GOP Suppport for Full-Government Shut-Down to Block ObamaCare
— Ace

Well, let's see. It would be a popular move, it would constitute a constitutional pushback against Obama's Soviet power grab (asserting the power to suspend the law at will), and it could be effective.

Ego, it won't happen.

Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) said heÂ’s recruited more than a dozen Senate Republicans willing to shut down the government to prevent President ObamaÂ’s healthcare law from going into effect.

Lee said the Republicans would block a continuing resolution to fund the government beyond Sept. 30 if it includes funding for ObamaCare.

“This is the last stop before ObamaCare fully kicks in on Jan. 1 of next year for us to refuse to fund it,” Lee said Monday on “Fox and Friends.”

“Congress of course has to pass a law to continue funding government — lately we’ve been doing that through a funding mechanism known as a continuing resolution," he added. "If Republicans in both houses simply refuse to vote for any continuing resolution that contains further funding for further enforcement of ObamaCare, we can stop it. We can stop the individual mandate from going into effect.”

Lee said he has “13 or 14” Senate Republicans on his side, and that the “number is growing.”

There's a parallel movement in the House, which seems more important to me, given that no Republican action in the House automatically equals a defeat of the continuing resolution, unlike the case in the Senate, where the Republicans would have to mount an unlikely filibuster.

Ace,

I don't think you can filibuster a Budget bill.

IIRC, that's somewhere in there.

So it would have to come from the senate.

And as someone whose current income is from the DoD via his wife. I say "Shut the fucker down."

I'll gladly spend down my assets to make ends meet if it means we can finally win one.

*Does math* But you can't shut it down for...*more math* more than 6 months.  After that I'd be out of assets. *does more math* maybe 8 if I tweak some money.

34 I don't think you can filibuster a Budget bill. This is an important thing we've lost sight of in the Senate. You can filibuster anything. A *real* filibuster is when a Senator gets up and starts talking, then keeps talking, and keeps talking. As long as he can keep talking no one can do anything about it *unless* they can get enough votes (60) to have him forced to cede the floor. The "reconciliation rule" simply says they don't have to get cloture (or that cloture only requires 50 votes? something like that). It does not actually prohibit a filibuster.

36 For this new left-wing tactic of throwing urine and feces on people they disagree with -- can we arrest and charge them with some sort of biological warfare crime? Throwing human waste at someone has major disease risk that throwing glitter does not. it's not just that human waste is gross -- it's gross because it carries disease. I think states need to put laws on the books that up the penalty for using disease-carrying human waste as a weapon. The lefties resorting to this human waste tactic think they will just get a slap on the wrist -- like the glitter bombers do. I also think the glitter bomber penalties should be upped, but that's a different issue.

This has the look and sound of theatre to me but the fact remains that ObamaCare is a disaster and implementation will be fraught with problems.  Getting Zero to sign-off on destroying his signature legislative accomplishment of his first term (auspicious honor that) is wishful thinking at this point methinks.  Barry will shut it down and have his water-carrying press do the heavy lifting for him.  In a bit, the GOP will cave, ObamaCare will continue to be implemented (albeit in an incomplete state), and more people will see hours/jobs reduced to account for the costs associated with the law.

This whole thing is a mess but I almost want to see Obama enfore the law and make people experience the results of their decisions.  The more all this hurts, the more people will wake up to the fact that more government involvement in their lives is not the solution.  As medical professionals exit the field, this will become a crisis that will compel Congress to act.

In the end the Blue Model will collapse because there is no money left.  The only question in my mind is whether it will be an orderly implosion or a violent explosion.  This is going to get ugly as folks realize all their expected "free" benefits disappear into nothingness.  Detroit bondholders may get a few cents on the dollar, a lot of citizens will get nothing except a massive bill.  Strap in, this is going to become a bumpy ride soon.

See if you can spot the differences  in the  comment  responses  to two scenarios:

1.  Sen Mike Lee says we are willing to shut down the government  to stop Obamacare.

 

2.  Sen Mike Lee says we are not willing to shut down the government to stop Obamacare.

57 I thought budget bills had a set time limit for debate as well? I don't think so. But all you'd have to do is look at the Senate Calendar, and filibuster the thing immediately before that (while broadcasting that you're actually filibustering the budget). The House has lots of rules about what you can talk about, when, and for how long. The Senate? Not so much.

Boehner and company will cave.  What they don't realize is that the pushing and denigrating, campaign style will not stop until those up for election in 2014 are unseated.  The republicans have not learned to call out misinformation.  They prefer to hide and cry and complain among themselves.  Meantime the dems tell the misinformation over and over again until your average hipster on the street can repeat the misinformation as absolute truth.

Actually, once at a wood dump with my parents getting our seasonal supply of fire wood I got a splinter in my eye (from the wood dust) and ended up with a corneal abrasion.

Hurt like hell.

And I had to wear a patch for a while (I forget how long.)

Worse yet, it wasn't a cool pirate patch, it was a cotton patch tapped to my eye. It was the suck.

Would be a bad news. The Dems and the Media [/Redundant] would sell the move as just GOP trying to undo anything Obama wants because Racism or that OCare is good and Rep don't want to be wrong about it.

 

No. This bastard child of socialism and big government needs to be as pushed out into the light of day and shown as the deformed, hideous monster it is.

 

I have no idea why the GOP isn't pressuring Obama to enforce the employer mandates. Shouting from every rooftop "IF IT'S SO GOOD WHY DELAY IT? ##### of AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE FROM LACK OF HEALTHCARE COVERAGE!" (You know, the play that Dems used to force it through.)

There's a very small handful of really world class scientists, engineers, and mathematicians in government employ.

150 Obamacare (tm) is such a threat to the entire relationship between the citizen and the federal government that it is in effect a coup. To support ObamaCare is in effect treason against the Constitution as it was written and existed before it was exiled by the advocates of collectivist big government. If we are willing to shut the federal government down over it, which we should be, shouldn't we also be willing heed the call for a Convention to consider amendments to the Constitution? ObamaCare directly destroys my liberty, but we must make other changes because the Federal Reserve's creation of infinite money and infinite debt make us all debt serfs, which by its very nature also destroys our liberty.

196 FNC has one of those "sudden acceleration" lawsuits. It's always confused, panicked, or crazy drivers jamming down the accelerator thinking it's the brakes. Sometimes it's an accidental floor mat wedged weirdly but usually it's just the driver jamming the gas pedal to the floor. And these incidents always increase after one is in the news -- which means some people are doing it on purpose to excuse crazy speeding or for a lawsuit. It's mostly confused elderly people though who shouldn't be allowed to drive anymore.

The more all this hurts, the more people will wake up to the fact that more government involvement in their lives is not the solution. As medical professionals exit the field, this will become a crisis that will compel Congress to act.

 

With respect, no.  The people who we want hurt by this will never blame the Choomster or the Democrats.  It will always, somehow, be the fault of obstructionist Rethuglicans or evil corporatist swine like the Koch Brothers.  Oh, they'll get dorked up the squeakhole good and hard, but Barry promised only the tip.  Any deeper, it's because Boehner or McConnell pushed him in.

The Obama appointee implicated in congressional testimony in the IRS targeting scandal met with President Obama in the White House two days before offering his colleagues a new set of advice on how to scrutinize tea party and conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status.

IRS chief counsel William Wilkins, who was named in House Oversight testimony by retiring IRS agent Carter Hull as one of his supervisors in the improper targeting of conservative groups, met with Obama in the Roosevelt Room of the White House on April 23, 2012. WilkinsÂ’ boss, then-IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman, met with Obama on April 24, 2012, according to White House visitor logs.

On April 25, 2012, Wilkins sent Hull and fellow Washington-based IRS official Lois Lerner “additional comments on the draft guidance” for approving or denying tea party tax-exempt applications according to the IRSÂ’ inspector generalÂ’s report.

Lori De Waal, his representative, says Farina died Monday morning in a Scottsdale, Ariz., hospital after suffering a blood clot in his lung. He was 69. Born Feb. 29, 1944, in Chicago, he was a city police officer before turning to acting in his late 30s. Farina appeared in films including "Get Shorty," ''Saving Private Ryan" and "Midnight Run." Among his many TV portrayals was Det. Joe Fontana on "Law & Order." He starred in the 1980s cult favorite, "Crime Story" and most recently was in the HBO drama series "Luck."

Woman killed by minivan; teens take baby to safety

ItemLive (Lynn, MA): http://tiny.cc/1ywm0w

 

LYNN — A teenage couple recalled Sunday how they had asked a woman with a baby for directions. Moments later, they said, they watched in horror as a minivan struck and killed the woman.

 

“I just kept telling him to get out,” Moises Baez, 18, of Chelsea, said of the driver. “And she was with the baby, who was crying, and we were just like yelling at him to stop.”...

 

...“He was just burning out on her,” said Baez. He and Arsenault described how the driver of the minivan accelerated the vehicle, trying to get over the body. The driver then tried going forward, and then back again, they said.

 

They said they rushed to the scene: Arsenault to the baby that was lying on the ground and Baez to get the driver to stop...

 

Baez said he saw the injuries the woman suffered and saw she wasnÂ’t moving and he immediately suspected she was dead.

 

Baez said the driver of the vehicle had trouble understanding English and was listening to very loud music. But Baez said he finally got the man to stop the car.

 

“I still don’t understand how he didn’t feel he hit somebody, because that dent’s pretty huge,” Baez said...

Pick something you like and something flattering both for complexion and face shape. It is worth the money to get a nicer pair if you like that style better but price is not necessarily an indicator that the frames will be better for you. I would stay away from black unless you're trying to make a statement since black can be harsher than you'd like on a daily basis. You may also want to consider frameless if the prescription would allow you to go that route.

299 ObamaCare won't be implemented any time soon simply due to inertia and indifferent non-compliance.

The amount of non-government recoding needed to implement this into existing legacy industry systems is massive and there's not enough warm bodies to do the work and have it tested to any trustable degree.

Its not unlike the Y2K effort.  People with foresight started 10 years prior and never panicked, another batch started realizing it was real about 5 years out.  By the time it arrived, 99% of critical systems had been fixed/retested to a significant degree -- but that took 5 FREAKING YEARS of fairly intensive work by industry for it to happen.

Y2K was a yawner because Many 10's of thousands of people working for years made it so.   

I had 5 solid years of rolling phat doing high priced SCM consulting during that period and the vast majority of those contracts were companies doing Y2K rework who didn't have any SCM or defect tracking process in place. 

So far, I'm not seeing that Y2K era Manhattan project level of commitment to implementing this ObamaCare shit so it would slide in as a yawner.

305 A few more details on the Zimmerman story: Sanford Police Department Capt. Jim McAuliffe told Fox News that Zimmerman, 29, was identified by a crash victim as the man who pulled him from the mangled vehicle. “George Zimmerman pulled me out,” firefighters were told by the unidentified driver, according to McAuliffe. The Seminole County Sheriff's Office said the single-car accident occurred July 17 at approximately 5:45 pm. and involved a blue Ford Explorer SUV that had left the road and rolled over. The sheriff's office said there were four occupants inside -- two parents and two children. The responding deputy said that when he arrived, two men -- one of whom was Zimmerman -- had already gotten the family out of the overturned vehicle.

There is strong evidence the Executive Branch of the US federal government has  been deliberately, maliciously targeting and harassing (to the point of outright persecution) prominent Republican donors such as Frank Vandersloot, Republican activists such as True The Vote's Catherine Engelbrecht, and Republican political hopefuls such as Christine O'Donnell (whatever you might think of Christine O'Donnell). Why, exactly, should Republican elected officials at any local, state, and national level cooperate with the Obama Administration in any way, on any issue? In case the GOP Establishment isn't catching on, the boys from Chicago are not traditional Democrats. We're not talking about Hubert Humphrey or Ed Muskie here.

324 I'm almost thinking the best way to get the country back on a small government course is to have Obamacare shoved down the throats of Americans good and hard.  Suddenly rape babies and birth control won't be such a hot topic when the average American can't see a doctor and they're paying $2,000 a month premiums.

It truly is going to be a trainwreck of epic proportions, and as long as there is a Democrat Senate and Democrat President, the only thing Republicans can do at this point is delay ObamaCare, which would probably be a life preserver for Obama and Democrats.

I have worn glasses since I was 12yrs old. I hate them. Can't do the laser due to "thin corneas". Great the only thin thing about me makes it impossible to NOT get rid of the ugly glasses. I can wear contacts but they are miserably uncomfortable since I have extreme astigmatism.  Honey, if you can wear contacts do it!  If not then find something that flatters the shape of your face and eyes.  I would suggest not going with black frames, they can be heavy looking. Brown or tortoise shell can be flattering for almost anyone.

336 "194 FNC has one of those "sudden acceleration" lawsuits.

It's always confused, panicked, or crazy drivers jamming down the accelerator thinking it's the brakes.

Sometimes it's an accidental floor mat wedged weirdly but usually it's just the driver jamming the gas pedal to the floor.

And these incidents always increase after one is in the news -- which means some people are doing it on purpose to excuse crazy speeding or for a lawsuit.

It's mostly confused elderly people though who shouldn't be allowed to drive anymore.

Here's something to keep in mind:  The computers that control cars today have no effective security on them whatsoever.  To make it easier for their techs, they have been going to Bluetooth instead of plug-in interface for the last few model years.



Is it really that outlandish to suspect that some technically proficient sociopath would put together an overpowered Bluetooth interface, possibly with a cantenna type set up and then use it to set somebody's accelerator all the way on?  As long as we are being paranoid, wouldn't that be a handy way to be rid of some troublesome journalist?

Not sure, but a quick search for online glasses shows one store Zenni Optical that offers glasses for something like $30~

That price may also be ignoring options and shipping, but it's still a lot cheaper than having a vision plan and paying several hundred dollars per pair.    (Apparently, glasses are dirt cheap to make - optometrists charge a huge markup for their services)
