All of the good things they, along with President Obama, accomplished, trying to clean up the Bush-Cheney mess, prevent a financial melt down and get the country back on the road to prosperity, really burned my ass!! Preventing the financial melt down, which would not only have destroyed the American Stock Market, but would have taken down the World Stock Markets also. Helping GM and Chrysler make it through the rough financial times prevented not only the employees of those companies from losing their jobs, but also all the other companies, which would have been affected by it. How many jobs would have been lost, if the companies supplying GM & Chrsyler lost their biggest customer? Why would you want to risk that chance?
Then there is the main accomplishment, which should have been screamed out, to the top of their lungs in every possible way! How about the millions and millions of people, who did not have health insurance and now they do? How many changes were made to existing insurance policies?
1) Letting kids stay on their parents policies until they were 24.
2) Insurance companies could no longer deny you coverage because of a pre-existing
condition.
3) They could no longer drop you, when you reached the maximum they normally
allowed you!
4) People no longer had to be afraid of losing their house or savings, because they were
forced to file medical bankruptcy.
5) Hospitals, which were losing money, were no longer losing money, but were actually
showing a profit, now that they did not have so many people using the Emergency
Room. This created enormous bills which people could not pay, forcing the hospital
to write them off.
6) States, with Rethug governors, decided not to accept Federal money, to expand
Medicaid, letting their citizens and hospitals, file bankruptcy, causing hospitals to
close and residents to possibly lose everything they had to bankruptcy. How many
citizens of that state died needlessly, because they had no Health Insurance
coverage?
Some, like WI, decided to twist the knife a little harder and lowered the limit to
$597 a month, effectively kicking thousands of WI residents off Badgercare.
If you made more than that, you did not qualify, for Badgercare.
Obamacare changed so many things about insurance companies, which everyone could take advantage of, not just the ones, who signed up for Obamacare. Were there people, who were worse off because of Obamacare? Of course there were, but how many million people now had some kind of Health Insurance now and did not have to wait, until they were desperate and had to go to a high cost Emergency Room, for Health Care, when they could have caught it before it got so bad, if the had Health Care coverage, which would have covered routine care.
I watched Allison Lundgren-Grimes, who would not admit she voted for President Obama, but instead distanced herself from him, cowtowing to the Obama Haters, on the Far Right? Of course maybe she didn't vote for him and didn't want anyone to know that.
Instead of all the negative ads targeting Mitch McConnell, which by the way only helped his campaign, by keeping his name out there and reinforcing the views, of the Obama Haters. Did she shout out all the positive things Obama has accomplished? How many positive ads, or any ads, did she run, shouting out all he, and the Democrats, had accomplished, instead of helping Mitch McConnell's campaign, with her negative ads?
Why did she stoop to his level? How many ads did she run shouting out all President Obama and the Democrats have accomplished, without the Rethug's help, by the way? None! Zilch! Nada!
How about reminding the public how the Rethug's are trying to take away our right to vote? Look at all the laws the Rethug's want to enact, to supposedly stop voter fraud. What kind of fraud is it, when you slowly keep taking away a citizens right to vote, making it harder and harder for certain citizens to vote, but then they would only probably vote for a Democrat and we sure don't want that. They disguise it by claiming they are stopping voter fraud. How many people were caught doing voter fraud? Seems to me trying to take away a citizen's right to vote is a fraud.
All the Rethug's knew how to do, was fight him tooth and nail all the way, voting to defund Obamacare, for one, and deny their constituents Health Insurance coverage. How many times did they take a vote, to defund Obamacare and they failed to pass it? Wasn't it over 50 times? How many people realized the Rethugs want to take away their Health Care and deny them the right to vote?
How about, not mentioning any names, but remind the people how the Rethug's would rather piss away Tax Payer money on nuisance law suits and investigative commissions trying to find a scandal somewhere, anywhere. Think Benghazi! They only investigated it how many times now, isn't it 7, and came up with the same results? There has to be a scandal they could blame on President Obama and the Democrats, instead of doing the job they were voted in to do! How about passing legislation, to help create jobs for their constituents, or passing legislation, to fix the immigration problem?
All of the Tax Payer money they wasted since President Obama became President and nobody seems to care. She could have emphasized how the Rethug's piss away more and more Tax Payer money!! Of course there is plenty of it, where that came from!!
We can always blame it on the Democrats, for increasing the National Debt, when in reality, a lot of it was due to the idiotic things the Rethug's have done!! How many billion dollars did they cost the Taxpayer by shutting down the government, because they didn't want to increase the debt limit? How many people remember that, or do they forget how much money is and has been wasted on all of this?
The way Allison Lundgren-Grimes campaigned, made it look like she was distancing herself away from President Obama, instead of shouting out all of his and the Democrats accomplishments.
Did she buy into the Obama Hatred, of the wingnuts, on the far right, or what? I'm not very political and only since I found this web site, have I been able to vent my frustration with the way a lot of people vote. We have the Rethug's and the right-wing media, spewing out all the Obama hatred and we have so many people buying into it and accepting it as truth.
I just read on MSN about Dish dropping Faux News, because of the battle over how much Faux News needs to pay Dish, in order to be carried on their satellite network. What is really amazing is how many people rely on Faux News for their News and we wonder why they are so misinformed, when they get fed so many of the far Right's lies? Lies, which when they are proven false, Faux News will not admit.
Many are demanding the return of what they describe as their primary source of news. “I pay for service for one reason, and that is Fox News,” one person wrote.“I could care less about the rest of the crap.”“It’s like we’re about to close on a house and the realtor is trying to make us buy a new car as well,” said Warren Schlichting, Dish Network’s senior vice president of programming, said in a statement. “Fox blacked out two of its news channels, using them as leverage to triple rates on sports and entertainment channels that are not in this contract.”
“Fox News Channel did not disconnect Dish,” Carry said in a statement. “[R]ather, Dish prematurely ceased distribution of Fox News in an attempt to intimidate and sway our negotiations. It is unfortunate that the millions of Fox News viewers on Dish were used as pawns by their provider. Hopefully they will vote with their hard earned money and seek another one of our other valued distributors immediately.”
The dispute marks the first time in Fox News’ 18-year history that it has been blocked out by a major pay TV provider. Some longtime subscribers accused Dish of being in breach of contract by blacking out one of the anchor channels on the basic-TV lineup. “Make a deal with Fox today,” one Facebook user commented. “I don't know what my rights are, but I would never have signed up with Dish if it had not offered Fox News.”The Democrats could have used their campaigns to emphasize how much has changed for the better, because of them and President Obama, but what did they do? They constantly fell into the Rethug mantra of "negative campaigning". How many TV commercials did we see, where all they did was negative advertising, making sure they got the opponents name out there even more?
I was especially disgusted with the fact Mary Burke spent so much of her campaign money on negative advertising, stooping to Snotty Walker's level, when there was so much she could have bragged about, which the Democrats and President Obama had accomplished, but chose not to.
She figured people would come to her because Snotty Walker was so terrible. I'm not that much into politics, but I read news stories, not always from the best of sources, but also listen to the news on TV and it don't take much to see how stupid some of these stories are.
I refuse to listen to Faux News, because of how totally ignorant, most of the News Anchors are, especially, when they open their mouth. Is it just chance or is it on purpose, when practically all their people, who are on television, just happen to be women?
Are they trying to attract mostly right-wing male viewers, because of all of the eye candy? If I do hear a story from them, I take it with a grain of salt, because it is just too ridiculous to believe! Since I see what President Obama has accomplished and then hear them spouting Obama Hatred every chance they get, it's a sure thing they don't know what they are talking about.
Of course, like it is said "Tell as many lies as you can, to as many people as you can, encourage them to spread it, contact the right-wing news media to put it out there as much as possible, encourage everyone to keep repeating it and eventually everyone will believe it is true!"The following web site is where the MSN story is about Fox News and Dish.
