Bob Kerrey: Tucson Shooter Was Angry About Repeal Of ObamaCare

Former Sen. Bob Kerrey: Arizona Shooter Was Angry About Health Care Reform
Former Senator Bob Kerrey called into Imus in the Morning and said although Congress should postpone business temporarily as a result of the Arizona shooting, to do so for much longer would not be a good idea. Also despite the investigation not yet revealing the killer’s true motives, Kerrey did not hesitate to offer up some speculation. Kerrey suggested: “Tomorrow they were going to vote to Repeal this Health Care bill, and well it’s not going to go anywhere in the Senate, it&...

Video: Fmr. Sen. Bob Kerrey (D-NE) Says AZ Shooter Did It Because GOP Is Trying To Repeal ObamaCare!
Good grief. And good riddance to this moron. The moonbattery starts at the 2:24 mark where Kerry specifically pins the shooting on the GOeffort to Repeal ObamaCare: 'Jumping the shark" doesn't quite cut it in the face of such idiocy. ...

Democrat: Giffords Shooter Was Angry Because Republicans Are Trying To Repeal Obamacare
“It’s one of the reasons this guy was angry,” says former Senator Bob Kerrey of Jarred Loughren. Right. So that’s why he murdered a Democrat member of Congress who voted for ObamaCare. Anyone else starting to get the feeling that Democrats consider any and all opposition to their agenda is what inspired Loughren? Meanwhile, in the United Arab Emriates, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton blames the shooting on “Extremists” who “sometimes get on TV.”...

New Website: Repeal Obamacare, No More Obamacare
American Solutions has started a new website to push the anti-Obamacare issue. Obviously the House will likely do a good job pushing Repeal measures but the problem will be the Senate. This site will focus on those recalcitrant Senators that might try to hamper the movement to repeal....

He Was Angry About Healthcare
Ex-Sen. Bob Kerrey on Imus: “Tomorrow they were going to vote to Repeal this Health Care bill — and it’s not going to go anywhere in the Senate — it’s one of the reasons that this guy was angry and pretty obvious that he is, at least from me, where I sit that he’s mentally ill and deeply troubled.” Tomorrow is also 1/11/11 and there is just as much evidence that Loughner was angry about that, and perhaps even more reason to think it. How fortunate that B...

Republicans Delay Repeal Vote On ObamaCare
The weekend shooting in Arizona at a Congressional event with constituents has led House Republicans to delay a Repeal vote against President Obama's Health Care bill. Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head and remains in critical condition and a Congressional aide was killed along with five other people in an attack which has ignited a debate about the tone of political Partisanship in the nation. The motive of the young gunman remains unclear although liberal and conservative com...

Rep. Goodlatte Would Support Defunding Obamacare if Repeal Effort Unsuccessful
Monday, January 10, 2011 By Dan Joseph Rep. Bob Goodlatter (R-Va.) Washington (CNSNews.com) -  A Virginia Republican congressman told CNSNews.com that he would not only vote for full Repeal of President Obama’s Health Care Legislation passed last March, but that he would also support efforts to defund the Legislation if Repeal efforts fail. On Capitol Hill last week, CNSNews.com asked Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.): “Rep. Steve King of Iowa is advocating including language in every appropr

Dem Rep - Don't Use Term "Job Killing" In Obamacare Repeal Bill
Here we go, from Democratic House Rep. Chellie Pingree of Maryland, writing at HuffPo (emphasis mine), who claims that the ObamaCare Repeal bill must be renamed in the wake for the Gabrielle Giffords shooting: As I write this, the motivation behind the shooting of my friend Gabby Giffords and eleven others isn't clear. We don't know what prompted the shooter to show up at Gabby's Congress on Your Corner at a Tucson Grocery Store with a semiautomatic pistol and the motivation to kill innocent pe...

Dem Congresswoman Says GOP Shouldnt Use Job Killing in Name of ObamaCare Repeal Bill
asdfjldfskjlsdf dfskl;asDF;K…sorry about that, I was banging my head off the keyboard. (Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-ME) via Huff Po)-As I write this, the motivation behind the shooting of my friend Gabby Giffords and eleven others isn’t clear. We don’t know what prompted the shooter to show up at Gabby’s Congress on Your Corner at a Tucson Grocery Store with a semiautomatic pistol and the motivation to kill innocent people. We don’t know if it was unmitigated hatred and...

U.S. Chamber of Commerce President: Regulatory 'tsunami' threatens economy, supports Obamacare repeal
U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue delivered his annual “State of American Business” address this morning. Donohue was also emphatic about the problem of overregulation of the American Economy: We must rein in excessive regulations and reform the regulatory process. At the federal level alone, regulations already fill 150,000 pages of fine-print text and cost Americans $1.7 Trillion a year. Many of these rules are necessary and business strongly supports them. Yet in rece...

America under ObamaCare, Day 294: repeal will save trillions
Even if some of the most conservative estimates of participation in ObamaCare prove to be correct in the next 15 years, the Legislation will still mean expenditures of about $102.8 billion every year once fully implemented, or about $1 Trillion over ten years. Why? Because, as supporters claim, the program will offer health coverage to about 32 million new people. 15.9 million new enrollees in Medicaid by 2019, as estimated by Kaiser Family Foundation, at an average federal cost of $4,950 per in...

THE LATEST Democrats Now Say Tucson Shooter Was Angry Because GOP Is Going to Repeal Obamacare (Video)
Do you believe these clowns? Is this what we’re going to have to listen to for the next year? That the crazy leftwing pothead killer shot up a Safeway because of Sarah Palin, or the Tea Party… or ObamaCare? Former leftwing Senator Bob Kerrey told Imus this morning that the reason the shooter was angry was because Republicans are going to Repeal Obamacare. Of course, there is not one iota of truth in that statement....

Global Warming Part II: It Really Doesn't Matter What The Facts Are; The Important Thing Is That Our Theory Is Vindicated No Ma
Allah makes a good point that deserves underscoring. Former Senator Bob Kerrey just made the claim that he doesn't know what Loughner's politics are (they're sort of pro-Matrix), and further, that we shouldn't read much into his politics whatever they are. That said, he's pretty sure it's the right's fault. No one can say what drove Loughner violently mad; but we're pretty confident it's anger caused by the Tea Party at ObamaCare. Here''s Allah on that: There’s not a shred of evidence I know of...

The award of the Medal of Honor doesn't keep you from becoming a total idiot: democrat Sen. Bob Kerrey
The Repeal of ObamaCare played a role in the assclown shooting people in Arizona. Really. Check it out at around the 2:25 mark. "It's one of the reasons this guy was angry..." To date, there is absolutely nothing to suggest that ObamaCare had anything to do with this guy's determination to shoot a Congresswoman or anyone else. Sen. Kerrey should know better. The leftists should know better. We should ALL know better. Loughner a murderer, liberals are sick - Yes this Loughner kid is a murderer....

Clyburn: Reading the Constitution provoked murder spree in Tucson, or something
In the race to see which Politico makes the biggest ass out of himself over the Shooting Spree in Tucson, Arizona, we can report that so far the frontrunners appear to be Rep. James Clyburn of North Carolina and former Senator Bob Kerrey of Nebraska, both Democrats.  In a rambling interview on the radio with Ed Schultz, Clyburn complains about people attempting to “delegitimize the President” and suggested that the reading of the Constitution in Congress last week had something to...

Bob Kerrey: The health-care bill was one of the reasons Loughner was angry
I know Ed mentioned it earlier but I think it deserves its own post. So random and haphazard is this that I can’t even tell if Kerrey means Loughner was angry about the original health-care bill that passed in March (i.e. the “rabid tea partier” narrative) or the Repeal bill that the House will vote on next week (which Kerrey explicitly mentions here). Presumably it’s the former. There’s not a shred of evidence I know of to support his theory and Kerrey himself se...

Demo Rep. Chellie Pingree: Republicans Should Change the Name of Their Health Care Repeal Bill
Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-ME) thinks using the term "Job Killing" in the title of the Republican's ObamaCare Repeal bill is too vitriolic. (HuffPo)- A good place to start a more civil dialog would be for my Republican colleagues in the House to change the name of the bill they have introduced to Repeal Health Care reform. The bill, titled the “Repeal the Job Killing Health Care Law Act,” was set to come up for a vote this week, but in the wake of Gabby’s shooting, it has been po...

The left is not about to waste this 'crisis'
Theme: The left's immediate reaction to the Arizona shooting proves, again, that it will not forgo any chance to exploit a tragedy ("crisis"). Minor theme: In the process, mostly through projection of its own perversions, it is setting records for hypocrisy, irrationality and unfairness. Politico reported that after the shootings, one Veteran Democratic operative said that President Obama should "deftly pin this on the tea partiers. Just like the Clinton White House deftly pinned the Oklahoma...

5 Strangest Explanations for Jared Loughner's Attack (The Atlantic Wire)
WASHINGTON, DC – There's no shortage of media speculation as to why Jared Loughner chose to attack Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Commentators have suggested possible roles for overheated political Rhetoric, mental illness, and even Sarah Palin's Controversial "crosshairs" map. But some explanations have been less conventional. Here are the five most unusual arguments so far about what led Loughner to his awful act. 'Did Pot Trigger Giffords Shooting?' That's the headline on a much-mocked rece...

House moves forward on ObamaCare repeal
In a procedural vote on Friday, the House of Representatives moved forward on plans to Repeal ObamaCare by instructing committees to begin marking up Legislation to replace the law passed in March of last year: The vote was 236-182 in favor of approving the rule, which is a House requirement setting the parameters of debate on underlying legislation. Usually, the rule is approved the same day as a final vote on legislation, but in this case, the vote on the bill won’t occur until next week...

Good grief: Hillary Clinton compares Gabrielle Giffords shooting to 9/11 attacks
Every liberal seems to be jumping the shark, one after another, over the shooting over the weekend of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson AZ. Palin's fault. Limbaugh's fault. It's because the GOP is trying to Repeal ObamaCare. Etc, etc, yada, yada. Clinton jumped the shark herself: Hillary Clinton compares Gabrielle Giffords shooting to 9/11 attacks In a television broadcast filmed before Students in Abu Dhabi, Mrs Clinton was asked why the 9/11 terror attacks, the work of a handful of ...

The Free Market and Health Care.
In my ongoing campaign to get everyone involved in public debate to be specific about what they're talking about, I'll point to this argument, from The Economist: [the Affordable Care Act] is exactly the result of 30 years of liberals letting go of the idea of a simple, centralised government programme of national Health Insurance, and instead devising increasingly market-based, decentralised, Friedmanite or Hayekian systems to achieve universal access to Health Care through private health-insur...

Chamber of Commerce backs repeal of Obama health care law
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is backing Republican plans to try and Repeal President Obama's Health Care bill. "We see the upcoming House vote as an opportunity for everyone to take a fresh look at Health Care reform," chamber president Thomas J. Donohue said in his annual State of American Business address. "And to replace unworkable approaches with more effective measures that will lower costs, expand access, and improve quality." The Republican-run U.S. House postponed a Wednesday vote on re...
