Starting July thru today. With the last month being the worst because of many cloudy days. And I only paid $6000 to lease for 20 years, inlcuding installation costs.

    Sounds like todays solar panels are more efficient then when you installed yours.

  33. 33

    More on Paseo.

    Now that they are out of a job there doesn’t seem to be motive for ex employees to ‘cover’ for the boss. It’s possible that the place had just run it’s course and pouring capital into opening a second location sometimes kills them both. The second Paseo wasn’t a high traffic area or a destination for people to go on the way to other parts of Ballard. That and a lawsuit may have killed it off.

    Puffy my republican friend is probably going to be pretty unhappy about losing ACA. He retired early and was in wife’s insurance for a while and the only reason why she continued to work, up untill when they were able to get themselves some obamacare. He raved about, she retired. It’s only fitting she has to go back to work. Wait till people start getting hassled again they we be crying for obamacare. Can’t wait till it is repealed and dismantled, republicans will take a hit. People are stupid!

    If Republicans are going to have a long shelf life they will have to come up with useful substitutes to ObummerCare without tortured language!

    Sooooooooo, the latest Gruber video claims Ted Kennedy financed RomneyCare to the bill of $400,000,000 per year.

    Went to Paseo once. It was pretty good. Didn’t care much for the oversized grilled onion on the sandwich. The long lines and not so convenient location were more marks against.

    But definitely wanted to try more things on the menu..

    Oh well – one less scumbag to steal wages from workers. Good riddance.

    All can see #40 is more EPIC FAYLE proof the low IQ monomaniacal moronic moonbat is squawking from a position of lunacy! Notice there is nothing in the low IQ monomaniacal moronic moonbat crazed databaze about Puddy being monomaniacal.

    Menawhile Obummer has fired another 9 generals who don’t kiss his ASS! http://conservativetribune.com.....erals-why/

    According to several high-ranking and respected retired Generals, Generals are being fired or forced into early retirement if they disagree or otherwise dissent from Obama’s agenda that is hollowing out our military force.

    PuddyCommentary: Disagree with the won and you are purged! And…

    It is estimated that at least three of the nine firings that have occurred this year are directly related to Benghazi. Two Generals and an Admiral have gone against the White House narrative on the terror attack, and maintain that US forces in the region could have responded to the attack in time to possibly save the lives of those who were killed.

    State Patrol Spokesman about 594 rally/transfer baiting exercise planned – “We don’t see handing a weapon to someone else as a violation of the law,” Calkins said. “We don’t see that as a transfer.”

    Doesn’t mean that the initiative, as written, could be construed the way anti-594’ers are saying. Just like that not-used vulnerable users law just shows that the police are fine with bicyclists being meat-based speed bumps…. no reason to believe it wasn’t an accident.

    @37. Millions of people will be dead before that happens. You think everyone on obamacare are lazy democrats? There will be many upset republicans, who deserve nothing better than to lose their healthcare plan. Good luck with repeal an plan, if there was a plan why aren’t they talking about a plan. They have no plan. Their plan is Obamacare.

    But another senior aide saw the events a completely different way. The aide noted that the Caucus is allowing two long-time members — Reps. John Barrow and Jim Costa of California — defeated on Election Day to be “grandfathered in” to vote, even though they will not be in the next Congress. And another member whose reelection race has not yet been called, Rep. Ron Barber of Arizona, will also be allowed to vote, said the aide.

    “But here you have a woman, a decorated war veteran who is undergoing a high-risk pregnancy, and they can’t suspend the rules,” said the aide.

    That post was crazed.. What motivated that post? Craziness pure and simple.. It’s an enemies list.

    Anything I did was way more constructive. I produced working code that collects, quantifies and analyzes troll madness and obsession. Had a lot of fun with it. Laughed a lot and learned a lot and not just about the trolls here.

    Fascinating. Do you ever think about history or just make it up as you go along?

    J. Edgar Hoover, appointed Acting Director of FBI during the Coolidge (Republican) Administration. Appointed full Director of FBI during the Coolidge (Republican) administration. Served the next nine years under Coolidge/Hoover (Republican) administrations, served the next 20 years under Roosevelt/Truman (Democratic) administrations and Truman openly considered dismissing him, served eight years for the Eisenhower (Republican) administration, serves three years under the Kennedy (Democratic) administration which openly considered dismissing him and before the first full year of the Johnson (Democratic) administration personally it would seem writes the letter that you are rightfully upset about.

    Yep, that was a Democratic FBI under Hoover I guess.

    Where and when has Puddy EVER approved Iran getting nuclear weapons? More of your insipid inferred word sophistry. EPIC FAYLE! Always speaking from your ASS! Puddy supports Israel you nut! Israel is AGAINST Iran acquiring nuclear weapons.

    You and your ilk support Obummer! Obummer has been trying to make some secret deal with the Ayatollahs. Now that Republicans have the senate things are a changing!

    That clears the air perfectly!

    Sux to be you!

    checkmate,

    Where is the link to your “knowledge”? Or just another of your standard hijacks without attribution. Plagiarism is your game. No link… no proof! Being a DUMMOCRETIN allows you to put anything up on the thread without worries.

    Hoover did his dirty work against MLK, JR during two DUMMOCRETIN sadministrations. Are you telling Puddy that Kennedy and Johnson could not reign in the FBI?

    Do tell!

    More blustering from your ASS!

    It’s the low IQ monomaniacal moronic moonbat who runs to the crazed databaze when the low IQ monomaniacal moronic moonbat loses in each thread. 204 direct argument losses and counting.

    @48. Nobody lost their healthcare plans. You don’t lose your plan if it is replaced with another plan offered. And those that had to change their plan got more comprehensive coverage. That is just you playing politics. I think if 6 million people lost their healthcare, without replacing with another plan, we’d hear more about it. Send me a link that show 6 million lost their plan without being offered another plan, aka Obamacare.

    Their is no Republican plan to provide good healthcare for all.

    What a moron you are. If the “offered plan” does not offer what you previously had, takes away the doctor you knew for years, and costs a hell of a lot more for less coverage, you LOST YOUR PLAN! Sheesh you are as stooooooooooopid as the crazed databaze deala!

    Obama: ‘If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan’

    Here are the 37 instances we could find in which President Barack Obama or a top administration official said something close to, “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan,” referring to health insurance changes under the Affordable Care Act.

    For patients, he made a sweeping pledge that “no matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what. My view is that health care reform should be guided by a simple principle: fix what’s broken and build on what works.”

    The 5 million-plus Americans who’ve seen their health plans canceled thanks to ObamaCare will be joined by millions more this year — because the Affordable Care Act makes their employer-provided policies illegal, as well.

    ObamaCare defenders are trying to minimize the coming pain. Jonathan Gruber, an architect of the law, told The Washington Post that the number of “losers” who will have to pay more for the same or inferior coverage will be “very, very small.” Nonsense. ObamaCare exchange plans — the only option for most people who lose on-the-job coverage — are a raw deal.

    Oh my another Jonathan Gruber quote!

    @piddles

    Really? J. Edgar Hoover. Kind of famous historical figure? A guy about whom volumes have been written about his secret dossiers on ‘enemies’? The FBI director whose abuse of power is well known by anyone who is even slightly curious about history? You require links?

    You’re that ignorant about 20th century America?

    Links won’t really cut it. I suggest you read a book.

    Hmmm… checkmate offers…

    J. Edgar Hoover, the most powerful lawman in America for over fifty years, was also the country’s most controversial and feared public servant. His career as director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation spanned nine different presidential administrations and survived a dozen attempts to sweep him from office. During that time, Hoover completely reshaped domestic law enforcement as he expended the reach of the FBI and transformed his G-men into an elite national crime fighting division. Despite his contributions to the criminal justice system, Hoover fell from favor soon after his death, the victim of rampant rumors and innuendo.

    AND

    In this riveting account of the explosive relationship between Robert F. Kennedy and J. Edgar Hoover, renowned journalist and author Burton Hersh sets their highly publicized clashes in the context of Joe Kennedy’s ongoing manipulation of Congress and his children’s careers, and his lifelong connections to organized crime. Theirs was a unique triumvirate, marked by conflict and betrayal, and culminating in a near-Shakespearean tragedy. Based on compelling new research, and told in gripping anecdotal style, Hersh chronicles the complex relationship between the two antagonists, from their early brushes during the McCarthy years to their controversial deaths.

    AND

    Nuthin for the 3rd link…

    Soooooooooooooooo you put forth a whole bunch of sentences and still no attribution. You made these “claims” checkmate. Those links prove nuthin…

    Sux to be checkmated again!

    Oh Piddles..no wonder you have the intellect of a pre-teen. You think reading an online review of a book is the same as reading the book. I bet your personal bookshelf is 17 different translations of the bible, no original text naturally, and 50 dog eared cliff notes yellow booklets.

    “we want no Gestapo or secret police. The FBI is trending in that direction. They are dabbling in sex-life scandals and plain blackmail. J. Edgar Hoover would give his right eye to take over, and all congressmen and senators are afraid of him”. Harry S. Truman.

    That quote is pretty famous. I’m not fond of it as it is cited by paranoid conspiracy theorists a little too often but there it is.

    The guy you’re trying to defend…Hoover started surveillance and trying to discredit King after the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955. Eisenhower (r) administration. Ever hear of Cointelpro? Sad sad little man you are Piddles. So sure of your convictions, so lacking in knowledge.

  74. 74

    After having spent many flicks of the finger scrolling thru all the posts by puddy I have come to believe that instead of being an asinine troll, puddy is instead just employing Cunningham’s Law trying to get at the truth. At least that is what I would like to think, the former being so much more depressing than the latter.

  75. 75

    @73 You humans are strange. Your psyches demonstrate an inverse relationship between knowledge and conviction; to wit, the more ignorant a member of your species is, the most sure of his beliefs he is. Very strange. How did you survive long enough to become the dominant species? There must be a few capable members of your species who are protecting the rest from their own folly. I believe you call them “liberals.”

  76. 76

    There goes checkmate making wild ASSed accusations. You offered those links as RESPONSE to Puddy’s request. You then try to change the tune and claim Puddy this, Puddy that, Puddy the other.

    Now you are claiming Puddy is DEFENDING Hoover? Prove it!

    Time and Date?
    HA DUMMOCRETIN blog entry?

    You lost the argument of no atribution, just another plagiaristic hijack of sentences with no sources! You are as crazy as the empty tea bag with the chafed puffed butt. Hoover was scum, just like you are today!

    Where are the links or book hijacks to post #58.

    Put up or STCU. It really sux to be you!

    @74,

    Puddy posts truths from all web sites. DUMOCRETINS are scum. They can’t tell the truth!

    @78 Where do Republicans advocate their political opponents be shut up?

    Did the Republicans use the IRS against DUMMOCRETIN progressives like Obummer and Senate DUMMOCRETINS did against Tea Party groups?

    @76

    Well you blamed the threatening letter that Hoover personal wrote on a ‘Democrat FBI’ rather than the 30 years on the job FBI director who actually wrote the letter and has a historical record of illegal and abusive tactics.

    So yeah, I’m comfortable saying you’re defending Hoover.

    Now go stomp you’re feet in some other corner of the internet and say, “Did not…DID Not…DID NOT…DID NOT!”

    Sorry klownservatives, one less witchhunt off your list:

    “We feel very confident that going forward our portfolio is much less risky than it has been,” Davidson said.

    That is because most of the projects that received government loans are large power plants that are now feeding electricity into the grid, Davidson said. They include massive photovoltaic solar and solar thermal power plants in California and Arizona, wind farms and geothermal energy facilities.

    Since DOE approved loans for the five utility-scale photovoltaic projects, 17 more have been funded by private investors who would not have taken on that risk five years ago, Davidson said.

    You can call Puddy a coward all you want

    For you asking for something to back up something I posted, I deliver and you run away..

    A person of integrity would “concede”.. Admit he or she was wrong not to mention made shit up.

    You couldn’t do that. You’re a coward. NO BALLS!!!

    @70

    Posts yet more Betsy the loon McCaughey crap.. Can I get a side order of discredited hack Avik Roy with that??

    checkmate, checkmate, checkmate,

    Changing the subject as you always do when opponents foot meets checkmate ASS!

    There you ago again… Puddy wrote Hoover created the letter during a DUMMOCRETIN administration. You don’t think RFK as Atty General didn’t know about it?

    Sheeeeesh you are moronic!

    Still waiting for those original links to #58.

    Sux to be you!

    Let’s see about the monomaniacal moronic moonbat…

    You asked if others could open a link in at least two different threads. No takers whatsoever. Now you are still at it days later!

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    mono·ma·nia·cal – pathological obsession, psychoneurotic, neurotic – diseased person, sick person, sufferer – a person suffering from an illness – affected with emotional disorder – an inordinate or obsessive zeal for or interest in a single thing, idea, subject, or the like. They identified you as whack, gone off the deep end, no contact with reality, demented, feckless, crazy, touched by stoooooooooopidity, clueless, insipid, and infected by the stoooooooooooopid virus!

    @ 81

    YLB, remember when post-bailout Chrysler crowed that it had paid back loans? Then we learned that they paid them back with money they had received as replacement loans?

    Did this:

    World’s largest solar plant applying for federal grant to pay off federal loan

    http://www.foxnews.com/politic.....s-federal/

    get included in the DOE’s numbers? Was money granted or loaned to the projects used to pad the moneys ‘paid back’ to the government, similar to what Chrysler tried to pull?

    Do you have any idea, YLB?

  87. 87

    Yes the libtard mind is a strange thing. Puddy been having a hard time explaining truths to HA DUMMOCRETINS since 2005… Jonathan Gruber explains it. DUMMOCRETINS are stoooooooooooopid! http://www.nationalreview.com/.....rich-lowry

    This denies Gruber his due. He has done us all a favor by affording us an unvarnished look into the progressive mind, which values complexity over simplicity, favors indirect taxes and impositions on the American public so their costs can be hidden, and has a dim view of the average American.

    Complexity is a staple of liberal policymaking. It is a product of its scale and reach, but also of the imperative to hide the ball. Taxing and spending and redistributive schemes tend to be unpopular, so clever ways have to be found to deny that they are happening. This is what Gruber was getting at. One reason Obamacare was so convoluted is that its supporters didn’t want to straightforwardly admit how much the law was raising taxes and using the young and healthy to subsidize everyone else.

    So here’s what we know now…

    1) According to the CBO, the newest ObummerCare cost projections over the next 10 years has crossed $1.4 Trillion. Butt Obummer promised everyone with keeping your healthcare plan and your doctor in 2009 and ObummerCare would cost less than $1 trillion over 10 years. Liar… – liar, liar! ObummerCare added 20+ new taxes totaling over $500 billion. Butt you had to pass the bill before you could find this out!

    2) ObummerCare adds 159 new boards and guvmint agencies. Even Howard Dean admitted Sarah Palin was right, there are death panels (Independent Payment Advisory Board) in ObummerCare. Butt that’s not onerous per DUMMOCRETINS… “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help” – Ronald Reagan

    3) Many poorly running and screwed-up state exchanges with high deductible ObummerCare policies, narrow ObummerCare doctor choices (you can’t keep your doctor after all?), with only 14 states running exchanges butt the feds are giving away subsidies even though Gruber told everyone it’s not supposed to. SCOTUS gonna review this next year! John Roberts was called stooooooooooopid. Yeah, that’s the ticket!

    Thank you DUMMOCRETIN Professor Jonathan Gruber! DUMMOCRETINS are stoooooooooopid! That’s why they voted for the law!

    In 2015 something magical is happening multiple times.

    This year, the penalty is $95 per person or 1% of income. Next year, the penalty will be $325 per person or 2% of income, whichever is higher because ObummerCare has to make up for the lost revenue from UNION cadillac health policies. If you don’t pay they will take it out of your 2014 tax refund you hope to get in 2015.

    Next ObummerCare rates are gonna rise immensely http://news.investors.com/poli.....NewsLatest

    An examination of next year’s rates in the biggest city in 15 states and Washington, D.C., reveals that the cost of the cheapest bronze plan will jump an average of 13.9% for 40-year-old non-smokers earning 225% of the poverty level ($26,260).

    In Seattle, the cost of the cheapest bronze plan, after subsidies, will soar 64%, from $60 to $98 per month, for individuals at this income level. Some other cities seeing notable gains include Providence (up 38%, from $72 to $99 per month); Los Angeles (up 27%, from $88 to $111); Las Vegas (up 22%, from $100 to $122); and New York (up 18%, from $97 to $114).

    Butt that’s okay for HA DUMMOCRETINS because ObummerCare is progressive! The lowest priced catastrophic policy will climb 18 percent on average. Yes HA DUMMOCRETINS are cheering right now.

    And last butt not least is the employer mandate which will affect between 25-60 Million more American peeps so they can offer health care to illegal aliens. http://www.washingtontimes.com.....ve-citize/

    FACTS, things that make DUMMOCRETIN cringe!

  88. 88

    @86, where was your voice until Puddy forced your hand? What did the link say? What was the link about?

  89. 89

    Soooooooooooooooooo Obummer lied about RomneyCare being the basis for Obummercare… http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/.....an-gruber/ Ted Kennedy got Massachusetts a yearly slushy fund of $400,000,000 to fund the healthcare of the uninsured in MA through RomneyCare. No wonder ObummerCare is now costing $1.4+ Trillion and climbing! That’s why your premiums and deductibles are so high in these “plans”! That’s why ObummerCare taxes your insurance company (per Gruber which you are too stoooooooooooooopid economically to comprehend), which then passes on the cost to you!

    Sux to be a stoooooooooooooopid DUMMOCRETIN!

  91. 91

    @88 I waited because it would be much funnier if you howled about it for a couple of days first.

    I hope you aren’t straining yourself, what with all those heavy goalposts you are moving around!

    It was a brief to the Supreme Court, filed by the government (the Department of Health and Human Services), making the argument that the individual mandate is a tax. Here’s a link to the same file from the Big Court itself:

    http://www.supremecourt.gov/do.....0Reply.pdf

    You had said “It was Roberts who made it a tax.” YLB disagreed and proved it. You were wrong and YLB was right. It’s OK. I know you won’t look at the PDF. Why not head outside, rest your back, and enjoy the nice clear weather we’ve been having?

  92. 92

    @90 “Well read” in the sense that the funnies are the most read section in the Sunday paper, absolutely.

  93. 93

    Ummm… Puddy asked the monomaniacal moronic moonbat about this hijack from the LA Times…

    As Verrilli put it in his initial brief: “The practical operation of the minimum coverage provision [i.e., the individual mandate] is as a tax law. It is fully integrated into the tax system, will raise substantial revenue, and triggers only tax consequences for non-compliance.”

    Not found in your “offered” document. That’s Puddy’s argument. What the monomaniacal moronic moonbat put up in the LA Times is not in your “link” Soooooooooo, that’s not the original brief.

    Puddy not straining at all. Goalposts… Only in your mind. Still waiting…

    Thanks for playing.

    Regarding well read, remember all you DUMMOCRETINS claim you don’t read Puddy. Well it seems Puddy is well read. And since you call it comix relief, FACTS are comedy to DUMMOCRETINS such as yourself. Butt, tonight your comedy returns in the Friday Night Comix.

    Enjoy!

    How Police Departments are operated in Conservative states.

    No surprises here. The GOP and the modern American Conservative only believe in business and that includes that of law enforcement. As they consider Law Enforcement organizations to be just another form of business, the primary purpose of the industry should be to pay the salaries of their own staff, and the ancillary systems dependent on it while generating a surplus of funds to the parent organization such as a City or County or State government to be distributed around the individual members of the managing bureaucracy.

    It’s all about the money. Rape investigations are not nearly as profitable as traffic tickets, drug busts and such where large fines and extrajudicial confiscation of valuable property are the real goals.

    It must be nice to live in a national-corporatist paradise like New Orleans. Perhaps our resident schizophreniac fucktard should move there. He certainly hates this State with a rabid, spittle-flecked passion. Besides, there is a large population of his own kind, so to speak.

    On CNN today Jay Carney admitted Jonathan Gruber was the economic architect of ObummerCare… Jay Carney would know… Official Obummer Sadministration mouthpiece then!

    @96 and @97. And while your at it talk to the shrink about you obsession with pulling the race card. Have another banana you ape. You upset because It’s no longer watermelon season.

    Always calling someone a racist, coming from the biggest bigot. Funny.

  103. 103

    I have simply been ignoring puddy’s posts. When I see his little round head icon, I just skip to the next post. It’s much more pleasant. There is no point in engaging him, he just lies and ignores facts and logic. Worst, he’s a terrible example of a christian and gives real Christians a bad name.

  104. 104

    @103 Conservatives aren’t real Christians. They just use their churches for networking. They like to scam each other.

    Hey dummy.

    “I was called middle class Joe which in Washington…means you’re not sophisticated.”

    Other people say middle class is unsophisticated.

    Another translation, people call me “Middle class joe” as some sort of insult.

    Are you really stupid or just playing stupid? Wait dumb question. You’re stupid.
