OBAMA ADMIN KNEW MILLIONS
WOULD LOSE HEALTH COVERAGE
But GOP 'Leadership' is STILL Targeting
Sens. Ted Cruz and Mike Lee!
VOTE NO CONFIDENCE
IN REPUBLICAN ESTABLISHMENT
URGENT ALERT: YesBarackObama LIED – MASSIVELY,REPEATEDLYSHAMELESSLY.
And while that is no surprise, what is mind-boggling is that the official GOP response has been to focus on politically punishing our "Tea Party" resistance to Obama's lies – rather than on the lies themselves and their damage to the nation!
Instead of taking the fight to Obama and acting to block his crippling federal government takeover of America's healthcare, GOP "leaders" like Sens. Mitch McConnell and John Cornyn are still sabotaging the Cruz-Lee defund ObamaCare effort INDEFINITELY. After WEEKS of demonizing Ted Cruz, they have NOW put a target on Sen. Mike Lee's back for the 2016 elections. The Establishment Old Bulls have declared they WILL field a primary opponent to replace Lee with an obedient and compliant sycophant who listens to THEM rather than the American people!
It is ironic in the extreme that as Democrat office holders are running scared and jumping ship on ObamaCare, and that as they are starting to BEG for the very "delays" they just insultingly DENIED to Tea Party activated conservatives – the GOP is turning its fire on US! As this UNFIXABLE healthcare nightmare goes into political freefall, the Republican Establishment needs to get a grip on common sense and realize their gun sights should be focused on OBAMA – NOT on the patriots who for YEARS have mobilized political resistance to the ObamaCare trainwreck!
In campaign mode, Barack Obama repeatedly told us that if we liked our health insurance, we could keep it even after the Affordable Care Act became law. These would be "grandfathered" health insurance plans. Except millions of Americans are now receiving cancellation letters for their health insurance or facing UNAFFORDABLE premium hikes! And, according to the experts, Barack Obama has known this would happen for at least three years.
NBC News sources reveal that 50 to 75 percent of the 14 million (some experts say 16 million) consumers who buy their insurance coverage as individuals can expect to LOSE their health insurance because of ObamaCare's new insurance standards – despite all the "grandfathering" of coverage promises.
As early as July 2010, included in ObamaCare regulations, is an estimate that "40 to 67 percent" of customers will not be able to keep their policy.
Nancy Thompson of CBIZ Benefits, which helps companies manage employee benefits, estimates "50 to 75 percent" will lose their plans.
Robert Laszewski of Health Policy and Strategy Associates estimates that 80 percent of those in the individual market will lose their pre-ObamaCare health insurance.
The White House says not to worry because the shiny, new ObamaCare "conforming" or "standardized" policies will be more "comprehensive" (as in they are one-size-fits-all and YOU must pay for EVERYTHING) and so will insure a 60 year-old bachelor to receive prenatal and maternity coverage. Plus YOUR taxpayer-funded subsidies will help offset these vastly increased costs for those deemed "qualified" and worthy by Obama's IRS hacks!
So far, the Vichy Republicans appear ready to let them get away with ALL of it!
This is what happens when the minority opposition party – for this drama, the Republicans – sits weak and craven in the face of rising tyranny. Nancy Pelosi and her Democrats forced a bill to Obama's desk on the irresponsible and unacceptable terms that they had to pass it in order to find out what was in it, and yet the GOP has remained too undisciplined and ineffectual to SHUT THEM DOWN EVEN AFTER WE GAVE THE REPUBLICANS THE U.S. HOUSE MAJORITY…
As if to underscore the Republican Party's cowardly failure to BOLDLY take on ObamaCare, whether to defund it or otherwise halt its implementation until more elected political reinforcements can arrive, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has NO such hesitation in gearing up to fight our true conservatives who take on ObamaCare tooth and nail! At a recent fundraiser with 300 K street (lobbyist) donors, Politico reported McConnell made clear that he isn't going to allow another government shutdown on his watch – not even when it comes to the needed fight to cut spending once we ram into the debt ceiling again and Obama moves for another limit hike because he has run out of government funding.
According to Politico:
The attendee said McConnell "said everything that needed to be said" to help tamp down growing concern among bundlers and donors over how the GOP continues to be paralyzed by anti-establishment members like Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Mike Lee (R-Utah). Neither lawmaker attended the event.
McConnell is going to make sure we have NO leverage when it comes to negotiating with the Obama White House, and at the same time he is CONSUMED with undercutting and backstabbing our true conservative champions on Capitol Hill!
And just this week came the ugly report that Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) in particular is targeting Mike Lee for an Establishment primary challenge in his home state, hoping to replace this ObamaCare fighter with another status quo "moderate" who will "go along to get along."
Finally fighting back against the Obama regime on the calamitous "Affordable Healthcare Act' SHOULD BE the best thing that has happened to and for the Republican Party in decades, if only the GOP still had enough integrity to recognize it.
Evidently THEY DON'T.
Washington is NOW abuzz with the news that the launch of ObamaCare has been so incompetent that the individual mandate coverage or penalty deadline HAS BEEN PUSHED BACK by His Highness Barack II. But THAT IS NOT what the law says; THAT IS NOT what the Constitution says. Barack Obama CANNOT make law.
WE say, THE DEMOCRATS HAD THEIR CHANCE TO PROPERLY REVISE THE LAW. Since the Democrats just belligerently shut down the government to PREVENT A LAWFUL delay they are now about to be BEGGING for, how about Republicans inform them "we won't negotiate, either." The GOP should tell Obama and Harry Reid the NEW deal is now between 100 percent repeal of ObamaCare, or 100 percent enforcement of the entire law as written and passed – NO waivers and NO exceptions, including theemployer mandate Obama violated the law to reschedule an additional year out.
Republicans need to STOP SAVING OBAMACARE. It needs to BE KILLED NOW,before it completely kills the private insurance industry and we are left with the rubble of single-payer CommieCare under federal gummit incompetence.
We have said from the very outset, there is no "fixing" this disaster with piecemeal patches or efforts at delaying the inevitable – which is a full-scale meltdown. And there is simply no reason to allow the Democrats to shirk responsibility for the national economic and healthcare calamity they've created.
The sooner we fight back with EVERYTHING we've got, the better chance we as a nation can claw our way back from this debacle. It is in NO ONE'S interest to smash the private health insurance industry – if we can shut down the ObamaCare train wreck sooner than later, the health insurance carriers can pull themselves out of free fall before they "come all the way in."
DELAYING the full implementation of ObamaCare, and allowing Obama's illicit waivers and exemptions to stand, only makes the law more palatable and helps it to limp along. This is foolish and counterproductive to helping the American people understand the full implications of government controlled healthcare.
The WHOLE country right now is focused on the unmitigated disaster that is ObamaCare. Hundreds of thousands of people, families, in state after state have lost their affordable and functioning healthcare coverage – and are not at all sure they can afford the 60 to 160 percent rate increases they are being offered in new plans, which also have much higher deductibles and co-payments in most cases.
ObamaCare's harms are pervasive and profound; they cannot be meaningfully mitigated – it MUST be shut down.
Despite what the mainstream media is claiming about the aftermath of the Cruz-Lee ObamaCare defunding fight over the Continuing Resolution which Obama and Harry Reid used as a pretext to close about 17 percent of "non-essential" federal government, we COMPLETELY CONCUR with an internal Cruz memo that argues that the DEFUND efforts have "produced tangible results" – and we say, RAMP 'EM UP!
"The defund plan produced tangible results that create both immediate and long-term benefits for the country and the conservative cause," according to the memo.
Cruz explains:
First, it intensified the nation's focus on Obamacare. Second, it energized Americans by showing there are people in Washington willing to take real action to stop Obamacare. Third, it exposed, for all to see, the Democrats' refusal to compromise out of blind devotion to their extreme liberal agenda. Lastly, it proved the need for Republicans to unite and stand firm together in their resolve to defeat Obamacare.
The question is: WILL ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS LISTEN OR WILL THEY AID AND ABET BARACK OBAMA IN DESTROYING OUR HEALTHCARE?
WILL THEY KEEP UP THEIR "CIVIL WAR" AGAINST PATRIOTS INSTEAD OF TRAINING THEIR FIRE ON DEFUNDING FAILING OBAMACARE?
WILL THEY CONTINUE TO FOOL VOTERS WITH FAKE ANTI-OBAMACARE OUTRAGE WHEN THE CAMERAS ARE ROLLING, BUT THEN SELL US OUT "FIXING" OBAMACARE AND KEEPING IT GOING?
Many are firing away at the ObamaCare websitehealthcare.govover it not working, being a waste of hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars, and forcing many Americans OUT of their current health insurance plans like 300,000 just "let go" in Florida, and the 275,000 in California. Suddenly alive to the coming electoral rage from damaged, disenchanted constituents, many Democrats are clamoring aboard the "delay" bandwagon.
After all, if you can't sign up because it doesn't work… how can you be PUNISHED for failing to comply?
Well, Barack Obama cannot just wave his magic wand and say March 31 is NOW the new date for the individual mandate. That is NOT what the Democrats' ACA says. And America is still a nation of laws, not men.
The Democrats OWN ObamaCare and if they want to change anything about it, they have to deal with the GOP!
The Republicans NOW MUST STAND AND FIGHT FOR DEFUNDING. If the Democrats want to escape this meltdown before the 2014 elections, they need to deep-six ObamaCare. Period. And if the Old Bulls don't have the belly to fight, our only choice with a do-nothing GOP is to continue standing with those like Cruz and Lee who will STAND AND FIGHT WITH US!
The smug GOP wheeler-dealers DID everything in their power to stick it to the American people, from NO DEFUNDING, to phony "wins" like pretending they'll enforce income verification requirements already IN the ObamaCare law, to enacting restrictions preventing us from fighting against the NEXT debt ceiling – they surrendered after SABOTAGING US – because they never wanted to win in the first place!
Delivering a bill laden with pork and putrid with capitulation, saboteur commander of the Vichy GOP Mitch McConnell has had the chutzpah to smugly announce he has "schooled" our champions in this battle about fight a losing strategy – but he omits to mention HE betrayed our cause and the Republican base to ensure that we were delivered into the hands of our adversaries.
Arrogant McConnell was quoted by the Hill on Thursday that repealing ObamaCare would never be used by Republicans again to bring the federal government to a halt. "I think we have fully now acquainted our new members with what a losing strategy that is," McConnell smugly said.
Make no mistake – McConnell just SAVED ObamaCare and sold us out for $2 million in pork to Kentucky, to try to save his reelection… and the GOP Senate aided and abetted him. Obama and the Democrats are our adversaries, but the Republican Establishment is OUR ENEMY.
The business mandate has been unlawfully extended, the individual mandate will be unlawfully delayed – by Dear Leader who now that the GOP has submitted to his tyranny will smirk and chuckle and joke about how even he realizes it's not ready yet so he's going to be our pal and do this nice thing for us. But this is NOT how law is made or amended, and this is NOT the best path for our nation.
THE DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN SCREAMING OBAMACARE IS SETTLED LAW! WE SHOULD DEMAND IT BE IMPLEMENTED EXACTLY AS WRITTEN AND PASSED! MAKE THEM OWN IT, NOW, ON TIME FOR ALL AMERICANS, IN ALL ITS SPLENDOR. WE TRIED TO SPARE THE NATION, AND WE WERE VILIFIED.
The MSM is trying to RECAST our defunding battle as a disastrous political miscalculation and policy game-over for Ted Cruz and Mike Lee and all of us committed to defunding and killing ObamaCare before it can sink its mutant claws into our healthcare system – but the OBAMACARE TRAINWRECK IS PROVING US RIGHT, and we say, WELL FOUGHT, CRUZ AND LEE! WELL FOUGHT, PATRIOTS!
We WERE, indeed, betrayed in the Senate and thrown under the bus by GOP status quo sellouts. BUT NOW, UNLIKE ALL THEIR EARLIER SHAM "DEFUND" VOTES – WITH THEIR SLEAZY "DEAL" THEY HAVE BEEN EXPOSED!
Mitch McConnell and his quisling Senate conference are running down Pennsylvania Avenue stripped NAKED on their support for ObamaCare and their willingness to collaborate with Obama!
They are completely exposed for the contemptible liars and corrupt, backstabbing pols they REALLY are! So NOW we have a chance to throw a couple of them OUT of office! McConnell and Lindsey Graham should be targets #1 and #2.
And as TRUE conservative House and Senate Republicans meet to plan their next moves, IT IS CRITICAL THEY HEAR FROM YOU TO KEEP FIGHTING, HOLD THEIR GROUND AND DEFUND NOW!
"If 218 House members hold our ground – if we say we will not fund ObamaCare and we will not fund an appropriation that fails to cut off the funding to ObamaCare – if we hold our ground, we will win," Rep. Steve King reminded us not too long ago, and he was ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!
If the Senate GOP was not a body of self-serving saboteurs; if the House GOP were better led and had stood its ground, Reid COULD NOT HAVE funded ObamaCare… But with THIS CORRUPT AND FECKLESS “LEADERSHIP” the Republicans will NEVER get it right!
They MUST be turned out… they MUST be replaced!
Help us pound Washington and GOP House "leadership" to KILL OBAMACAREbefore Americans get addicted to healthcare on someone else's money and beforeour private industry health insurance is turned into worthless, rationed, government run Banana Republic-Care more appropriate for CUBA or ZAMBIA!
And please, help us SUPPORT Sen. Ted Cruz and keep the Defund ObamaCare war chest ready for battle and this fight GOING STRONG all the way to the finish line!PUT MCCONNELL AND BOEHNER ON NOTICE TODAY! DEFUND NOW!
Congress can and should act to defund all of ObamaCare now.
McConnell keeps claiming he opposes ObamaCare, but that nothing can be done to truly stop it. He is a CORRUPT loser and a weakling who will not lead and will not fight and has NOW clearly sold us out for a porkulous Kentucky Kickback!
WE MUST MAKE CLEAR THAT GRASSROOTS AMERICA WON'T ACCEPT OBAMACARE OR McCONNELL'S AND BOEHNER'S GUTLESS EXCUSES FOR FAILURE JUST DO NOT CUT IT…
WE WANT OBAMACARE DEFUNDED NOW!
Tell Mitch McConnell AND John Boehner in the House they have LOST your confidence in their leadership, and if they DO NOT follow through on their campaign promises, they WILL be removed…
They have just about 90 days to do something RIGHT. In the meantime, we are mobilizing to BE RID OF THEM…
Michael Astrue, former HHS general counsel and Social Security commissioner, has warned in THE WEEKLY STANDARDthat "unless delayed and fixed" the ObamaCare exchanges will "inflict on the public the most widespread violation of the Privacy Act in our history."
WE DON'T WANT IT FIXED, WE DON'T WANT IT DELAYED, WE DON'T WANT IT – PERIOD!
But instead of joining Ted Cruz's "grassroots army" to help DEFUND the blasted beast, McConnell has just SAVED it!
McCONNELL WOULDN'T FIGHT TO DEFUND AND DEFEAT OBAMACARE – HIS BIG CONCERN WAS NOT BEING CHALLENGED BY TWO UP AND COMING YOUNG SENATORS! WHAT A PETTY, PITIFUL EXCUSE OF A "LEADER."
With the TOTAL ObamaCare website meltdown, and Obama's illicit extension of the individual mandate – the GOP is back in the fight, if they are man enough. DEMAND THEY DEFUND!
All Senate Republicans signed a letter practically BEGGING OBAMA TO "PERMANENTLY" DELAY THE LAW…
WHY ISN'T CONGRESS REPEALING IT?
WHY ISN'T CONGRESS RESCINDING IT?
Above all – WHY ISN'T THE GOP UNITING BEHIND CRUZ AND LEE IN A BICAMERAL EFFORT TO DEFUND IT AND KILL IT BY DEFAULT?
NOW IS THE TIME FOR MCCONNELL AND BOEHNER TO STOP CONSPIRING AGAINST AMERICANS WITH HARRY REID, TO CEASE PLAYING PATTY-CAKE WITH SPECIAL INTERESTS, TO STOP PLAYING GAMES WITH BARACK OBAMA AND PROMOTING HIS PET PROJECT, OBAMACARE – AND DEFUND IT!
John Boehner, Eric Cantor, Kevin McCarthy, Mitch McConnell and the rest of the RINOs are little more than opportunist hacks lining their pockets with money stolen from the cash-strapped American People. Too duplicitous, ambitious, timid, corrupt and compromised to take action, they mouth pretty platitudes while allowing Barack Obama, Harry Reid and their Marxist friends to lead us to socialist ruin and spend America right down the drain.

Holding the line AGAINSTFUNDING ObamaCare, gun control, amnesty, and FIGHTING a pitched battle to get rational, prioritized spending cuts in the Year 2014 Federal Budget process will ONLY happen if Congress gets CONSERVATIVE CONSTITUTIONALISTS in Leadership – and GETS RID OF BOEHNER AND McCONNELL!
