Charlie Crist Goes Down Obamulus Memory Lane

Charlie Crist has stated he didn't endorse Obama's pork spending plan - you know the one that's cost us jobs, increased our debt, and stimulated things that didn't need stimulating. Well here's the RINO caught in a lie:

Support Marco Rubio and let's get rid of Republicans In Name Only - we've got enough Democrats in Congress already!

I can't believe that silly Natalie Portman really thinks eating meat is as bad as rape. I guess he is Hollywood.

Let Your Voice Be Heard

A message from Congressman Mike Pence:

The House is going to vote on the Pelosi version of ObamaCare shortly, or so she promises. Find your Congressperson's contact info here and copy and paste this to them:


------
Dear ,

I vote in your district and I am paying attention to what you are doing in Congress. I will not tolerate any less than a defeat of the Pelosi version of the ObamaCare bill, which is an assault on our constitutionally protected freedoms, our access to top notch health care, and the American way of life.
I hope you do the right thing by voting against this bill to protect that which Americans value most - our freedom.

Sincerely,

-----


Take less than 5 minutes out of you day to do this. The more they hear from us, the more likely the bill will be defeated. Isn't 5 minutes of your day worth it - to save us from a $1.2+ trillion health care travesty?
Let's hit up the head witch,Nancy Pelosi, too, while we're at it:


-----
Dear Madam Speaker,

I am an informed voting taxpayer and I am paying close attention to what you are doing in Congress. Polls, rallies, and the August townhall meetings suggest that more Americans disapprove of your plan than approve, yet you still push forward.
When will Representatives, such as yourself, actually "represent" the American people?
Your health care bill is an assault on our constitutionally protected freedoms, our access to top notch health care, and the American way of life.
I look forward to your change of mind or your bill's defeat. If neither occur, then rest assured that you will lose your bid for re-election and leave a legacy of tremendous debt, inadequate access to expert health care, and an increased tax burden on a fragile economy.
Do the right thing for a CHANGE and write a bill that the American people want - without the public option.

Sincerely,

-----


I know this email text is a bit long and unlikely to be read, but I've got pages of stuff I actually want to say to Pelosi . Tough to squeeze that all in one brief email, but who knows. Maybe an extended version of this email will be a future post. At any rate, copy and send it to her. If nothing else, it'll keep an intern busy hitting the delete key, crash a server, or best case - make her change her mind. (not holding my breath on the last one)

Project Natal Painting Demo

I've been burning though some video games since I signed up on Gamefly, link on the right (hint, hint). I just beat Resident Evil 5 which was a pretty good game, although I must say Spiderman 3 is still the best game I've played to date. Any who... it made me think about that Project Natal again and so to satiate my craving, I searched and stumbled across a few more demo videos. This painting one looked pretty bad ass - I had to share:

Still no release date although it appears to be a late 2010 arrival - that's a long time, that'll be here before we know it.

CSIC: Virginia Foxx On Health Care

The ObamaCare plan (as well as basically his entire socialist agenda) has really helped muster the conservative movement. With the swelling support from people via the tea parties and townhall protests, it appears more Republican politicians are willing to reveal their conservative values and openly push back the leftist Democrat agenda.
It spawned a Common Sense in Congress segment last week and has yet another one now, courtesy of North Carolina Congresswoman Virginia Foxx:

Notable statements:

• "We have more to fear from the potential of that bill passing than we do from any terrorist, right now, in any country." Right on Mrs. Foxx! The government takeover of our health care system will cause permanent damage to this country, costing trillions of dollars, forcing us to borrow more money from China, and put future generations further in debt. You can't say any terrorist attack has caused harm to the country near that financial cost.

• Page 94—Section 202(c) prohibits the sale of private individual health insurance policies, beginning in 2013, forcing individuals to purchase coverage through the federal government

• Page 110—Section 222(e) requires the use of federal dollars to fund abortions through the government-run health plan—and, if the Hyde Amendment were ever not renewed, would require the plan to fund elective abortions
  

• Page 111—Section 223 establishes a new board of federal bureaucrats (the “Health Benefits Advisory Committee”) to dictate the health plans that all individuals must purchase—and would likely require all Americans to subsidize and purchase plans that cover any abortion

• Page 122—Section 233(a3) requires the new Insurance Czar to issue guidance on best practices of plain language writing. This from the same people that wrote a 1,990 page health care bill which is very difficult to read - so much so, most Democrats admit to not reading it and suggest that anyone wanting to read it or says they read it, won't understand it.

• Page 1183—Section 1904 provides $750 million in federal funding for new entitlement programs to offer knowledge of realistic expectations of age appropriate child behaviors and skills for parents to interact with their child. What the hell does this have to do with the access and affordability of health care?
  

• Page 1255—Sections 2231 to 2235 make veterinary students eligible for up to $283 million in federal scholarship and student loan forgiveness funds. Again I ask, what the hell does this have to do with the access and affordability of health care?

• Page 1432—Section 2531 provides incentive payments to states that enact new medical liability laws, but only if such laws do not limit attorney's fees or impose caps on damages. So the veterinary lobby gets $283 million in funds on a health care bill and the trial lawyer lobby gets no restrictions on lawsuit limits or fees? How wonderful and anti-corrupt is the Obama Administration and the Nancy Pelosi House? I believe most rational people know the biggest problem with health care costs are caused by the excessive and frivolous lawsuits and subsequent judgments, and increased liability insurance costs(in most instances). I think even Socky would agree with that - so how could the do-good'ing Democrats put this in here? Trial lawyers got their number I suppose.

Virginia is correct, we should be frightened by this bill. Here are some other items it includes:

• Page 211—Section 321 establishes a new government-run health plan that, according to non-partisan actuaries at the Lewin Group, would cause as many as 114 million Americans to lose their existing coverage.

• Page 225—Section 330 permits—but does not require—Members of Congress to enroll in government-run health care.

• Page 255—Section 345 includes language requiring verification of income for individuals wishing to receive federal health care subsidies under the bill—while the bill includes a requirement for applicants to verify their citizenship, it does not include a similar requirement to verify applicants’ identity, thus encouraging identity fraud for undocumented immigrants and others wishing to receive taxpayer-subsidized health benefits.

• Page 297—Section 501 imposes a 2.5 percent tax on all individuals who do not purchase “bureaucrat-approved” health insurance—the tax would apply on individuals with incomes under $250,000, thus breaking a central promise of then-Senator Obama’s presidential campaign - although he's broken several promises already.

• Page 313—Section 512 imposes an 8 percent “tax on jobs” for firms that cannot afford to purchase “bureaucrat-approved” health coverage; according to an analysis by Harvard Professor Kate Baicker, such a tax would place millions “at substantial risk of unemployment”—with minority workers losing their jobs at twice the rate of their white counterparts.

• Page 336—Section 551 imposes additional job-killing taxes, in the form of a half-trillion dollar “surcharge,” more than half of which will hit small businesses; according to a model developed by President Obama’s senior economic advisor, such taxes could cost up to 5.5 million jobs.

• Page 520—Section 1161 cuts more than $150 billion from Medicare Advantage plans, potentially jeopardizing millions of seniors’ existing coverage.

• Page 733—Section 1401 establishes a new Center for Comparative Effectiveness Research; the bill includes no provisions preventing the government-run health plan from using such research to deny access to life-saving treatments on cost grounds, similar to Britain’s National Health Service, which denies patient treatments costing more than £35,000.

• Page 1174—Section 1802(b) includes provisions entitled “TAXES ON CERTAIN INSURANCE POLICIES” to fund comparative effectiveness research, breaking Speaker Pelosi’s promise that “We will not be taxing [health] benefits in any bill that passes the House,” and the President’s promise not to raise taxes on families with incomes under $250,00- Again we know he's broken that seal already!

Read the bill and verify these claims if you (Socky) don't believe it!
We've just tried to do some of the dirty investigative work for you to understand this complex, nearly incomprehensible, costly attack on our individual liberties and freedoms.
