Is pelousy perpetually smiling, or what? I guess thats what happens when one is lobotomized and receives massive doses of Botox. That disgusting creature's party is spiraling towards disaster, and pelousycare is going to parallel the largest piece of crap to be shat out of Washington next to chairman maobama, of course; I suppose that is reason to smile for some. Hmm, I guess I just answered my own question.

So much Obama damage control that David Axelrod even talks to Fox News
Where to start on this one?

Actually, obamasux, I think she always has that weird-ass smile from gawd-knows how many facelifts. Sort of like a facial version of priapism.
One more, and she'll have a goatee.

Obama Embraces AARP's Support for House Health Bill
AARP must be supporting it because of those death panels. Yea. You see, they want some fresher, younger blood.

The AARP AND the AMA are back to supporting the healthcare disasters. Guess they've got too many members again...
B O T O X - the perpetually smiling SanFran Nan. Just another way for the Democrats to be effortlessly FAKE. Even OLD Hippies are lazy.

RINOFREUDE:
There it is, I’ve put it in text. Rush tried to when he spoke of hoping Obama fails. He was not using his audience to plant roots for creating a movement to take America back from the Fascists. I don’t have that fear.
I hope the RINO’s fail in being elected, or re-elected over truly conservative people who need no help from the RNC (Republican Neutral Commitment) to advance the values and faiths of true American Patriot Citizens, harking back to the actions and the foresight of the formers of the Constitution of the United States of America.
In no particular order: (and not listing every worthless crap-eater-go-along who gets RNC funds)
Colin Powell = RINOFREUDE! for supporting Obama pre-election.
Arnold Schwarzenegger = RINOFREUDE! for not being that guy he played in Commando.
Olympia Snowe = RINOFREUDE! For selling out for no reason. (this reason is rampant among RINO’s)
Newt = RINOFREUDE! For following the RNC creed no matter the cost.
Lindsey, McLame and daughter, Charlie Crist (FL), Collins (ME), Shays (CN), Pataki (NY, credit for supporting Hoffman), Boehlert (NY), Romney (MA), Castle (DE), Leach(IA) = RINOFREUDE! All need tossed out, the list is nearly endless. RINOFREUDE!
RINOFREUDE, like schadenfreude is the malicious or smug pleasure of the misfortune of another, in this case eliminate all RINO’s, and have no mercy, THEY DO NOT SPEAK FOR US!

Cronyism in H1N1 vaccine distribution results in easy access for Wall Street
....but the moonbats assure us that there will be no influence-peddling in statist medicine.
If Stalinized medicine is allowed to pass, you better hope that your grandparents don't come in front of a politically collected utilization board. If the state seizes control of medicine, those without connections will have to fight to be part of an ever-shrinking quota of allowed care.

That, plus I bet a lot of us will "go Galt" with healthcare too, like treating themselves via natural remedies and preventive healthcare (exercise, eating better, etc).
I would even be willing to bet that actual educated, licensed healthcare providers will start up cottage industries from their homes to provide primary care on their own terms...sorta like the homeschoolers do who are fed up with the public schools Democratic indoctrination centers.
But hey, healthier citizens taking responsibility for their own care could be a good thing...less CITIZENS using state-run medical services, more room for ILLEGALS using it on our dime; right Comrade O and Nazi Pelosi?

Under the statist system, you can't go Galt with health care.
Going Galt implies removing yourself from a corrupt system so that you no longer suffer from it nor pay to preserve it.
Under the statist system, you will be forced to pay into the system with your income taxes (since the premiums aren't deficit-neutral), then you pay again either with your premium or with the fine for not having care.
Then, to get your own care, you have to pay yet again for the care the government system wouldn't provide.
I'm all for shrugging against PelosiCare. If you happen to know of a secluded valley where I can move, that happens to be full of conservatives, and where I don't have to pay taxes to corrupt Beltway bureaucrats, I would love to know.
This is based on the same reason why the liberals love to grow the size of the Federal government. Liberty lovers can easily move out of blue states, but avoiding the Federal corruption machine requires emigrating altogether.
Until liberty can reign again in DC, we have to do the best with the system we have. Use every tax loophole to legally exempt income.
Also, pay attention to the most overlooked theme from Atlas; namely, the rejection of consumerism. If you truly want to stop propping up a failed welfare state, you have to break your addiction to material comforts, since the government always gets a piece of your spending, and the value generated by your spending down the line. You can't go Galt as long as you are servicing an irrational addiction to big houses, nice cars, and the latest electronics.

moonbat retired veteran who loves Obama and free healthcaremeWelcome to free enterprise. You get to sell yourself to the highest bidder and dance to his tune.moonbat retired veteran who loves Obama and free healthcareIt's really easy to throw around sentiments like that when you're not the one put out into the street and being forced to spend more money you don't have (or worse, go even further into debt) on the nebulous concept of "education" only to live in constant fear of it all happening over and over. Sounds like "let them eat cake" every time I hear it regardless of whether it's some random leftist or a slavedriver pretending to be a businessman.
Some industries will come back slow or not at all and some workers will have to retrain.
And this is what's wrong with America.
This asshole has no concern whatsoever for hard-working Americans displaced (put out in the street) by Chinese slaves but just can't wait to give Mexican invaders free healthcare paid for by someone else's money at gunpoint in the name of compassion.
I cannot fathom how fucking stupid some people must be to clamor for this handout or that benefit all while ignoring the giant sucking sound being made by a river of jobs flowing right out of the country forever.

Maine, SEIU, and Bob Casey
The great state of Maine made a collective decision on Tuesday to buck the trend of its New England neighbors and to effectively make an announcement to its resident and non-resident homosexuals.
The Pine Tree State announced that it doesn’t necessarily condemn their lifestyle but it emphatically rejects their agitation for state-approval of what Christians call Holy Matrimony.
The vote to overturn the state legislature’s bid to extend Maine’s imprimatur to gay marriage stood at 53-47% at last count adding Maine to the 30 other states which have voted against same-sex weddings.
By judicial fiat, in five New England states plus Iowa such marriages have been legalized.
That vote is only relatively newsworthy compared to the reactions of one prominent homosexual.
According to the Bangor, ME Daily News, Jesse Connolly ”pledged” after their defeat “In a defiant speech to several hundred lingering supporters, . . . that his side ‘will not quit until we know where every single one of these votes lives.’ “ (http://bit.ly/3FgU4K)
For some reason, that threat was omitted in most other mainstream news reports.
Just why Connolly is so committed to learning the addresses of “these votes” is unclear but it sure smacks of an effort at intimidation against those who voted to oppose gay marriage.
Could Connolly and fellow gays be planning to attack their opponents with their purses and feather boas?
Next, and lest we disregard the dedication and vicious nature of Obama supporters such as the Service Employees International Union, SEIU, take a look at this reaction to a rara avis, that rare bird, a conservative African-American.
Kenneth Gladney had come to demonstrate his rights to free speech at Rep. Russ McClanahan’s town hall meeting by distributing free “Don’t Tread on Me” flags when he was attacked by SEIU thugs.
“Gladney said he was giving out the “Don’t Tread on Me” flags when someone walked up to him and asked, ‘Who in the (expletive) is selling this (expletive) here?’
“Gladney said he asked him if he wanted one of his flags, and the man (who was also black) asked Gladney, “What kind of n_____ are you to be giving out this kind of stuff?” (http://bit.ly/367DJ5)
One of those arrested in the unprovoked August assault on Gladney was Elston K. McCowan, Baptist minister, community organizer, former local SEIU director, and Green Party candidate for the mayoralty of St. Louis who had accused the mayor of racism: http://bit.ly/2fyUx4.
