Ben Smith at Politico: DNC attacks Palin 'lies'
The Democratic National Committee, keeping up its drumbeat of harsh new-media campaigns against GOP leaders, is rallying Democrats to attack Sarah Palin where she communicates -- on Facebook.
In an email to its list (after the jump) and a web page, the committee is pushing supporters to go after Palin on the social media site for alleged "lies" that range from her claim that disabled people will have to stand before "death panels" -- widely viewed as outlandish -- to the more arguable claim (the DNC calls it a "myth") that a public option "will crowd out private insurers."
"A lot of folks use Facebook to stay in touch with friends and family. For Sarah Palin, it's a great way to spread lies about health insurance reform," writes DNC executive director Jen O'Malley Dillon in the email.

CBO analysis murky
ReplyDeleteThe CBO says that the bill will spend a little more than $1 trillion on subsidies, small business tax credits, Medicaid and children's health care. CBO then offsets some of those costs with $167 billion in penalties paid by employers and individuals, presumably for not carrying insurance.
In other words government is going to have a financial incentive to penalize as many people as possible.
I'm gonna' kick that cat yowling in the alley.

Here's a great clip from the British series "Coupling", which was the original inspiration for the US series "Friends".
ReplyDeleteOne of the liberal characters starts defending her beliefs and talking about the "coming revolution", when her friends point out an inconvenient fact...
After 65 years, fallen U.S. airman coming home
ReplyDeleteHIGHLAND, Calif. (AP) - For two decades after her son's bomber went down in the Pacific Ocean during World War II, Vella Stinson faithfully wrote the U.S. government twice a month to ask if his body had been found - or if anyone was looking.
The mother of six strapping boys went to her grave without the answer that has finally reached her two surviving sons 65 years later: the remains of Sgt. Robert Stinson are coming home.
Military divers recovered several pieces of leg bone from the wreckage of a B-24J Liberator bomber found at the bottom of the ocean off the coast of the island nation of Palau. DNA testing showed the femur fragments belonged to the 24-year-old flight engineer who died in combat on Sept. 1, 1944.
Welcome home Sgt. Robert Stinson, welcome home.
So 1,990 pages of mush, unveiled and executed in secret, far from the public eye, hidden and cloaked from scrutiny vs. attacking Palin for raising uncomfortable questions, which you scurry to label lies before removing language.
ReplyDeleteYeah. DNC. Ya got nothin'

ReplyDelete"UFO Tofu, how big do you think the pin was? I mean, One nation under God is about the least militantly-religious phrase you can say. If he had a t-shirt that said "Jesus saves, ask me how" or something I can see it but that saying could be worn by a Christian, a Deist, a Jew, or even a patriotic Muslim (if you can find one)."

ReplyDeleteQuality and necessity of legislation is not always, but often, inversely proportional to its length.
ReplyDeleteThey could just shorten it to say: You are all, as of this date, slaves to the state.
ReplyDeleteThink of all the work they would have saved themselves.

(b) REQUIREMENTS FOR QUALIFIED HEALTH BENE- 23
FITS PLANS.—On or after the first day of Y1, a health benefits plan shall not be a qualified health benefits planunder this division unless the plan meets the applicable requirements of the following subtitles for the type of plan and plan year involved:

ReplyDeleteAll I saw was the House proposal includes a 5.4 percent surtax on individuals making more than $500,000 and couples earning more than $1 million, which would bring in an estimated $460 billion over 10 years to help pay for covering the uninsured.

Heh. And on the Pelosims (prior thread) one commenter named Rammey said (about the 1,990 page Health Care Bill Pelosi just rammed through the Democratic House):
ReplyDelete"Health care costs $8160 dollars per year for each man, woman and child. According to HHS, 48 million people in America do not have health care or health care coverage. So, multiply $8160 by 48 million and you get $391.6 billion dollars each year it would take to cover the 48 million. Now, multiply that by 10 years and you get $3.9 trillion for the same 48 million. Now, the government says the final bill must be deficit neutral and remain inside $1 trillion for 10 years. So, how do you take a hard number of $3.9 trillion and shave it to under $1 trillion without controlling prices, creating waiting lists and rationing health care? BTW, according to HHS, by 2018, the cost will rise to $13,100 per individual per year, or 1 in every 5 dollars spent on the economy.''
this doesn't faze them. vote them out of office is the only answer. they just don't get it. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Wonder how the Hollyweird Crowd is gonna react to that?

ReplyDeleteCouple weeks ago when a "agreement" was reached I said Iran would find a reason to reject it and drag out negotiations.
ReplyDeleteAll while the centrifuges spin and spin.
Iran apparently rejects central element of nuclear proposal
Iran on Thursday appeared to reject a key element of a U.N.-backed proposal aimed at quickly reducing its stockpile of enriched uranium, offering an informal, oral counter-offer that diplomats said fell far short of a tentative deal reached earlier this month.
Mohamed ElBaradei, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), told the Iranian ambassador to the U.N. agency that the Iranian counter-offer, as structured, would not be acceptable to Russia, France and the United States -- the other parties to the arrangement -- and urged him to get more clarification from his government. Diplomats said they hope a formal, written answer from Iran will be delivered as early as Friday.
I recall doing the U-238 --> U-235 centrifuge problem in a class.
Each centrifuges purifies the U-235 a miniscule amount, put a couple of thousand in series a small amount of bomb grade U-235 comes out. Over time that amount accumulates.
The the more time passes the more accumulates.
