Ugh. This Marilyn Parker lady is just insane. It’s a shame the entire Republican establishment is ashamed of her. Because it’d be a hoot to watch her run in a real race against John Yarmuth. But since that’s not happening, let’s take a look at her latest email blast.
Commentary on P. Obama’s healthcare Address:
I was expecting lightning bolts and stars to fall from the sky but it didn’t happen. It was the same rhetoric that citizens have been hearing for months. There was one “almost” concession for conservatives. The president is going to study,I repeat study TORT reform. The concession for liberals was that the public option would be included, but only for the uninsured.
The president states that he “‘pulled the economy back from the brink”. The economy has had a very slight uptick but his administration has lost 2.4 million jobs. The economy would have been much better off if he would have controlled spending and created an environment that could create jobs.
It sounds very nice to say that health care consumers will not be excluded or dropped from coverage due to a preexisting condition, but statistics dictate that costs will go up not down, for every one, no matter who delivers the plan. Covering preexisting conditions, adding 53 new, forever, government agencies, and insuring 30 million uninsured, will logically increase costs. If you don’t believe me then just ask the CBO.
I honestly do not know how insurance companies will be able to survive this administration. When insurance companies are faced with covering preexisting conditions, paying for prescreening tests such as mammograms and colonoscopies, there is no cap on lifetime coverage, and they are regulated in how much they can charge, which they already are, they will be headed out of business. Remember the government doesn’t have to stay viable with a 2.2 to 3% profit margin as do insurance companies do. The sky is the limit for the government that doesn’t have to turn a profit, can print more money and just add to the deficit. If the president wanted to obtain savings from big business he should have gone after the pharmaceuticals that garner a 19% profit. The pharmaceuticals are in bed with Obamacare because they understand that they will make even bigger profits when treatments are rationed because it is considered by the new government bureaucracy to be better to “take a pill.”
Ready for the rest of this mess? It’s rather entertaining. Peep it after the jump…
The president also talked about insuring those that don’t have health insurance by offering them the advantage to be in a health insurance exchange that includes a government option and an insurance option. He stated that he would offer “tax credits” ie. welfare checks, to pay for it. He said the government option would be paid for by the premiums it collects (from the tax credits it gives) from the people that couldn’t afford it to begin with. It all makes perfect sense.
P. Obama also made the statement let’s “keep what works and fix what’s broken.” Wait a minute, isn’t that what conservatives’ have been saying for months!
I personally do not appreciate the smears and insults that were thrown at conservatives when all bipartisan efforts were off the table from the very beginning from this administration, no free market reforms, and every amendment that was brought to the table requiring verifications standards for illegals and to ensure that the loopholes for government sponsored abortions were not allowed were all voted down along party lines. I applaud the congressman whoever it was that yelled out “that’s a lie.” in reference to Obama stating that there were no provisions for illegals obtaining coverage and government sponsored abortions.
Death panels-Obama ridiculed the term “death panel.” Conservatives should stop talking about the end of life counseling as the death panel. It is the health advisory boards that will restrict, ration, and regulate health care, that will increase mortality rates. For example, in Canada and the UK, the cancer survival rates are 15% lower than the US. because of rationing and diagnostic delays.
The president talks about “character and self reliance” while at the same time proposing a huge entitlement to make people even more dependent on the government.
His rhetoric was divisive and contradictory, his plan was unexplanatory and contradictory, and he could not logistically explain on how he would keep his reform deficit neutral.
The president once again trashed former president Bush and continually talks about the debt that he inherited but never explains why he has almost quadrupled it. He will not tell you that the Bush deficit in 2007 was less than 400 billion, or that the Bush defict in 2007 was less than 200 billion, and that TARP was brought to us not by president Bush but by liberals lobbying for their socialistic housing plan for low income subprime loans.
The president stated that physicians and nurses were signed on to his plan. Not true-60% to 70% of medical professionals do not sign on to this plan.
President Obama did not move mountains in this address, and that’s what he needed to do to convince the American people.
It’s pure comedy. We couldn’t make this stuff up if we tried.

Oh lawdy, lawdy, lawdy, Miss Priss… like I can’t even imagine how private package delivery will ever survive, not to mention private colleges, private bottled water, etc. Barry is just gonna destroy them all! Aaaaaaaaah!
On a serious note, health care legislation is doing more than studying tort reform, they are effectively establishing medical review boards to weed out flimsy lawsuits. Further, tort reform has been in effect for years in California and Texas, and lo and behold, health care costs just keep rising at dramatic rates.
Ms. Parker, please look up the concept “perverse profit incentive” and tell the minority of doctors who order the extra procedures/tests for profit-taking purposes to stop taking the candy!

This is no more “pure comedy” than some of the stuff President Obama put out the other night. That said, Marilyn needs to consider showing her tits, if for no other reason than Yarmuth has lousy tits (I hear tell) Just. Can’t. Help. It. PS Magruder, read up a bit on the cost to Ca and Tx public schools and hospitals for illegal immigration, not to mention jails and prisons.

Ray Re, the right wing needs to admit that tort reform doesn’t do the job.

Magruder, let me know when some Democratic Party stalwarts such as public employees, unions, trial lawyers, etc are asked to sacrifice dick in Obama’s Great Re-Ordering. If 23 year old hipsters have to prove health insurance or pay 3,000 dollar fines, then surely some attorneys can make do with mere 1,500 dollar suits?

Ray, do you mean the suits they file or the suits they wear?

That woman looks like the conductor on the crazy train.

All of you are pathetic! Obviously the left in KY is afraid someone with common sense and a wholesome intelligent approach to political philosophy may beat no answer Yarmuth. Instead of maliciously attacking a private citizen who is actively attempting to change the status who in Washington, why don’t you go back to being clueless (the typical state of mind for the left)!!

HAHAHAHA – that is pee-worthy.
Guess what? Candidates aren’t private citizens – they’re candidates. Deal with it.
Tell me what’s wholesome and intelligent about proclaiming Barack Obama a socialist terrorist foreigner and I’ll buy you a car, sweet cheeks.
Thank goodness you nutballs are in the severe minority.

MP: “There was one “almost” concession for conservatives. The president is going to study,I repeat study TORT reform.”
-Why do most conservatives always seem to have this insatiable hard-on for tort reform of everything that is holy?
Tort reform represents 1-2% of our overall health care costs in the United States. That’s it. How is saving 1-2% on costs (max.), meaningful health care reform? It isn’t.
Tort reform of the health care industry is just another talking point from the right. What it would do however, is save a few companies some (money), which is what is always most important to right-wing conservatives, not the health care needs for people.

MP: “The economy would have been much better off if he would have controlled spending and created an environment that could create jobs.”
-or… we could employ the use of more Republican tax cuts (ie., give away to the rich), like we have the last eight years, which is partly how we got into this mess in the first place (humor implied).

Tim Dowd,
-That woman IS the conductor on the crazy train, and she is selling one-way tickets to Psycho City. ALL-ABOARD!!! (Bob, this means you) lol!!!

Given that Obama was a citizen of and lived in Indonesia for a few years, that alone could make him be considered a “foreigner” (regardless of whatever happened in Kenya or Hawaii), just like California’s governor, who spent much of his childhood in another country also. Nothing unwholesome or unintelligent about that: he lived where he lived.
As for being a “socialist,” obviously his views are more socialistic than Parker’s (although less than Ralph Nader’s). Many rankings of Senate votes considered Obama as the most liberal of Senators in his votes. Nothing unwholesome or unintelligent about that either: his votes were his votes.
As for being a terrorist, I don’t consider Obama a terrorist so you win one out of three. (Although some might consider the closing of Guantanamo to show sympathy towards terrorists, I personally think we ought to move them to one of the closed bases on the freezing Aleutian Islands [housing them on Attu or Kiska would remind Americans that our land can be attacked and has been captured in the past] and out of the sunny Caribbean with its temperatures that the terrorists are used to.)
Do I win two-thirds of a car, then? That would mean a Kia. :-)

“Marilyn Fills My Wildest Dreams”
It is something she whispered. Something she said so gently yet erotically: What if a number of the insurance companies go out of business? That would be heavenly, darling Marilyn. Now, when are you going to speak to the needs of average Kentuckians and not just sign on as a sychophant of Mitch?
P.S. You don’t have a chance in hell, so it is nice to include you in my dreams.
