» Posted By SallyT On June 28, 2012 @ 8:54 am AdLib, after reading those articles I gave you, I think they might not over turn it. They have outs for not even ruling on it now, since it hasn’t gone into effect and if they overturned this issue they will be opening up a lot more besides this issue. » Posted By SallyT On June 28, 2012 @ 1:34 am Patsy, you kept trying and you succeeded! Those videos are very interesting and also very alarming. I can see how some out there don’t want us watching these. Thank you for getting them on here, Patsy! » Posted By SallyT On June 28, 2012 @ 1:31 am Lets hope AdLib, that at least 5 of them see it as something they have, others should, too. http://www.scotusblog.com/2012/06/anticipating-the-health-care-decision-in-plain-english/ http://www.scotusblog.com/2012/06/health-care-time-to-sum-up/ http://www.scotusblog.com/2012/06/a-readers-guide-to-health-care-ruling/ » Posted By SallyT On June 28, 2012 @ 1:20 am [img]http://crooksandliars.com/files/vfs/2012/06/scotus-cartton-aca.jpeg[/img] » Posted By SallyT On June 28, 2012 @ 12:18 am Portland is God’s Country, CL. 😉 » Posted By SallyT On June 27, 2012 @ 9:32 pm [img]http://0.tqn.com/d/politicalhumor/1/7/e/_/4/Election-Fraud.jpg[/img] » Posted By SallyT On June 27, 2012 @ 8:18 pm [img]http://0.tqn.com/d/politicalhumor/1/7/p/_/4/Health-Care-Ruling.jpg[/img] » Posted By SallyT On June 27, 2012 @ 8:15 pm This is a lot of young people to throw under the bus, SCOTUS! And, it isn’t a school bus. It is a bus that suppose to travel the road of Justice For All. Are you thinking tonight, SCOTUS, of the “All” that your decision will affect? Seventy-Three Percent of American Youth Now Have Insurance Due to Health Care Law Let alone all these people you will send down the river: 32 million (and counting) Americans whose access to health insurance depends on the Supreme Court’s ruling http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2012/06/top3_obamacare.html » Posted By SallyT On June 27, 2012 @ 7:56 pm I saw that, too, Sue. Issa is ridiculous and I think he is going to look more ridiculous if this keeps going. I don’t know why any Democrat would want to be seen agreeing with this conspiracy. I like how in that article you posted how they (Issa and his people) that they have already proven the Forbes’ story false. Sure, that fast, huh? They never questioned any of those people under oath, like they should have, but they know they are lying. » Posted By SallyT On June 27, 2012 @ 7:45 pm Sue, it is such a stupid thing to vote against your own administration! This is not the boat to climb into with the Republicans. Its got holes in it and I hope it sinks to the bottom. » Posted By SallyT On June 27, 2012 @ 7:34 pm Okay, Sherlock, when things get down I’ll be there to say, “Hit her! Slap Weeza!” 🙂 » Posted By SallyT On June 27, 2012 @ 7:29 pm Right, Bito, the R’s have the vote, so, why do the Dems need to assist? I blame the Republican’s but they never were going to vote for anything I was wanting. It may be only a few Dems but they are voting against our administration and aiding in the false actions taken by the Republicans. No need for them to do it, so, shame on them! » Posted By SallyT On June 27, 2012 @ 7:11 pm I loved the movie Showboat! Ol’ man river. But my favorite part of that song, and my body can relate: » Posted By SallyT On June 27, 2012 @ 7:03 pm Better late than never. Too many things fall under the never. Those that rain on the parade, never see the roses growing on the lane. 🙂 » Posted By SallyT On June 27, 2012 @ 6:44 pm Bito, I have read that article and because of that it will be even worst if those Democrats vote to hold the Attorney General in contempt and he is taken in handcuffs to the jail that they have in the House for just that purpose. They should vote for proper justice and based on facts not because the NRA holds a check mark to apply against them should they vote different than they demand or how many in their district that lets the NRA think for them, too. » Posted By SallyT On June 27, 2012 @ 6:40 pm New York Attorney General Investigating US Chamber of Commerce, Other NonProfits For Laundering Contributions “This is huge, major, awesome news. Finally, finally, finally someone is investigating money-laundering nonprofit organizations like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, who recently admitted to funneling secret multi-million dollar contributions from AHIP to astroturf organizations in order to stoke hate for the Affordable Care Act.” “The investigation is also looking at connections between the chamber’s foundation, the National Chamber Foundation, and another philanthropy, the Starr Foundation, which made large grants to the chamber foundation in 2003 and 2004. During the same period, the National Chamber Foundation lent the chamber $18 million, most of it for what was described as a capital campaign.” http://crooksandliars.com/karoli/yes-new-york-attorney-general-investigating » Posted By SallyT On June 27, 2012 @ 6:16 pm [img]http://www.truthdig.com/images/cartoonuploads/Automatic-Pentagon-Cuts363.jpg[/img] » Posted By SallyT On June 27, 2012 @ 6:03 pm If they do: Shame on them!!!! (Do guns mark those boxes in the voting booth?) These 31 Democrats Could Join Republicans And Hold Attorney General Eric Holder In Contempt Tomorrow Issa based that theory off a letter he sent to President Barack Obama on June 3, 2011, signed by 31 Democrats — roughly one-sixth of the Democratic membership in the House. The letter was written by the Democrats to “express serious concerns about the Administration’s response” to what’s become known as the “Fast and Furious” scandal. So far, at least five Democrats have confirmed they’ll be supporting the contempt resolution: Reps. Nick Rahall (West Virginia), Collin Peterson (Minnesota) Jim Matheson (Utah), John Barrow (Georgia) and Mike McIntyre (North Carolina). Democratic Rep. Steny Hoyer, the Democratic House head counter, said there would be some in his party who supported the contempt resolution. “Utahns expect and deserve transparency and accountability from government officials, especially when a tragedy such as the death of a U.S. Border Patrol agent occurs,” Matheson said in a statement. “It just compounds the tragedy when both sides play politics instead of releasing the facts. The Terry family, the public and Congress deserve answers. Sadly, it seems that it will take holding the Attorney General in contempt to communicate that evasiveness is unacceptable. It is a vote I will support.” » Posted By SallyT On June 27, 2012 @ 6:00 pm But, AdLib, I thought the GOP thought we got too much for nothing? Oh yah, that is only when it comes to us under the New Deal. If the ACA is overturned the first thing you will see in about 6 mos (after the election) is insurance rates going sky high again. » Posted By SallyT On June 27, 2012 @ 5:50 pm [img]http://www.truthdig.com/images/eartothegrounduploads/lk062612dAPR-363.jpg[/img] » Posted By SallyT On June 26, 2012 @ 8:13 pm [img]http://www.truthdig.com/images/eartothegrounduploads/cbe0626cd-363.jpg[/img] » Posted By SallyT On June 26, 2012 @ 8:13 pm Dream on Fool!

Much of the cost burden will be shouldered by the health care industry and employers that provide workers with insurance. On an individual consumer level, however, it’ll be the wealthiest Americans that feel the sting of Obamacare––and, strangely enough, people who hit the tanning bed.
AdLib, I thought maybe you would like to read the following articles about the ACA/SCOTUS. I found them very informative and pretty easy to follow.

That ol’ man river.
He don’t say nothin’
But he must know somethin’
Cause he just keeps rollin’
He keeps rollin’ along.
Rollin’ along.
We sweat and strain.
Body all achin’
And wracked with pain.
Tote that barge.
Lift that bale.
Get a little drunk
And you land in jail.
I gets weary
Sick of tryin’
I’m tired of livin’
Feared of dyin’
But ol’ man river
He’s rollin’ along.
“We urge you to instruct the Department of Justice to promptly provide complete answers to all Congressional inquiries in this issue,” the letter reads.
QUESTIONER: Would that be something you would propose amongst your fellows there?
QUIST: I would not only propose it, I would argue it to the utmost of my ability and I would carry it like a banner to the American public.

TEXAS GOP PLATFORM CALLS FOR REPEALING VOTING RIGHTS ACT OF 1965 | The Republican Party of Texas released its platform this month, calling on Congress to repeal the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965. “We urge that the Voter [sic] Rights Act of 1965 codified and updated in 1973 be repealed and not reauthorized,” the platform reads. Texas is one of nine states with a history of racial discrimination that must get clearance from the Department of Justice before altering its voting laws.
