Hypocrisy 101

So dang funny...

So dang funny.
The truth is that there is probably something that was told to both of them to keep wiping their hands. Your dealing with a very screwed up time in a very hard hit place.
You can even see clinton (in the same bit of footage) wiping his hand off on his shirt.
The HILARIOUS thing is that 'W' is wiping his hand ON clinton.

Even though I'm abit pissed at 'W' for alot of his spending...He still does things that endear me to him.

>:D

Buck up! All is not lost. Why you ask?....

I said from the beginning what would happen if obama won the election.
Less than a year into his presidency, I was able to say "I TOLD'JA SO",

I said that when it would happen (and it would happen quickly), the crash would be "spectacular".

I was correct...but with that let me say that the 'spectacular' part....has not yet occured. But we are getting very close to it. And it will absolutely demolish the dems. And with the jam down of obama care (which I also said would happen...THROUGH 'reconciliation')...... We're close to it.

So, with that...I can hear you asking yourself:
"where are we now oh great and powerful Handel!? The bill is passed, you magnificent bastard."

What will happen now? Well, now the fight continues towards November where this will be hammered down the throats of the dems.
All the while the taxes will start to come down on the public. Small biz will continue to struggle, and the recession will continue to drag on.
Once the elections happen and IF the Republicans take over even ONE chamber....we starve the bill.
STARVE it.

If the republicans take over even ONE chamber, guess who holds the purse strings...congress. And if the Republicans take over a chamber...obama care gets halted.
And if/when obama loses reelection....the repeal will happen and we can get to the business of doing real reform.

Again..I hear you:

"Oh Handel..you handsome piece of vile man-flesh, with a pooper so glorious, they should market hats that resemble it and sell it at Walmart....HOW have you been able to be soooooo damn accurate! In allllll that you've said???? "

Is it because i am a genius? Well, it doesn't hurt to be a genius..(which I am. What? you haven't heard my tunes?..philistine!!)
But it isn't that I'm 'super smert'. Its simply because none of the obama numbers add up. They are destined to fail. The same way obama was destined to fail if anyone looked at his resume or history of experience. He's a nothing. Built from nothing. A cover with no actual pages.
So that is how I have been able to be razor sharp on my predictions.

The only way...obama had a chance (ironically)... is if the same thing happened to him that happened to Clinton. If the republicans knocked him back a step. Causing him to shelve obamacare.
Now thats gone. Obama care is here...and while its here for just a small time (before being repealed)....it will still cause enourmous damage. Damage to every household across the country.
Why? Because you:

...........CAN'T SPEND MONEY......YOU DON'T HAVE!!

It's always been about common sense. All of which democrats and obama have never had.
And sadly the American electorate last November took leave of, and is now paying the price for.
But that can be changed......all of it changed.....

...............................starting THIS November!

Indeed...

Now we'll see....will premiums go down?

what do you think?

Moment at hand. (Or rather) standing at the cliff with one foot off.

As we reach the boiling point of this healthcare vote. Note: I do believe that this vote will happen and it will be passed. I've always believed that they would shove it through.
I also said from the begining that I believe it will be the end of the democrats in congress and the urkel obamas presidency.

*There will be a long road from here, as the republicans will hammer it with amendments and so forth to weaken it.
*Then the lawsuits come down from the States refusing to enact obama care due to explosive costs to the individual states.
Spectacle city baby!

*Then we hit them hard every day till November when we crush them in congress and replace the dem wastes of space with grown ups who will take the credit card back.

Mind you...all the way TO Nov, all of the taxes will be coming down, Small biz will continue to struggle as they will be hit with a great deal of taxes and they will either shut down or continue to not hire people. Recession will continue, and people will continue to suffer.
Allllll the way to November. Aaaand then we will have a new congress. Pointing in a better direction.
Then we prepare to send the boy presidunce back to whence he came. And get to the serious work of repealing this bill.
And yeah...It can be done. All we need to have..or rather...continue to have, is the American people and 51 votes.

Change is coming indeed. We just have to survive the self inflicted wound..which we will.

Now as I say that, you would do right to remember that: I have been correct from the moment obama was elected. Correct about what would happen. Correct about everything.

So, as for what I'm saying now?

Count on it.

Ryan to confused dumbocrat: " I can tell you don't understand it accurately.

Paul Ryan DESTROYS three dumb democrats on healthcare debate.
This is what everyone should understand. Three democrats...totally confused about what bill they're arguing about! Who don't even know whats in THEIR own bill much less Paul Ryan's bill.
Now here we stand on the brink of passing a bill that will do enormous harm to our country and these dickweeds don't even know what their passing.

Rasmussen finds that "just 20% of voters think most members of Congress will understand what is in the plan before they vote."

They are absolutely correct. As is painfully evident.

When you watch this dumb woman democrat...hobble through, dazed and confused on what friggin bill shes trying to talk about...its frightening.
Ryans line "I can tell you don't understand it accurately." comes at the 3:32 mark.
He goes on to kick all three dems assy's all over the place.

Feast.

AND NOW!! For something... completely different

The stuff that makes you remember that life, real life is beautiful. And sometimes it's just about a kid and a ukulele. Simple as that.

FORBES: Pushing ObamaCare was an astonishing misjudgment...

Uncommon Sense
Wrong Bill At The Wrong Time
Shikha Dalmia, 03.10.10, 12:01 AM ET

"""Even if Democrats extract the votes to put ObamaCare over the top, it will at best be a Pyrrhic victory for them. Regardless of the outcome, this monstrosity might cost the Democrats the Congress this November, ruin the party for a long time and prematurely render Barack Obama a lame duck president for the rest of his term.

So why didn't the Democrats pull back when they still had the chance? The reason is that both the Democratic Party and President Obama have mutually reinforcing blind spots that have rendered them incapable of seeing what's crystal clear to every other sentient being in the country: This was the wrong bill at the wrong time.

The only comic relief in the otherwise grim, yearlong ObamaCare saga has been the spectacle of progressive pundits scratching their heads to explain the bill's nose-diving popularity: Betsy McCaughey is a lying bitch whose chatter about death panels has spooked Americans; the bill is too tame for Americans who really want a public option; Democrats are just too damn nice to engage in the gutter partisan politics necessary to push their agenda through; Republicans are nay-saying obstructionists; and, my personal favorite, President Obama, arguably the most gifted orator alive, does not have the communication skills necessary to sell this bill (of goods).

In fact, the real reason why ObamaCare is so unpopular is that it is proposing a giant expansion of the entitlement state precisely when this state everywhere is coming apart: here and abroad; at the federal level and the state; in the public sector and the private. Suggesting a giant government takeover of a sixth of the economy can't be a popular selling point in a country whose DNA has a programmed hostility to Big Government.

Even before President Obama rammed through his trillion-dollar-plus stimulus/bailout packages last year, there was a growing sentiment that the country's top priority ought to be tackling the entitlement programs whose liabilities are like a swelling aneurysm in the brain of the body politic waiting to rupture. The combined unfunded liabilities of Medicare and Social Security--the federal health care and the pension programs for the elderly--are $107 trillion, seven times the current GDP. Meanwhile, Medicaid, the joint federal-state health insurance program, is consuming on average 21% of state budgets, their single biggest ticket item even before ObamaCare dumps another 16 million people into the program, expanding the Medicaid population by 25%. Beyond that, state and local government have promised their employees a trillion dollars more in pension and other benefits than they have funds to deliver.

There are not enough taxpayers in the country or creditors in China capable of financing all these promises. Expanding this massive, multifarious entitlement state even more strikes most normal people as sheer lunacy--especially now that it is visibly coming apart at the seams.

General Motors and Chrysler--the corporate version of the public welfare state in which unions had negotiated the best wage and pension deals in the free world--have already been forced into a taxpayer-financed bankruptcy. California, America's most European state, is technically bankrupt, thanks to the ubiquitous influence on the state budget of its public unions and its entitlement spending. Meanwhile, the deficits and debt of the so-called European PIGS (Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain)--the social democracies whose cradle-to-grave welfare policies are the inspiration behind ObamaCare--are on the brink of bankruptcy. Greece, the most vulnerable of the lot, has a deficit of 12.7% of the GDP--not that much higher than America's 10.6 %.

Pushing ObamaCare was an astonishing misjudgment, the domestic policy equivalent of President Bush launching a full-scale preemptive strike against Iran after embroiling the country in Iraq and Afghanistan. But why don't progressives get that this is terrible economic timing? Because this is the moment they have been waiting for since Lyndon Johnson enacted Medicare. Never mind that the economy then, unlike now, was booming. What matters is they have in the White House as sympathetic a president as they can ever hope to get--combined with sizable margins of Democrats in both chambers. Republicans, moreover, have been thoroughly discredited on both foreign and domestic policy having presided over two unpopular wars and a financial meltdown of epic proportions. In short, the political stars have never been--and likely never will be--aligned more auspiciously in the progressives' lifetime, and they will be damned if they'll allow quotidian worries about the economy or anything else to stop them. It is now or never.

There is no tactic too low to deploy--and no cause too sacred to abandon. If Americans are unenthused about universal coverage, screw 'em. If it is necessary to use reconciliation--meant strictly for budgetary matters--to ram the bill through Congress on a strictly partisan vote, then so be it. If filibuster rules that Democrats themselves restored in 1975 are now coming in the way, get rid of them.

---

The prize for the most bizzaro accusation, however, goes to Katha Pollitt of The Nation who blamed ObamaCare's woes on the two-senators-per-state rule that she alleged the Founding Fathers had enshrined in the Constitution as a sop to slave states, thereby diluting the voice of populous multiethnic powerhouses such as New York and California. But this fundamental principle of our bicameral constitution had nothing to do with slavery, a fact she was forced to finally admit. It was meant to give the underdogs of the day--rural, relatively powerless states--constitutional parity, a concern that one would have thought progressives would applaud.

But egged on by the progressive punditocracy, Democrats are behaving as if, once they jam ObamaCare through, nothing else matters. It's like they'll never have to worry about being the minority party in need of constitutional checks and balances.

A sensible president would of course step in and provide some adult supervision to a wayward party hell-bent on jumping off this cliff. But the problem is that President Obama believes in his own messianism too deeply for that. His goal is not to remake his party as it could be but "remake this world as it should be." In his book Dreams From My Father Obama gives the distinct impression that his gifts are too great for the smallness of our political stage. He regrets not having been born during the civil rights era when the grandness of the cause would have measured up to the grandness of his ambition. He is in search of something big that will allow him to make his mark on the world as Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King did. Hence, the defeat of ObamaCare would not just be par for the course in the rough-and-tumble world of politics for him. It would be sign of his ordinariness, his mortality, and that, to him, is unendurable.

But the rub is that even if ObamaCare passes, Democrats and President Obama will lose. Republicans have already vowed to make November a referendum on this bill and, by all auguries, Democrats are going to lose big time. The loss of one election if the larger cause succeeds wouldn't be a big deal. But this bill has little legitimacy and for years might be tied up in constitutional challenges against its individual mandate provision--not to mention the provisions that turn insurance companies into public utilities without due process. ObamaCare could well become President Obama's Iraq. Worst of all from the standpoint of his personal life story, it will exacerbate the crisis of the entitlement state, requiring someone else to step forward and clean up the fiscal mess he is creating.

Ironically, Obama is not only sowing the seeds for the destruction of his own legacy--but also for the creation of someone else's. Far from being the savior--he's the one who will be in need of saving."""

"If Democrats ignore health-care polls, midterms will be costly"

"If Democrats ignore health-care polls, midterms will be costly"

By Patrick H. Caddell and Douglas E. Schoen

Friday, March 12, 2010

""In "The March of Folly," Barbara Tuchman asked, "Why do holders of high office so often act contrary to the way reason points and enlightened self-interest suggests?" Her assessment of self-deception -- "acting according to wish while not allowing oneself to be deflected by the facts" -- captures the conditions that are gripping President Obama and the Democratic Party leadership as they renew their efforts to enact health-care reform.

Their blind persistence in the face of reality threatens to turn this political march of folly into an electoral rout in November. In the wake of the stinging loss in Massachusetts, there was a moment when the president and the Democratic leadership seemed to realize the reality of the health-care situation. Yet like some seductive siren of Greek mythology, the lure of health-care reform has arisen again.

As pollsters to the past two Democratic presidents, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, respectively, we feel compelled to challenge the myths that seem to be prevailing in the political discourse and to once again urge a change in course before it is too late. At stake is the kind of mainstream, common-sense Democratic Party that we believe is crucial to the success of the American enterprise.

Bluntly put, this is the political reality:

First, the battle for public opinion has been lost. Comprehensive health care has been lost. If it fails, as appears possible, Democrats will face the brunt of the electorate's reaction. If it passes, however, Democrats will face a far greater calamitous reaction at the polls. Wishing, praying or pretending will not change these outcomes

Nothing has been more disconcerting than to watch Democratic politicians and their media supporters deceive themselves into believing that the public favors the Democrats' current health-care plan. Yes, most Americans believe, as we do, that real health-care reform is needed. And yes, certain proposals in the plan are supported by the public.

However, a solid majority of Americans opposes the massive health-reform plan. Four-fifths of those who oppose the plan strongly oppose it, according to Rasmussen polling this week, while only half of those who support the plan do so strongly. Many more Americans believe the legislation will worsen their health care, cost them more personally and add significantly to the national deficit. Never in our experience as pollsters can we recall such self-deluding misconstruction of survey data.

The White House document released Thursday arguing that reform is becoming more popular is in large part fighting the last war. This isn't 1994; it's 2010. And the bottom line is that the American public is overwhelmingly against this bill in its totality even if they like some of its parts.

The notion that once enactment is forced, the public will suddenly embrace health-care reform could not be further from the truth -- and is likely to become a rallying cry for disaffected Republicans, independents and, yes, Democrats.

Second, the country is moving away from big government, with distrust growing more generally toward the role of government in our lives. Scott Rasmussen asked last month whose decisions people feared more in health care: that of the federal government or of insurance companies. By 51 percent to 39 percent, respondents feared the decisions of federal government more. This is astounding given the generally negative perception of insurance companies.

CNN found last month that 56 percent of Americans believe that the government has become so powerful it constitutes an immediate threat to the freedom and rights of citizens. When only 21 percent of Americans say that Washington operates with the consent of the governed, as was also reported last month, we face an alarming crisis.

Health care is no longer a debate about the merits of specific initiatives. Since the spectacle of Christmas dealmaking to ensure passage of the Senate bill, the issue, in voters' minds, has become less about health care than about the government and a political majority that will neither hear nor heed the will of the people.

Voters are hardly enthralled with the GOP, but the Democrats are pursuing policies that are out of step with the way ordinary Americans think and feel about politics and government. Barring some change of approach, they will be punished severely at the polls.

Now, we vigorously opposed Republican efforts in the Bush administration to employ the "nuclear option" in judicial confirmations. We are similarly concerned by Democrats' efforts to manipulate passage of a health-care bill. Doing so in the face of constant majority opposition invites a backlash against the party at every level -- and at a time when it already faces the prospect of losing 30 or more House seats and eight or more Senate seats.

For Democrats to begin turning around their political fortunes there has to be a frank acknowledgement that the comprehensive health-care initiative is a failure, regardless of whether it passes. There are enough Republican and Democratic proposals -- such as purchasing insurance across state lines, malpractice reform, incrementally increasing coverage, initiatives to hold down costs, covering preexisting conditions and ensuring portability -- that can win bipartisan support. It is not a question of starting over but of taking the best of both parties and presenting that as representative of what we need to do to achieve meaningful reform. Such a proposal could even become a template for the central agenda items for the American people: jobs and economic development.

Unless the Democrats fundamentally change their approach, they will produce not just a march of folly but also run the risk of unmitigated disaster in November.""

"patches throws a hissy....cuz he's a sissy.

Patrick "patches" kennedy..who will be leaving us (sob) soon..Tries to remain somewhat relevant by throwing a tantrum about the medias coverage of the "massa (D) scandals".
It's just kinda fun to watch such an obviously spoiled lil girl throw a fit like this.
You can almost picture him as a lil junior that didn't get a pony for his fifth birthday.
:(

This is the type that you just want to beat up (comon, admit it!) and shove in a locker with some dirty sweaty underwear shoved in his mouth.

Whats even more amusing...is that this is EXACTLY how I picture my old nemisis "countsy" to be and even in some ways look. When I see Patches kennedy..I see my "countsy".
"Weeehhhhh! waaaaaagh! WAAAAAAAGH!!"

Although I gotta say..."countsy", has been very quiet lately. Golly...I hope everything is alright. Can't imagine why he would be so quiet.
Maybe he's sad...And not just in an overall way, but in an emotional way.

"Countsy...hun..if your out there, and if your sad and you need a hug..I hope you'll change you're mind and have the audacity to come and get a hug from me. I do believe we can put our differences aside and come together in a sincere moment of unity.
Yes!
Yes we can!
