The Big Money Behind ObamaCare

Stolen directly from Dad29:

Ms. Coakley is running for US Senate in Massachusetts and since she's a (D) this should be a cakewalk.

Well, it ain't a cakewalk. Coakley is as dumb as a box of rocks; the (R) candidate is polling extremely well.

So it's time for a money-bomb for Coakley.

Sponsors?

All the leading drug companies have lobbyists on Coakley’s host committee: Pfizer, Merck, Amgen, Sanofi-Aventis, Eli Lilly, Novartis, Astra-Zeneca, and more. On the insurance side of things, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, HealthSouth, and United Health all are represented on the host committee

Those are the entities who are FOR ObamaCare, not against it, folks.

And I vaguely recall Obama's campaign propaganda about what side the insurance and pharma companies were on...

Yes, I am a soothsayer.


Long lines for pay checks?
Potential riots?
Added police force with barricades?
Angry mobs of people wanting their money?
Politician not paying out what was promised?
Bureaucratic complacency?
Confusion?
Frustration?
The list goes on...

Are the Citizens of the United States going CRAZY?!?

We're just a few weeks away from potentially electing a man that:

  1. Hasn't been in political office for more than 10 years.
  2. Worked closely with a terrorist for over 4 years.
  3. Associated for over 20 years with an anti-US "pastor" that wed him and baptized his children.
  4. Voted against banning infanticide more than once.
  5. Will have direct talks with the highest leaders of anti-American countries.
  6. Refused to vote on major issues over 129 times.
  7. Has the most liberal voting record in the US Senate (with his running mate at a close 3rd).
  8. Has a voting record that supports police raids on homes with weapons and banning the sale of all firearms.
  9. Worked directly with ACORN - the non-profit group that is currently being investigated by the FBI for voter fraud.
  10. Collected more money in less time than any other senator from both Fannie and Freddie - the two companies that are dual handedly destroying our economy.
Seriously? WTF.

One word about Palin

I'm normally not this crude at all. As a matter of fact, this is a really poor reflection of myself - but I have to say it:

Sarah Palin is a VPILF.

Also, her speech was out of control. She is what America wants and needs. The name Reagan is thrown around loosely but in this case, it's perfectly acceptable.

McCain has Done It!

I'm truly energized about this pick. 

McCain has literally done an about-face with me (and I'm sure many others). After his choice of Palin, I now want to both take part and support his bid for the presidency. Originally I had the intentions of passively supporting the republican ticket but now, I'm volunteering my services. Well done McCain. 

My favorite AP quote to date: "At 44, she is younger than two of McCain's seven children."



BTW, does anyone else find her to be very attractive?

Assassination Plot or...?

I don't know how I feel about this article. It just doesn't seem to add up. The chronological events don't seem right... the compliance by the accused seems too easy... the fact that the press is already talking with the "perps"... parading around an ongoing investigation... everything just seems off:

Plot to Kill Obama: Shoot From High Vantage Point

Written by Brian Maass and cbs4denver.com staff

 Section: Democratic National Convention Section

DENVER (CBS4/AP) ―

Denver's U.S. attorney is expected to speak on Tuesday afternoon about the arrests of four people suspected in a possible plot to shoot Barack Obama at his Thursday night acceptance speech in Denver. All are being held on either drug or weapons charges. 

One of those suspects spoke exclusively to CBS4 investigative reporter Brian Maass from inside the Denver City Jail late Monday night and said his friends had discussed killing Obama. 

"So your friends were saying threatening things about Obama?" Maass asked. 

"Yeah," Nathan Johnson replied. 

"It sounded like they didn't want him to be president?" 

"Yeah," Johnson said. 

Maass reported earlier Monday that one of the suspects told authorities they were "going to shoot Obama from a high vantage point using a ... rifle ... sighted at 750 yards." 

Law enforcement sources told Maass that one of the suspects "was directly asked if they had come to Denver to kill Obama. He responded in the affirmative." 

I don't know what about the story is wrong but something seems fishy. Yes, I'm just thinking out-loud and I do take any attempt at another's life as serious but something about this case...

Change we can believe in?

This appeared on the Editorial Page of the Richmond Times-Dispatch July 7, 2008. If you think it is appropriate for the times, pass it on. 
Editor 
Times-Dispatch 
Each year I get to celebrate Independence Day twice. On June 30, I celebrate my independence day and on July 4, I celebrate America's. This year is special because it marks the 40th anniversary of my independence. 
On June 30, 1968, I escaped Communist Cuba and a few months later, I was in the United States to stay. That I happened to arrive in Richmond on Thanksgiving Day is just part of the story, but I digress. 
I've thought a lot about the anniversary this year. The election-year rhetoric has made me think a lot about Cuba and what transpired there. In the late 1950's, most Cubans thought Cuba needed a change, and they were right. So when a young leader came along, every Cuban was at least receptive. 
When the young leader spoke eloquently and passionately and denounced the old system, the press fell in love with him. They never questioned who his friends were or what he really believed in. When he said he would help the farmers and the poor and bring free medical care and education to all, everyone followed. When he said he would bring justice and equality to all, everyone said 'Praise the Lord.' And when the young leader said, 'I will be for change and I'll bring you change, everyone yelled, 'Viva Fidel!' 
But nobody asked about the change, so by the time the executioner's guns went silent, the people's guns had been taken away. By the time everyone was equal, they were equally poor, hungry, and oppressed. By the time everyone received their free education, it was worth nothing. By the time the press noticed, it was too late, because they were now working for him. By the time the change was finally implemented, Cuba had been knocked down a couple of notches to Third-World status. By the time the change was over, more than a million people had taken to boats, rafts, and inner tubes. You can call those who made it ashore anywhere else in the world most fortunate Cubans. And now I'm back to the beginning of my story. 
Luckily, we would never fall in America for a left-leaning young leader who promises change without asking, 'What change? How will you carry it out? What will it cost America?' 
Would we?

Obamessiah

This guy hits it square on the head:

The anointed one's pilgrimage to the Holy Land is a miracle in action - and a blessing to all his faithful followers
Gerard Baker 
And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the wilderness. 
The Child was blessed in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family, offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a typical white person and an African peasant. And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed and a little blow. 
When he was twelve years old, they found him in the temple in the City of Chicago, arguing the finer points of community organisation with the Prophet Jeremiah and the Elders. And the Elders were astonished at what they heard and said among themselves: “Verily, who is this Child that he opens our hearts and minds to the audacity of hope?” 
More at the link. Funny stuff through the entire piece.

OBAMA - 'American flag no more!'

Barrack Obama's campaign plane will not have an American flag displayed anymore. There were recent renovations which included the removal of the American flag....

Candidate's trademark 'O' replaces stars and stripes

As part of a month-long aircraft makeover, a painted American flag was removed from the tail of Sen. Barack Obama's official campaign airplane and was replaced with the presidential candidate's trademark "O" symbol.

The refurbished 757 was unveiled to members of the news media today, 41 of whom boarded the craft and took off to meet Obama in Amman, Jordan, where the presidential candidate will stop as part of a Middle Eastern and European tour.

Obama traveled to the Mideast earlier this week on board a separate airplane.

Fox News blogger Bonny Kapp, traveling on Obama's new airplane, reported:

"The North American jet that flew Obama and his traveling crew around for much of the primary season was refurbished with new seats and power for each passenger a must on the campaign trail. And the plane that once had an American flag on its tail now sports the Obama 'O.'"

Obama's 'O' symbol is red, white and blue.

Most official U.S. government aircraft, including Air Force One, have U.S. flags on their tails.

Both Fox News and the Chicago Sun-Times posted pictures of the Obama campaign's redressed airplane, which does not have an American flag or any other U.S. national symbols on the section that sports the airplane door from which Obama and his team will enter and exit.

The airplane boasts Obama's anthem, "Change We Can Believe In" and the candidate’s website address.

The aircraft also has required identification numbers and a U.S. flag to identify the nationality of the aircraft.

According to Chicago Sun-Times reporter Lynn Sweet, the refurbished Obama aircraft features a "first class" section for the candidate and his closest advisors; several "business class" seats, and a large coach section, usually meant for the traveling press corps.

Sweet reported fruit and cheese platters greeted reporters on board the flight. Dinner options offered were beef medallions, baked tilapia or eggplant parmesan.

She wrote the Obama campaign provided overnight kits for the flight that include toothbrush, mouthwash, socks, Neutrogena body lotion and lip moisturizer, Scope mouthwash, ear plugs and a blindfold for sleeping.
