I guess you no longer need it because of your vasectomy. Was that covered?



Ha. Sorry guys but in my state NJ, Obamacare worked. Insurance costs went down by I think 5% on average.

Reason was policy requirements already similar to Obamacare. Rather than having insurance rates spike depending on age or circumstance, better to pay over lifetime. Easier to afford, more people insured everyone in the long term benefits.

Essex : 7/25/2015 11:56 am : link
Saying your premiums will go down because of a political argument to pass a bill and providing proof how it will do that is not the same with what the Clintons did. Projections are different from knowing the truth. The Clintons lie when the answer is X and they know it is X, but they will say Y. Just like "I didn't sleep with that women" or that Mark Rich, a fugitive, deserved a pardon.

I am not a republican or democrat, I vote on the candidate. But, HRC has been a compulsive and pathological liar about getting caught her entire career. Whether it was with that commodities deal, the travelgate nonsense, the papers from Whitewater mysteriously disappearing and the reappearing in the White House, "the vast right wing conspiracy," being under Sniper Fire in Bosnia (which was the same things Brian Williams did) to now this. And, I am sure I missed a few things. With this new thing, she has lied repeatedly from the private server because she didn't like carrying to devices, to not being subpoenaed, to saying she didn't solicit emails from Blumenthal (which there is proof she did), to saying she didn't pass along classified information. they surveyed 40 emails and found four instances of classified information. Who know how many more they will find.

I am sure the democrats can find a better candidate, who in the words of William Safire, is not a "congenital liar"

The whole conversation has twisted. Originally HH just wanted lies and now it's a Big Brother justification of lies...I guess to say it's not really a lie.

Beyond that, we mentioned other lies, which he won't accept and we mentioned a myriad of lies by people who speak for him, which I'm still agog that he thinks that's somehow different. And that's after saying the lies were b cause it's Congress's fault.

But, I agree with the point about it being different than HRC. I said before, I think Obama lies so that h can force his ideological ends and make people think bad stuff is really cool stuff. Whereas, HRC lies purely to further her personal ambition.

and at the end of the day, I want them to be proud of their president. Whether I agree with Obama or not, he is basically a good man who is doing his best for this country. Whether you agreed with ACA or not, I truly believe he thought it best for America. The same with George W. Bush, while he might not have been the smartest man or whether I agreed with him or not, I think he was a decent man who tried to the best he could for America. Whether you agreed with the wars or not, I truly believed he thought he was doing the best for American.

Hillary and Bill Clinton are truly about themselves. One day, they will be the cheerleaders for Wall Street if it will get money or a vote, the next day they will burn Wall Street if it will get them a vote. They are shameless and are in the game to be in the game, not to help American.

Hillary is basically running against everything she helped create in the 90s, Welfare reform, the criminal justice bill, DOMA, repealing Glass-Steagal, and the list goes on and on. The Clintons have no shame and now pretend to be the biggest cheerleaders for the other sides of things they passed in the 90s. It is disgraceful. I really hope the Dems can get another candidate, Elizabeth Warren, Al Gore, Joe Biden. But, please, no Hillary.

I gave you his interview on Jon Stewart where he said unequivocally that no conservative groups were treated differently by the IRS which is directly contradicted by a Congressional committee, a judge, and the head of the IRS, but you dismissed that. I brought up his UN and other speeches on Benghazi as well as responses by Carney and Rice linking the attack to a video but you dismissed that. On Iran among other things Ernest specifically said anytime, anywhere for inspections.

Do you know what a lie is?
At least Obama owned up to it  
eclipz928 : 7/25/2015 12:35 pm : link
and apologized for being misleading on the subject. Can't really say the same for most other politicians who get caught willfully telling lies to people.

Quote:
"We weren’t as clear as we needed to be in terms of the changes that were taking place, and I want to do everything we can to make sure that people are finding themselves in a good position, a better position than they were before this law happened. And I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me," he said.

Obama offered an administrative fix that same day, allowing state insurance commissioners to extend current plans. But only some have chosen to do so.

In announcing the fix, Obama again conceded he had exaggerated. "There is no doubt that the way I put that forward unequivocally ended up not being accurate," he said. "It was not because of my intention not to deliver on that commitment and that promise. We put a grandfather clause into the law, but it was insufficient."


By the way, not that it is a justification, but the estimate is that only 2% of people who were insured couldn't get their old plans grandfathered in after the full policy took effect and the higher standards were set in place.

In simple everyday American know it see it...looks like a duck and quacks like a duck is likely a duck ( much like the hunches you believe in when you make hiring recommendations ...but do not know with proof)....what does the vast majority of people call the following:

Mis representations?

Deceptions?

Vital incompleteness?

Answering the precise question and not the spirit of the question?

Deflecting the answer?

Answering a different question than what was asked and relaying on deference for ones position to not get a tight follow up question to a non answer?

Bullshit?

Whats the person who uses all of the above called in everyday plain spoken insight?

Deceiving?

Ok so Presidents don't lie ( except Nixon) in a way that is on record. So you are happy with deception from a position you depend on.... as long as you cannot find a blatant and deliberate lie?

We do agree that deception is more insidious and more problematically toxic than a lie you outright caught?

Yes, we are too stupid to realize that we liked the insurance we had which my not have been perfect but cost less and gave us better coverage than what we have now.

It's this elitist attitude that liberals have that drives people crazy. And it DOES NOT excuse the outright deliberate lie about Obamacare. That kind of attitude is disgusting.

Flat out lies?
Never subopenaed? She was
Deleted only private emails? Recovered emails from Blumenthal's account prove she did delete business emails.
Said she never solicited emails from Blumenthal? Recovered Blumenthal emails has her emailing him "keep em coming"
Said she never passed along classified information on private server? 40 documents were sampled and 4 instances of classified info that was classified at the time were sent by her over the server.

And, the Whitewater prosecutor wrote an indictment up about her lying to th grand jury but never submitted it because he didn't want to go after the president's wife.

And, of course, she said she got off the Tarmac in Bosnia under gun fire, but the tape undeniably shows her laughing and under no gun fire. Brian Williams was fired for the same stuff.

I think politicians of both parties take things to the edge, I think she is pathological. In any event, to say she has never flat out lied and only bright it up to th edge is not accurate. She has lied.
I just don't understand how Republicans  
732NYG : 7/25/2015 2:13 pm : link
can focus in on talking points like Benghazi and personal emails, and yet have no problem with the fact that Repub congress and house members have blocked and repealed every bit of legislation meant to curb Wall Street and corporate overstepping and corruption. Not to mention the joke that is Republican denial of anything climate or evolution related. Scott Walker straight up banned the talking about climate change by his employees, yet Republicans love him. Ted Cruz , Marco Rubio, and James "Snowball" Inhofe, three known anti-science and anti-climate politicians, are somehow put in charge of committees that oversee NASA, NOAA, and the EPA. Republicans are pushing policies that basically guarantee that our coastlines will be sitting underwater within 50 years, and yet somehow you don't have a problem with this. Either that, or you're too lazy and ignorant to look up some climate facts for yourself, which may be even worse.

Read my 10:40 post I agreed the President lied.

As to HRC, my only point on the other thread was to counter she is "Mrs. Clinton" and as such should just be dismissed. She has a resume of her own. Was not advocating for her. In fact I made it clear have no idea who I'm going to vote for. To early to just cross candidates off list. Well except for Trump
