Another “No, you Can’t Keep Your Plan” story–once again demonstrating who is Right and who is….left on a hook by the Democrats.  Not to worry lefty warriors, she’s just pregnant and been forced to go shopping for a new plan.

Party of Change?  I get it now.   Democrat: “Guess we lied– You’ll have to Change your plan after all.”

Fullerton resident Jennifer Harris thought she had a great deal, paying $98 a month for an individual plan through Health Net Inc. She got a rude surprise this month when the company said it would cancel her policy at the end of this year. Her current plan does not conform with the new federal rules, which require more generous levels of coverage.

Earlier today I received an interactive phone poll from Norwalk, IA and it was clear that somebody was polling for the upcoming Congressional Republican primary race here in CD-1. All the regular blather of “if you feel strongly about this issue, press 1….” and the like.  Most of us have hung up on these kinds of things, especially near the END of the race (even we political junkies have a breaking point).  This one, however, I took to the end and found one thing kinda strange.

It was clear that the two announced candidates were part of this – and one “rumored” one:

1. Frank Guinta
2. Dan Innis
3. Jeff Chidester.

I can see the first two, but who (heh!) would be looking to ascertain Jeff’s strength in the race?  Either of the first two to see if Jeff is a credible risk (if so, make sure that they pronounce Jeff’s last name correctly)?  Now add this:

A “fundamental transformation”, he said.  Determined Weakness, he “policied”.  Free rides, he decreed.  Now, more people are in the National Cart than there are pulling or pulling:

Census Bureau: Means-Tested Gov’t Benefit Recipients Outnumber Full-Time Year-Round Workers

Daniel Greenfield over at Frontpage Mag has his take on what ails the GOP.  Like Steve, like me, he sees what’s wrong and the inertia that stands in the way to start winning again.  A few excerpts (emphasis mine):

If you don’t fight, you can’t win. That’s what the Party of Lincoln, a party that tested its mettle in a devastating national conflict, has forgotten. Instead it has become a party of good losers who would rather lose easy than fight hard.

The Republican Party.  Its genesis was in taking on the mantle of Abolition – the task of eliminating slavery.  A long fight.  A bloody fight.  A fight that tore the country apart.  But a fight it willingly took on for the end was a most precious thing – Freedom.  Now?  It seems that the conviction to do the hard things, to achieve that Freedom goal again, has gone limp.  Why?  Spirit – or the lack thereof.  That ‘fire in the belly” – has it been replaced by complacency or hubris?  Or both?

The GOP would like to win without fighting. It wants to wait for the voters to come around and recognize that it’s the better choice because it compromises.

Democrat Care is so good…Even Doctors are losing their coverage…

Obamacare, aka the Affordable Care Act, came packaged with lofty promises. President Obama said his law was supposed to make denials of insurance based on pre-existing conditions a thing of the past. President Obama specifically promised that Americans would no longer be denied coverage based on pre-existing conditions, along with promising that if we like our doctors and current health care plans, we can keep them.

So imagine Dr. Carpenter’s shock when he received the news that he and his family were losing their health insurance at the end of this year.

It was only a matter of time after the hysterically botched launch of healthcare.gov that the repugnant stench of crony capitalism would seep through the cork and its putrescence would pall over the nation like a smog of rotting fish shrouding commuters on a crisp afternoon in Beijing.

A stench so steamy and acrid that not even the flatulent filtering underwear can withstand the load– and that’s saying something because these undies are made to withstand chemical warfare!

It turns out Michelle Obama, the First Lady who finally became proud of her country only after her husband decided to run for President, seems to have played a part in the picking and choosing of the company that was to detonate the most spectacular display of government incompetence I think I’ve ever seen.  It had the President doing infomercials it was so magnificently egregious.  A case study for what not to do. We need more of these to prove the point for limited government… anyway..

From TheDC:

First Lady Michelle Obama’s Princeton classmate is a top executive at the company that earned the contract to build the failed Obamacare website.

Anyone with even a basic understanding of markets could tell you that a regulatory/government monopoly on health insurance was guaranteed to do exactly the opposite of what Democrats promised (lied) when trying to push ObamaCare on America.

Here’s the most famous promise (pair of promises), from King Obama himself.

Democrats will say anything to advance their agenda.
