Why do you insist on showing THAT YOU CANNOT READ? I never said "Oregon's exchange was not setup by Republicans", never once did I say anything like that, at all.Yet you couldn't notice that Oregon's exchange wasn't set up by Republicans......like you stated. Nor even how it played out. So you were wrong on that point. The usual.
Funny. Most of the attack ads I've seen were regarding ISIS and EBOLA. But I will agree with you on one thing. Democratic senators ran away like the b**ches they are.
Hey that was a winning strategy :roll:

Heya Lerxst :2wave: Good seeing you return.
But check this out and note why its History was in the Making.

I just saw that. I'm not all that impressed at this point. Only because I know how easily American voters are swayed. I simply do not see it lasting over the next 24 months. When the Republicans fail to get it done, and they will, the pendulum will swing left again. Just like it always does. Nothing has actually changed with regard to the real governance of this country.

You mean the Right To Work For Less legislation, right? Let me preface my next response by saying I am an advocate for union reformation. Why are you seemingly willing to exclude unions from the political process? You might say it is taking union dues from workers who'd vote one way and send it the other. OK, but so does corporations. Now, if you're advocating in all or in part private money being excluded from the political process I'd be a friend and ally. If you're merely saying that these guys should have collective clout and say nothing of the flip side of that coin, well, obviously we'd have a discrepancy.
Let me provide full disclosure and divulge I've been a Teamster. Many, all-to-many times I felt that my union dues were merely going to cover the cost of protecting lazy, good for nothing, POS who should be kicked out on their ass. I showed up every day, got excellent reviews, did my job without fail and for all intents, didn't need union representation. Now my pay at the time was about 30-40% more than at a non union shop. It was that way because of union representation. So, what those 30% of teachers did essentially is say, well, we got what we got because of the union and now, well, piss off. The other end of the bargaining table loves this. Why? because it provides the context and framework to slowly, ever-so-slowly chip away at all the rights, benefits, salaries that the Union got them, which could have only be gotten through solidarity in collective bargaining.
Again, this isn't where the main ire I have lies, if people are too stupid to realize this is nothing but a "divide and conquer" strategy, they deserve what they get. God don't save stupid.

I didn't notice his post earlier but I saw the same thing you did (in NH anyway). I can't even remember an ad Scott Brown ran about the ACA. I remember one ad by a group pointing out that Jeanne Shaheen cast the deciding vote on it but that's it. Shaheen won (barely) but I also don't remember her mentioning the ACA ever.
Except for her (and a few gimmes, like Markey in MA), most of the Dem Senators were hiding in a closet somewhere on the issue.
One I didn't understand was Grimes running from it. Why didn't she mention that KY Kynect is ACA? Kynect is popular in Kentucky. McConnell didn't even bring it up.
Texas leads the Nation in Jobs Created across ALL income levels. Even HIGH paying jobs.
We're the destination for MILLIONS of Blue Plague State refugees from Liberal hell holes like California.
Which incidentally has the Nations HIGHEST poverty rates.
We're the destination for HUNDREDS of Bussinesses who've picked up their entire operation and moved out of States like California.
Thank god for Texas !!
That isn't the Federal Government's role and the more you allow the Federal Govt. to do the more dependent you get on the Federal Govt
Yep, that is why millions of people are moving to TX so they don't get health insurance, get paid a low wage, and breathe polluted air. That is of course why I moved here. Over half the uninsured in TX are eligible for state programs now but haven't signed up. Guess liberals would assign a nanny to them
Didn't you get the memo?
The public is only smart when they vote republican agendas. :roll:
Confusing causal relationship error. Texas is not the only state people are moving to. They don't lead the nation in that category either. But there are likely more than one reason why. The state benefits from tourism, among other things, and still rate near the bottom in a lot of categories. But here is some reading for you:
Oops: The Texas Miracle That Isn’t
Conservatives say the Lone Star state’s recent record of growth validates their economic agenda. That record crumbles upon inspection.
Oops: The Texas Miracle That Isn’t by Phillip Longman | The Washington Monthly
I don't see any denials either.
Just more of the same moral justifications, as though when it comes to Obama there are different rules.
Critic:"He lied"
Obamalemming "He won didn't he? Romney is a moron!"
Critic: "it was wrong"
Obamalemming: "so what? Bush lied."
So, wasn't this Obama brand supposed to be better than the other brands? Wasn't this brand critical of the brand before?
But it seems he has adopted all the worst of his predecessors [except getting caught getting his knob polished in the Oval Office] and that's OK because Bush, Bush, Reagan, Eisenhower, and Nixon did it too.
That kind of reads to me like the LOWEST common denominator as opposed to what was promised as a highest common denominator.
Just as often it is the right to work for more.
Man, the progressives are so quick to troll a post with accusations of "talking points" and here we have a classic case.
I was in a union in television, they said I could not be paid what the company had agreed to pay me because I was new.
The court said otherwise.
FFS, your communistic bull**** gets tiresome. How about chanting "workers of the world unite!" and sing solidarity forever. The world has changed, the concepts you spew are what destroyed your automobile industry. In the 21st century some of us have learned that merit trumps seniority and the result is a superior product, like the foreign cars that destroyed Detroit.
Solidarity Forever! Eat the rich! Down tools, why work when we can get drunk on picket line?
Oh, yeah, of course, unions where put in place as a reason to pay people less...:roll:
A progressive troll, moi? :lamo I'm sure there are about oh, uh, several dozen people on this site who are scratching their heads on this one.
does it get tiresome? I know what I find tiresome, half witted comments based off half assed thoughts. That bores the hell out of me. :yawn:
Good day.
:2wave:
The election was more than just the GOP taking back rhe Senate.
It included Governorships and State Congressional seats
To ignore the growing majority of Republican Representives at this point just comes off as sour grapes.
Union bosses that generate not one red penny to the profit of a company certainly are doing well. Why isn't that discussed
Union bosses' salaries put 'big' in Big Labor - Washington Times
For the die hards of both parties the debate goes, Is too, Is not, Is too, Is not. Yeah. Integrity, honesty, common virtues have been replaced by the attitude of I am the elite and I know what is best for you. You are too dumb to figure what is good and bad for you by yourself.
There was another thread on this yesterday, I think in the ACA section? I was as appalled then as I am again today thinking about this. Disgusting.
They may feel some shame in passing a bill they never even read, if shame even exists anymore. If they don't then they must share in the voters are stupid idea also.

Heya Pero. It appears Howard Dean has had enough.
Liberal Civil War Continues: Howard Dean Calls Obamacare Architects Elitist......
Within 24 hours of the 2014 midterm election results pouring in, handing the Senate over to Republicans, outgoing Majority Leader Harry Reid unleashed his chief-of-staff to the Washington Post where he slammed the Obama White House for the Democrat bloodbath.
The problem is not that he said it. The problem is that he thinks it. The core problem under the damn law is it was put together by a bunch of elitists two don’t fundamentally understand the American people. That’s what the problem is," Dean said in response to Gruber's comments on MSNBC's Morning Joe.
It should be noted that when Dean talks about Gruber not "fundamentally understanding Americans," he's referring to those in his far-left base who want single-payer healthcare. Regardless, the civil war and the sniping within the Democrat party continues.....snip~
Liberal Civil War Continues: Howard Dean Calls Obamacare Architects Elitist - Katie Pavlich
Now, after comments from Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber surfaced showing the administration lied to "stupid" Americans in order to get the legislation passed, former Democrat Presidential candidate and DNC Chairman Howard Dean is calling the architects of the law "elitist" who don't "fundamentally understand Americans."
"The problem is not that he said it. The problem is that he thinks it. The core problem under the damn law is it was put together by a bunch of elitists two don’t fundamentally understand the American people. That’s what the problem is,"
