50 + 1 Votes = Change You Can Believe In.

Hard Rain Episode-0041 "50 + 1 Votes = Change You Can Believe In."

Obama on passing bills with 50 + 1 votes then and now.

Obama uses Doctors as props yet again in his latest TV appearance to push the latest version of Health Care.

In his latest proposal Obama claims to be incorporating four Republican ideas (which didn't exist as recently as last week.) Here's the ideas and my deconstruction of them

  1. Combating Waste, Fraud, and Abuse. - So Democrats must have been for waste, fraud, and abuse or at least against combating it.
  2. Medical Malpractice Reform. - $50 Million (or $1 Million per state) to explore alternatives to court. Here's one. Not suing because tort reform has made it unlikely you can prove your BS case in court.
  3. Medicaid Reimbursements. - Actually paying a doctor for the work they do.
  4. Health Care Exchange Plans. - Letting private companies sell the product they want to customers who want to buy them.

Co-pays are one of the worst things to happen to Health Care in this country.

Are Pro-life Democrats the only hope for blocking health care bill? 

Democrats will never stop pushing for the government to run the health care system in America. It literally turns independent people into dependent people. And dependent people help make up a group Democrats call, the base.

Al Gore reappears, downplays Climategate, and reads a little poetry. Sounds like someone is a fan of a certain conservative talk shows podcast.

Baby survives being shot and left alone for three days by her parents in a suicide pact over fears of global warming.

Space shuttle may not be grounded after all.

Sen. Jim Bunning tries in vain to make Democrats actually pay for the bills they want to pass, under the rules that they passed.

Israeli soldier reveals plans for an upcoming raid on his facebook page.

Some of the money raised by Live Aid in 1984 to combat starvation in Africa, has been shown to have made it's way into the hands of Ethiopian Anti-Government Rebels including the current Prime Minister.

Kid Air Traffic Controller sparks outrage. I think its much ado about nothing. There was never any danger to anyone at anytime.

In spite of Obama's promise to stop raiding medical marijuana dispensaries 21 were just raided in California. I predict this will only enhance support for and awareness of the proposition to legalize marijuana outright in some quantity in California.

Insurance company in California now covering medical marijuana.

Louis Farrakhan warns Obama of the "White Right" also he claims to be divine.

Obama's doctors urge him to quit smoking. Let the man have a cigarette. Even though I disagree with Obama on most issues I don't envy the job he has. He's got a lot of stress. Let him have a cigarette.

American reliance on governments is at an all time high. Americans collected more in benefits than they pain in taxes for the first time since the Great Depression. There are officially more people in the cart, than pulling the cart.

Welcome Back My Friends, To The Show That Never Ends.

Hard Rain Episode-0040 Welcome Back My Friends, To The Show That Never Ends.

The pointless waste of time known as the Health Care Summit kicks off with Congressman Rob Andrews (D-NJ) talking BS about women being kicked out of hospitals after having c-sections. Republicans of course support kicking women out of hospitals, right? We're Republicans. So do it. Do the mean thing, do it meanly, cause I'm a Republican.

Every Democrat has some sad sack story about somebody with health care problems.

Obama monopolizes the speaking time but says his time doesn't count because he's the president. Jerk.

Regardless of what happens Democrats plan to cram some thing through. They are even threatening to use reconciliation in the Senate. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid recently said Republicans should, "stop crying," about reconciliation. We take a look back at what Democrats had to say about Republican attempts to use reconciliation. It's quite a bit different than, "stop crying."

The media is trying to divide and conquer in light of Scott Brown's vote for Obama's jobs package. I have no problem with Senator Brown's vote and haven't heard any real complaints about it. I've only heard media reports of complaints about it. Divide and Conquer.

Ron Paul wins the straw poll for President at CPAC. Congrats.

Harry Reid says, "Men, when they're out of work, tend to become abusive." 

ACORN reports it has 'dissolved as a national structure.' The only thing changing is the name.

Bikini Barista's at a coffee shop in the state of Washington angering some local residents.

Schwarzenegger criticizing Republicans over stimulus money. I guess we should only pay the bills for Obama's insane spending. No benefits.
