Obama needs to be scrapped (impeached) now.

IMPEACH NOW! but then we need to impeach the VP shortly thereafter too. And most likely the next motherfucker and the one after that...

Obama's a serial liar.  Even his 2012 pre-election Jobs Report was faked.  Without this intentional fraud, he probably never would have been re-elected.

 

Obama's a fraud who's only talent is BLOWING BUBBLES.

Not gonna happen. Liberals have the long view. The website is immaterial. The flaws are not bugs. They are features. Rates too high? No problem. It will be a liberal campaign promise to provide more subsidy.

First, no entitlement gets repealed they ALWAYS grow. (Even the current discussion about chained CPI for SS is about slowing the rate of growth.) Second, in the case of Obamacare, who is going to uninvite those with newly covered pre-existing conditions?

Boehner folded like a Dollar Store tent when he had numerous chances to stand up against the status quo.

If the Republicans truly wanted to offer a real alternative, they would be holding the presidential office now. But that would mean that Ron Paul would be in the Whitehouse.

Their despicable back room shenanigans cost them the support they needed to win, and an increasing number of people are waking up to the fact that there isn't any 'red' or 'blue', just a greyish-purple.

Prains is correct - Obama is a script reader. And an imbecile to boot. Did you see the article this morning about the disastrous conference call to his OFA gang? He was rambling, throwing out ridiculous numbers ('100 million enrolled') and just sounded depressed and terrible. Not to mention the fact that the website went down and the audio was choppy.You take this guy off script and he has no idea what the hell is going on. Barnhardt is right - he's a drug addled idiot who is kept in an office watching ESPN all day and only seen by his closest advisors. No one has meetings with this guy outside his most inner circle. No one really knows who is in charge or what's going on.

Remember Obama and his buddies were rushing us into war with Syria two months ago. Whate ver happened to that?

Not true. That is what your Government wants you to believe. So you can believe it if you want.

 

Sorry to confuse you with the facts...Here is what actually happened....which...the Main Stream Media DID NOT REPORT.

 

The "Islamic State in Iraq and Greater Syria" group, which has been fighting in Syria, says it has started military action against its former ally, the so-called Free Syrian Army.

 

Source: http://www.turkishweekly.net/news/156075/armed-conflict-between-free-syrian-army-and-al-qaeda-fighters.html

 

I have other sources. You can find those by typing in your Internet Web Browser Search Page, "al qaeda attacks the free syrian army september 2013". You do have that capability right at your fingertips. There is NO EXCUSE FOR IGNORANCE.

 

Most IGNORANCE is intentional. I am nobody special. I am just an asshole who is typing in the Comments Section of Zerohedge. The Internet is at my fingertips. Well...that is also true...FOR YOU.

 

United States goals are being accomplished through a Proxy War.

 

We fund and supply Al Qaeda with "State of the Art" NATO Weapons. But we do not give them enough to prevail over the Free Syrian Army and the Syrian Government..

 

We fund and supply the Free Syrian Army with NATO Weapons. But we do not give them enough to prevail against Al Qaeda and the Syrian Government.

 

We have "Budget Restraints", you know? That is what we tell them...

 

The Nation of Syria, as a result, is in turmoil. The US Troops are not directly involved.

 

Putin has no real gripe.

 

Everybody in the USA is happy as we supposedly won a "Political Victory" because we "pressured" the Government not to commit Troops.

 

Syria is in turmoil. THE PIPELINE WILL NOT BE CONSTRUCTED IN A WARZONE. And Israel keeps direct control over Natural Gas Flows in that region which makes them happy.

 

Besides it is only THOUSANDS of WOMEN and CHILDREN being slaughtered over in Syria...FOR YOU...so that you can make money. But that does not matter as they are Muslims, right?

 

Is everybody happy now?

"you can't fix stupid." i find it funny anyone is saying anything about the ACA. Before (me included) I thought "the Speaker is going down on this thing." I thought he took a politically suicidal stand supporting "the back benchers" like Ted Cruz and "all us tea baggers" and so I was surprised a: he took the stand, b: he took the heat, c: the tea baggers thanked him for doing so and d: he turned out to be spot on vis a vis both the policy and politics of the ACA. most Speakerships end over these matters...I think he comes out of this thing look like a clear winner...wish him and his constituents all the best. Be nice to "broaden the debate" about "why we hate politicians in America" actually. we're being divided...our House has fallen. I think aloof America knows this and have given up on the whole process for that reason. "by engaging in it our lives are made worse." what's the plan to make America a better place? not some spiteful, hateful, fear mongering batch of wacko's who's sole interest is in being prepubescent purient pontificator who everyone has stopped listening to let alone "believing in." I mean just how bad are the ratings here? who really is watching this shit on the television anyways? forget no believing these clowns anymore...these broadcasters are the laughing stock of Planet Earth. or worse...

Pussies don't like dicks because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes. Assholes that just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can fuck a asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is they fuck too much or fuck when it isn't appropriate. And it takes a pussy to show them that. But sometimes pussies can be so full of shit that they become assholes themselves. Because pussies are a inch and half away from assholes. I don't know much about this crazy crazy world, but I do know this. If you don't let us fuck this asshole we're going to have our dicks and pussies all covered in shit.

I agree.

However, I believe Boner's comments are meant to setup an actual take-down repeal of Obamacare rather than a delay of the mandate. A delay is a tactic towards the eventual goal of dismantling. His comments seem more aimed for outright destruction instead of wounding. And its death can't arrive soon enough.

BTW, any bets on when the Administration bans all use of 'Obamacare' and switches to calling it ONLY by the official name of the ACA/Affordable Care Act? It'll be rather obvious the president 'gets it' when he tries to take his own name off of it.

I was telling Doc about the progressive websites admonishing their readers to use the term "Affordable Care Act" instead of Obamacare to give distance for the president and dems from the bill. Thinkprogress.com was one of them. I don't think its going to work at this point.

and this is news?  more like NO SHIT.  anyone that has insurance will be paying more.  so that those that dont have insurance can pay something for the same coverage you have.....before they get all the money back via tax credits on their tax returns.  socialism at its finest (or worsest....depending how you view it).

Someone close to me just saw their MS medication go from $35 to OVER TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS. Another went up a few hundred. This has to be stopped now before the whole thing brings us all down. I have a terrible feeling this isn't going to end with high medication, deductible, and premium prices - this is going to start spreading all over the place soon.

Don't under estimate the mob. The establishment fears the mob mentality. They can't control it without getting violent and Obamacare is shaping up to be one of those establishment killers not Dem or Rep but anyone establishment. The Dem side is fracturing big time now also. Their Tea Party equivalent is gaining some real steam aka the the Lyndon LauRouche PAC is gaining popularity and they want Obama impeached for war crimes and Glass Steagal reinstated. They hate Obamacare also. Add the Occupy Movement into the mix the Eye of O'Sauron is going to be distracted once they start really acting up and being a disruptive force. You are dealing with small minded people who only think in 2 poles, once those poles shift from DEM/REP L/R to Establishment/Non-establishment all hell is going to break loose. Obamacare is shaping up to be that issue that is going to reshape the 2 pole thinking coming into mid terms. Keep it in effect, let the people experience first hand how bad they've been fucked, they need to experience the full bruntal consequences of their apathy. Anything short of that probably won't shake enough the establishment's grip on power to make any difference without bloodshed in the streets.

DCH - love your posts.  Have one problem with what you propose above...democrats ALWAYS vote democrat.  Period. 

79 percent of democrats to this day think obama is doing a good job.  I think also it's safe to say 90% of blacks will vote for democras and 70-80% of hispanics will vote democrat.  Every union worker and political insider will vote democrat.   Every taker will vote democrat. 

Please don't be fooled...democrats will never vote for anyone that will switch power away from a democrat, or the very least, to allow a republican to win.   Christ, they voted Marion Barry back into office after he was caught on video fucking prostitutes and doing crack.   And how close did Weiner, the mini-tyrant get to making as mayor of NYC.  Unfortunately for NYC, they got 100 times worse.

OK, so we scrap ObamaCare tomorrow. What do we replace it with?

Make no mistake. To fix healthcare in the USA with real capitalist solutions is going to screw the pharmaceutical industry, insurance industry and the hospital industry, causing all those lovely donations to congress to dry up.

Insurance, big pharma and the hospitals will fight tooth and nail to stifle real competition. Big pharma will continue to fight drug imports from other countries. Hospitals and doctors will fight for the right to conceal their prices, and insurance companies will fight to make sure that they aren't competing with other insurance companies in other states, or other countries.

Think Boehner or any of his spineless cohorts (tea party or moderate) have the balls to fix this? Even when Republicans owned the senate, the house, and the presidencyduring the Bush years, they did *nothing*.

Don't like Obamacare? Well, you broke it. You bought it. Republicans never even suggested we change the rules and deregulate to let the market fix the problem. Obamacare is at least, an attempt to fix a rigged system.

Actually Ian, during the Bush years the House did pass a bill that would let health insurance products cross state lines. There were some very minimal standards set, but otherwise the product had only to comply with the laws of the state in which they were located. If I recall, this was going to be a boon for SD since they have the fewest mandates.

It was either a Steve Buyer or Mike Pence bill.  I thought the debate in the House Energy and Commerce Committee over it was among the most thoughtful and well informated discussions about the issue that I've ever heard.  You should be able to find the transcript if you are interested.

It, of course, went nowhere in the Sente.

The U.S. government has just passed a new law entitled "The Affordable CAR Act" declaring that every citizen MUST purchase a new car by April, 2014. These 'affordable' cars will cost an average of $54,000-$155,000 each. This does not include taxes, tags, registration, fuel, maintenance, or repair costs. This law has been passed because, until now, typically only wealthy and financially responsible people have been able to purchase cars. This new law ensures that every American can now have an 'affordable' car of their own, because everyone is 'entitled' to a new car. If you purchase your car before the end of the year, you will receive four 'free' tires (does not include mounting). In order to make sure everyone purchases an 'affordable car,' the cost of owning a car will increase on average of 250-400% per year. This way, wealthy people will pay more for something that other people don't want or can't afford to maintain. But, to be fair, people who can't afford to maintain their car will be regularly fined and children (under the age of 26) can use their parents car(s) to drive until they turn 27, after which date they must purchase their own car. If you already have a car, you can keep yours (not really). If you don't want or don't need a car, you are required to buy one anyhow. If you refuse to buy one or can't afford one, you will be regularly fined $800 until you purchase one, or face imprisonment. If you cannot (or don't want to) purchase an 'affordable car' from a private business, you can buy a starter car from the U. S. government 'affordable car exchange.' Such a car will have the basic necessities and will only cost 'slightly more' than a similar car purchased from a private business. Plus, since your tax dollars will subsidize the purchase of a car from the U. S. government's 'affordable car exchange,' it will appear that you are getting a good deal. Failure to use the car will also result in fines. People living in areas with no access to roads are not exempt. Pre-existing conditions such as age, motion sickness, experience, knowledge, nor lack of desire are not acceptable excuses for not using your car. A government review board will decide everything, including when, where, how often, and for what purposes you can use your car, along with how many people can ride in your car. The board will also determine if one is too old or healthy enough to be able to use their car, and will also decide if your car has out lived its usefulness or if you must purchase specific accessories like spinning rims or a newer and more expensive car. Those that can afford luxury cars will be required to do so ... it's only fair. The government will also decide the color for each car. Failure to comply with these rules will result in fines and possible imprisonment. Government officials are exempt from this new law. If they want a car, they and their families can obtain cars free at the expense of tax payers. This includes lifetime maintenance and automatic adjustments for fuel charges. Unions, bankers, and mega companies with large political affiliations ($$$), Muslims and Amish are also exempt.
