The House is set to vote to defund FHer-care.
This is a pretty dramatic reversal of position for the leadership. That means that it makes a difference when freedom-cherishing citizens melt the phones, attend rallies, write columns, blog, get the facts out and go see legislators when they come back to their districts.
You never let up in the war for America's soul.
Wish we'd had such rabid obstructionism during Ronnie's reign. Then perhaps the Drug War would have ended instead of becoming intensified to include urine testing and property seizure. How can you call him a Freedom Lover? P.S. Countries do not have a soul.
ReplyDelete"I was in Bill Clinton’s cabinet when Newt Gingrich and his earlier band of extremists pulled this stunt the first time. It cost Republicans the White House in 1996 and ended Gingrich’s reign. The American public doesn’t want politicians using the government of the United States as a pawn to get what they want. The Affordable Care Act was duly enacted by both houses of Congress and signed by the President. The Supreme Court upheld its constitutionality. A shutdown over repealing it will cost Republicans the House in 2014. Mark my words."
ReplyDeleteFrom Robert Reich's facebook post this morning.
Reich is being disingenuous. He knows full well that our washed up Reasonable Gentleman candidate lost 96 for us.
ReplyDeleteLook, have panel-discussion public policy TV shows, talk-radio shows, or op-ed pages of newspapers ever, going back to Dutch's time, ever put much emphasis on drug policy? Has it ever had the prominence of foreign-policy, economic-policy, or even overall cultural-policy issues of any given moment in the last 30 years? It is just plain not as big a deal. Historians may disparage Dutch if they're lefties, or praise him if they're righties, but they rarely, except as perhaps a footnote, put much focus on his drug policy.
Well I think millions of Americans imprisoned and billions of dollars of private property seized in the interest of ridding our country and others of drugs (quite the catch-all category to begin with) is a big deal and it deals with freedom. As for your last ditch efforts to ditch Obamacare, this citizen has made plans based upon the law. Besides, only 5% of businesses are even effected by it. Your side is way out of line here. As Reid says, whatever the House does will never pass the Senate. Deal with it!
ReplyDeleteUh-uh. Just about to post on that. Stay tuned.
