The DSCC Tries To Escape the Bitter Taste of TEA

DemocratDonkeyWe know that the uACA (That’s unAffordable Care Act) has already forced millions of jobs out of existence.  With employment suffering from ObamaCare and the looming shadow of the return of the bride of the business mandate portion of the ACA next year, millions more jobs will be erased by Democrat policy.  So what does the  DSCC rapid response team do?  They ask their base to push for a job killing national minimum wage increase in the Senate.

Friend — This is important: Senate Democrats are working on a plan to stimulate the economy by raising the minimum wage.

But even though it will help lift millions of workers out of poverty, Tea Party Republicans in the House are already threatening to block this critical legislation.

Increased Medicare Spending Does NOT Reduce Overall Health Care Costs

It is not about state spending, Healthy states are about libertyAs Democrats push for Medicaid Expansion in New Hampsshire, and Republicans attempt to formulate their own method for doing the same, keep this in mind…  (Expansion killing Graph on the jump.)

From IJR..

The Leftist theory that adding uninsured onto a government health care plan will cause them to seek preventative care vs. the higher cost emergency room care is great in theory, but that theory falls apart in the real world.

Adding around 400,000 (and a lot more in the future) people to Medicaid will NOT reduce the US health care costs and that is easily proven with historical data.

The Indoctrination Of Academia And Another Poignant Reminder

“The very power of [textbook writers] depends on the fact that they are dealing with a boy: a boy who thinks he is ‘doing’ his ‘English prep’ and has no notion that ethics, theology, and politics are all at stake. It is not a theory they put into his mind, but an assumption, which ten years hence, its origin forgotten and its presence unconscious, will condition him to take one side in a controversy which he has never recognized as a controversy at all.” ? C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man

111513_GonzagaEducational Corruption abounds. Ergo, Gonzaga University in Spokane Washington. What is Gonzaga University? A visit to Gonzaga’s website reveals a college like so many others, wrapped in themes of tolerance and diversity…in other words, its the same as any other…Liberal and left-wing, progressive, long ago abandoning its Roman Catholic Jesuit roots.

Quote of the Day- Mark Steyn on Obama’s “Apology”

From Hugh Hewitt’s radio show this passed week. “Well, thanks a lot genius. Maybe you should have looked into that before a guy who has never done anything in his life — never run a convenience store — decides he has the awesome super powers to governmentalize one-sixth of the economy. Thanks for finally figuring … Read more

Conservative’s Beef w/Establishment GOP is NOT Over Tactics

Since just before the HealthCare.gov faceplanted just out of the starting gate, there’s been an on-going debate about the split or supposed split in the GOP, where you have the TEA Party or “hard line conservatives” on one side and the establishment or moderates on the other (for clarity, I’ll lump these two latter groups in the “establishment” bucket for this post). The argument whirling around the blogosphere and media punditry claims the chasm is exaggerated and that the factions are closer than is reported. The reason, some say, is that core principles are shared between the two groups and that they simply disagree on tactics and strategy.

That may well be so for some, but not for me.

As the cliche goes, there’s something rancid in the deviled eggs…or something with a devil.  There’s something treacherous and gut churning that lurks amongst the wispy curls of the establishment’s black and sordid rhetoric that forces the bowels of the naive and the hopeful to evacuate involuntarily and in an untimely manner after witnessing another beat down the conservatives take after ingesting establishment promises.  (See that’s where the rancid deviled eggs come in– whew, I’m surprised I got that to work!)

The chasm does indeed exist. And at its core, for me, is trust and tangible results. Tactics be damned.

RAAAACISTS: Carol Shea-Porter and Jeanne Shaheen. They hate little kids & puppies too

After all, led by those that were once vociferously FOR Obamacare (and if not vociferous, certainly smarmy Schoolmarmish in the case of one of them), those Democrat women are now AGAINST it (funny, neither of look or sound like “Lurch” Kerry even after he’s plumped up his facial features).  And in opposing Obamacare for the BEST of reasons (er, protecting their Collective Democrat backsides), aren’t they continuing the #WarOnWomen – denying them their contraceptives for reasons Grokster Steve pointed out oh so very well:

What do you call it when you exchange women and sex for money?  ObamaCare!

Guy in an Obama or SEIU shirt walks up to you on the street.  “Hey man.  You interested in a woman who signed up for ObamaCare?  She’s got her free birth control?”

Seriously, I cannot believe how fast Obamacare is dying politically.  Ted Cruz and Mike Lee and other conservatives risked their careers in doing the right thing in trying to see it defunded and Democrats were howling about how they wanted to wreck death and destruction and now?  Now Democrats like the NH Dem Female Trio (let’s not forget uber-Progressive Annie Kuster) are running just as fast or faster to put in measures that will keep putting off the Obamacare from being further implemented.  Cruz wanted to defund it – against all odds and the odds won. But now??

There is no return from this exit..

‘But Democrats said the cost of the program should not be the measure’s only criteria, noting expansion will help hard-working families who cannot afford health care.‘

On the Left No Point Of Reference But Prejudice

fish out of waterThe left, particularly the far left, knows nothing about Conservatives because most of them do not know any. None of their friends, none of the people they work with, no one they hang out with or talk to, is anything but an ideological duplicate of themselves. Yes, they might mingle with people on the right, but the correct terms for that are troll, tracker, and stalker.

As evidence of this, let me offer an example.

Principle or payola?

The NH GOP platform says “Oppose the implementation of ObamaCare in New Hampshire” The Medicaid website says  ”The Affordable Care Act actually refers to two separate pieces of legislation — the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (P.L. 111-148) and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (P.L. 111-152) — that, together expand … Read more

Notable Quote – Vaclav Havel

“Because the regime is captive to its own lies, it must falsify everything. It falsifies the past. It falsifies the present,and it falsifies the future. It falsifies statistics … It pretends to fear nothing. It pretends to pretend nothing.” – 1979 H/T Ol’ Remus via Jim Rawles  

Merrimack County Republican Committee – My ‘discussion’ Part 4: “The Philosophies”

Reminder: “So, I help to elect Democrats, eh?” (thank you, Mark Sanborn).  To recap:

WHY IS THE GOP / NH GOP IN TROUBLE?

Let’s get to the Nitty Gritty of this “discussion”: There is a tremendous split in the Republican Party – and especially in the NH GOP. And for three extremely binary reason – each this or that and never the twain they’ll meet.

1. Don’t Talk About it

2. Two Types of Republicans

So I rolled into those ‘two” philosophies:

3. Two sets of Political Philosophy (or Three – the clueless)

Why?  The core problem.  We’re about to go deep here.

What are the philosophies of each of those two groups?

There are two countervaling philosophies at play here, at the voting level and at the basic philosophy level and with neither, there is no coming together – they are orthagonal in nature and there is no “uniting” at all:

To the first, voting level – a split in attitude of High vs Low (like churches):

Granite State Progress And The Objectification of Women

got insurance?

ProgressNow (Minnesota Based), the self-admitted progressive (see also socialist) political action group in America (see also left-wing non-profit), whose goal is to advance the Progressive (see also socialist) agenda in every state they put their big progressive toe in,  is the ATM behind Out of state based GraniteState Progress in New Hampshire.

ProgressNow is also the ATM behind ProgressNow Colorado, which recently released this ad in support of ObamaCare.

The new ad shows a woman holding a packet of birth control pills, while a suave-looking young man stands next to her with his arm around her waist. 

The caption reads: “OMG, he’s hot! Let’s hope he’s as easy to get as this birth control. My health insurance covers the pill, which means all I have to worry about is getting him between the covers.”

Are all Democrat women sex-starved creatures desperate to acquire satisfaction?  Have you considered having sex with a Conservative?   You know, a real man?
